HIST4B . Bernstein H J A Month Ago

She's an excellent professor, especially if you care about the subject. While there is a lot of reading each week (usually ~30 pages of textbook plus ~30 pages of primary sources), if you keep up with it then participating in discussion and writing essays isn't difficult. Definitely a good class for history majors.

This class is fairly easy in terms of grading, but the lectures are a little quick, and there is a lot of reading and writing. Both the final and the midterm are in-class essays. As a history major, I liked this class, but my friends who aren't thought it was a little boring. Overall, if you need this class for a gen ed it is a good option.

When it comes to the professor, she is good, she knows her stuff and I respect that. All I'm gonna say is get ready to write, write, write! There is a lot of writing involved. It wasn't easy but you just gonna stay on top of your stuff to survive and you should be good. Overall, she was an ok professor, she was nice and is easy to talk to.

This class was very interesting but be prepared to write. It is a writing based class so if you don't want to do that do not take this class. It is also very dependent on your TA. I felt that my TA, although very nice and helpful was a much tougher grader than the others. Lectures are super interesting and both lecture and section are mandatory.

Good lecturer, but pretty boring after half a quarter but she's super nice in person. Jungki TA is my GOAT. Theres 3 in class essays (1 midterm and 2 final) and several primary source readings weekly. it's manageable but the texts are dense. You are also supposed to read the textbook alongside this but it doesn't do much. Disc post every week ok.

ACTUALLY HIST 121R (no option)- hard class, grades assignments tough, gives great feedback, expects lots of participation and groupwork, I spent more hours than I can even estimate on my paper, in the end she graded our final papers exceptionally nicely
