She's very interested in what she teaches and is extremely helpful if you go to her office hours. It's a lot of reading and note taking, but you learn a lot in her class if you can make connections with what she says. Her focus is in Russian history, so any class you have with her might revert back to that a bit, but she covers everything you need.

She is awesome, very friendly, and knows what she's talking about. have had her for multiple classes and she is super helpful and smart. learned a lot in this class and she has a lot of firsthand experiences to supplement her knowledge of the subjects she teaches, especially in Soviet history. Lecture and readings v interesting, she is the best!

Prof Edgar is clearly knowledgeable and passionate about the material. But, the lectures are often disorganized and hard to follow, and you're expected to memorize a lot for the in person midterm and final, even if it was barely covered or not covered at all in class. Not the worst professor, but definitely frustrating and not very helpful

Passionate about 20th cent Euro History, and she lived through a lot of what she taught which was a cool perspective. Graded on in-class midterm and final (no cheat sheet) with ID passages from readings and essays, and 1 take-home paper. Lots of readings, but if you go to class and take good notes you can get by with skimming them. Loved this class
