Reviews of professor Rachel Ozanne

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Ozanne herself is fantastic! However, getting a tough TA (like I did) makes it a lot more challenging. The course itself is easy and not time-consuming; however, just make sure to rewrite essay #1 and collaborate with your group for the project, and you should be fine! Easy class!

Boring lectures, but weekly InQuizitives and open-note Lecture Quizzes were easy. I did the former in 1 day and never did an InQuizitive ever again. Essays harshly graded, but professor and TA feedback helpful in getting the grade you desired. You should be allowed to pick group members, as they were often dysfunctional otherwise and hurt you.

Dr. Ozanne's class is fairly straightforward and an easy way to get history credit. Class is not mandatory, but if you do she often gives extra credit opportunities for those that are in class. For the first essay, you get the chance to rewrite it using your TA's feedback.

I didn't attend/watch a single lecture and still got an A. If you're well versed with history this class is a breeze. There is a group project that makes up most of your grade, as long as you collaborate and use the feedback from the TAs you're good. There was an opportunity to rewrite essay 1 for a higher grade based on TA feedback which was nice.

Took HIS 345J. Impossible to do all of the assigned reading, I stopped trying after the first week and did fine. Surprisingly hard grader but not impossible. Group project at the end of class. Snooze lectures. Good weekly assignments and projects/papers. Lots of things graded so if you try you'll do well.

I love Dr. Ozanne! She does her best to make lectures interesting and weekly assignments are easy. The TA's are a little more tedious with grading essays and group projects, but an A is very attainable. She offers several in-person extra credits, so I would recommend attending class. Highly recommend!

Dr. Ozanne is an entertaining lecturer and provides the nuance of difficult topics. I found that taking notes during lecture (including primary source discussions) made the two unit essays (in which you only use lectures/textbook/provided primary sources) and the group projects (I got a good group, no issues) really easy. Highly recommend!

the content itself isnt hard and attendance isnt mandatory, but the grading on group projects and essays is harsh. There is extra credit, but its only in person

Her lectures are good and she is nice. The workload is fair and the essays are doable. They are just graded unnecessarily hard and nit-picky. The group projects themselves aren't difficult but group projects in college are just naturally frustrating and since attendance isn't mandatory expect half your group to not know whats happening.
