Fall 2024 - I really liked the subject matter that was taught and thought the class was very well structured and engaging but the midterm was literally evil. It wasn't necessarily hard but vague, the matching definitions section was a good chunk of points and the definitions or phrases used to describe the terms were very vague and could have been applied to more than one term. Also the professor once asked a question about the Cold War timeline and when she asked when it ended, and I answered, she said that the Cold War was still going on? I honestly felt a bit set up with that question also the Cold War did end so.
