I took it as a GE also as a premajor requirement before my freshman year started. Prof Hunt is the most amazing teacher i have had in my life. Lessons were all pre-recorded and we had 18 lectures in total. Content is definitely very pact give that the course covers everything from 17th-21st century. I go to Prof Hunt’s office hour a lot to ask questions on assigned reading and she would be very happy to have a conversation. I have to say DONT TAKE history class if you have poor writing skills. This class is super intense (especially in summer quarter) and your prof/TA will not be able to help you on your midterm and final, which together weights 75% of the grade. It also largely depends on who you get as your TA but TAs are the one grading your paper, not the professor. In my experience, I did not have a pleasant time with my TA. I did not receive feedback on my essay from week 2 until the end of week 5 (week6 is final week). In general, would not consider this an easy GE but take it if you truely love the course content
