| Additional Comments |
If you want to learn history as taught by someone who is ultra-happy and cheerful (but not annoyingly so), take Trafton. She seems absolutely delighted to be teaching.
You're going to take a lot of notes. Her lectures aren't the most exciting events to ever take place, but they aren't too bad. She expects you to participate every now and then. Attendance counts, and if you miss too much it hurts your grade. However, if you know you're going to miss a class and email her or tell her in advance, she might not hold it against you. And if you leave class early without telling her about it beforehand, she doesn't really like it.
Her test require some effort. Don't worry too much about some of the minor details, focus on the main points -- use a few of the minor details to spice up your answers to the essay questions. My personal approach to the essay questions is to spill your guts and tell all you know, and it works well for me.
Overall, I really like her even if I don't care too much for history. The class requires a moderate amount of effort... not too much to scare you off, but not so little that it's going to be a cakewalk. If you need any help from her, she seems delighted to help (you can call her at home as late as 10pm if you need to).
