Prof: Valerie Hampton / Fall 2024
Jul 31, 2025
The course was quite fascinating, especially for those who enjoy the medieval period. The teacher is incredibly accommodating. If you prefer not to collaborate in groups, she allows you to work independently, offers extensions, provides opportunities for make-up work, and even extra credit. I enrolled to fulfill an International & Humanities requirement, but I gained a wealth of knowledge.
If you're interested in the middle ages, this knowledge is incredibly beneficial for you. Medieval civilization laid the groundwork for our current society, paving the way for the Renaissance and the Modern era. I gained a great deal of insight into the society of that period.
Dr. Hampton possesses a wealth of knowledge and is incredibly supportive. She offers extensions, opportunities for make-up work, and extra credit options. She is very understanding, and if you're overwhelmed with assignments, workload, or unwell, just send her an email, and she will assist you.
I should have contacted the professor at the start of class about my preference to work independently and my workload worries. If you heed her guidance in the announcements and emails, achieving an A in this class is easy.
