I love this professor! She is hilarious and lecture was so entertaining. I only did about half the readings for the class and got an A. If you go to lecture you don't really have to read. Midterm and final were take home and pretty easy.

Very sweet! You can tell she cares about what she's teaching. There is a lot of reading, I read around half of it all and still got an A. You're basically only graded on section attendance and the few writing assignments she gives.

easy course as long as you take notes, 1 midterm and 1 final, both very easy and taken from home. one oral history project, time consuming but not bad. overall very welcoming environment and my favorite professor at ucsb so far.

You do the readings and work hard on exams and paper and you will do good. Classes are in lecture format, so it was boring. Discussions are okay but more work. In class, she said a scholar who she didn't agree with her was dumb. Disrespectful.

TAKE THIS COURSE! u will look forward to every single lecture. didn't even mind the 50 pgs worth of weekly readings because i genuinely loved the topics. i will say don't procrastinate the essays i ended up writing a 13 page essay the day before it was due and i stayed up until like 5am doing it. section attendance is graded

Due to the TA strike, my time in this class was very limited, but by far it's the best class I've taken at UCSB. Many readings were assigned but I found them to be engaging, informative, and genuinely interesting. Attendance is mandatory in the section but TAs are very understanding. Overall, I would take this course again if I could.
