Reviews of professor Amy Limoncelli

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Loved this class! Fast paced as it was a summer course, but still easy to follow with understandable expectations! Lots of great information and use of critical thinking to study recent events that have become part of history. Recommend taking a class with Professor Limoncelli.

Professor Limoncelli is a fantastic professor. She is very passionate about what she teaches. The textbook isn't essential if you've taken a world history course but the reading books are. The reading books aren't budgeted into the syllabus so make sure you read them with enough time to do the essays. Class is a mix of lectures and discussion.

Professor Limoncelli was super sweet. There was so much reading in her class, some days had ~100 pages. The class was 2/3 her lecturing and 1/3 reading discussions, but people didn't really do the readings, so it was a lot of sitting in silence. The assignments could've had cleared directions, but overall weren't terrible.

Most every class consisted of a full lecture but that is most history classes. Overall, the point spread for the class felt more fair than other history classes. Most history classes are just a midterm, final essay, and final exam. All 3 of our papers were based on single books which made them easier to write (as long as you read the books).

Took her Coll 150 as a basically clueless STEM major, and loved it! Since it's a 150, your grade is almost entirely based on a single 10 page paper. But Limoncelli is so nice and approachable, and she gives super helpful feedback! Lots of readings, too, but she'll lead fascinating discussions on them if you at least skim. 100% would recommend!!
