    Grade: B+

    Overall if you're interested in US history during the 20th century then this class is pretty comprehensive in that. Lectures would have different professors lecturing on different subjects related to the sixties, which kept things fresh for the most part. Just make sure to participate in discussion and read what is assigned

    Quarter Taken: Fall 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A

    Lectures were engaging depending on the topic. Lots of variety in this class: music, politics, movies, literature. Gets you writing 2 and visual performing arts credit. No midterm, only final. I would recommend this class.
