The class was structured as 10 journal posts and then a 8-10 page final paper. Overall, easy grader and would recommend.

Professor Aronova is so cool! I went to her office hours a ton and she was always so nice and welcoming. Her class was so interesting I would absolutely recommend. She's one of the best history profs I've ever had! Her prompts are vague but I really liked that it gave us the freedom to explore the topic however we wanted.

I overall really enjoyed Aronova's class content & format. Her lectures were boring but attendance isn't necessary. She's also very kind and approachable. I agree with others that her prompts are open-ended and at times confusing, but you also get a lot of creative freedom over what you research & write about so I think it's worth it.

Thick Russian accent with little text on ppt slides makes it hard to understand. She gives little to no guidelines for assignments and very little feedback on work. Grades on weekly reading response, midterm paper, presentation, final paper

This was my first history class and I liked it! The material was genuinely interesting and organized. Her accent sometimes had me second-guessing a word or two but it wasn't bad. It's really important not to miss sections because it provides A LOT of insight into the material. The study guides were incredibly helpful for the midterms and exams.

Class itself is easy if you do the reading (not that hard) and go to lecture, the content was really interesting. Sometimes her accent can be heavy but I never had any trouble understanding her. The midterm was super easy and a copy of the study guides she posts. She was super lenient with the strike, and she genuinely cares about her students.
