The class lectures a little dry and sometimes unhelpful, but the class discussions are pretty useful. A lot of reading, but they are a good way to retain the information from the class.

Comment:
She is the most boring lecturer I have had at Tufts by far. She talks very quietly and is hard to understand because she mumbles. Not engaging at all and assigns way too much textbook reading and the midterm essays and final are based on this reading. I wouldn't recommend this class to anyone.

Comment:
Professor Manz is really nice, knows her stuff, and is generally a fair grader. For History of Iran, she devoted half a class per week to group discussion, which helped the class get to know each other and was a nice break from lecture, which can be rather dry. Exams were short take-home essays and there was a 10-page original research paper too.

Comment:
She is a rough professor but a fair grader. All exams are take home and generally analytical essays. She'll help you and give you advice, but its still pretty hard. VERY INTELLIGENT, INTERESTING WOMAN. Hard hard class.

Comment:
Prof Manz is clearly very knowledgeable about nearly everything concerning the Middle East but for some reason decided to focus on the least interesting and most dense material. She's always available outside of class and very helpful, but the material is tough and not always worth while.

Not too easy. Lots of reading 50 -100 pages a class usually. Tries to make them interesting but often has trouble.

She runs a tough class, but par for the course for history. Tests and papers are fair, and material is interesting.
