CollegeProfessor Bouley lectures are entertaining, and very well detailed! He is always making sure that everyone in lecture understand and asking questions. I did not skip or miss any lectures which I can defintely say is the reason for my A in the class. If you're thinking about taking the class, do it!
Took history-9. Very well structure course, clear directions on every assignment. Amazing lecturer, and is funny and approachable. Helpful in-class and is very accessible via email or office hours
Bouley is clearly passionate about the material and does his best to make lectures interesting. Go in w/ reasonable expectations bc RMP had me thinking lectures would be absolutely captivating. Not always - it's still class. He's extremely accessible during Office Hours. Rlly sweet guy. TA was a harsh grader but made section fun.
The readings were long but some of them were really interesting, and the fact that you only have to do six of them allows you to pick and choose in advance. Best history lecturer I've ever had, I'd literally spend the lecture before his thinking "I've just got to get through this and then I've got bouley". My section wasn't great but YMMV
