There is a LARGE AMOUNT of writing to be done in this class because it is a writing II and a GE requirement. Professor Cooney's lectures were engaging and you can tell how passionate she was about the topic, but besides that, this is mainly a review of the structure of the class since this is what a lot of people want. I agree with some of the Fall 2021 reviews, as this class was relatively interesting and truly is about what the class entails, women and power in the ancient world. Overall, the class material can be interesting but I wouldn't go out of my way to take it. I had Aaron Samuels although he can be a bit curt, I found him to be pretty chill and a lenient grader conpared to other TA's.

However, there isn't much guidance on how to formulate your research psper, but it helps to base it on how she dissects each ancient society and what it means for a woman's access to power there. Professor Cooney's lectures are engaging and she is a great presenter. She also includes online access to other required readings, but her book is not one of them. I personally did not read or buy the professor's book. A recording of you presenting your research is the final assignment, and is worth 5%. The 4th portion is the final/revised draft due around week 10 at 11:59pm and is worth 30%.
The 3rd portion of the final paper is a peer review due week 9 at 11:59pm and is part of the participation grade. Week 8 is also the only week where there was no activity journal due. This portion is 10% and due week 8 at 11:59pm. The second part of the final paper is your rough draft, which must be 10-12 pages in length, and must include a bibliography and a "figures sheet," which is pretty much where you put images of primary sources you used, considering many primary sources you will use consist of ancient relics like tombs, stone carvings, etc. This portion was due week 6 at 11:59pm and is 5% of the total grade. The annotated bibliography needs 4 primary and 4 secondary sources, each with a summary of what it is, who its written by, how is it useful for your research, etc. The first part is introduced around week 4 in which you have to start an annotated bibliography and begin forming your preliminary thesis/research argument. The final research paper is due at the end of week 10/beginning of finals week depending on your TA.
Thus, I did the paper and I will only give details on that. There was very little guidance/detailed instructions on how to do the podcast, and because this class is online/asynchronous, it is hard to get help on it. There is a project that can either be done in paper or podcast form. You will have to implement Michael Mann's IEMP model into your research paper/podcast. A general consensus the class had on Michael Mann's book is that he talks a lot but says nothing, where he goes on long tangents that aren't always entirely related to what the TAs are looking for.
Alonside the weekly activity journals is a 3-4 page paper on Michael Mann's book on "Sources of Power" (due week 3), which is a topic you pretty much have to deal with the rest of the quarter. Watching the pre-recorded lectures and TA videos are required for participation, as well as having two zoom meetings with your TA. I got by without really reading anything, besides skimming for quotes when I needed them for the paper/weekly activities. Some of the readings are short but most of them are pretty long, usually 20+ pages. There are weekly 1 page "activity journals" that you have to complete by Friday 11:59 pm, alongside any other assignments, and often you had to have watched the lectures in order to answer the prompt. Although the material itself isn't hard, there's atleast one thing always due at the end of the week. If you're looking for an easy GE this class might not be it simply because of the amount of writing you have to do.
