THIS IS A FANTASTIC CLASS!!! Please don't listen to the older reviews!! Professor Paul is one of my favorite professors ever she actually listens to her students, she's incredibly understanding, and her class is very interesting and engaging. She listened to previous feedback and there's no TA now, Professor Paul teaches the entire class herself. Her class does require participation, don't expect to just sit there and fall asleep during her lectures. It's very easy and engaging and I feel like I left the class with a much deeper appreciation of history.
