history 136a. great professor, very nice..but grading is unfair. after 10 weeks of brit history i earned a b, i rec my first grade in her class the day of the final, after 10 weeks. two in class writing assignments w/o feedback, then she dings you on your one graded essay paper. How can a student improve their grade if they never receive a grade until the final exam, when she returned the paper. I was quite dissappointed.

Fall 2023 - Really enjoyed Professor McClendon's course. Very informative and nice. She knowns what she's talking about. I would say, though, I wish her lecture slides were a bit more organized and she gave an outline at the beginning of the lecture to make it easier to follow. Other than that, an overall good class I highly recommend taking.

Fall 2024 - This class is so great! We went to YRL Special collections to find primary sources -- and wrote essays on passages from those sources. You have pretty much complete control over what you'd like to research (as long as it's in the required time period) and Prof McClendon is very helpful with her comments. The seminar classes in special collections were so interesting, although some weeks were a little boring -- the class focuses more on the process of research and writing than the time period, that's up to you to study in your own time for your paper. If this is the type of capstone you're looking for, I'd highly recommend it.
