Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
I thought that the history of Rome would be fun but some how So Yeon found a way to make it extremely unclear and difficult. Over half of the class period is spent popcorn reading in the large lecture primary sources from Rome. The goal of the class is to memorize as many facts as possible and she has a HEAVY accent so you cant understand her.
