Comment:
Very bland/monotone, class was always all talk with no visual aids. Once in a blue moon she would write on the whiteboard, which would have no relation to quizzes or test! Now for test/quizzes, way to hard and required too much effort for a 100 class. I have taken History classes in the 300 and this class was by far the WORSE! Stay away...

She is a nice lady but her class seemed to be a little harder than what it should have been for a 100 level class.

Comment:
Very nice person, but if you're not into History i wouldn't suggest her. Requires you to read from 2 books each week and then eventually adds in a few projects while requiring the reading. 5 point quizzes each week which are impossible to pass and tests are even worse. If you like group discussions and history she is for you, if not stay away!

Comment:
I like History, but if you don't I wouldn't take her. You learn alot which is good if your into it, but shes a hard teachers and the quizes are almost impossible to pass, test are easier. She also doesn't put up with immaturity, so don?t talk or try to be a class clown, but you can ask questions.

Comment:
This is by far the hardest 100 level class i have ever took. She requires so much work. And you have to read TWO boring, extremely long books each week. Tests are very hard. Even requires you to visit cultural events outside of class. I dreaded her lectures every Tues/Thurs. Not Good!!!

Nice lady. While she technically doesn't take attendence, she does have quizzes every Tues. and makes you read a ridiculous amound of text almost every Thurs. Tests (and passing) require lots of studying (which they should). A lot of work, but like most classes, just keep up with it and you'll be fine. Does make you attend events outside class.

Comment:
She is a very good teacher and gives great notes. You are required to read a chapter (long chapter!) weekly and take a 5pt. quiz on it before she goes over the info to insure you read. Very fair, throws out two lowest quiz grades and lowest dicussion question grade. Tests are somewhat difficult, but overall good teacher and class.

Some material was hard to follow in class because it's all PP, but she does a pretty good job of explaining. Tests are alright if you study and discussions are fun if you get involved. Take her if you can!

Comment:
This professor is very concise in lecture and really makes you interested in the sometimes dry topic of history. She leads discussions that delve into social, political, and economic situations from different periods. You get to discuss such things as gender roles and childhood. Very interesting and challenging class, would take her again!

She's a really good teacher. She does give a lot of assignments like discussions and things but they are generally really easy. She's also really interested in history and it makes it a lot better to be in class.

Great teacher, and very helpful. She gave alot of assignments and makes you study the notes by giving you an essay on the test, without giving you the topic before hand.

Definitely a fun class.. she loves history, and tests weren't that bad. She does a research paper but gives you a few topics to choose from. I liked her so much im taking her history 342 civil war class (her specialty). highly recommend this professor!
