Professor Valencius is very kind, thoughtful, and cares about her students so much. Not only is she organized but she is very passionate about the subject she teaches. Make sure to attend lectures, do the readings, and go to office hours because she will give you a lot of good advice.
Took for America and World, could not recommend more. Incredibly intelligent teacher and content was enjoyable and readings weren't too bad. However, her warm personality and desire for student success beyond the class makes her a teacher you must take at some point in your BC career.
Phenomenal professor, very passionate and knowledgable, interesting material, only downside to the class is the range of material. Lots of readings every week and exams are lowk difficult. You gotta love what you're learning to succeed
