Quarter: Fall 2025
Grade: A+

Definitely would recommend taking her as she is very sweet and always willing to help. The main points in the class came from the Wikipedia assignment and discussion posts. For the Wikipedia assignment, you find either a person or topic that is not on Wikipedia or one with a very short page. With your group (you got to pick members) you then research and add to it and do a very short (4 minute) presentation at the end of the quarter. I definitely enjoyed doing this and am proud to have contributed to Wikipedia.
For discussion posts, you have to do the readings for the week and then reply to the prompt. It was often a question or two about the reading and then you were asked to form your own question. The TA graded this and she was often very unclear on what she was looking for. This meant getting marked down, but luckily if you met with her on zoom she would allow you to edit it and turn it back in (and you'd likely get full credit). I assume it's a different TA every time she teaches this, so it's not a major issue.
The lectures themselves were interesting and cover a lot of different countries. My only other problem was how much reading was assigned. You only have to do five discussion posts for the quarter, so once you finish that, you honestly don't have to keep up with reading. There are no tests or essays about it, so you can read if you have the time, but if you don't you'll be fine.
