Winter 2017 - This is a review for hist 101- history of transportation. Professor Cahn is very entertaining, often not on purpose which makes it even better. His lectures can be all over the place and the overall course trajectory and expectations are not clearly laid out BUT just hang in there and enjoy his lectures. His one goal that determines your grade is wether or not you show critical thinking capabilities. If you show any sort of coherent independent ideas you will get an easy A

Professor DuBois wants you to do well in her class... She practically gives you the information you need to excel!! Although the material depth and breadth was amazing for such a short period of time, I learned a lot... There was a midterm that she gave us all the IDs for before the test (she gave us something like 30 terms, and then gave us something like 10 options on the test, and all 10 were from the study guide), an article critique, a group presentation, and a term paper. You can skip class after the midterm and still get an A as long as you know how to write a paper. Overall, the second half of the class has no relevance to the grade, I skipped all of it except for the last couple of days and still got my A...
