HIST . Rappaport E D 5 Months Ago

For HIST193P. What an amazing and caring professor. 10/10 would take a class with her again. Course material was really interested. Class was graded on weekly reading question, in person midterm, group project, and final take home project. She respects her student's opinions and feedback, really wants to see students succeed in class. semi-easy A.

took this class for my PISJ minor, very easy!!! There are some basic world history aspects to it that make it boring sometimes, but most lectures were very interesting! So many opportunities for extra credit and exams were take-home. Dr. Rappaport is such a sweetheart, she wants everyone to have fun with learning. 10/10 class and professor.

Overall, if you put in some effort into the class, then you'll pass with an A. There were a lot of readings, but if you reach out to her, she'll work with you to find a middle ground. Graded by participation in discussion posts, midterm paper, project (could do it in a group), and final.

Great professor. She provides a variety of opportunities for extra credit. She is there to lecture, not to make the class content or assignments difficult. She is very great about emailing back and fairly fast. There are a lot of assigned readings but they're all free I believe and they are all very relevant to the content of the course.

Her lectures were really great, but to be honest I hated the majority of the readings. Felt like there was little space between papers. Tons of extra credit opportunities, which was a major plus.

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.

Rappaport is easily in my top 3 best professors I have had at UCSB. and I have been here for 5 years. She cares about her students and is very understanding. Her class is not tough and she makes it very interesting to learn about British history. She is super awesome and is willing to work with her students in a positive way. Take her class!!

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!
