Awesome
Prof. Costanzo is totally awesome! Assigments are tedious but it follows a clear grading criteria. He is very relaxed about mess-ups except for his name. If you wanna learn something, I would definitely recommend him

Good
Prof. Adam was amazing. You'll have to attend lectures because the ppt he posts doesn't have any words. He gives weekly discussion post and online quiz. There's also a patriots and loyalist game which required a speech in front of 80+ people, so be prepared. I wouldn't take this again because it's quite a lot of work.

Costanzo
Corpus Christi, Texas
I’m currently a professional assistant professor of United States History at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Prior to joining the faculty here in Corpus, I worked for a year as an assistant professor at Wiley College in Marshall, TX. In 2012, I completed my doctorate in American History at at the University of California, Davis. My research examines the relationship between the District of Columbia and the federal government in the early republic period and the effects of that relationship on the development of the national capital. In the classroom, I teach both ends of the U.S. History survey, Ancient History, and the occasional graduate seminar on Early America.
