Comment:
I have taken a couple classes with Prof. Najar. If you have taken history classes before, her class isn't anything new. You do have to read but she doesn't require you to buy any textbooks. As long as you do the readings and participate, it is not difficult to get a good grade. She also is very nice and gives great feedback!

Comment:
She made me hate history. The class is a just meandering discussion about class and gender that goes in circles. There is no guidance whatsoever. Also, you basically have to say that women played a larger role in basically any major historical event that has ever happened than is often thought. Just awful.

Comment:
Crazy amount of reading. No tests, only papers and occasional pop quiz. Talking only once every class would be seen as a C for participation. Just way way way too much reading of repitive articles. Have to annotate about 40 pages of reading per class. Super analytical of papers and thesis statements.

Comment:
She is absolutely awful. Just sits there and provides no direction for class discussion. Lets people talk about things that have no relevance to readings whatsoever. Made me hate history. No sense of humor. Extremely unpleasant person. Would rather have the plague than take a class with her. She is the definition of terrible.

An absolute *itc*. She gives female professors a bad name and reputation. Save yourself stress and take another course.

Comment:
She expects you to participate in discussions every class, one comment isn't enough. She's nice and actually wants you to do well but can be really intimidating. The midterm and finals are pretty straight forward though and the material is interesting. Too much reading though. She teaches well and goes through most of it. Never emails back though.

Comment:
A complete hypocrite. Holds your work to standards that even she doesn't live up to. Her expectations are unclear, but rather than admitting that, she takes it out on you. Does not answer emails. Is difficult to find for office hours. Is cold and heartless. If possible, avoid classes with her.

Wants you to do your best--can be somewhat intense but very helpful and supportive. Taking Historical Research isn't exactly fun but I learned a lot, and we didn't have class pretty frequently in the middle of the semester so we could do our own research/writing instead.

Way too much reading, papers not returned in a timely fashion, not the most respectful towards grad students. Be prepared to work hard and still not get the grade you deserve.

Professor Najar is amazing. If you want to work hard and learn a lot you should definitely take a class with her. If you do the work and participate you will be rewarded with a great experience. History of Sexuality and the Family is an awesome class!

Stay away from this professor. While she is friendly and helpful at times, she can be a real pain in the butt. She gives many unnecessary reading assignments and will put you to sleep in class. Did I mention a lot of really boring reading assignments?

This class was difficult, I'll admit. However, she made herself available for extra help all the time and helped me pull my grade up a full letter grade. You MUST do all assigned reading to survive, and check Blackboard constantly.

i took najar for sexuality and the family and learned a lot... i will agree that some readings were boring but helpful in learning the material. she is dedicated to her students and a wonderful resource to take advantage of if needed in future classes.
