Lectures were completely useless and boring. Made me sleepy every time. Grade depends on papers and participation in section.

The course material is too elementary for a college level history class. You will have studied and learned all of the history taught in the class in past middle school and high school classes and this course doesn't offer more insight than the surface level stuff you already know. Just participate in section and you will do fine.

worst professor I've had: unclear, non-understanding, and closed minded

Fairly easy class for a GE. There is one 8 page paper, the prompt barely gives you enough to talk about to reach the word count, but it's doable. The prof is very passionate and lectures are interesting, however the TA was very unhelpful and created a terrible environment in section. Do not expect helpful comments on papers.

She cares a lot about what she teaches. Out of all the GE's I've taken, this one taught me a lot about the world and important social issues. I was never a big history person before college, but this class really surprised me and it is largely due to Professor Edgar. Very fair assignments, all concept based, no memorization.

Prof Edgar is so cute, and she just loves Russia. The class is easy if you go to lecture. There is one longer paper, a midterm, and a final, and that's it. The midterm and final are heavy on primary sources.
