Despite the negative reviews, Professor Digeser is an incredibly intelligent and kind professor who wants you to learn. Grading expectations are clearly laid out, and she makes her lectures incredibly engaging. People are only complaining since she requires handwritten notes (which you can take into the midterm and final)

This is just the most boring and confusing class ive ever taken. She is not good at grounding you in history. If you zone off for a second you suddenly missed 100 years of history that you cannot find anywhere cause there is like 3 words of each slide. Terribly structured lectures. Possibly needs to be completely restructured. So so confusing.

Professor Digeser's class was a mixed bag - the content was interesting but the rigid structure and heavy workload made it a slog. Luckily, unstuck ai and ChatGPT helped me stay on top of the readings and essays.

Digeser wasn't the best professor, but she was pretty iconic. Her slides were unorganized, and she makes you take notes by hand, but the content was interesting. She assigned long readings from a textbook, but I still understood the content without doing the readings. If you don't mind taking hand-written notes, then this class isn't too bad.

if you dont have to take this class DO NOT take it. i respect her as she is passionate about her work but the TA's are tough graders and is so lecture heavy. i went to every single one and still didnt get atleast a B. SO much reading too, even my TA told us he had trouble keeping up. please dont take unless you actually need to.

Professor Digeser seems very passionate about the material she teaches. She was very well-spoken, although I felt that sometimes her lectures were a bit boring since her slides were pretty vague. To do well in this class, do the readings. Having the textbook as an extra source for your papers and discussions will help you succeed.
