The class is alright, however, the professor as far as lectures goes covers a lot in one day, and very easy to follow.

Excellent! Her lectures were so well organised and clear. The subject matter gets a little tedious when it all focuses on religion, but that isn't her fault. She's very helpful. Go to her office hours, she seems interested in getting to know her students. I love this class!

When I came into UCSB, I was a Biology major. After taking this class...I have dropped all of my chemistry, biology, physics, and math....and have become a history major. She is by far the most helpful professor on campus.

Very clear lectures, a lot of readings though. The assigned books aren't too bad, neither are the two paper assignments. She's very helpful. The tests are somewhat difficult, especially the IDs. She gives you five potential essays to study then puts two or three of them on the test. Would suggest her to anyone, great class.

Professor Bernstein is awesome! Good use of slides and music to complement reading assignments. Pretty interesting speaker most of the time (even with somewhat mundane subject matter).

She uses visual aids to help make the lectures entertaining. I would recommend this class if you are interested in Medieval/ Renaissance studies. Readings are relivant and interesting. A little harder than if you are looking for an easy "A." She starts lectures on time, be there a few minutes early

Professor Bernstein is one of my favorite professors. She assigns a lot of readings, but taking 4b with her is worth it. You have to do the readings and go to class to get a good grade on the tests. The lectures are usually pretty entertaining. I plan to take more of her classes in the future.

Great! Very committed to presenting the material in an understandable way so as to gain our interest. Very helpful with the papers, and any questions about the class. Frequently extends office hrs. Even postphoned the due date of one of our papers. Tests sorta hard.Interesting stuff. loves teaching
