She rants a lot at times, 3 papers total but there are multiple prompt choices. She cares a lot about her research so expect a few shameless plugs. Lectures can be about 3 hours per week at most, textbook expect multiple chapters a week. Section is just discussing text.

Prof Rappaport is super kind and loves the material! Gives extra credit and just wants you to do well.

Hist. 4C was a straight forward history course. 2 essays and a final. Offers extra credit. Read the novels and you will be totally fine for the exams and section.

This class was a lot of work, consisting of two papers, two outside books, weekly textbook readings, and section assignments. The lectures were boring and quite repetitive of the textbook. There are very few things in the grade which makes it tougher.

The class itself is not that difficult. There is a lot of dense reading involved. The only thing you will be graded on are two papers, a final, and section attendance. I felt like lectures were pretty pointless because they were based off the reading. Her lectures were not that clear and I felt like she would ramble on a lot.

Rappaport makes you really work. The material is easy, but she makes you read 2 books that are not that great and boring af. Depending on your TA it'll be hard to really gage, but I had Elizabeth Schmidt is she's the worst TA ever. This is supposed to be an easy GE, but she grades VERY VERY HARD and expects a lot. Do not get her as a TA!

A really lovely professor. She made the class and her assignments very interesting. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Great Prof! Easy A

All her lectures are on powerpoint so attending class is not 100% mandatory. Sessions are important, only 2 essays which are based on readings and a book. Final was the only difficult part.

Easy class with really interesting subjects... but lectures got pretty boring. 2 900-word papers and a final. She gives a study guide out before the final, and lets you bring an 8x11 to the exam, so as long as you do the study guide you're golden. In the end, your TA does the grading, so definitely go to office hours!!

Hated the class, extremely boring lectures, i fell asleep in them. Her voice is whiny. Class theme was interesting but she found a way to make it boring, essays were somewhat easy, final was easier than i thought. Hardly went to lecture always attended discussion, easy final, passed the class. Boring teacher though.

I felt this class was really boring. The subjects were great but I hated lecture. I always felt talked down to. there are definitely better history teachers. stick to 2C if you have the choice.

her voice is annoying. she rants on pointlessly. grade consists of two papers and a final. kind of hard to write because ta was useless and didnt tell us exactly what he was looking for in a paper, topics were vague and open ended. try to take with diff prof if you have to take this class

Rappaport is a sweet lady. She gives you the midterm and final questions beforehand, AND allows you to bring in an 8 by 11 study sheet both sides... so just use really tiny font and put all the info you need. I missed a lot of lectures and still got an A. And she has a good sense of humor!

Her squeaky voice is a bit annoying, and she exaggerates and uses hyperbole to describe details in her lectures. It makes her sound a bit out of touch. I wouldn't avoid because in the end its your TA grading, but there's better historys profs out there

Easy A. Midterm, term paper, final. There's three outside books, but I didn't read two of them and I still pulled a B+ on the paper. Don't need to go to lecture, but if you do, you can see she's passionate. An easy class.

Really easy take home final/midterm and paper. Readings and lectures are both very interesting.

Lectures outline textbook material she wants you to focus on. You can skip lectures, but if you go to lectures, you don't need to read the text--just the primary sources and other books. There's a take home midterm, term paper, and final (you get the questions prior to the final and a sheet of notes for the final. Easiest history class ever.

This has got to be one of the worst professors in our History department! All she does is try to tell you how women were oppressed while everyone and their mother drank tea in Europe (I'm a girl too and I did not like her feminist rantings). Very easy though, I never went to class and got an A+...

Her lectures were boring but the readings she chose were great. Her tests were easy and she cares for her students.

My god, this woman goes on the most unimportant tangents, and she can yak about it for quite some time. The class itself wasn't too difficult, but I would highly recommend another teacher. She got on my nerves.

Whack...she's like this: blah blah blah...my focus is London/Britain...blah blah blah...i like to drink TEA..blah blah blah...i agree with the last post on her london bit...get a good TA, which makes the class worth it...barely went to class and got a B
