Comment:
I think the problem people have with her is they are not willing to do anything above average. Dumont pushes people; when I was a freshman I took her history of Europe to WWI and got an A. She does play favorites sometimes, but it's for the people that deserve it. It's not that she is hard, but she expects you to do your job and pay attention.

DONT TAKE HER CLASS!!! She will just talk her head off the entire semester and expect you to know information she didnt even talk about while not giving a textbook. She will also make you write the worst papers you can imagine.

Awful! One of the worst lecturers I've ever had. No textbook, just her lectures to study from for tests. Should definetly give up teaching at college level.

Class wasn't fun. She talked wayy to fast. She always gave out pop quizes and started class early, so if you didnt get there 10 minutes before the hour your most likely marked absent. I highly suggest a different professor.

Dora is just annoying. She always takes attendance, gives pop quizzes, and yells at you if you go to the bathroom during class. She is ridiculous. Take someone else if you can. The class isn't too hard, just annoying.

Okay, first of all, the woman drinks from an empty coffee cup. Second of all, she is self-involved and she says that she wants you to have your own opinion - but only if it is the same as hers. I got an A on the midterm and final and a C in the class because I didn't suck up to her.

Comment:
Professor Dumont is a very intelligent person. She can occasionally be a bit encentric, but thats to be understood from a history buff. There are alot of books to read, and there is also a research paper that will encompass your entire semester. But the class is fun, and she is very approachable for help on the paper.

Comment:
She's condescending, you'll have to swallow your pride. The discussions go as follows: you say what you got from the reading, and then she tells you what you should have gotten from the reading. She doesn't discuss, she argues. Just wasn't a fun class for me. Interesting material, just needs to chill out abit.

She is rude to her students. Although she assists her students in research projects, she makes it hard to understand. She plays favorites and is biased when grading!

Comment:
smart teacher, somewhat eccentric. grading doesn't reflect assignments. 4 two page response papers, but papers must be your own thoughts which should be her thoughts. tests are a few multiple choice with hard essay questions. not an easy A gen-ed class like i thought. really keep up with readings, 5 or 6 pop quizes. brown nose, she plays favorites.

She’s a great teacher with a wonderful personality. The four, two page papers require a decent amount of thought and careful writing, but weren’t that bad at all. Do the reading, go to class and participate as much as you possible can and you’ll not only get the grade, but also learn A LOT.

Comment:
She is a really great teacher with extensive knowledge. Her class is demanding and boring at some times but if you want a class where you leave feeling like you have learned something this is the class for you. If you just are trying to fill a requirement, pick someone else. She is demanding. 4 papers, 2 tests, and many quizzes.

I agree with most people on here, she does pick favorites. She asks you to write papers based on what YOU think, but when you don't agree with what SHE thinks, you will get a low grade. Also, she takes points off for grammer errors (which annoys me because she is a history teacher). She also takes attendance frequently.

Comment:
Yeah to be honest the other kid said it, she has favorite students and if you are one of them like i was you get massive favoritism. But, it's easy to be on her good side all you have to do is argue with her in class. Seriously. Just wait for her to say her opinion and disagree with her. Easy stuff.

Dumont has favorite students. if you're not a suck up then the class will be really bad. on the syllabus it says nothing about quiz's yet we often have many pop quizzes which she expects us to be ready for. its a lecture class and i kinda hate it.

Comment:
I thought the class would be mind-numbingly dull but it really wasn't. She really makes it so you learn a lot. The essays aren't bad, and she's funny early in the morning when she cracks jokes no one understands. Only 2 tests for Western Civ so it's important to study but if you do it's an easy B.
