Dr. Corey's lectures are very funny, and I really enjoyed her class. The downside of her class though was that she is not very approachable, and is kind mean to her students. Office hours are basically mandatory for the class, and she focuses a lot on the students that attend. The only assignments are a paper midterm, an autobiography (which is not graded), and for the final it is a paper on the readings and a book report. I do recommend reading the material she provides because it does help once the midterm and final come along but it is a lot.

I never write reviews on this darn site but given the misconceptions peddled around Professor Corey on here I figured I'd try and provide a counter balance. There is a midterm essay and a final essay, as with most of her classes, in which you have ample choice of prompt and are straightforward. Going to office hours even if just near the date of the essay due dates will reveal almost line by line the thesis she is looking for any prompt that you ask about. She will also personally grade your paper if you attend her office hours even once. The course material is far more engaging and novel than anything you will find in other history courses and she has a rich history herself, which she uses to inform her lectures. She is the most articulate professor I've ever had and expects nothing other than your interest and willingness to listen. Very low stress course as is revealed by the grade distributions.

Professor Corey is a bit silly and doesn't know what shes doing with technology. A lot of reading and writing papers. I would not suggest this class.
