Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Amazing, kind, informed and very present professor! Even if you are only taking this class for a gen ed, take it with her! You will learn so much about important history, connect it to today's role in history, and resources. Not a stressful class whatsoever, and she makes it a very welcoming space. Will help you/answer any questions if you ask!
