“This class was very instructive for me, as I had only taken one other U.S. history class. The main text is detailed and comprehensive, the in-class lectures are engaging and excellent as always, and the assignments are difficult without being frustrating or pointless. There is no busy work in this teacher’s classes, especially at the college level. Even if you are not as familiar with U.S. history as most American kids, you can still conquer this class with hard work and genuine interest. You must be able to read and comprehend college-level texts. You’ll also be writing several academic research papers, which are the class’s highlight for many students because you can choose your own topic. I’ve never regretted taking a class with this teacher, even though modern history is not my favored period.”
