Rebecca Bennette
A great overview of Europe in the 20th century. Weekly readings had the option of a more traditional in depth text book or a much lighter more conversationally written option. Occasionally tho, readings were books in the ~200 page range. Discussion sections felt a bit large at ~20 people, but still gave time to ask questions and go over key takeaways from the lectures and readings. Only one 5 page essay, a 50 minute midterm and a 2 hour final. Prof. Bennette is very nice, and gives very engaging lectures.

Prof Bennette is wonderful professor. Her enthusiasm and personlity are apparent throughout her lectures. Her exams and homework are all extremely fair in terms of difficulting and helpful in understanding modern euro.
