I loved this class! Prof. Kube knows his stuff, is readily available and wants you to be successful. 3 essays (which were an interesting take, not your normal boring essays), bi weekly Perusall assignments. Gives plenty of time to get work done. You have to do good work, but if you do then it will be a great class. 1 book, but it's cheap.

Hes strict about a few things like deadlines but I also found him approachable and sincere. In person he can be someone to have a laugh with.

SK runs a tight ship but that paid off during the virus weeks. No hassle, prompts and materials far ahead of time on canvas, he grades the papers and answers questions fast. Course was worth the cost and time.

It looked like a lot on the syllabus but it turned out to be a cruise, I had enough points three weeks before the end from doing all the papers and most of the smaller assignments. The textbook / documents and everything else was available online and free, and the website worked great.

He made me hate my entire semester. He grades on participation but doesn't give everyone the chance to speak, his weekly assigned readings are usually 30+ pages and its 2 or 3 of them per week, he asks about extremely specific details about each reading in class and will not give u participation grade if you mess up. Long and difficult assignments.

Almost done with one full spring term course and loving it. The course has three essays, one on Woodtsock, and two projects (one mini biography of your 60s hero and a music playlist). He has some interesting content in the online discussions which are actually interesting and dont take up much time. Theres one book but you can get that used.

Hybrid course. Online assignments are very straightforward. His lectures are the best part because he's super entertaining and shows cool historical material. Three papers based on sources; started with B- and got A- on the last. He wants you to improve and if you work you certainly will. European humor and he really cares about students progress.

I took Modern American Civilization with Prof. Kube last Fall and enjoyed the course all semester. When I needed a recommendation for an internship application at very short notice, he said he could do it and sent it in two days later. I got the job after all and deeply appreciate his support.
