No need for the textbook. Helps to have a good TA. Lectures are pretty clear and easy to follow (though it does get a bit dull).

Comment:
I have to write the comment as I'm heading to study for the final. The final is extremely hard and you have to literally spend all of deadweek on it or you must fail. She has a study guide which consists of everything she taught - so basically no use for us. DO NOT CHOOSE HER CLASS! I MEAN IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO STARTED HATING HISTORY AND GET AN F!

Comment:
She could be one of the worst Professors I have ever met. A lot of primary documents to read(sometimes more than 20 pages, and you still have to read the textbook which is another 20 pages.) Papers are long, like 2000 words. MIDTERMS AND FINALS are unreasonably hard. espacially the final. she has the study guide for final but its useless.

Comment:
She was definitely the worst teacher I've ever had. She literally is the most ridiculous teacher. She reads directly from the book and when someone gives an intelligent answer she gets bitter because they "stole her glory". Then when a student points out hte obvious she praises them. Ugh, NEVER take a class from her.

Very easy if you read and attend lectures. Not a lot of reading. Lectures can be boring from time to time and she does make weird jokes. But very approachable and very kind. Take her class!

Quite possibly the worst teacher ever in the history of any sort of teaching and that is saying a lot considering some of those that have been seen by mny.

I love Prof. Orozco!! Not only does she have a joking personality, but she also is extremely easy to follow! Made history 4a easy, and she brought us muffins for the final! Sweet lady!

The kind of teacher you want for a 9 am class, because she jokes around and has a light personality. If you takes notes in class, you're good for tests. Kind of easy.

Eh, nothing special. She looks like a fraud. Her lectures are really stale and boring and her tests are average easy. Take only if you must, like most people take 4A anyway.

Very average teacher. Nothing great about her, nothing terrible. Tests on lecture more than reading.

all she would talk about was how great her 4 series class was so much better. she graded hard on tests, but papers were a breeze. i hope that she adopts a personality soon, cuz she need one bad. otherwise, not so bad.
