She is very boring. Gives long-winded lectures on the readings from the night before. I never did any of the reading unless it was for a HW assignment. Will stop and stare at the class until someone answers a question.

Gives really boring, long-winded lectures. Will stop class and stare until someone answers a question she asks. Lots of awkward, tense silence.

Comment:
She is an intelligent woman and knows her history. Class was straight lecture, boring, but also interesting at times. There were 2 essay exams, and 3 lengthy writing assignments, they were fun though. Each essay exam and assignment was to be 3-5 pages each. Proper citation is a must. I don't think she is that bad, I actually liked Prof. Ackerman.

She's a very rude person. Our entire grade was based on fived assignments, all essays. Gives a ridiculous amount of work and the entire class is just one boring lecture. Will not let you go to the bathroom.

THE ABSOLUTE WORST PROFESSOR. She has no type of teaching structure. It was really all over the place. I dont recommend this professor AT ALL. She was really rude when I asked for help outside of class as well.

Comment:
Prof. Ackerman isn't a bad professor by any means, but she is far from my favorite. I personally found lecture relatively interesting, considering I'm not a history person, but she was a little harsh with some students and pushed an earlier due date despite having told us it was later. I barely read any of the readings and still got by.

Comment:
There is no question Dr. Ackerman is a sharp and knowledgeable professor who truly loves history. She is a tough grader, but always provides clear outlines for assignments. If these expectations are not met then expect your grade to reflect that. Overall a passionate professor and after several classes with her one I have grown to love.

Comment:
This professor will not allow you to miss any classes for any reason. She does not care the reason you missed class, being in the hospital to being apart of a team, to just simply needing a day off. Regardless of the absents if you have more then 3 she will take away from your overall grade. Class is straight lecture with papers and harsh grading.

Professor Ackerman was one of the best professors I've ever had. She is passionate about history and lectures for every class. She sets clear expectations for her students, and she hands out guidelines for each assignment. I recommend bringing a laptop to class because a lot of her readings are online through Moodle/Canvas.

I am not a history major and I absolutely love her! Yes she's eccentric and sweats and whatever judgmental thing people have said but she is an excellent professor. Her expectations are clear, she stays on schedule with her syllabus and notifies you in advance with changes (which are almost always beneficial for the class).

She's eccentric in class and prances around until she's wiping sweat off her face and covering material so fast you might as well just enjoy the view out the window because none of it is going to sink in.

A 100 level glass and she grades papers like you are at a 300 level. When I asked for further guidance on an assignment she ignored my request and told me to re-read the syllabus (that didn't explain the assignment with much clarity). I am making it certain that I do not have her ever again!

She loves history and is very eager to share it!! She's a little paper happy - but her papers are her exams...so I'd much rather write a paper with full access to her, notes and classmates than take an exam! She's great and energetic!

Comment:
One of the best teacher's I've ever had. Hoping I can find room in my schedual to take more classes with her. Very demanding of her students, you will work, but you will also learn. Was very understanding when I had to miss class and more than willing to help me catch up. Take her classes - they're awesome!
