The best part of this course was the professor, who was very organized and gave a fresh perspective on colonial history. Students enjoyed asking questions in the discussion sections and appreciated the flexible assignment schedule, which made it easy to balance the work with other classes. The negative aspects were that sometimes readings were overwhelming, and the course rushed through information quickly. Students suggested giving the discussions more structure to make them more productive. Students should know that the course is discussion-based, so it requires a lot of reading and critical thinking. The course has a manageable workload and is interesting overall.
