WARNING: does not record lectures, does not post slides, and takes attendance by roll call. It is basic world history topics with a main focus on the middle east. The class is broken up into a 4 page book review (HAVE to read a book) and write about it, 5 reaction papers that were originally graded on quality but then got switched to completion, and the final which consisted of 2 3-page essays. The professor is super nice but has old-ish rules/tendencies with how he runs the class. Nice because there are no tests and not that many essays but you have to go to class and your engagement likely impacts your grade. Expect 100+ pages of reading a week from books and articles.
