Comment:
I love Professor Gray. Although she will assign reading and then summarize what you were supposed to read in class the next day, her lectures were never too boring (and very helpful on those days that I did not read). She can assign a LOT of reading, but it's doable if you are good at scheduling your time.

Amazing professor! One of the books we used was a terrible read and therefore wasn't read... :) But if you read the chapters she assigns and take notes in class you will get an A. Otherwise a B or C. Take Gray

She is a wonderful professor. A few papers, mid-term, presentation, and a final. Attending class is mandatory. Always willing to help, very fair tests and definitely a good professor to take history with at WPI.

She's very helpful and interested in what you want to write about. She only does one draft, though. Make sure it's a good one. Other than that, it was a great experience. 20 page minimum, but definitely do your suff with her. You'll get something out of it.

Had her for A term in 04 and then immediately switched to all her classes for the rest of the year to fulfill my History req. Very easy, doesn't change her curriculum between courses. Almost always 2 exams, group project, and a paper. Attendance is key.

Awesome!! I never really liked history B4 but this class was actually pretty cool. There was, too me, quite a bit of reading but oh well. Prof. Gray really cares about her material and adds in her own experiences to help to relate to the material. Class consisted of an oral presentation, midterm,paper,and final. Attendance was taken so be there!

professor teaches with speech and very little use of white board; therefore very difficult to take notes. Easy grader with lots of input. Doesn't answer any questions, just gives information on the sources they can be found in.

I bought one of the books that was required, and indexed the other two when it came time for essays. Overall, being in a seminar course with her wasn't too bad. Classes got boring, but "group work" was a nice change. She's a pretty easy grader, and easy to talk to.

Comment:
There were 5 required books for this course, 3 of which I never read. Basically, if you go to class and pay attention, you'll easily grasp the concepts which will help because the exams have questions directly taken from lectures and discussions. Overall a good course taught by a nice professor.

I don't agree with all of the theories she teaches, but this is the only history class I've been able to turn in work that isn't bullshit. I actually got to write a report applying the theories from class to real world events of interest to me.

Class was boring, but all history classes are. A very nice teacher and easy grader. Take 'some' notes and I don't see how you couldn't get an A.
