Historical instructor
Original student reviews · all captured dates
Avoid this class if you need a healthy, interactive learning experience. The course description got my attention, but I was let down by the overall atmosphere of the classroom. It was awkwardly quiet between her tangential lectures and questions about historical events that she either lived through or knew more about than the average student.Rate My Professors ↗
(Spring 2020-2021) The readings in this course were pretty enjoyable but the professor had no slideshows. The lectures were more like discussions which I believe made the class harder (because you almost had to teach yourself what was going on in the novels). The average pages we read was 100-150 before each lecture. Make sure to participate!Rate My Professors ↗
I found this class incredibly boring, and even harder to stay focused with 75 minute lectures. Just to go home and read anywhere from 50-100 pages for the next class. Only 4 things in the gradebook: 2 5-page essays(25% each), a 10-page essay(30%), and attendance(20%). Prompts for essays are minimal, so lots of quotes and outside sources required.Rate My Professors ↗
First lecture was a red flag when she didn't even go over the syllabus, this continues through out the course as the structure of the class is just nonsense. be prepared to find out your grade at the end of the semester. Lectures are monotone and everyone is basically just doing something else on their computer as she rambles.Rate My Professors ↗
Lectures are just her rambling, not clear on what is expected for assignments, unless someone is brave enough to ask, and if you do ask she will answer but not very clearly, and go as far as to make you feel stupid for doing so. Super cool lady with great experiences and stories, just not meant to be a professorRate My Professors ↗
Interesting class that she brought unique insight to, but very unclear on grading.Rate My Professors ↗
