HISTORY 201
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Spare yourself and avoid his classes. He is a tough grader and doesn't actually lecture. He just assigns hundreds of pages of reading per class. The class was just a seminar graded on participation. He also doesn't use rubrics, so be prepared to have zero clue what the assignment is supposed to be.
