Comment:
If you are considering this course as an elective, I would urge you to reconsider unless you are fine with a grade that may lower your average. Although an interesting course, I would never take it again and I would never recommend simply because of her fact that she is such a hard marker.

Comment:
Amazing prof other than the fact that she is a VERY tough marker! A lot of reading and the essays are not easy. She sets up workshops outside of class for every essay and always asks if anyone has any questions throughout her lectures. Her PowerPoint slides are not very helpful and she does not post anything on Learn so you have to go to class.

Incredible prof. She was so passionate about the topic that it made listening a privilege. If you don't understand something, she is more than happy to stay and explain it to you after class. Not an easy marker but her comments and workshops are intended for you to do better.

Comment:
Dr. Taylor is a great lecturer, but is a little biased in her historical views. Thee three paper's required for the term are simple enough and there is not much outside thinking required in this course. Dr. Taylor is very passionate about history and is great to approach if u ever need help.

Comment:
Extremely captivating lectures. You won't want to miss a single one. Dr. Taylor is a tough marker, and in this class my only complaint is that she tested us on information that we had not covered, not in class or in the textbook, also demanding 3 papers in a term is pushing it, especially considering the multiple-essay format of her exams.

Amazing prof. Really knows her material and cares about the history she teaches about. Very clear and stern in the classroom. I didn't think she was too hard a marker, simply fair.

Dr. Taylor is an amazing prof, you can tell she's really interested in what she's doing which makes attending class that much better. She's a tough marker though, hope a TA is marking your work. Don't expect a bird course, but don't let that stop you from taking it if you like History.

Great prof! Very interesting and short lectures. Very good with words and is friendly, highly recommend. BUT the assignments and exam are all essay-style and the lectures are mandatory (NO online/ACE component)

She's a great lecturer and teacher but a very hard marker. If you need an average booster, do NOT take her course, or at least hope that she wont be the one marking them. She also not amazing at one-on-one communication but she is very helpful when it comes to content.

Hard marker, but also teaches students how to meet high standards. Her passion for the subject makes her lectures not only informative, but entertaining. Show up to her classes, and you won't be needing the texts. You'll learn more than what is in those texts anyway.

She is a great teacher. You dont have to buy a text book because the exam is straight from the lectures. The lectures are well efficient and informative. Its is How she delivers it thats the fun part. She loves her subject, and she passionately lectures, it makes you feel like she was actually there and knew the characters.

Expect to work hard in this class! Expect to read about 12 books to write the major paper worth 50%. There is also four major works to read for the four tutorial classes. This one is a lesson in time management.
