Introduction to Modern and Contemporary History

Thought it was easy, but have to memorise a lot of information. And I had two debates. Ended with 16 overall. Do your own notes in order to really understand the information. My tip is for you to search more outside information than what you have, I used chat gpt to complement my work, asked him everything so it would explain it better, really helped me. But reading the book is the most important I believe.

Necessary to read a book and to understand it just for a trimestral course. Really heavy work, but it was one of my favorites courses. I found it interesting.

It’s super theorical, boring and i didn’t like the course. The exam is many writing questions and you need to study harder.

Interesting course and easy to understand if you pay attention to classes. The exam is a little demanding as you need to know the subjects well to answer to the questions, as you should write a lot in each.

A lot of concepts to know, however in the exam they are not that rigorous as long as you show you have learned something and know specific things that one could only know by reading the book ( but reading the resumes is enough). You should go to every class as the teacher does a quiz in the beginning of each class.

I'm not a person who liked history at school; however, I really like the course material, it's really interesting, but has a very heavy workload for the credits it gives. A lot of pages to read per week, especially since in the beginning a person is not used to reading so much in English. A tip I give is to really read the pages. It helps in the exam. My professor was really kind and open to questions.

Worst course I took in my bachelors, without a doubt. You learn nothing new, and revisit things you already know in a dumb way. MEMORIZE the open questions answers.
