You can tell she really cares about what she is teaching, very enthusiastic. Lots of reading, but as long as you stay on top of it and go to lecture it's definitely not so bad.

Very interesting class. Abstract though. would only recommend for history majors and those who are used to upper division history. Papers and midterms are hard.

She's very passionate and loud for such a little woman, but the class was extremely boring. If you're interested in current events and the historical reasoning behind them and i mean REALLY interested then take the class. There were 2 papers, and essays for both the midterm and final.

Dope class take Hist 5

Great person and scholar who truly cares about her students. Doing the reading and paying attention in lecture really are necessary, if you want to do better than a C. Paper prompt was a little vague, otherwise she is totally clear about her message and her expectations. Definitely recommended for hist majors and others interested in the subject.

This class was amazing because we got to study current events (such as the war in Iraq) and compare them to events in the past. It was very inciteful, and Prof. O'Connor is a great lecturer, and there were weekly guest lecturers that were good as well. The class does require alot of reading, but it's worth it.

She is fully dope and extremly intellegent I learned a lot in her class stick with sister carrie esp women would take anything from her

The best professor I've ever had. Definately would take more classes with her. She's so passionate and cool! I looked forward to every class and sat up front. Throughly entertaining. Class is a little difficult but interesting.

She's cool peeps, she offer extra credit, and she gives better grades than the TAs.

Amazing professor. She's passionate and it really shows through. Interesting and entertaining lectures. Class begins with the 1920's and goes through the present. There is a lot a reading, but for the most part it's all pretty interesting. Only one 5-8 page paper.

Awesome teacher, very approachable and knowledgable..best history class here! she loves to dance and gets dissapointed if we dont dance along! so make sure to get up and do the YMCA in the 8th week! SOOO FUN and I have learned soo much!! Best history professor here!

Great teacher. So animated and loves what she is doing. Its hard to find teachers as passionate as she is. Class is so informative and pertains to everyday life!

Amazing professor...lectures were awesome...very highly recommended...she is a great orator and is totally not boring at all...best prof ive had yet

She is still the BEST professor I've had at this campus. Her love for history is contagious and her lectures are not to be missed. They are exciting, fun and of course educational. Take a course with her! The Readings are great!
