Her lectures are phenomenal & very informative. If she is not as knowledgeable, she brings in a guest professor who is an expert on the topic. Although you can tell her political bias, she is very good at giving the facts, not opinions. Class is easy. 3 op-ed's & sections are the grades. The final is an optional op-ed rewrite for a higher grade.

Lectures had absolutely nothing to do with what was graded. I went to literally 1 lecture the entire quarter. She lectures and u pick what u write about. Gives out extensions for papers no matter what. Section attendance mandatory. Essays are graded kinda hard but not really. Final is optional. Such a light class! Recommend

The course was very easy with only three Op-Ed papers and an optional rewrite as the “final.” Perrone is super knowledgeable throughout her lectures. We had many guest speakers, as well. Attendance was not mandatory to do well. There is a bit of reading, but just skimming through the articles before section should suffice.

I highly recommend taking History 5 with Prof. Perrone! She's a fantastic lecturer and clearly explained difficult topics, including: The Electoral College, History of Third Parties, Abortion, and the War in Ukraine. She also brought in guest speakers which was super cool. Homework is online readings. No final. Just write write 3 short op-eds.

Great class to take over the summer. Only graded on one paper (4-6 pages), weekly forum posts, section participation, and the final. Really engaging lectures for an online class.

I took the online summer session for this course and was amazed at how engaging the lectures were despite being recorded! I can imagine her in person classes are even better.

I will take any class she teaches. She is probably the best lecturer I have had, and her perspective as a legal historian is very interesting. However, every class she teaches is only essays, so you do have to learn how to write for her/her TAs' grading style. You should go to the lectures to write relevant and informed essays.

Great class, she was a super engaging professor. Lectures were very fun and interesting, she loves when you ask questions. Only graded on 4 papers the entire quarter, so if you like writing then it's an easy class. I sadly am not the best writer, so it was a bit of a struggle but I did find the topics super interesting.

Such an easy class. No midterm or final. Your grade is made up of 3 papers and section participation. You do not have to attend lectures but some of them were interesting and provided good ideas for what to write about in your papers.

She is such a great professor, I learned so much from her lectures. By week 9 the lecture hall was almost empty. The grade is 3 papers and section participation. The lecture was there to give inspiration for papers and section discussion so if you know enough about the topics, lecture is optional. A lot of weekly reading articles though.

Such a great class! Lecture attendance optional, but section attendance is mandatory. Would recommend and wish I could take again :)

Prof Perrone is extremely kind and reasonable. Your grade consists of 3 Op-Ed papers. They have no prompt which can be difficult, but there is an optional rewrite in place of a final. Lots of reading, but not required to do well in the course. Great class if you have background History knowledge and are good at writing.
