WHAT PEOPLE SAY
ANONYMOUS STUDENT EVALUATION
"This course was amazing. The professor is highly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject which is appreciated and recognized by the students. She connects the subject back to pop culture and includes interesting aspects of history into lecture for example, treatment of people with disabilities, the LGBT community, music and art. Her lectures are extremely interesting and easy to follow."

"Carolee was an absolute joy and pleasure to have as a professor. She made you feel extremely comfortable and safe to share your opinions. This was a class to develop not only as a scholar but more importantly as a human being, and she was incredibly successful at doing this."
ANONYMOUS STUDENT EVALUATION
"I like the fun and interesting facts that were presented in each lecture. A lot of them were funny and out of the ordinary things that I had never known about history. It made the class more enjoyable and motivated me to learn."
"This course had topics that most history classes don't cover. The ability to tie in current events going on in music, politics, even the film industry and then connect them to the past was something I had never done before and I really loved learning that new way of thinking."
