Fall 2025 - This class was hot dookie. If you're a solid BS'er like me, it should be fairly easy to get by, but don't get it twisted: this was an awful, disorganized class that taught me next to nothing. Every week, we'd be given two or so readings, which we'd barely cover, if at all, in lecture. In lecture, Professor Delisle just kind of yaps about whatever she feels like that day. She'll often go on tangents that are completely unrelated to the readings and the tests that we take. The quizzes are a mix of the easiest, most surface-level material covered in readings and lectures, and the most niche pieces of information that she'll write once illegibly on a chalkboard. The majority of the class tunes out during lecture or doesn't attend it because they know it is largely a waste of time, aside from the classes before quizzes, where she tells you what to study. Do not take this class with Delisle. She manages to present such a vibrant and interesting history in the most boring, unclear, and unengaging fashion imaginable. She is often rude and accusatory, accusing my classmates and me of cheating, because we got together and studied. I firmly believe that if you are a diligent enough student, you can excel in this class fairly easily, but no class is worth the mental anguish of this disorderly mess.
