HIST0115 with Rebecca Bennette5 days ago

I am not a History major or minor, and I wanted to take this course because it knocked off a requirement, but also to fill my schedule. This ended up being one of my favorite classes so far. I believe the professor does a really good job of teaching such horrific tragedies in an informative and interesting way. This class does require you to read a lot, and the class is based on discussion. Sometimes she will lecture, but most of the time you will discuss all that you have read in class. It is important that you read everything because most of it comes up, and if you don't, you will be lost in the discussion. The professor also expects you to contribute to the discussion and not be the only person who never speaks in class. Overall, I enjoyed this class, and it was informative and triggered new ways of defining mass atrocities.

HIST0247 with Rebecca Mitchell11 days ago

It is very clear that Professor Mitchell has a large breadth of knowledge that she is so excited to share when it comes to russian history. She really expects that students take an active role in their own learning with weekly discussion boards and new readings for each class. She also has a very interesting teaching style since she expects that you bring up evidence from the readings to support what she says in lecture. She doesn't let students get away with the assumption that since she is saying it is true and forces them to prove every point that is made in class which I find very helpful.

The quizzes were fairly easy, the papers were fairly difficult as you would have to closely analyze the films and readings. The presentation is only 10 minutes long and allowed student to really understand what they were presenting and what they learned.
