She's smart and knows her stuff well, but lots of reading is involved. She'll make you analyze those documents as you were an historian, and that's why I find it hard. 3 exams to take, no multiple choice questions all writing which sucks. She's very nice though, if you need help she'll make herself available at anytime. Hope this helps.

Would take again

Would highly recommend -- I Took as SLS 241. Each week there is 1 quiz and 1 discussion post that you have to write and reply to 2, just follow the rubric. Quizzes are MC and you get to see wrong answers and take again. The final week there is one assignment where you answer 4 questions and also the final which is all MC. Definitely take Prof Tesho
