  • I wish I liked this course since it is a topic I'm interested in but the professor's style of teaching was more so asking questions about what we think happened instead of telling us what actually happened. I understand there are different theories and interpretations for some events but it was not useful. The assignments were straightforward and not incredibly difficult though.

  • I regret taking this course as an elective. This is my first time trying out a history/arts course, and I underestimates the effort one shall put into writing the assignments. Learning history by watching documentaries is totally different than studying in a library and searching for bibliographies.
