She has very interesting information about history. She likes to keep a C average in the class.

if you miss class, her powerpoints online does not help at all. totally useless.

Nice lady. However was very academic. Pay attention in her class because she takes her tests from her lectures.

Midterm had insanely hard questions. This was the only upper division history test I didn't get at least a B plus on. Then she wondered why we did so poorly (mean was low 70s) after asking obscure questions. Lectures leave much to be desired and focus too much on Byzantine court struggles and religion, she only spent 5 minutes on the Gallic War!

Class was extremely boring and the tests focused on seemingly insignificant historical facts

I didn't really enjoy Digeser as a lecturer, sometimes it takes her awhile to get across what's she's trying to say. The class is easy, and you do NOT need to read the book AT ALL. Make sure you throughly review all the pictures she uses in her powerpoints for the midterm and final. My TA was amazing so i got a good grade. Overall, an easy class.

Good professor, really likes Roman and Greek history. Always excited and enthusiastic even at 9AM in the morning. Class is sort of hard since you cover 5000 years of history in about 10 weeks. Like most professors don't except to fall in love with her in a 450 person lecture. Very helpful in putting materials online.

She wasn't that bad, but you can tell that the information you are responsible for is all written down on her outline, but she goes off of it on random tangents that there is no need for you to know. One TA substituted her class and when Digeser normally runs out of time, she got through all info in 20 min. Says "um" A LOT

very hard

Her teaching style is very clear and as long as you're there for every lecture you definitely pick up on what she's going to test you on.

She is the most boring lecturer ever. I've never fallen asleep in a class so much as in this one.

I know this professor has had really bad reviews but I greatly enjoyed the UD class on Late Antiquity I took w/ her. She really enjoyed the subject and gave a packed but interesting and well structured lecture. I found her v. helpful outside the classroom, she was v. flexible. Really knows her stuff. Great for UD classes.

you're just a bunch of stupid kids and lazy asses. readings are just like stories, so easy stuff, no need to read at lenght, and overall she's an OK prof, lectures are clear
