HIST9 . Jacobson L A Month Ago

Boring lectures. 80% of the reading for the class is her own writing - doc'd points for not understanding her exact viewpoint. She assigned a group project right before thanksgiving break and made groups present immediately after (no time to meet). Doc'd points for needed more analysis on essays despite having low page limits. 2/10 don't recommend

Interesting content that she made super boring and dense. Graded things harshly. Asked for concise papers with a low page limit only to mark us down for not going in depth or writing enough. Also really slow to grade things so we didn't even know how to improve.

Interesting course ruined by extremely slow grading and odd grading criteria. Last two big assignments we went into not knowing how well we did on the previous one. Expects a deep analysis of course material in essays but the material isn't even that deep to begin with. Overall, interesting course, really odd professor.

She is amazing. Readings and lectures were extremely engaging and got me excited to attend classes. After taking this course, I've been inspired to pursue a thesis on meatpacking and agricultural labor conditions. I think everyone should take this class - the lessons and discoveries about the global food system are both essential and infuriating.

she crashed out in lecture over an unconfirmed israel/palestine WaPo headline (which, at the time of her crashout, had already been pulled by WaPo for unverified info). lowkey unprofessional for a history prof, especially with antisemitism at a high. also had a required reading by an author who publicly justified 10/7. easiest class ever though.
