Professor Alexander was nice in the sense that workload was not heavy and exams were not ver hard. Actually, it's probably quite easy compared to other history classes. If you are here for a good grade, it's definitely there if you do all the required work (and there weren't so many). In this way, the professor is pretty concerned about the students. One thing that could've been better is the lecture material. There are only a few pictures in every lecture without any notes on the slides, and the professor doesn't write notes on the board either. Everything I learned through this course is from Wikipedia and the textbook. The TAs were very helpful and nice. Overall, I would recommend this class as a GE.

He's a great professor. Exactly what I expect for a college environment. His lectures are informative and he goes over key points more than once, so taking notes for his class is a good experience. I really enjoy him and wish I would have taken more classes with him before my senior year. I haven't personally interacted with him but he absolutely is nice and will help you if you ask. 180A is so interesting I have actually done all the readings for the class! He deserves a much higher rating. Very solid class and professor.
