Fall 2020 - If you’re looking for an easy history course, this is the one. The class is made up of 7 quizzes , a final and midterm, and one extra credit opportunity worth up to 5% of your grade. I recommend doing the extra credit even if you feel like you’re doing well in the class. The professor asked you to write a minimum of X amount of words on the essay but don’t expect to actually write that much she wants much more than that in actuality and will take off points if you fail to mention every source that was gone over in class. Take advantage of office hours to organize your thoughts for the exams. The lectures were interesting and there are weekly quizzes based upon them but they are easy since you just have to remember the terms in red from the slides.
