The professor gives good lectures. The grade is determined by the ta.

As someone who doesn't like history I found his lectures to be very engaging. The midterm is free response questions, where you get a page of notes. The final is a 5-7 page paper. Section is mandatory and you are expected to do a lot of reading some weeks, but it is definitely manageable. Only homework is 6 essay responses to the weekly readings.

He is a very good lecturer and makes the content fun to learn! This class was very easy as long as you do the reading and pay attention in lecture.

You could do well if you are passionate about history, otherwise you'll find the lectures and readings very boring. There are readings every week paired with a 300 word written response, a midterm exam, and a final paper, and they were all graded pretty harshly by my TA. Overall, the experience largely depends on your TA.

Super passionate and engaging. I'm not a history person, but I loved his lectures. The assigned readings are fairly easy to understand and pretty interesting. The lecture slides have ver y little information on them, so don't skip class :)

Professor Bouley is a great professor! I loved his lectures, they were very engaging and entertaining, there are weekly writing assignments but only 6 are required. The midterm is defining some terms and an essay and the final is a paper. I highly recommend this class as the content was interesting as well.
