The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but students repeatedly say it requires steady reading, weekly writing, note-taking, and strong essays.
Online evidence is much harsher about the A cost, while in-person evidence suggests effort is rewarded more fairly.
Is the course easy?
The history content is understandable when students attend and take notes, but the reading, essays, and tests keep it from feeling easy.
Online reviews describe the course as tougher and more stressful, while in-person reviews more often call it manageable.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is not always described as strictly mandatory, but several students say lectures and notes are important for doing well.
Online evidence focuses on pacing and weekly work, while in-person evidence stresses lecture attendance and note-taking.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend her for passion, help, and feedback, but the demanding workload and harsh grading create real hesitation.
Online reviewers largely advise caution, while in-person reviewers are much more likely to recommend her.
