Review:
I took this course last spring and overall it was a good course if you like history. Professor Marcopoulos is very approachable, his lectures are pretty interesting and the readings are good overall. The TA I had was very helpful and the section meeting (required) though a bit boring at times, was really useful in the end.

Workload:
In the section of the course I took we had 10 2-3 page weekly essays and 10 journal entries. You could do twelve of each to get extra credit. I thought the essays might be too much at first, but they proved really helpful in studying for the exams. Three exams: an intro exam, a midterm and final. The reading is moderate but well related to what he talks about in lecture. A good grade is certainly possible, but you have to do some work to get it.
