HIST4C . 1 Year, 4 Months Ago

Dense lectures and a ton of reading. Difficult course, but interesting (if history is your thing). Lectures are a bit dry though.

Prof Covo is amazing! His lectures are easy to follow and slides are very clear (he also posts the slides so it's accessible outside of class) Attendance to section is mandatory but not lecture. Midterm is online and he gives two online quizzes that are very manageable! Would 100% take him again if I have the chance and great for a GE.

Most boring and non engaging professor I've had with awful slides. The amount of content covered in 4c is ridiculous, and students are expected to know the context behind tons of historical content while citing over 40 primary sources for the final which is closed book.

HIST4C . 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

The final was absolutely confusing, there was no study guide and we had to write two papers while citing sources. It was on topics from week 3-9, and he expected us to have sources relating to multiple parts of each week.

he talks very fast you might as well not even go to lecture he will move to the next slide before you can even type one bullet point

Great professor who clearly knows a lot and is passionate about his work. I took two of his classes - one was the French Revolution and the other a research seminar - and learned a lot in both. Classes are clearly laid out and tests were graded fairly. Really nice guy who strives to help you succeed.
