Her lectures blow-they are so hard to follow, she doesn't stay on what she says she's going to do. Focuses soo much on Britain/London b/c that's where her studies are but it totally changes the course. Get a good TA

If you're looking for an easy A, then take her class. I stopped going to lecture after the second week 'cuz I could not take any more of her disorganized ramblings on pottery and feminism (btw, I'm a girl). Overall, this woman just cannot teach!

Very organized and themed lectures. Deviates on boring tangents sometimes. No website unfortunately. Good professor overall though.

Her tests have hard essays and her lectures can get a little boring, but an overall good teacher who doesn't assign too much reading.

Great professor who is clearly very passionate. Sometimes this leads to her going off topic and rambling in lectures, but generally they are very good. Graded on in-class midterm with cheatsheet, project with lots of options, 5 forum posts, and take-home final. She really cares about her students and is a pretty easy grader if you try.

For HIST193P. What an amazing and caring professor. 10/10 would take a class with her again. Course material was really interested. Class was graded on weekly reading question, in person midterm, group project, and final take home project. She respects her student's opinions and feedback, really wants to see students succeed in class. semi-easy A.

took this class for my PISJ minor, very easy!!! There are some basic world history aspects to it that make it boring sometimes, but most lectures were very interesting! So many opportunities for extra credit and exams were take-home. Dr. Rappaport is such a sweetheart, she wants everyone to have fun with learning. 10/10 class and professor.

Overall, if you put in some effort into the class, then you'll pass with an A. There were a lot of readings, but if you reach out to her, she'll work with you to find a middle ground. Graded by participation in discussion posts, midterm paper, project (could do it in a group), and final.

Great professor. She provides a variety of opportunities for extra credit. She is there to lecture, not to make the class content or assignments difficult. She is very great about emailing back and fairly fast. There are a lot of assigned readings but they're all free I believe and they are all very relevant to the content of the course.

Her lectures were really great, but to be honest I hated the majority of the readings. Felt like there was little space between papers. Tons of extra credit opportunities, which was a major plus.

Rappaport is easily in my top 3 best professors I have had at UCSB. and I have been here for 5 years. She cares about her students and is very understanding. Her class is not tough and she makes it very interesting to learn about British history. She is super awesome and is willing to work with her students in a positive way. Take her class!!

Prof Rappaport is so caring & bubbly, she really wants students to do well in her class. There is a lot of reading. However, she takes the time to help out students during office hours if they are struggling with the material. Lectures are fun & engaging too. I'm not a history major & only taking this class as an elective but I'm enjoying it so far

Hist. 124 was an enjoyable course! No tests, 3 essays (two short papers and one 6-8 page paper), reading journal, and participation. Rappaport is a fair grader and gives great feedback - she wants to help you and see you succeed! She also encourages students to pursue their interests and gives plenty of opportunities to play around with research.

Would definitely recommend this class. She is very enthusiastic about the class and the subject matter. Her lectures were enjoyable and interesting and she brought food to the final. There is a lot of reading but the course it well organised. 2 Essays, a final (with a cheat sheet) and 1 small field work paper.

Took her for Food History and loved it! Great class and she teaches it really well. Very clear course - 1 final no midterm and 2 papers. Do the supplemental readings and go to class and you'll be fine. Not necessarily taught chronologically but still logically. Would take again!

Actually a somewhat hard class. Professor Rappaport is a harsh grader. Attended all classes, did all the readings, and struggled with the class

Take this course! A great upper div even if you aren't a history major. Two essays, project, and final. Fair grader. Interesting lectures and relevant, current material.

Excellent Professor I am planning on taking another class with her. She is very passionate at her job and very interesting in her lectures. By far my favorite teacher at UCSB so far

Rappaport is a good preofessor. Gives extra credit opportunities, no midtem but you do four papers 2 short 2 long. She is passionate so thats good! she is not an intense grader either so the papers aren't a nightmare. ovrerall I liked her!

Great Professor. Very very helpful and will do all she can to help her students succeed. The writing assignments are relevant and graded very fairly. Lots of reading but hey its a history course!

She is a fantastic professor! She is very interested in the topic and her enthusiasm is inspiring. There is a lot of writing in this course, but it is all based on the reading and she is a fairly easy grader. I cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic lady and an even better teacher. Extremely nice, but also very engaging. Willing to work with you about extensions as long as she can tell you are a dedicated student. Takes great pains to make lecture interesting and also to ask student opinion, can't recommend her highly enough

Such a great professor. She makes the topics interesting and easy to grasp. She is so easy to approach and cares so much about her students. I can't wait to take more classes from her.

She is an amazing professor! You can tell that she is passionate about her subject, and loves to share what she knows with her students. Her main focus is on the cultural aspects of Britain society, which is a nice change to the normal and sometimes boring traditional British history. Not much reading except for the 2 novels she assigned.
