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.

Professor Perrone is amazing! Such an engaging lecturer and even tho attendance isn't mandatory I suggest going anyways. Always opinionated and passionate about what she teaches. Grading is based on 3 op-eds of your choice + section grade. LOTS of readings every week, but they are pretty much optional (though sometimes discussed during section).

Amazing lectures and really interesting content. Attendance optional but I would suggest going because the lectures are just that good. Graded off of 3 papers and optional rewrite to replace lowest score. Sections based off readings that week and had very engaging discussions. Definitely will take another class of Perrone's again.

Professor Perrone was funny in class. She talks about current issues around the world and its history. Lectures are not mandatory, but the section is. The section is 25% of grade and 3 op-eds are also worth 25% each. The final is optional where you rewrite your lowest essay.

If you get a good TA, this class with be easy and fun. My TA was annoying and was not helpful, but I was still able to get an A. The professor is great though, she is good at lecturing and lectures are easy to pay attention to. I always did the reading right before the section, so never put in that much work besides the essays. Would recommend fs.
