I took this class, liked the prof, tracked her down and she wrote an excellent letter of recommendation for me! ( I assume, since I got the internship) two years later!Rate My Professors ↗

Class was difficult. Lectures were fun. Prof provided outlines ahead of time, which was extremely helpful. Pretty funny if you're paying attention to her.Rate My Professors ↗

Bad teacher. Jumps around 2 much for a history class and u have to buy 3 books for a book report only 1 of which you do a report on. The exams are take home. I decided 1/2 way through the class not 2 go 2 lecture and ended up getting a 91 on the first exam without reading any books. This is my first rating just 2 tell ppl not 2 take her class.Rate My Professors ↗

Just don't do it. There are 4 books you have to read cover to cover and her lectures are completely jumbled, impossible to follow and not correlated with the books you have to read (about 100+ pages a week (which are also nonsense)). It's painful and boring and takes up way too much of your time, especially if this is not related to your major.Rate My Professors ↗
