Professor Burnham is extremely passionate about the medieval ages. She essentially fan-girled throughout all of the lessons. For this class, we only had a short paper, 2 chronological quizzes, a midterm, and a final paper/presentation. Based on my previous history course, this seems like a standard amount of assignments in the history department. One down side to this is that this means that we must perform well on these assignments. Therefore, it was pretty hard to gauge how I stood in the course as the midterm was taken near the end of the semester.

Burnham spent most of this class lecturing. The individual topics we spoke about and read about were interesting by themselves, but the course lacked a throughline to connect all the topics. Burnham didn't return a single grade to us the entire semester. Most of the grade is a big group project, the groups for which you don't get to choose. I did not wind up with an excellent group and we all had busy schedules that made it difficult to work together. This class is low-key a ton of work, but if you are into the subject, Burnham is super passionate and knowledgable. In general she seems nice and accomodating.

Prof. Burnham was super passionate. Overall this was an easy class that all you have to do is go to lecture and write a couple of essays. We did some salt and pepper taste testing which was very fun and cool.
