DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS AS A GE ESPECIALLY WITH JOVANOVIC.
This quarter was asynchronous but with mandatory discussions. The content and workload itself is fine if you look at it as a serious history class. The workload I would even say is on the lighter side. But this is by no means treated like a GE. The grading is strangely hard. Participation is not just credit—you get graded for how well your contributions were. I participated in every single discussion to the best of my ability and received 88% participation for the quarter. And there were three essays and one "visual essay" project. The average score on all assignments was around a high B.

Also, you don't just get little guidance on assignments. You get straight-up conflicting instructions between what is posted on Canvas, what the professor says, and what the TA says. A headache. Our TAs were at least nice people who were passionate and encouraging about the subject. Just the grading and assignments were a mess and harshly graded for a GE (it's really not a GE in case I haven't drilled that).

If you're doing this as a GE, PLEASE, look at a different class. Don't make my mistake.
