I really enjoyed this class, both Professor Spears and Professor Ralph are very kind and fair in grading. There is a fair amount of reading, and the classes were mostly discussion-based so you had to do some of the reading in order to contribute but I would say you can definitely get by without doing all of the readings. There were no exams and the papers were pretty easily graded. Definitely would recommend this class!

The class is very reading heavy and a few papers can be long; however, if you can do most of the reading you'll be fine. Be prepared to talk in class though, Professor Spears appreciates it! He's an amazing teacher, will be taking more classes with him.
Best class ever!! Class is co-taught and there is great banter between Tim and Jim. Highly highly recommend to any Middlebury student - whether for a major/minor or a distribution requirement. There is way more history in chicago than I realized!
