Actually the hardest class I have taken in history. The sheer amount of content you are expected to consume and master within a week is insane. You literally have 0 room to slack or have an off week. Yes, you can catch up if you really force yourself to, but each new week is a new onslaught on work - readings, practice problems, homework. I started 90% of the assignments on time and still struggled to finish by the due dates (btw, no late submissions allowed; you'll just get 0 points, which I think is unfair and makes things unnecessarily hard on students). Some chapters are much easier than others, but it's still a lot of hard work and effort. Don't take this class unless you're aiming for McIntire. Mitchell herself is kind, fast at responding, and very friendly and welcoming, but the course structure is set up to make most students get below B-. #tCFfall22

We are so lucky to have Jill Mitchell. She is one of the kindest and most understanding people I have ever met and she has truly made this course so enjoyable. Going into this course, I was nervous based on the prior reviews. However, Professor Mitchell’s efforts have actually made this my favorite class this semester. The material is definitely challenging, but extremely manageable if you put the work in. All of the resources you need are extremely accessible and Professor Mitchell/TAs are always there to help with anything else. I found the exams to be extremely fair- definitely make sure you know everything on the practice tests and you will be totally fine. If you stay on top of all of the material you will succeed in this course. I also really recommend going to Professor Mitchell’s office hours for help or just to talk in general- she is a wonderful professor and person.
