BOULEY B A
The professor gives good lectures. The grade is determined by the ta.
As someone who doesn't like history I found his lectures to be very engaging. The midterm is free response questions, where you get a page of notes. The final is a 5-7 page paper. Section is mandatory and you are expected to do a lot of reading some weeks, but it is definitely manageable. Only homework is 6 essay responses to the weekly readings.
He is a very good lecturer and makes the content fun to learn! This class was very easy as long as you do the reading and pay attention in lecture.
You could do well if you are passionate about history, otherwise you'll find the lectures and readings very boring. There are readings every week paired with a 300 word written response, a midterm exam, and a final paper, and they were all graded pretty harshly by my TA. Overall, the experience largely depends on your TA.
Super passionate and engaging. I'm not a history person, but I loved his lectures. The assigned readings are fairly easy to understand and pretty interesting. The lecture slides have ver y little information on them, so don't skip class :)
Professor Bouley is a great professor! I loved his lectures, they were very engaging and entertaining, there are weekly writing assignments but only 6 are required. The midterm is defining some terms and an essay and the final is a paper. I highly recommend this class as the content was interesting as well.
Professory Bouley is AMAZING. Very captivating lectures, and truly made class very entertaining. Grading Criteria is quite clear. If you want an A, you have to attend lecture, as slides are minimal, but attending lecture is so so worth it. Brad is such a G.
Professor Bouley is an awesome lecturer, extremely funny and engaging. You're graded on section participation, weekly response papers (6 mandatory but can retake to keep highest score), an in-class midterm, and a final paper. Grading can vary based on section, but overall pretty light. He wants you to succeed and is extremely accessible.
Prof Bouley is the best lecturer I've ever had, he makes it so fun and he didn't give an in person final. It was just the midterm and an essay + weekly reading responses but you only have to do 6 of them. He clearly cares about History and his students. He is extremely clear when lecturing always checking that people understand. LOVE PROF BOULEY!
Great teacher, lectures are very engaging and interesting- the only thing is that he talks pretty fast and doesn't put information on his slides. If you are a good notetaker, you will do great in this class. Highly recommend.
I took Professor Bouley's History 106R NOT 106B but he's such an amazing professor that everyone should take a class with him. He is one of those people that was born to be a teacher. He is so knowledgeable and makes you WANT to go to lecture. He's very accessible outside of class and gives super detailed and constructive feedback. He's the best.
Great professor, made me minor in History. Loved this class, very entertaining lectures. Readings could also be fairly interesting, and overall the class is easy if you like history. Highly recommend.
