Additional comments (e.g., about course content/materials, teaching style, etc.):

I thought the papers were a little too intensive for a lower level course. I don't think that theassignments were clear enough in what was expected of us and how to write the papers in theway the professor and Rachel were looking for. I know that I am a very busy student outside ofschool itself, which makes meeting with a TA for every assignment difficult, and this put me at aHUGE disadvantage which I felt wasn't fair. I also thought 20% for class participation was toomuch. As well as the participation grades not dependent enough on attendance. I don't think itmakes sense to assume that because a student doesn't speak, or speak as much in class, thatthey are not prepared and therefore deserve a D, especially when it is so much of the final grade.Also, how is the final only 20% of the grade??? That doesn't seem to make much sense. ButYES to the extra credit. The assignments were difficult. The boost was definitely needed.

Professor Bell is an excellent professor, a fine lecturer. He demands a lot from his students. I amnot a history major, and I am done all my COREs. I took this class because I hadn't taken anyhistory classes in college and Professor Bell got stellar reviews. I very much wish I hadn't,though. I have a demanding extracurricular schedule and intern twice a week, in addition totaking 3 other classes. This class was far more work-intensive, and, I would say, harder, than myupper-level government classes. I did not expect, nor am I happy with, the workload of this 200-

level class. Also, while Rachel Walker is very capable and bright, I did not find her warm oraccessible. I excelled in history in high school, so perhaps I am just "rusty," but I found theessays to be very difficult.

The teaching assistant should not be cussing in the classroom. It is very abrasive. She also wascompletely UNHELPFUL AND INACCESSIBLE. I REGRET taking the class cause of her.

The professor taught the lectures extremely well. Some of the assignments were a little tochallenging for a 200 level course, and the TA was way to tough on grading.

Rachel was a great TA and a helpful asset to the class.

The course content is extremely interesting, but for a level 200 course, the demands are far farfar too high. Not only are they too high, but the requirements in work is not clearly described, andas such, grades suffered. Professor Bell was fantastic however. A very good and entertainingprofessor!

Some of these papers were harder than all of my 400 level classes.

I really enjoyed the class material, professor, and TA. They did a great job communicating thecontent and keeping class interesting. Having said that I thought the assignments were much tohard for the course level. Having taken a number of history classes at UMD (including 400 level)I found the expectations for this class were much too high. The grading of these assignmentswas also quite harsh. I put a lot of effort into this class and believe I should have earned highergrades on the papers.

The Final is Asking A bit much.

Since this was a core requirement for me - and thus not a high priority class - I found it frustratingthat only two weeks were allotted for each assignment. It would have been much easier to plansufficient time to work on each paper if we could do some preparation ahead of time. Also, theamount of primary source reading for each week seemed excessive. We rarely had enough timeto discuss all of the readings in discussion, so it seemed like a waste of time to have to do all ofthe reading.

Amazing class that covered a huge amount of information, personally though I felt that theabstractness of the concept covered caused me a lot of strife.

This was a pass/fail class for me, so I did not put too much effort into it. However, I enjoyed itthoroughly and Prof Bell is great.

Okay, maybe if I was a history major than I would like his teaching style. But he did way to much,I am an accounting major and I had to spend way to much time with a magnifying glass to readdocuments about "what did this person do and why", which I think would be fine if it was a 400level class. Also, the papers we had were quite horrendous. We had to find reasons for thingsthat happened but they had to be the reasons that the teacher had already come up with, so ifyou tried to find your own reasons they'd be wrong. Also, the grading system is very confusing. A91 is a B+ in this class. Way too harsh for a core. In english 101 we only had to do 3 papers andno final, here we had to do 3 papers and a super extensive final.Not what I signed up for.

The class was very intensive and a history background is not needed per-say but I wouldstrongly recommend students having a background before taking the class. The papers werequite challenging and at times it was hard to figure out what was wanted on them.

GREAT teacher. Knows how to lecture, tells an engaging story. This was the first year of thecourse, and I found the material very engaging. However, papers were pretty difficult (not muchwork other than that though so it was alright) and the TA was full of herself.

Great teachers and very interesting class

I really enjoyed the lectures of this class. Always engaging and I feel I learned a lot. I liked the

different perspective this course took when viewing history. However, for being a 200 level class,I thought there was too much work given. I am not a history major and was taking this class as acore credit. The papers took a lot of time and the 3rd paper came right after the 2nd. I feel that 2papers would have been sufficient and maybe some other type of project.

This was an amazing class! Professor Bell was more than qualified to teach this course anddefinitely had a strong knowledge about the material being taught. He is an excellent speakerand was very well organized for each and every class. He worked hard to address any concernswe had and kept our attention during class. Rachel was a good TA for she made sure to addressour concerns and worked to make sure we understood our expectations and provided us with alot of feedback for our papers/assignments.

I think the papers should have been graded on the basis of a rubric, and how well the studentsanswered all elements included in the rubric. Instead, the grader first determined which paperhe/she thought was best. Then distributed the grades for all the other papers accordingly. I donot think this was fair to the students. Also, lengthy discussion readings assigned during thesame weeks that papers were due were not helpful. Overall, the class was enjoyable andinteresting. I liked the lectures, and also enjoyed going to discussion section. I also liked hearingfrom different guess speakers. And I thought the required "excursion" was a great idea! P.S.-Maybe ask the students opinions before moving the due date of a paper. Personally, that wasmore harmful than helpful for me.

The teaching style was very good, however, in discussion it would probably better to incorporatemore small group activities so everyone has an opportunity to participate.

This class was interesting and engaging at times, but at others it was a nuisance and anunreasonable amount of expectations and work. I took this class mostly because it looked like aninteresting core class that did not require as much work as it does now. Richard Bell is anexcellent professor and lecturer. But I feel like his expectations for the class are too high,especially because a large portion of the class are not history majors or anything related tohistory. The weekly readings are sometimes reasonable, but sometimes completelyunreasonable in the amount assigned. The papers are interesting, and they do require muchresearch in order to write a 5-6 page paper. These prompts are very broad and can have a largevariety of correct answers. Because of that, I do not believe that it is reasonable for the papers tobe graded poorly because the writer did not have the answer you were looking for. I believe thatthe grading for the papers needs to be changed. It is unfair and unless I know what you arelooking for, then I won't receive a good grade. The idea behind the class was great, but theexecution of the idea was rough in my opinion. Coming from a non-history major, this class wasunexpectedly hard and a large portion of my time, especially weeks where the paper was dueand there was a large amount of assigned reading.

The lectures were incredible, but the written assignments were more challenging and labor-intensive than expected. Students were expected to be historians, rather than just students.

Bell was a great lecturer! A pretty different style but very engaging and informative. I would take aclass from him again.

Sourcepack content was confusing and hard to read.
