Comment:
Perhaps the best history professor to ever teach at DePauw. I have had Steinson for a few classes and her passion for history is remarkable. She engaged students heavily and her passion for history rubbed off on every student in the class. A remarkable professor and anyone who has taken her class has gained a wealth of knowledge.

Comment:
One of my favorite teachers I've had a DePauw. She is very passionate about history and you can definitely tell through the class discussions. Reading is a must because all of the tests and class participation is based off of it. A lot of writing assignments, but they are helpful. If anything is unclear a simple email to her clears everything up.

Comment:
She is really kind and helpful. Sometimes the lecture and discussion can be disorganized, but overall taking her class is really enjoyable. She grades on efforts, if you work hard and visit the office hour you will be good. No matter you are a history major or not, her class is absolutely worth taking.

Professor Steinson is a gem. She's extremely kind and willing to help outside of class. Readings are super important because her tests are KILLER, though she does give pretty clear guides as to what will be on the tests. Overall, tough grader but a passionate professor.

Comment:
Steinson literally loves what she does and is always willing to help out with papers/tests. I submitted my rough drafts to her multiple times and she always sent them back with comments on the paper. You need to do the reading because her lectures are really unorganized, and she is a pretty picky grader, but go in and see her and she'll like you.

Professor Steinson is awesome! She is so enthusiastic about what she teaches. Her lectures are unorganized & the reading can be ridiculous one week & virtually non-existent the next but if you skim you'll be fine. She is willing to help with anything too. Tests are long but she gives study guides. Very sweet & understanding too! Take her class!

Comment:
I love history but Steinson's enthusiasm made me love it even more. Yes the tests are hard and the writing assignments are tedious but I feel like her enthusiasm makes you want to do the work. You really learn a lot in this class. She's notorious for sending lots of emails changing the readings and adding random information. Best Prof at DePauw!

Very enthusiastic about History! Tests are difficult and long and she is a picky grader. Lots of reading and she likes to see marked and highlighted pages for in-class discussions.

Lots and lots of reading! Simple writing assignments about every week (usually around 3-4 pages)Two main papers and two tests plus the final. Grades pretty hard on the major tests and papers. She knows her history though, and is one of my favorite professors.

Lots of reading and writing. Short writing assignments (2-4 pages) about every week. Pretty difficult grader on the bigger papers and the essay-based tests. Wonderful professor though.

An intense professor, but excellent. She KNOWS her stuff and is excited about it. Lots of class readings, but it's for the student's own good. Grading is not as difficult as it could be. Papers can be confusing, but easy to write once started. Don't skip class - she will/can/does mark down. Very resourceful and is very helpful in/outside of class.

I've really gotten into the material she's presented, and our class discussions are really interesting. Her enthusiasm for history is contagious! Lots of reading and writing, but you'll learn a lot. The only drawback is I think the class moves at a too-fast pace.
