HIST121C . Bernstein H J 10 Months Ago

She is nice and good at explaining things, but she grades pretty hard. Although, you can get extra credit through doing extra papers (which you will most likely have to do). I am usually an A student on essays and other wiring assignments so I was taken a step back. Lectures are not too interesting, and would have to force myself to go.

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 2 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 2 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 2 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.

HIST121D . Bernstein H J 3 Years Ago

Have taken several classes by her. Super nice and patient and always accessible any time you have questions. Clear instruction and organization. For upper-division classes, there is a short paper 3-5 pages due every week, but you only need to do 3 or 4 of them, and any extra would add to your total grade. Exams need good notes and reading.
