The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible through attendance, detailed notes, and exam preparation, but essays and online tests make it far from automatic.
In-person evidence supports a note-based path to an A, while online reviews describe hard tests and harsh grading.
Is the course easy?
The history content is usually manageable, but the course becomes harder when lectures are dry, exams are detailed, or essays are graded strictly.
In-person reviews often call the tests easy with outlines, while online reviews describe the same course as much harder.
Is attendance flexible?
Multiple reviews say attendance matters, and several mention being dropped after missing three classes.
Both online and in-person evidence point to strict attendance, with the strongest repeated detail coming from in-person reviews.
Is this professor recommended?
Students who like structured notes may manage the course, but many warn against the boring lectures, harsh grading, and strict rules.
Online reviews are mostly avoid-level, while in-person reviews are polarized between easy-A praise and strong warnings.
