I love her. Her lectures are inspirational and so are a lot of the readings. She made me not hate history anymore. TA's do all of the grading but if you show up to their office hours they go easy on you in my experience. The analysis essays are rough sometimes but you get used to them. Great professor, just pray you get an easy TA.

Honestly, she's a really nice professor but like others mentioned, TAs basically do everything. Her lectures are not very interesting and sometimes leaves me confused about what she's talking about. I thought her final exam was a bit unfair.. it was 2 essays "designed to be 3 hrs long" but she asked for detailed citations and 2000 words max

Really hands off and lets your TA take everything, thoroughly enjoys what shes teaching and you can tell how knowledgeable she is from the lectures (which I did watch in 2x speed), wish I had more direct contact with her though :/ CAs are hard at first to figure out what they want but it gets better :,)

If you're taking this online, there's very little work. You'll write a total of 5 analysis essays and write a weekly discussion post. The TA does all the grading so get to know them. You really don't need to read from the textbook. The discussion questions often come from the book she wrote (Longman). Read those texts and you'll pass with an A!

She's honestly an amazing professor; you can really tell she cares about her students success. Her midterms and final are super reasonable as they reflect the content learned in class. Just study off her study guide! She lectures with no slides but pay attention to the pictures at the end! Also - participate in TA, this was what brought me to an A-

I absolutely loved DuBois for MMW 11. Her lectures were awesome, and had a soothing voice that for some reason made me pay attention. She posts study guides for the midterm and final, and has fairly minimal reading. She doesn't podcast, but I wouldn't skip lectures for anything. She really puts her all into her teaching, and you can feel it

Comment:
Her lectures were pretty boring and a little bit confusing. She doesn't really explain and develop the ideas very well, just throws a bunch of terms at you. This made studying for the tests more difficult because I had to look everything up. You can get a good grade if you just go to lecture and do the readings.

Comment:
Prof DuBois is a caring professor who is humorous and easy-going. Her lectures are not the best and can get boring sometimes. Grades are determined by 2 tests (a midterm and a final) and discussion section participation. The tests are not hard if you study for them since she post very detailed study guides a week before.

DuBois's class was easy and I learned a lot. She gives a clear cut study guide for both the midterm and the final which are the outline of the exam. I didn't do a lot of readings, but I attended every lecture and took detailed notes. Lecture is important because some terms that are on the study guide were defined in class, but are not in the book.

The class was graded upon 3 things. The Midterm, Final, and Participation in the discussion section. She gives out a study guide before the midterm and final, and all you really need to do is memorize what is on it and you'll get an A.

Professor DuBois is great. Even though it's a lot of content and it was sometimes hard to pay attention to what she said, her slow pace was really good and made the subject easier to grasp. Her tests were heavily based on the readings. They weren't hard tho, very straight forward and if you read you'll get an A. Office Hours --> she is amazing!

Comment:
Dubois's class is very lecture heavy, however you don't need to go to do well in the class because she gives clear study guides for tests. Lectures can be boring, but interesting if you engage. The final is a lot harder than the midterm, so I suggest studying hard to do well on the midterm so that you have some leeway with the final!

There's alot of say regarding how her tests are easy and such, BUT there are some things you guys should take into account. The classes are all curved so even if you get a professor that is a hard grader, he won't let the class grade average be a D-. Just keep that in mind. Personally, the way she talks didn't suit me at all. Way too slow.

She doesn't use PowerPoints or any visual learning tools during her lecture. She does speaks with a clear voice and always made the lecture engaging. She does makes sexual references but it's all academic. Overall, she's a pretty cool teacher and I wish she teaches MMW 12 too. Definitely will take her again.

Dubois is definitely the easiest MMW11 professor. She doesnt use powerpoint and just talks for the entire class but her lectures are identical to the readings. Her discussion sections are participation based so attendance is mandatory for those but lectures are definitely optional. Exams are straightfoward and follow the study guides closely.

Dubois is a spunky woman. She's really easy, one midterm that's not bad, and the final isn't bad either. Her lectures can be boring but pay attention whenever she mentions a reading because those will be the readings that come up on the test. Her outfits are always on point. She talks about sex a lot too

Lectures seriously lull you to sleep but its important to pay attention because she doesn't have Powerpoint slides or anything. Previous reviews about her talking about sex are accurate, she somehow manages to talk about it every single lecture lol. Midterms and final well represented in her study guides

I am providing this rating because as a student, I was able to provide my experiences I've had in college to her and she said she felt she gained a new insight of how the students feel. She also explained that she would love to get to know her students well, but working in a big classroom is difficult. She is an amazing individual overall.
