Marguerite Lenius

I really enjoyed this class, and Professor Lenius’s enthusiasm for the subject made it fun to learn. The readings were interesting and gave a lot of different perspectives, and I especially liked the final project. At times I thought the class could have been a bit more organized, particularly with discussions, but overall it was a great experience.

I took this class just to get the distribution requirement for Africa. It is a very lecture heavy class. The first exam was a bit challenging but once you see how the professor is going to grade the exam the next exams were much easier. Overall not too bad of a class just have to figure out how to do well

I took this class to fulfill my art and history requirements. I initially thought it would be a very chill class, but I soon found out that her insanely high expectations made the class less fun. I was constantly trying to memorize and take notes of whatever the visiting professor mentioned. She covers a huge timeline and includes tons of civilizations. One main thing I think would improve the class immensely and make it more enjoyable is if she didn't expect us to memorize hundreds of art pieces and every detail about them, plus vocab from each era, and when it's quiz time, there are around 4 art pieces and 6 vocab. But she made the last quiz optional, which helped.
