Chantel Rodriguez HIST429I Anonymous 05/30/2022	A lot of readings and weekly discussions, plus book reviews and a final project. Do not take with a heavy class load
Stefano Villani HIST429I Expecting a B+ histenglstudent 05/31/2011	This class was pretty rough to sit through. He uses Powerpoint heavily, but most of them are borderline-not-English paragraphs that he reads straight off the screen and doesn't elaborate on. He has a heavy accent and is sometimes difficult to follow. Everything discussed in class was straight out of the readings, so attendance in the class was pretty low. The first half of the course spent on Elizabeth I was much more interesting than the second half spent on Mary Queen of Scots, and I wish the class studied more about "the propaganda and myth" of their regimes like the description of the class promised. There are two papers, a term paper, a midterm and a final. He is a bit of a finicky grader, but not unreasonable. Take the class if you are already interested in the topic, but reconsider if you are looking for an engaging elective.
