HIST141A . Rappaport E D 5 Months Ago

I love Professor Rappaport! Her class was very knowledgable and informative on the History of 19th Century Britain. She is a great lecturer and also loves to talk so never be afraid to talk to her about anything at her office hours. She will do anything to help and guide you so that you succeed.

HIST141A . Rappaport E D 1 Year, 3 Days Ago

Great professor who is clearly very passionate. Sometimes this leads to her going off topic and rambling in lectures, but generally they are very good. Graded on in-class midterm with cheatsheet, project with lots of options, 5 forum posts, and take-home final. She really cares about her students and is a pretty easy grader if you try.

HIST141A . Rappaport E D 12 Years Ago

Great Professor. Very very helpful and will do all she can to help her students succeed. The writing assignments are relevant and graded very fairly. Lots of reading but hey its a history course!

HIST141A . Rappaport E D 12 Years Ago

She is a fantastic professor! She is very interested in the topic and her enthusiasm is inspiring. There is a lot of writing in this course, but it is all based on the reading and she is a fairly easy grader. I cannot recommend her enough.

HIST4C . Rappaport E D 9 Months Ago

Class is largely two essays (50%) and final (20%). She's pretty chill and there's EC. I hardly went to class but did well thanks to TA. The final is a bit annoying as you have to prep ~10 possible prompts (with quotes as evidence) on your cheat sheet but it's more busywork than hard. IDs on test are not bad at all. Read the books btw.

HIST4C . Rappaport E D 9 Months Ago

Even though Rappaport is very nice, caring, & accommodating, the final exam is absolutely ridiculous for this class especially being that it is a lower-div/GE requirement. The "study guide" given lists sixteen essay prompts from 10+ sources and expects you to be knowledgable on HUNDREDS of topics/sources for the "ID section". Extremely frustrating.
