Such an easy class. No midterm or final. Your grade is made up of 3 papers and section participation. You do not have to attend lectures but some of them were interesting and provided good ideas for what to write about in your papers.

She is such a great professor, I learned so much from her lectures. By week 9 the lecture hall was almost empty. The grade is 3 papers and section participation. The lecture was there to give inspiration for papers and section discussion so if you know enough about the topics, lecture is optional. A lot of weekly reading articles though.

Such a great class! Lecture attendance optional, but section attendance is mandatory. Would recommend and wish I could take again :)

Prof Perrone is extremely kind and reasonable. Your grade consists of 3 Op-Ed papers. They have no prompt which can be difficult, but there is an optional rewrite in place of a final. Lots of reading, but not required to do well in the course. Great class if you have background History knowledge and are good at writing.

Professor Perrone is amazing! Such an engaging lecturer and even tho attendance isn't mandatory I suggest going anyways. Always opinionated and passionate about what she teaches. Grading is based on 3 op-eds of your choice + section grade. LOTS of readings every week, but they are pretty much optional (though sometimes discussed during section).

Amazing lectures and really interesting content. Attendance optional but I would suggest going because the lectures are just that good. Graded off of 3 papers and optional rewrite to replace lowest score. Sections based off readings that week and had very engaging discussions. Definitely will take another class of Perrone's again.
