This class was about Economic European history. The subject wasn't that great but he got a good point across. He repeats stuff so he can get it in your head. The midterm was ok, it was multiple choice true/false, and the final was ok but took a while to do. The final was exaclty like the StudyGuide he gave us, even though thats cool, you still have to remember a lot of the stuff he taught. Very cool professor, he seems like he gets irritated with questions, but in reality he encourages it. So a pretty good professor. Worth taking, also the he looks at attendance when grading, so its important to attend class.

Fall 2024 - This class was challenging but deeply rewarding. It advanced my understanding of Europe dramatically. The content is not simple. I found it especially difficult at the beginning, but as we covered more events, the key concepts of the course and their relationship to one another became clear. Professor Ghervas is an inspiring lecturer with a vast store of knowledge. She expects students to take themselves seriously as scholars of history, and she encourages them to analyze ideas and to express well-developed opinions in lecture. (I learned a lot from my classmates in this course.) I highly recommend HIST 132 to anyone willing to devote time and effort to history.
