Strictly tested in line with lectures, which are a direct transplant of textbooks. She knows her material, but do not challenge her.

This is the second 2000-level class I've taken with Dr. Neville, and I really enjoyed it. Her lectures are long but really specific, so make sure to go. Do the tutorial readings! She's really accessible and make sure to take advantage of her help!! She looks over papers!! Send her rough draft and she'll tell you how to make it better!

Neville knows her stuff. She knows how to lecture. I loved attending her class and she is more than willing to sit down with your paper before you hand it in to edit with you. Though she expects good work.

Intimidating, but very nice when you ask for help. Willing to read over your papers before the due date. She honestly wants her students to become better writers, about history or any topic, and it shows. Well-structured lectures. I will definitely take more courses from her.

Wonderful professor. You can tell she loves teaching and has been doing it for a long time. She's funny too, even though she seems intimidating at first. She is very approachable and loves to help her students succeed. I was not a fan at all of the TA; I had to haggle with her to give me the grades I deserved.

Comment:
A lovely woman and a fantastic lecturer. However, her exams rely heavily on rote memorization rather than testing your understanding of the material. I'm not just talking about dates and names (which is to be expected in a history course). Her TA choice for paper marking can be hit or miss.

Professor Neville is one of those Profs who keep you engaged and interested. She seems very serious at first but she is actually very approachable and helpful. Her classes are also very well organized (easy to follow and thus, easy to be successful). Great Professor!

Amazing professor who knows her stuff; very helpful, clear, comprehensive and willing to answer any questions thrown her way. You have to make sure you're paying attention and attend class in order to do well, but this class is a breeze if you do both.

Excellent and interesting lecturer. Extremely helpful, she`s even given me suggestions for research for another class. Although she is strict on deadlines, she does listen to student feedback to improve classes. I would take all my classes from her if I could.

Wow. Get her talking Scottish history especially and like a wind up just watch her go. But she knows more than anyone does about this class. Small and scary intimtidating prof, but if you need help she practically go's to the library shelfs with you!

This is not a prof with whom you can sit back and breeze through her courses. Her classes require a lot of hard work, but it is well worth it in the end. Dr. Neville is arguably one of the best profs at Dal; she is an excellent lecturer and is always available to her students.

At first she seems intimidating. Your paper will come back with more of her writing on it than yours, but if you've gone to her for help and show some improvement and dedication you can't help but get a good mark in her class. Awesome prof, she's made my writing improve immensely.
