HIST0217 with Jim Ralph3 days ago

Professor Ralph is very enthusiastic about the the class material. Well put together lectures that explore the history of cities and historic developments of American cities. Quite engaging if you make it past early-morning hazes and history-paper-style eloquence. Papers and projects are very engaged in the historic and contemporary scene of American urban lives and encourage students to explore topics of interest in pressing urban issues today. He is also very willing to learn about the students personally, as well as students' personal experience with urban lives, and reference them in discussion sessions. Discussion attendance is mandatory unless excused. One of the classes I found worth getting up early for.

HIST0339 with Febe Armanios4 days ago

I can't have loved this course anymore. I had very limited experience with the topics in the class, and wanted to learn more, and I am so glad I did. I learned so much about Christians in the Middle East, and how they influence the current geopolitical scene in the area today, and I feel much more equipped to understand and discuss some of these issues now. The readings and class material were engaging, and Professor Armanios was extremely fair and very enthusiastic about the material. If you have a chance to take this class, or any class with her, jump at the chance

HIST0375 with Jacob Tropp4 days ago

do not take this class if you are looking for a distribution requirement. so much reading and lectures were just him talking the whole time with no slides with words just with pictures which made it very hard to follow all the material and dates since its a fast paced course. he is very tough on grading and no matter how hard you try it never seems good enough. I would not take this course again. Readings are long, sometimes hundreds of pages a week.
