Comment:
Very friendly and passionate about subject (medieval studies). Her lectures were a bit dry, and I wish she'd write on the board more. The reading starts heavy (to establish foundation), buts gets better and lighter. The papers were middling difficult. The TAs all seemed nice, and well informed. A couple of goofy witchcraft movies, too.

Comment:
Professor Effros is excellent. I did feel bad that it seemed like grad students carried alot of the weight, but you could tell that she really valued undergrad contributions. In a split level class, she made an effort to make sure undergrads were getting enough out of the course. Glad I took it.

Best class I have taken at Binghamton. She is very organized, very smart, with really helpful comments on my writing. Will try to take another class with her. Makes me want to be a historian.

I had a difficult time on my paper with one of her TAs who was Turkish and had a somewhat difficult time with English. Other than that, it was an okay class.

Comment:
Very boring, just sits there and lectures. I personally think she made an interesting subject matter very boring. She's got a monotone voice too, which is like a lullabye. She'll grade you bad if you don't agree with her point of view - that's something to avoid at all costs. Take her if you must.

This is probably the easiest class in Binghamton besides Theatre 101. She knows what she's talking about and her tests are very easy as long as you go to lecture and skim the book.

Incredibly boring. She just paces back and forth in front of the lecture hall and talks. She's not very clear and she is also not very loud. She's hard to hear

Comment:
Painfully boring lectures, with absolutely no visual aides at all - all she did was sit and talk. Nice lady, but she'll put you to sleep. She won't grade you well if your opinion differs from her in your papers.
