HIST123C . 5 Months Ago

She is awesome, very friendly, and knows what she's talking about. have had her for multiple classes and she is super helpful and smart. learned a lot in this class and she has a lot of firsthand experiences to supplement her knowledge of the subjects she teaches, especially in Soviet history. Lecture and readings v interesting, she is the best!

HIST123C . 5 Months Ago

Prof Edgar is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the material. But, the lectures are often disorganized and hard to follow, and you're expected to memorize a lot for the in person midterm and final, even if it was barely covered or not covered at all in class. Not the worst professor, but definitely frustrating and not very helpful

HIST123C . 5 Months Ago

Passionate about 20th cent Euro History, and she lived through a lot of what she taught which was a cool perspective. Graded on in-class midterm and final (no cheat sheet) with ID passages from readings and essays, and 1 take-home paper. Lots of readings, but if you go to class and take good notes you can get by with skimming them. Loved this class

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

HIST4C . 3 Years Ago

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
