    Quarter Taken: Winter 2022 In-Person
    Grade: A-

    This class was honestly pretty uninteresting and while the lectures were very well prepared and thorough, they just weren't engaging enough for me to be able to pay attention the entire time. The lectures were very stagnant each time, though I'm sure if history is your area of interest then you'll be a lot more engaged than I was. Other than that, the class was fairly simple and didn't require any other assignments other than weekly readings and the papers. I expected the grade I received considering I could have put more effort for sure. Overall, it's a well detailed and simple class with a lectures that could be improved.
