Reviews of professor Samantha Gervase

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Gervase is the bombespecially her discussion sections, which had a real community feel to them. Learned a lot, despite the pandemic. I would definitely take again if I could.

Samantha is a really great person and very understanding. She covers a lot of content in lecture and the class is pretty fast paced but the weekly workload is light and not on the lectures, but the readings which are done outside of class. Thats definitely not an excuse to miss lecture though (which I did, peep my grade) - the exams make up for it.

The professor made it a joy to learn history. There were no exams, entire class was graded through papers, projects and reading responses. The weekly readings allocated by her were well curated and interesting. Introduced me to a whole new way of looking at history. Discussion sections were great. Lectures tended to be a bit slow and textbookish.

Professor Gervase really cares about her students, very lenient on grading and really understanding, super funny lectures. Course mainly consisted of a midterm, papers, fun lectures, and a final! Class made it feel like a community.
