Spring 2025 - Overall an interesting class and good professor. We had to write a few essays but they were pretty easy if you just think of them like an AP World History FRQ/DBQ. There is some memorization required for the final however its mostly just the big topics and as long as you can write on the fly you should be fine. We got to watch a bunch of movies like Oppenheimer too :) Very good option for GE, would highly recommend.
