HIME 2012

Really loved it. Kahlenberg is super understanding and a great lecturer. We had quizzes throughout the semester (multiple choice, pretty easy), readings for hw (was a lot but she scaled back after hearing our feedback), discussion post each week on a reading, miderm project, and a final paper that you go to choose the topic on. I ended w an A+. Favorite class ive taken thus far and would encourage others to take it

TAKE THIS CLASS!!! I cannot recommend it enough. Professor Kahlenberg began her year here at UVA this fall semester and she is absolutely amazing. I wish I could take another class with her. The way she taught this class is unmatched. She presented the historical facts plain and simple but also added questions to ponder. She taught this course as an unbiased professor but also highlighted the depth of the conflict and why it is a conflict still today. There is not much homework besides readings. There's one group project for the midterm, a few quizzes in class, and a final paper. Participation is very important in this class because its all about perspectives and personal opinions. If you like smaller classes that also lecture and discuss, please take this class! She is so organized and prepared everyday, her class truly made my semester manageable.
