HIUS 2001

Good class....lots of reading.

This class my favorite class so far at UVA. Kett is hysterical and has great lectures and a great lecture voice. Take notes during his lectures as he answers many of his focus questions that appear on the exams during them. My discussion was also valuable and though the reading for it was extensive and somewhat unnecessary the key points were fully discussed during section. I love this class.

This class was worthwhile. It's A LOT of reading, and generally you really need to read if you want to do well in the class.

its a fairly straight forward class. if you read and take the midterms seriously and study for them, its fairly easy to get a B.

This guy knows evreything about everything. Really interesting class if you're interested in the Revolution, etc.

Funny lectures, moderate reading, and fairly easy exams. Take lots of notes on lectures and remember the dates during which the readings take place and the class is relatively easy.

Honestly I really enjoyed this class. Unfortunately Kett only taught for about half the semester because he needed to have an operation. However, I really did like the class when he taught it. And I never read the textbook and still got a good grade. I just did the reading for section, sort of.

Awesome class that is an easy grade if you do the work and follow along. Great thing about the class is that you don't have to do a lot of writing and the reading is average for a history course.

Lots of reading but overall a good class. Definitely recommend.

Mr. Kett is hands down one of the best professors I've had. I've always hated history but needed to get my requirement out of the way, and I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Kett enjoys his subject, and although he may diverge in his lectures now and then the material you need for the exams is always present in his lectures. He is an awesome lecturer, never moving too fast. The little details/anecdotes he includes make the class worth going to and surprisingly interesting. Lee Bowden is an amazing TA who compliments Kett perfectly. She will always review his lectures if he was unclear and really contributes to the discussion to ensure students fully understand all the readings, as they appear on the exams. Two midterms and one final, all writing. The exams are not hard if you review his lectures, dont really need to book but definitely the section readings. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Be careful of the TA. The TA controls your grade in this class. I had a bad TA and this class was a horrible experience because of that.
