I think this is a good course to get an intro to the entire Atlantic but the topic is just so broad that I found it hard to really get anything out of the class. Also, the midterm was worth 50% of the grade - it was not a hard test by any means but just something to be aware of before taking this class. I did not expect to have exams at all in a history course so this was a surprise to me.

Professor Tropp is truly passionate about this topic! While the readings were enjoyable, several pages/chapters would be assigned that were necessary for class discussions. For essays, several prompts were given and students were allowed to choose. The grading for these essays were fair, as long as students truly put their best foot forward. All in all, this course was great!
It was an enjoyable class. Mendoza is a great discussion lead and very good at assigning interesting readings, so I'm glad I got to take a 400 level seminar with her. Class consisted of a research project, 2 6 page papers based on weekly readings, and a longer final paper plus presentation. High discussion grade.
