142F was a new class and extremely disorganized. Wittman did not post the readings on time and was behind in the course materials. He was vague and unclear about what would be on the exams.
Professor Wittman gives entertaining lectures and clearly is very passionate about his subject. Very understanding professor with minimal homework so the class is relatively easy if you show up for lecture
soooo boring. the lectures are extremely heavy and they are mandatory. if you miss one lecture you miss like an entire unit because he doesn't post his slides. there's also papers on top of midterm and finals. DO NOT TAKE THIS GE
Prof. Wittman is a great speaker but his lectures are clunky. He's knowledgeable and passionate, but the course isn't structured very well. You will be memorizing A LOT of material for few exams. Memorize what he says and you'll be fine. Exams aren't curved much and he doesn't bump grades. I would avoid this class if you want an easy A.
It is so important to take notes for this class. I really enjoyed this class and I found Professor Wittman to be interesting and engaging!! I would recommend getting notion or another app where you can insert pictures with your notes. Attend all lectures and use Quizlet to memorize dates, locations and sites. It is very hard for a G.E. though...
