Covers a lot of info in her class but very interesting! Has a French-American accent but easy to understand after a day or 2, your ears adapt. She's got a great sense of humor & is enjoyable to listen to. Make flashcards, go to class, do online HW.

Dr. Kefeli's class was one of the best I have ever taken because 1) it was easy 2) I genuinely learned a lot of information. She gives a few in-class quizzes, but tons of extra credit (200 pts. at least). All the work might seem intimidating but as long as you do the assignments she asks for, you will pass with ease.

Outstanding professor. She gives a metric ton of extra credit so there should be no worries with your grade. She is one of the sweetest professors i've known and is always open to helping students succeed. She truly cares about her work and it shows in her lectures. There's a load of books so don't wait for reading. Please be quiet in class :)

I took this class online. It is well organized, her lectures are interesting, and the exams/quizzes were all multiple choice and not very difficult as long as you do all the readings as well as using her supplementary workbook. Takes up a decent amount of time, but is an easy A if you do the work and study. I definitely recommend her!

My history 100 class felt more like a religion 100 class. If I wanted to learn about religion with history sprinkled in I'd take a religion class. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Religion and history are incredibly interconnected, but I took this class to learn history, not the intricacies of religions.

The book used isnt even a real textbook its more of a series of articles, crosswords for vocabulary words, coloring, matching games and lecture notes. You wont use 80% of it and its something she wrote herself. The class seems to be more about religion than history which makes it a little frustrating when I was expecting to focus on history.
