Jones, Matthew Silver_nugget
Renaissance: An Introduction

Please keep in mind that this review is more than 5 years old.

As has been said above Jones is brillant, interesting, yaddy yaddy ya...but he is also a very difficult teacher for those who have no background in the courses he teaches. He lectures as if everyone in class has memorized the works of Valla and Machiavelli. He says on a regular basis in lecuture, "Well I'm sure you have all read (fill in the blank with any obscure author) and everyone in the lecture hall looks around at each other in panic. Anyway, his class while informative was definetly not Intro level, even for a history major.

Workload:

Midterm,Cumulative Final, short and long paper, 150 pages of reading a week mostly primary sources(not easy reading) your TA decides your fate so choose wisely.
