Fall 2020 - For Fall 2020, because of the COVID pandemic, Dr Roy utilized a "non-differentiated" grading format AKA all students received an A. I found this to be incredibly generous and flexible of her! For the class itself, it's VERY heavy with readings. Be very mindful of that! Assignments were 3 short papers (500 words) and the final was essay-format of answering prompts. Dr Roy is very knowledge, friendly, and personable. I would recommend this class if you're interested in planning history but to be very mindful of how heavy workload this course is. You've been warned!
