Although she was good at explaining things in a way the students would understand, she would use a lot of profanity during her sections which got to a point. She was also a bit of passive aggressive and would pick on people during section.
She's a great TA who is funny, caring, wants you to succeed in this class and give you many opportunities to do so just communicate with her and she'll try to accommodate to your needs.
Awesome TA - made section super interesting and funny while actually clarifying concepts.
It's very obvious that Janna really cares about both the material and her students. She can be a pretty tough grader and sometimes can be unclear as to what exactly she is looking for. That being said she offers great feedback and is always willing to offer extensions and speak with students. Be prepared to do your work and you should be fine.
Janna is absolutely wonderful in this class, making it very easy for students to understand historical methodology and writing through her humor and relatability. Her assignments were constructed in a way that forces you to prepare for your final paper, making the whole process at the end of the quarter relatively pain free and less stressful.
You can really tell that Ms. Haider puts a lot of effort into her lectures and is incredibly knowledgable on the content area she teaches. She clearly holds leftists viewpoints, which isn't bad obviously, but as an educator, I think that she should at least try to be a bit more discreet about her personal take on things. Still recommend though !!!
Don't take her class if you are not w*ke enough.
This is not a good class if you want to train your critical thinking skills.
Janna is the best! I took her for the entire 17 series as a polsci major and switched to history because of her. I was able to find what I was passionate about. She is incredibly knowledgable, brilliant, and passionate about the topics of the course. She often brought things in that professors didn't talk about. sometimes we had lectures in section
Janna is an incredible teacher. She made complicated content accessible and understandable. She's always happy to talk to you and is super accommodating with times she's available. You will learn so much, absolutely take any class you can with her.
Janna was fantastic. The course was clear and defined. She set aside offie hours to approve our final project and was happy to work with us at any point. She's super accommodating. If you didn't do well in the class, it wasn't from a lack of effort on her part. She wants you to succeed and gives you every opportunity to.
Fair amount of homework, but the narrative of the whole course is highly biased. I would say this is not a college history class but political propaganda.
