Comment:
A brilliant historian and a pretty good teacher to boot. Anyone that gives her a less than 3.0 rating doesn't like history or didn't try in her class and got a bad grade. Trust me I have had her for three classes, everyone that likes her actually tried in her class. If you do not understand something, ask her after class, she will help you.

Comment:
The first ever class I attended in the USA. I loved it! I liked discussing issues in the class, and her enthusiasm was a great help. Just keep on top of your work and you should sail through the class. I actually topped one of her tests, even though I was not a history major!!!

Great teacher overall. You can tell she is genuinely interested in what she teaches, and she is very thorough! She has a very likable personality and teaches well. You will definitely leave that class with a thick binder of detailed notes if you pay attention

Willing to help any student. She'll read your papers and send you suggestions on what to fix. Also, she is willing to meet with you even if it's not during her office hours. The reason I picked up a history double major.

Comment:
She is very hard. She doesn't keep you at her wave length. Her classes are extremely boring and she doesn't try to involve the students. Students who do not like memorizing notes will not do well in this class. She also keeps you in class way past it is over.

Very knowledgeable and helpful instructor. There is a lot of reading in her courses but if you take the time to look at the material and review everyday, you'll do fine. Very helpful with essays. Ask her for help often and you won't regret it!

The teacher refuses to do any work for herself. She does not return work promptly and asks unfair tasks of her students. she is careless towards the class as well as the students. She also refuses to listen to any of the problems her students are having in the class. Very very surprised she received an award.

I can see that the honors profs or studs have gotten together to improve the ratings of the worst profs (see hares-stryker too). Sorry nerdos, mcdaniel is still not a good teacher. She may be smart but she doesnt know how to teach.

What an amazingly gifted and genuine human being. She's both a scholar and a friend--that's really a rarity. I don't recall memorization being a major focus in her course at all, but after taking in her lucid and inspiring lectures, I found that I WANTED to have all of those facts at my command as well. One of MC's best.

Comment:
A profoundly talented educator who has that rare quality of balancing intellectual passion with a true sense of investment in the development of her students. Anytime a student encounters a professor like Katy, he/she should be prepared to actually work hard and learn well; that is, after all, the required point of pursuing an education, kids.

This is one of my favorite professors. She's wonderful at dispelling the often liberal media history of high school and bringing instead the true history that everyone should read. She's involved, available, and caring. Definately one of the best professors I've ever had.

I cant believe they gave her a teaching award. She is so full of herself that she doesnt care if we learn anything. who wants to just memorize all the time?

Comment:
I hated this class. What a waste of time for a non-history major. I spent so much of my semester on this class and it's so hard that you spend too much time just cramming information in your head that you get very little out of it. I really regret taking this class..if youre looking for a gen ed, dont get it here.

She is very helpful if you go see her outside of class, but in class not so much because she gets so excited *constantly shakes her head* that she moves so fast. But it is nice to meet a teacher that has a passion for what she does!
