It is so important to take notes for this class. I really enjoyed this class and I found Professor Wittman to be interesting and engaging!! I would recommend getting notion or another app where you can insert pictures with your notes. Attend all lectures and use Quizlet to memorize dates, locations and sites. It is very hard for a G.E. though...

The professor exhibits an impressive vocabulary that is both helpful and strongly applicable for learning the course material. His lectures were beautiful, and his office hours help was very beneficial.

I initially took this class reluctantly to fill a GE and was amazed by it. The lectures he gives are super interesting, and he's very passionate about the subject. That being said, this class requires a good amount of effort: two papers, two midterms, and a final. It's not overkill, but isn't an easy A. Taking it P/NP makes it much easier though.
