Comment:
Kanter was difficult right off the bat. It doesn't matter if you write a good paper or a bad paper, you'll never get positive feedback from her. There's always something wrong with your work. She has no interpersonal skills and I was ready for the class to end after two weeks.

Show up to class and follow instructions on papers and you should be able to get a 3. She expects a lot of class participation and your grade will be effected if you dont participate.

Comment:
This prof will make you wish you'd gone to Community College. She is everything awful about college all in one small package. She is rude and doesn't care about other's perspectives and she grades fairly difficult on papers. I'll throw her a bone and admit she is willing to help and meeting with her will improve your grade.

Terrible teacher, the notes she makes you copy down are all over the place. She makes the learning environment very uncomfortable and expects you to have prior knowledge of Latin America before you join the class. Never again

Comment:
Dr. Kanter will get you through it academically, but she doesn't stimulate an engaging environment. Our class had an awkward environment, and she contributed to this. In a discussion based class, she always had to have a say, often times in a negative way. She's a nice lady, and I don't think she tries to be rude, but she comes over this way.

Comment:
She is a tough professor, however, you can be successful as long as you attend class, do the reading, and participate. She is rather biased but you just have to get on her good side by participating in class and asking how you can improve. The class was interesting and she is helpful to students as she offered to read the intro to my paper.

Come to class prepared and you will do fine. If you don't read and skip often, she will chew you out for it. She makes the class interesting for anybody, regardless of your major.

Comment:
Extremely&unnecessarily rude, disrespectful,& condescending.Gives no explanation for harsh grading, plays favorites, &will find something wrong with virtually any student comment regardless of its accuracy or insight.Accuses of plagiarism on a whim.Stimulates absolutely no interest in the field if one had no prior inclination towards it.Worst ever.

Comment:
In class, she can be slightly abrasive and stubborn, but she knows an astounding amount about her field (latin american culture/history) and is very helpful in teaching the fundamentals of becoming a historian. Shes helped me get an internship and scholarship, and is probably my favorite professor. Shes also my advisor.

Comment:
This professor is terrible. Her grading methods are questionable, and I have never seen a doctor, much less the head of a department be so condescending to their students. I felt like a five year old in her class. Everything she says is demeaning to her students. BE FOREWARNED, do not take this professor if it can be avoided.

Oh Dr. Kanter. She's a smart woman, although she has a hard time with others' opinions, sometimes. Still, I really have enjoyed all that I have taken away from her class and that is what matters. She's a cool lady, give her a try.

Never had her in class but because she likes to attend extracurricular activities she recommended me to an opening she knew of in Illinois. I received a call from the company and landed the job the next day. I can't thank her enough for her help!

This woman is extemely awful! She is rude to her students and even the ones with the intelligent answers, she ALWAYS has to have a say, which is always negative. She puts her students on the spot and makes them feel extremly idiotic.

Comment:
She is knowledgeable about history, particularly Mexican-American history, but that doesn't matter. She is rude, doesn't respect students' comments, and grades papers hard. She doesn't care about any personal problems and won't believe you when you talk to her outside of class.

Should be voted Worst Professor at Albion College. She favors her students, not receptive to your comments, and then overall makes you feel worthless. This class isnt worth taking.

Very good professor, dedicated and willing to help students. I highly recommend taking her classes. Yes she loves Mexico and Latin America. But Mexico is our neighbor to the south and the US has Latino population is 70% Mexican. Great Class!!
