This class was one of the easiest I've taken at UVA but I found it really interesting and not boring. I'd recommend going to class because she distills all the readings for you, and then you don't have to do the readings. The tests were taken straight from the study guide, which was taken straight from the course. So if you go to class and study what is on the study guide - 3 terms, 2 short answer, 1 essay appear on the test - you will definitely be getting a good grade.
Professor Warren is amazing! I love her lectures. They are very thorough and interesting. She goes kinda fast at times so it can be hard to keep up while taking notes. Depending on your TA you may be able to get away with skimping on the readings; mine focused on the primary sources because the others tended to be on subjects we were talking about in class. The two tests and final involve IDs of terms, IDs of quotes, and an essay question. You are given a review sheet ahead of time with everything that will be on the exam plus a little extra (so you don't know which of the terms, etc will be on the exam but you know they will be from the ones on the review sheet). I would definitely recommend taking this class, just make sure you get a good TA.
Professor Warren is genuinely interested in the subject material as well as the success of her students. She is very accommodating for her students. I'm not interested in religion or history, but the class wasn't that bad. Warren provides test reviews for each test so if you do and study those, you're good. Also Nathan was really nice and knew what he was talking about.
This class is retarded, the lectures consist of her speaking with no powerpoint slides for you to keep up with the notes and you're not allowed to have your laptop out to take notes. On top of that Nathan's grading of exams is fucking rediculous. If you're looking for an easy humanity DO NOT TAKE THIS.
The class seems like it should be relatively easy because professor Warren gives you a review sheet with everything you need to know about each test on it, however Nauman graded the tests ridiculously hard and makes the class way more difficult than it should be. However if you are able to get a TA that isnt extremely picky on the tests, then the class is actually very interesting.
This was one of my favorite classes. Prof. Warren is an amazing lecturer and she really knows the subject well. Every class is a pretty intense 50 minutes; you are basically scribbling notes nonstop. Normally I'd end up with a good three to four pages of notes. But it is totally worth it since there is really not that much work outside of class. Just don't expect her to put up notes on powerpoints or anything, you really have to pay attention. The material was interesting and eye-opening.
She basically gives out all the possible test questions on a study guide. It's graded harshly, but if you study beforehand it is no problem. And I would recommend writing down all of your answers beforehand and showing them to your TA so that you don't miss anything.
Discussion was pretty good also, that probably depends on your TA.
Overall, I highly recommend this class. It's not easy, but it's pretty straightforward and I learned a lot. If you attend the lectures and take notes you will get a good grade.
