Fall 2025 - Dr.Kurtez is a very sweet professor and I would highly recommend taking a class with her. However be mindful that the workload can be very heavy. She likes to give out group projects, fortunately back in 25 fall quarter, my teammates were amazing. But I've heard stories where people were struggling because they had teammates who are hard to work with. (Teams are ramdomly assigned btw). No midterms/finals but you need to work on a group project and a bunch of small cumulative assignments. Be mindful as the quarter goes on, the amount of work/writing need to be done can get overwelming. Especially if your teammates won't do the work. But I had some really wonderful team members and Professor Wendy herself is really good. The TA was kind too. Do NOT procrastinate in this class. ALL Assignments are related to each other so it's really hard to catch up in the end.

Winter 2024 - Dr. Kurtz has some of the most professional lectures I have ever experienced. Every single one is so cohesive and feels very natural even if some of the subject matter is not as engaging. I can tell she has a passion for history. She also spent so much time supporting my group's project outside of class time to ensure we were able to meet our goals. Definitely goes above and beyond as a professor, especially after learning that she has a young child and lives so far away from campus. Superhero of an instructor.
