Reviews of professor Geoffrey Traugh

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Traugh is a really good choice for a history class. He is very compassionate and willing to help students as much as needed. The assignments were pretty easy if a bit vague, and the reading was never strenuous. The lectures are not very content-heavy but they can be entertaining. Discussion sections are mandatory. Would recommend overall!

New and has no guiding criteria for his grading( though he pretends to) . Lectures are completely dry and extremely loaded with empty material. To be frank, unclear if hes actually passionate about what he teaches or if someone has forced him to teach about it. Absolutely not life changing and absolutely not worth the time.

Tough grader but very willing to help students, REALLY cares about participation, assessments are all papers (except for final exam). Need to do a lot of readings for the class, and some of them are really dry, but the lectures are pretty engaging. Wouldn't call it an easy class but definitely not the worst history option out there.
