Comment:
I took the "20th Century Intellectuals" course for Honors. I was hesitant based on these reviews, but Eve's a sweet prof. The classes can feel long (it's a seminar for 2+ hours), but she is understanding and very knowledgeable. Each class you are expected to have completed a reading (45 pages) and discuss in groups+with the class. I'd recommend it

Eve is very respected in her field. She does assign a lot of reading, but papers and journals are easy. She involves students as much as possible and gives extra credit opportunities. Group projects are easy and fun as well. Tests are completely easy style.

It's easy to get a good grade in this class, but also easy to fall behind quickly. She's very interested in what she does and has amazing conversations... if you pay attention. Make sure to read, and PARTICIPATE. I got a 103% because of extra credit participation. Class is out of 100 points, so, again, PARTICIPATE!

Comment:
Eve is the type of professor that teaches out of her own book. You will have a paper due about every few days. Very few feedback and mostly graded by TA. Class is out of 100 points so every point counts. Offers extra credit for speaking in front of class so use that to your advantage. Otherwise the class is so boring and long. Would not recommend.

Avoid professor Kornfeld's history course it's not worth your time or effort. She is a tough grader and so are her TA's. Her grading is only 100 points so if you lose 5-6 points you are almost at a B and it's difficult to keep a good grade. Most of the students in my class are failing and have struggled to bring their grades up. AVOID HER CLASS!!!

I tried very hard in this class all semester and was still receiving poor grades. The rubrics are hard to find on blackboard and she expects her students to write to her standard without much instruction. Very tough grader as she treats her intro level history 100 class as one of her graduate student classes. Do not take unless you love history.

Comment:
worst professor ever. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. All of the assignments are low stakes but because of that she feels like she can give you a 0 on everything. The only "extra credit" is if u talk during discussions. I have never hated anything more in my life. She expects a ridiculous amount of work for a 100 level class. Save yourself and do not take

She's a nice person, but assigns insane amounts of reading. If you don't do it, you don't get points for journals. THEY ADD UP FAST. If you like standing up and talking you can get extra credit, otherwise you're out of luck. She'll give you a horrible grade on a paper and not provide much explanation when you approach her. Don't take this class.

This class had a lot of reading to do. Grades super hard and there are a lot of writing assignments and she takes attendance by having you submit a journal assignment usually every class. She is really nice and truly cares about what she is teaching, but its hard. It can also be very boring at times too. Just make sure you do all assignments.

Comment:
Absolutely the worst class Ive ever taken, every single person Ive talked to in the class has said theyre failing or close to failing. Each journal is worth 1 point, one page reports are 5 and the mid term was 10&15. Low point class and unclear prompts, she later says that shes ACTUALLY looking for whatever. Also she wrote the textbook

She is a literal crack addict. She makes you read a ton before every class and is actually a super hard grader and teaches truly useless stuff. Terrible class and super hard to get a good grade unless you put 4 hours a night into this class.

Honestly, shes nice and caring, but thats where it ends. The class for a 100 level requires WAY MORE EFFORT than youd expect. You have to read, write and write really well as the TA does the significant grading. I was slacking but tried on the final. Understand I didnt deserve higher than a C, but an F was overboard. Avoid please.

Class was not hard, but boring. You have to come to class if you want to get credit for the journal entries she post at the end of class. The TA does most of the major grading, so pray that you get a good TA. I didn't do any of the reading since she goes over it in class.

Comment:
I picked up this class to fill in some extra units and I regret it. Kornfeld is very passionate about the subject, but she assumes that you as a student of a 100 level class are too. If you're extremely passionate about history, this class is for you. If you're like me and don't like reading primary source documents from 1765, avoid this class.

One of my favorite classes so far at SDSU. I've never been a fan of history but she teaches it very well and makes it interesting. Some days can be a little boring but other days you learn a lot and are very well prepared for the midterm and final. Yes there is reading but you can skim and get the gist of it very easily and still participate.

Class was boring but not difficult. Do all the extra credit given and show up to class and you will be fine. I hate history and didn't do any reading for homework but she went over it in class so as long as you have the gist you will be able to do the papers. She gives prompts that she will choose before the final and midterm which was nice

Kornfeld is very sweet and she is super smart. She is very engaged in her teaching. She gives TONS of extra credit opportunities so be sure to take advantage of that.

Kornfeld was actually really nice. I hate history and I ended up with an A in the class. It's easy, and she offers a lot of extra credit opportunities, so take advantage of those. She grades papers and essays pretty easily, so just make it seem like you know what you're talking about.

Pretty easy class. Only essays no multiple choice tests. Reading maybe 30 pages max for an assignment for the week. Can participate if you want. Lots of extra credit for speaking. Participation point everyday (little writing assignment). Overall the lectures were interesting and I was dreading taking a history class. Was enjoyable and easy enough.

You do have to go to class because of participation credit. However if you show up to class and somewhat listen to what she lectures on then the rest is easy. Show up and take notes and you will get a good grade.
