The course is not especially difficult with Dr. Noll, the assignments are clearly explained and straightforward and they attempt to teach you relevant skills for continuing on historical studies. I did feel as though I benefited from it.

the course is half instruction on how to be a proper historian (researching, writing, editing, etc.) and half actual historical content depending on the topic you take your practicum on.

Dr. Noll is a super fun lecturer and he made this class fun for me to attend despite me not being super interested in the subject matter. The class is very flexible and he's very understanding if you speak to him. The assignments are straightforward and well explained. Be prepared for a bit of class participation and some fun rewards for good answers.

Just stay on top of your work, it's not all that difficult if you break it.
