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.

Prof. Edgar is nice and gives fantastic lectures with pinpoints clearly listed in the powerpoint. Attending every class is not so important but you must read. Textbooks are not important. Tests are somehow difficult and need a lot of writing.

She is such a nice lady with a passion for history. Class is midterm/final/ 1 paper/ section. If you read this class is a breeze. She really does want everyone to succeed. Lectures are boring but it really isn't her fault, the class is just boring in general. Section is mandatory so show up and participate and you get a free 20% of your grade!

Prof is actually very nice if you reach out to her. Lectures can be boring (it IS history), but if you pay attention NO textbook reading is necessary (i.e. don't buy it, just go to class). Grade is based on 1 MT, 1 Paper, 1 Final. Exams are all written. Participate the bare minimum in section discussion and your TA will like you. Would take again!

Professor Edgar is an amazing teacher. She truly cares about you as a student and a person. However, lectures can be kinda boring but if you stay on top of readings it's easy to follow. Grade is 1 paper, 1 midterm, Section and a final. Test extremlyyyy easy just READ the textbook and the course reader. She wants to see you pass!!

Dr. Edgar was an amazing professor. There is a lot of information in lecture, but she has a stress-free manner about her, which made it easy to forget you were in lecture. Also, She is probably one of the sweetest human-beings I've ever met! The tests weren't too difficult, and there is 1 paper. Julie Johnson was an amazing TA, and section was fun.

Dr. Edgar was honestly a very sweet and nice woman. It's just that she's not very good at giving engaging presentations/lectures, doesn't really go in-depth, and can be a bit boring/mediocre. Grade 1 MT, 1 Final, 1 Paper, and Section. Her lectures would be a lot more interesting if she incorporated videos/different media forms.
