Fall 2023 - The overall class itself was not bad and the lectures were reasonable and decent. The professor also explained well enough for us to understand and the materials for us to read as well as the assignments given once a week were also doable and not too difficult. The only thing that I disliked during this class was the midterms. The reason was that our grades were deducted here and there and they either gave us vague reasons without proper explanation for the deduction or provided no reasons at all. As over half of the total grades relied on the midterms and final exams, it would be appreciated if the professor provided proper reasons for point deductions. However, overall, the class experience was okay.

Fall 2024 - I really like Professor Pike, the content is simplified and is easy to understand the material. However, I would highly suggest studying on exams as some questions may not be as easy to understand in terms of wording, particularly understand all the reasons or motivations that lead to a particular Cold War event. Even for a multiple choice, it was slightly difficult for me to understand what he was trying to ask but he does curve and he does provide extra credit on some questions if you answer correctly. For the paper, make sure to follow all of the directions when asked or you will be deducted. The content is highly interesting so I would recommend.
