“Considering taking hist 102 next term but have zero idea about it. How is the mark breakdown and workload? And how is Lynne Taylor? Is she a tough marker? Or any other hist courses recommended? …”
u/RequiemFear: “… Her French Revolution course is also really good (HIST227).”
Good Electives for Winter 2020? 2 points, 6 comments
“So I'm returning to school in the Winter and don't have any core courses then. I'm looking for some good electives to take, around easy or medium difficulty. I've taken Geog 101 and Engl 109 already.”
u/ohno_IforgottheplusC: “TAKE HIST 227 W ME - THE FRENCH REVOLUTION AND NAPOLEONIC EUROPE LETS GO LES GARS BLEU VIVE L'EMPEREUR!!!!”
Good humanities courses? 2 points, 9 comments
“Hey, I didn't get my CLAS104 course so I'm in dire need of another humanities of social studies course. I'm in my first year, any suggestions???”
u/RequiemFear: “… HIST227 French Revolution is running next semester, and it's Lynne Taylor's last semester before retiring. Any course taught by Gary Bruce is great, he does German history and a holocaust course, but he's currently on sabbatical and back next year. …”

What is a good HIST course to take based on how interesting it is, its evaluations, and workload. 7 points, 14 comments
“So far, I am interested in HIST 262. Any comments on that course?”
u/whatupplatypup: “HIST 227 French Revolution and Napoleonic Europe Admittedly that's the only HIST course I've taken, but the prof was excellent, the workload was very reasonable, and it was evaluated based off three assignments and an exam. I would definitely recommend it.”
