Super sweet and understanding prof. Lectures are interesting and easy to follow, but expect to take notes the entire class time. Graded on in-class essay for the midterm and cumulative final, as well as 8 total short responses. Learned so much about American history that helped shape my overall perspective.

Dr. Case is my favorite professor I've ever had. She is so knowledgeable and will always give you her time. I have had the privilege of taking multiple classes with her and she has truly helped shape my time at UCSB into something amazing. If you have the chance, take her classes, you won't regret it.

SUCH A TOUGH GRADER. I tend to receive A's on my papers in all other classes and in this class the highest I got was a B- and that was after I had spent weeks writing it (outline & all) and proofreading it with others. She expects students to already know America's history so she teaches the course without explaining much and tests are really hard.

Turned out to be really interesting. Her lectures are easy to follow and well organised and I felt comfortable participating in class. 2 papers, 1 midterm and a final. She was very knowledgeable and the readings were actually really interesting even though there was a lot. I really enjoyed this class!

Professor Case is a really great teacher. She knows a lot and cares about her students. I was sometimes confused during class but she always helped me to improve. And I really improved during the semester. I took the feminist class and I was not disappointed about the material. I learnt a lot. Don't hesitate to go and see her to her office!!

We wrote 10 papers, had two quizzes, a midterm and a final. She is REALLY tough on grading the papers but is generous for the quizzes. The midterm was a pain since there was little time and the prompts asked about SPECIFIC people. She does NOT post lectures on GS; they slides wouldn't help anyhow. BUT the material is very interesting.
