This professor really disappointed me. She should focus on her subject matter instead of penalizing students for silly unrelated things such as: “don’t use First Person” or “No contractions” and many other stupid things. This obsession with “proper” writing removes the excitement of what could’ve been a good learning experience. Very hard class.

I was very interested in taking a 20th century American History class and unfortunately she was the only one available online.
