I definitely recommend this class for breadth requirements. It is graded by many things, so the tests and papers aren't stressful. The professor is just amazing and puts an effort into learning everyone's names. The TAs are also very flexible and allow helpful extensions in case you need them. Be ready to participate and read.Rate My Professors ↗
Never again. Lots of readings and a discussion post every week. The 5 quizzes + map quiz are quite okay, just go through the slides/your notes. But 35% of your final grade is participation and even if you attend almost all the time, participate, fill out her notecards, you can end up with a participation grade that significantly lowers your score.Rate My Professors ↗
One of my favorite teachers clearly spoke and actually made an effort to know her students and their names. She also tells history like a story which helped me a lot!Rate My Professors ↗
Honestly the Lectures were absolutely amazing. I'm an Engineering major and so I took it for credit, but it was honestly one of the if not best class I've taken in the school. The flow in the lecture is amazing and it was honestly very enjoyable and relaxing. I would say 80-90% of the info is from lectures so don't skip out on it.Rate My Professors ↗
I love Professor Whiting! She's very organized, assigns a manageable amount of reading as homework, and sets up her class so that no one paper or test is make-or-break for your grade. Lectures are easy to understand, and her passion for the subject keeps them interesting.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof Whiting was great, there were 5 quizzes counting for about a quarter of your grade. The quizzes were a bit difficult but if you just read over your notes you will be fine. Be sure to participate, she is really great and caring for sure take her class.Rate My Professors ↗
