Professor Grant is one of the best history professors you could find here in UW Madison. He is so nice and very knowledgeable about the topics he is teaching. He teaches the course very well and care for every student.Rate My Professors ↗
Great professor who is really funny and clearly cares a lot about each individual student. His passion and kindness show in every lecture, and he pushes you in research to dig deeper and think critically. Coursework is very easy throughout the entire semester, which makes the class enjoyable and low stress.Rate My Professors ↗
Took this class for my Comm B requirement. Professor is very knowledgable and talks plenty in lectures. My whole class was centered around a research paper and I felt like most information in lectures was not really helpful or important for my paper. Boring for me but also could be bc I'm not a history major, fine if it's just for credit.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Grant is a fun person and has a lot of fun stories, but his teaching was oftentimes hard to follow. The course itself was an easy A as all you need to do is read A LOT and do weekly Inquisitives and a few very small papers. It is a super easy class but I would only recommend it for people who just need credit and aren't interested in histRate My Professors ↗
Profesor soooo awesum!! He teach a lot very good and he is smaratRate My Professors ↗
Great professor and an interesting class, as you get to choose what to discuss. The only downside is the mandatory one-on-one chat with him, which doesn't feel entirely necessary. Overall, it's an enjoyable and unique lecture experience where you really get out of the class what you put into it.Rate My Professors ↗
