I loved Professor Delton. She is one of the smartest people I have ever met, and she is so passionate about history and teaching history. She is willing to engage with students points of view, but always gets the last word. Go to her office hours shes great to be around.

She is a very, very smart professor. Classes are very discussion based, come prepared and ready to debate. Dont try to debate her though, you will lose, although she is very courteous and respects you if you can back up your argument. Great professor, but be prepared to handle a heavy workload...

I took Professor Delton's Human Dilemmas first year seminar and loved it. She really challenged me and led me to think creatively. She made me work hard but I definitely improved. This class made me so excited for my continued liberal arts education. Delton is so smart and will really get you thinking.

Comment:
I can't speak for all of her classes as I've only taken the one, but instead of "American History Since the Civil War" it should have been called "Jennifer Delton's view of American Politics since the Civil War". What others have said about her bias is completely true.

Very biased professor. Asked another professor in the history department who said I'd probably fail a class with her, (i got an A with the first professor) but you know what, she was right!

Comment:
the more classes i have taken with her the less i enjoy them. Of all the history professors she is the most set in her interpretation. When you write papers they have to come to the conclusion she wants to hear or you get bad grades. Classes can be interesting but still biased towards favorit students

Comment:
Professor Delton is amazing. Her classes are always very interesting and she lets discussions go wherever the class takes them. She can be a tough grader but she's very fair. She knows everything about her subject and let's her own biases slip in sometimes but that just makes discussions even better! Definitely take a class with her.

She's not easy but if you do the reading and try hard she's really fair. She leads good discussions and is open to your ideas even if she doesn't agree with them. It's easy to tell who she likes and doesn't like but...well it's college. I like her a lot and her class is my favorite class this semester.

Comment:
delton accused me of having a far-right political agenda in class once. this was not true, and it was unprofessional for her to say that in front of nearly 20 people. i enjoyed the subject matter we covered, but i was in no rush to take any other classes she was teaching.

Haaaaaaaard. read my lips. she. is. tough. i had asked my advisor (who was the toughest professor i had taken a course with until then) how tough she was, and he said she was tough, and he was right. do the reading or she will humiliate you. very intelligent, will help you be very intelligent too, if you do the reading and the work.

Prof Delton has been my favorite professor at Skidmore. She will only give you a good grade if you demonstrate that you have given a lot of thought and attention to your papers and exams. She provokes really insightful discussions. I wish more professors at Skidmore expected what she did-- we'd all be better off.
