Great class to take over the summer. Only graded on one paper (4-6 pages), weekly forum posts, section participation, and the final. Really engaging lectures for an online class.

I took the online summer session for this course and was amazed at how engaging the lectures were despite being recorded! I can imagine her in person classes are even better.

Prof Perrone is an incredible lecturer. I looked forward to her class weekly. I enjoyed it so much that I am taking another one of her classes. If you are a good/competent writer and are willing to do the assigned reading (even if you just skim) you will do well in this class. I think everyone should take this course.

Loved her!

best history course I've taken as a history major! Lectures are detailed, information dense but everything is useful towards midterms & final. 2 midterm papers and the final was another 2 papers. She gives you enough time to complete them and she is really understanding if you come to her with a concern/issue. Going to lecture is KEY to passing.

She is the best history professor at UCSB in my experience. Her lectures are easy to follow and she explains everything with such great detail. I used to think history was boring until I took her course.
