HIST4B . Bernstein H J 3 Years Ago

She is very passionate about what she teaches which helps because her lectures are extremely informative and clear. So long as you do the assignments and participate in section you should be on your way to an easy pass!

HIST4B . Bernstein H J 3 Years Ago

His 4B was definitely not the hardest class ever but personally the content is a little hard to get into. Depending on your TA the papers can be graded really harshly. Would recommend the professor but maybe not the class if you're not interested in medieval history.

HIST4B . Bernstein H J 3 Years Ago

This class was very straightforward. Professor Bernstein's lectures were very organized and clear. There was lots of reading, a forum post every week, two midterm essays, and a take-home final. The guidelines were clear and if you go do the reading and go to office hours for help when needed you'll do okay. Not an easy GE but not too bad either.

HIST4B . Bernstein H J 3 Years Ago

Professor Bernstein is super knowledgable about the material she teaches. She lectures in this slow, clear, articulate way that I've never heard any other professor use. Lots of reading for the class, and the material can get dense, but she is very patient and accessible.

HIST4B . Bernstein H J 7 Years Ago

The lectures were pretty boring because of her monotone voice and just doesn't really make the material all that enjoyable. Especially since you have to read. Textbook is not the main thing to read for this course, just stick with the reader and that will definitely help you out.

HIST4B . Bernstein H J 7 Years Ago

This class can get dull and boring. Sit close to the front so you won't get distracted. Bernstein is a pretty good professor. She posts lecture notes on gauchospace, so don't worry if you miss class. Going to office hours can be helpful, but you better have a TA that grades not too harsh. I got a C- and a C on my papers, shoulda been B's.
