simply the best professor on earth.

This class made me switch to a history major! Loved how clear the grading was. There is a weekly paper but it was short and didn't take much time and lowest two grades dropped. Tests were easy as study guide was given. The real reason I loved this class though was the way Bouley lectured, as he made lectures both funny and engaging.

One of the final prompts was to compare the roles of men and women in the Renaissance. However, few of the readings addressed women in the Renaissance beyond their roles within the family. This made the paper a challenge to write. The history department needs a serious rework, it is full of outdated and misogynistic ideas.

I took INT187AI and loved it. Easy 2 units class, and is actually interesting. You have to show up minimum of 6/10 time to pass (only pass/no pass class). It was taught by 2 professors and they were both super nice and chill. 100% would take it again. Little homework too.

I like him he is funny. And the class is not hard and very clear and interesting. 5 stars! I am a history major now.

Professor Bouley lectures are entertaining, and very well detailed! He is always making sure that everyone in lecture understand and asking questions. I did not skip or miss any lectures which I can defintely say is the reason for my A in the class. If you're thinking about taking the class, do it!

Took history-9. Very well structure course, clear directions on every assignment. Amazing lecturer, and is funny and approachable. Helpful in-class and is very accessible via email or office hours

Bouley is clearly passionate about the material and does his best to make lectures interesting. Go in w/ reasonable expectations bc RMP had me thinking lectures would be absolutely captivating. Not always - it's still class. He's extremely accessible during Office Hours. Rlly sweet guy. TA was a harsh grader but made section fun.

The readings were long but some of them were really interesting, and the fact that you only have to do six of them allows you to pick and choose in advance. Best history lecturer I've ever had, I'd literally spend the lecture before his thinking "I've just got to get through this and then I've got bouley". My section wasn't great but YMMV

Lectures are pretty interesting but you HAVE to go. Attendance only taken in section, but he lectures with few words on the slides so if you're gone you'll be lost. Super funny guy though. TAs vary but most are good. You read maybe

The best professor I've ever had. He'll make you love topics you thought would be extremely boring. Amazing lecturer, extremely engaging and funny. There's a good amount of reading but he tries to use primary sources that are intriguing and narrative. Genuinely cares about his students and what he teaches. Very approachable.

Closest you can get to Harvard at UCSB.
