Winter 2023 - This professor is knowledgeable and skilled, but his frequent use of "uhhhh" can be distracting. During the first eight minutes of class, I counted 70 instances of him saying "uhhhh" which may affect some students' ability to focus. However, if you can overlook this tendency, it is an engaging and informative course.

Winter 2024 - This was an amazing class!!! Definitely take it! This class is extremely easy! No exams! (The final was a 3 page reflection about the class, what you learned and focusing on one of the aspects of a historian and choosing one weekly assignment and Perusall reading to help explain it.)The weekly homework was to do some readings on Persuall, make a comment and respond to another comment. There were also weekly "Portfolio Assignments" the assignments varied but all were extremely easy (Venn diagrams, analyzing a news article, doing some drawing, watching video and answering some questions) these assignments definitely do not take long to complete. There was also one TA for everyone and she was super sweet and helpful if you reached out. I was not able to enter the class on my first or second pass so I reached out to the professor to see if she could give me a PTE number and she gladly responded that she would be more than able to. I also had some trouble attending my assigned discussion section but they allowed me to attend the one that fit with my schedule since we all had the same TA. This class offers so much flexibility and they are both super understanding. She is an amaing professor and even though I am a Sociology major, given that the contest was focused on the history of certain science events, the content was interesting and I loved learning about every single topic. This class counts as a GE and you will not regret it!
