This class was about Economic European history. The subject wasn't that great but he got a good point across. He repeats stuff so he can get it in your head. The midterm was ok, it was multiple choice true/false, and the final was ok but took a while to do. The final was exaclty like the StudyGuide he gave us, even though thats cool, you still have to remember a lot of the stuff he taught. Very cool professor, he seems like he gets irritated with questions, but in reality he encourages it. So a pretty good professor. Worth taking, also the he looks at attendance when grading, so its important to attend class.

Winter 2024 - Coming into Dr. Ghervas' class, I felt that I was quite knowledgeable regarding the content of the course and that it would be more of a refresher than an actual learning experience. Dr. Ghervas' unique approach to teaching Early Modern History showed me that there was so much more to both the time period than the baseline understanding of it that I had previously cultivated. She is as knowledgeable regarding what she is teaching as she is committed to the learning of her students. I never felt like there was a question that couldn't be asked, or an opinion that couldn't be expressed as Dr. Ghervas welcomes all forms of discourse and discussion. The assignments (1 midterm & a final paper) were very reasonably sized and graded fairly, if you apply yourself in this class you will do well. I strongly recommend taking HIST 132 with her even if you aren’t a history major due to the raw amount of knowledge you will be exposed to during your time in her class.
