Fall 2025 - Prof. Rivera is a really nice guy and seems to care for hist students. The class did not seem to have as much structure as some other history classes and was a bit surface at times. Attendance matters a lot and there are four pop quizzes. Midterm was pretty easy and final was a group video project. Attendance and participation 25% Pop quizzes 25% Midterm 25% Final 25%
