I thought this class was pretty easy overall, especially if you've taken US history in high school. Lectures are important, but if slides are accessible online go for that because she mainly reads off slides and elaborates on the details. Tests were free responses with a detailed rubric.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2757185","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:56:26.712083+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM2NDI3OTY3","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2757185","instructor_name":"Allison Useche","course_label":"HISTORY102","course_id":"HISTORY 102","course_uid":"course_157e80becbd9124258387622","review_date":"2022-06-01 02:19:44 +0000 UTC","comment":"Took Hist 151 for my ethnic studies and was blown away.
