CollegeI really liked this class, I learned a lot. The essay topics were interesting and topical, including the final project. The content is difficult to absorb and can be time-consuming, but if you're interested in the subject you will greatly enjoy this class.
Very good lecturer. Clear that she is well-educated, especially on the topics she teaches. Always easy to follow, engages very well with the class, and is very kind. Will answer questions in depth and make sure students understand. Readings are assigned weekly, but she breaks them down in lecture so that we truly understand. Highly recommend.
Definitely, a lot of reading in this class but the professor is nice, the material is interesting, and the essays aren't too bad. Would definitely recommend it for a History major but maybe not for someone who is not especially certain in their essay writing abilities.
I loved this class! Professor O'Connors lectures are socratic, which I like, and utilizes slideshow presentations. She really cares about her students but is also a great teacher!
