HISTORY20 . Martin J A 8 Years Ago

Her lectures are absolutely boring. She forces student participation in lecture and section. I thought the class would be interesting based on the description, but was I wrong. WOULDN'T recommend this class for anyone.

HISTORY 20 . Martin J A 8 Years Ago

They take attendance by assign writings on lecture. lecture and section participation made up 30% for this course. She treats students as if they are elementary schoolers, keeping forcing students to speak in lecture. Learned most of the materials from the readings rather than her lecture. Wouldn't recommend this course.

Besides attendance is mandatory, she also requests you to speak in section and LECTURE. She will call on you even you don't raise your hand in lecture. If you don't know the answer, she will "come back to you" later. I think she is too much on this aspect... Materials are ok. Lectures are nothing but reading notes conclusions for the book.

ES1 . Martin J A 9 Years Ago

Awesome professor! Makes the subject really interesting and is very approachable and helpful if you need it. I took this class over the summer so our midterm was a paper and our final was take home, and more of a series of writing assignments than a test. She's not an easy grader but she is definitely fair and gives good feedback.
