interesting lectures, not too much homework

HIST2A . 3 Years Ago

I took this class during Summer of 2021 during Covid so the class was asynchronous. This class has probably 20+ hours of lectures that you have to watch and understand to take the quizzes. The lectures had good content but had poor audio quality. There were 2 papers that need to be very well organized. The course was interesting but time consuming.

HISTW80 . 3 Years Ago

Professor Barbieri's lectures are pre-recorded and very long with poor audio quality. The Gauchospace page is very well-organized and accessible. The exploration assignments were also very interesting and interactive. Quizzes were based on lectures, but some questions were worded confusingly. Grading relied solely on the TA.

HIST2A . 3 Years Ago

Great class, I'm surprised by the amount of bad reviews here. The material is super interesting and easily digestible. Section/lecture go over a huge majority of the readings so you only need to read like 20%, if that. His quizzes are easy given GauchoCast lectures are captioned�� Essay prompts are engaging and the essays are graded fairly.

HIST2A . 3 Years Ago

The lectures were really thorough and extra material was actually helpful and not overkill in terms of reading etc. There were weekly quizzes that weren't very hard which gave a lot of opportunities to get points and help support your grade for the midterm/final. The lectures weren't too long, so it wasn't boring.

HIST2A . 3 Years Ago

Not sure why this class is only worth 4 units, its a ton of work. Grade really depends on how you do on the essays. There are weekly lecture quizzes. Lectures were disappointing because they were classroom recordings from 2 years ago with audio that was all over the place. If youre not a history major probably not the best GE choice.
