we need more professors like her.. shes very nice and very helpful and makes class fun.. but you have to come to class!

The greatest teacher of all time...she has this great British accent she picked up while going to school in England, so her lectures are fun to listen to. She's extremely passionate and you can tell she loves what she's talking about. GREAT, class. I highly recommend taking her class!!!!

Excellent professor! She definately knows what she is teaching about-which makes the class that much more enjoyable and understandable. I highly recommend taking her class! She was so understanding, too. Very funny humor. Loved her!

Prof. Chapman is interesting, enthusiastic and fun. Knows a TON which can be intimidating, but uses powerpoint to teach mostly. If you want an easy class, don't take her, but if you want to learn, she's the prof. for it!

Dr. Chapman is one of the kindest and most helpful professors that I have had at GVSU. She is very understanding when you have difficulties with papers and she is willing to work with you in order to help you feel better about the assignment. She is very knowledgeable about history and she likes to share her enthusiasm with the class.

Best Professor I've ever had. She cares for individuals willing to put decent effort in. She wants each student to learn understand the material. She cares for each student almost as a mom, and develops a professor, student, relationship as the year passes, I know that I will be taking a class from her in the future if a history class is required

Dr. Chapman is the best prof I have ever had. Very passionate about her class. It makes learning fun. She makes lessons fun and entertaining. LOL. This was a great class and I actually learned alot!

Fabulous professor! Prof. Chapman is very passionate and knowledgeable about history. She is very dorky, but in a good way. Her exams are easy. Just fill in the blank, short answer, and sometimes an essay.She tells you the terms she wants you to know for the short answer and she really cares about how you do in the class.

Be weary of these "perfect" comments. Although she is very nice/dork/kind/helpfull the grading is not as relaxed. I maintained a B+ but with a lot of effort and sometimes frustrating grading styles on the essays. Overall, great lady but do not expect an easy A. Make sure essays are beyond perfect and very detailed. (marks down for minor things)

Not an easy class, but it's not a hard class either. She's a dork, but in a wonderful way. You shouldn't have a problem if you put a little effort in and write the papers and study from the study guides for each of her tests.

AMAZING teacher!

Dr. Chapman is by far the easiest clear teacher there is. If you do the terms for the test, go to class, and take notes. She basically hands you the test on a silver platter. Grades hard on papers but if you don't use "I" or "We" and can write, you are fine

Dr. Chapman is, by far, one of the greatest professors I've had yet! She always has a positive attitude and is excited about what she is teaching. So fun!

Good teacher, pretty funny as well. Tests are pretty hard but in class assignments and what not aren't bad at all. Papers are pretty easy too. She loves history- you can tell.

I LOVED Professor Chapman. She absolutely loves what she does and loves her students. She prepares you well for the tests which are not that hard to begin with. She grades a little harder on papers, but not too bad. She made this class more interesting than I ever thought it could be! Take her if you can!!

I LOVE prof. Chapman. I never had much interest in history but i always looked forward to going to her class. She is hilarious and makes the class very entertaining. Her tests do require some studying but overall it's totally worth it, she's very understanding!

If you don't know the material she assumes that you don't study and is degrading when you go talk to her in her office. Make sure you do a lot of studying.

Dr. Chapman is very knowledgeable, and extremely funny. She took the usually boring subject of history and made it fun. She is very negotiable with deadlines and test dates, which was nice. She does grade hard on the quizzes and exams though. I loved her class, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Professor Chapman is a great professor. She is really funny and nice, and she is also very willing to help on papers. It was hard work, but it was worth it and I learned so much.

Dr. Chapman was so interesting to listen to, and so enthusiastic about her subject! Every class period I learned something new and interesting, and she is especially helpful and understanding if you show that you are willing to put in the time to learn the subject matter. I would recommend her classes to anyone!

Dr. Chapman quickly became one of my favorite teachers. She is extremely helpful and passionate about what she does. She is a hard grader and expects a lot out of her students but that is no suprise if you are taking her for an upper level history class. I would recommend her for any personn with an interest in history.

Dr. Chapman is a very passionate professor who loves her job dearly making it much easier to get into the material.

Chapman is the COOLEST professor ever. She's very interested in helping you excel. I'm not a history person AT all, but I loved this course. Highly highly reccomend

Honestly the BEST professor I've EVER had. I'm not a history major but I'd take another history class if she taught it. Very passionate, VERY helpful outside of class and such a genuine and sweet person. The tests can be challenging but if you study, you'll do fine. It's a class worth taking just because she teaches it! Everybody loved her!

Dr. Chapman is fantastic! I also took her Medieval Europe class, and she's my favorite history prof at GVSU. She's always willing to work with you and very helpful! Her classes are engaging and you actually learn something. Highly recommended!

I've taken 2 classes with Dr. Chapman. She is the sweetest, most caring, and certainly one of the BEST professors. EVER. She is passionate and has a true talent for teaching and working with students. She is so intelligent, but so normal and kind. I am so impressed by her ease in the classroom. She is an inspiration and her passion is contagious!

She is the nicest lady you will ever meet! Super into everything that she is talking about and if you visit her office she actually helps you out a lot in any way you need, I loved her

LOVE LOVE LOVE Her. She is very helpful, really cares about her students, as long as you read and do the work you'll get a good grade! Had no interest in this topic but she made things interesting! Take her if you can!!!!

Dr. Chapman is AMAZING!!!!!!! Take her if you get the chance. She is full of energyy and fun. She explains the concepts very well. She is very helpful and very friendly. She gets to know all of her students by name. TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!

I loved her as a professor. She made history really fun and kept me entertained and interested the whole class. I made sure I read what i was suppose to and i was fine.

This professor changed the course of my education. Her lectures are thoughtfully laid out and contain a lot of information derived from her medievalist training and research. Working hard is a must (no easy grades here), but if you prove you are willing to put in the effort, she will do everything she can to help advance your academic career.

Dr. Chapman is so sweet and enthusiastic! She makes learning history fun and interactive. Her pop quizzes are kinda hard so make sure you do your reading, and she's kind of a hard grader on papers. But she's a great Prof, knows her stuff and is always willing to help.

One of my favorite profs. She is so energized and passionate about what she teaches it makes me a better student.

Extremely knowledgeable in her courses. Very intimidating at first. Expect a lot of reading and memorizing of facts and terms. I'd say this course is intended for those who are TRULY interested in European civilization and not just taking it for a gen ed, like myself.

Amazing professor! I was really nervous about the course at first but once I got a system going with my terms everything went well. Highly recommend! She makes history super interesting.

Funny but says her "W"'s oddly. tough grader, doesn't usually give above a C on her papers. Midterm wasn't bad though!

Professor Chapman is great! She is so motivational and makes history interesting for a non-history major. She is also so cute because she gets so passionate into her teaching. She is very understanding, friendly, and helpful towards her students. However, be prepared to study her quizzes can be a little difficult, especially her pop quizzes.

She is adorable and funny! I love her. The passion she has for teaching and just wanting to see her students do well, I've never seen anything like it. Her tests and quizzes are hard, you have to study cause they're mostly fill in the blank. TRUST her with your learning. She is VERY intelligent and also experienced. She studied at Yale and England.

Chapman is a great professor! You have to read a lot but the lectures can be interesting. She makes them interesting at least. The quizzes can be difficult but if you study the terms and take notes in class you'll be fine!

Excellent professor. One of the best I have ever had. The class is interesting, if you Ancient and Medieval European history. She does grade strictly on the papers, but its in an effort to make you a better writer. Always willing to work with the class to change dates of tests and papers due. She really wants you to learn, like a real teacher.

best teacher at grand valley, as long as you want to do well, you will!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Chapman! I wish I could take more classes by her. She is so friendly and she keeps the class interesting. You can tell she loves her job and she really takes the time to get to know her students. I would highly recommend her!!

She's SUPER Passionate about history. She loves her job and occupation. Difficult essays but exams and quizzes are easy. Reading is highly recommended and if you attend class you'll do fine!

I love history and I have always found medieval European history but I did not like the way this class was taught. 75 percent of the class lectures were related to religious material which I find boring. She could have spent time talking about castles, domestic life, warfare, and the black death. Also, she assigns four lengthy portfolios.

She is such a nice lady! She loves what she teaches and makes each lesson very interested. However, there are pop quizzes nearly every week and they are quite difficult. She's a strict grader so don't plan to bs anything. The class is tough but it is fun. Keep up on your readings and study the vocab words and it will make your life much easier.

She is incredibly passionate about her field. So much worldly knowledge and interest in history it's inspiring to listen to her. While there are many different topics in the course to keep you occupied, she does a great job connecting everything and tries to organize information so you have less confusion. The most enthusiastic teacher, love her!

Professor Chapman is honestly one of the best professors I have ever had. She is always in a good mood. Her enthusiasm and love of history really makes the material presented in class easy to understand and retain. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I really enjoyed having Professor Chapman. As someone who doesn't enjoy history very much, her enthusiasm and energy made this an interesting gen ed. In the beginning of the course, I was sort of surprised at the amount of work required in this class, since the majority takes it for a gen ed. However, the work isn't difficult if you put in effort.

Dr. Chapman is a wonderful women, she truly cares about all of her student. She is always looking for the BEST interest of you. If you are struggling with any of her homework assignments go and see her, she will work with you're schedule. I wish every teacher was as good as her!

Professor Chapman is a great person to have leading you through the course. She cares deeply about history and is passionate about helping students learn it as well. There are pop quizzes and it's a lot of reading but if you keep up you'll do fine. She is a pretty tough grader for a 100 level class but in the end it helps you do better. Recommend!

She is a good professor for this class. She is very passionate about the material and really cares about your grade. The lectures go by pretty quickly, and there are pop quizzes over the vocabulary, but she gives a heads up a class or two in advanced.

She is really passionate and cares about her students. It is very important to stay on top of the vocab in the textbooks. She is a tough grader when it comes to papers, so it is important to see her out of class to have her review your paper.

Prof Chapman is my favorite professor! She really cares about her students and is happy to help with anything at any time! She has two papers a semester each have to be one page long and then her exams are easy! She really makes history fun instead of boring and puts on a lot of videos.

Prof Chapman is a kind person and a very good teacher. She's incredibly knowledgeable on her topics and she's very passionate about her profession. That being said, she has very high expectations for her students and her assignments are very long and she grades them harshly. Unless you're going to specialize in her field, do not take her class.

She really knows the material and is very willing to help if it is needed. She does her best to keep the class engaged and in discussion and when the class is, it is more enjoyable.

I personally loved Dr. Chapman. She was by far the kindest woman I have ever met. Her class does require quite a bit of reading, but it's college so... She is clear on what she wants and if you are respectful to her, then she'll be respectful to you. She changed due dates if she saw students were stressed, so she really cares. Take her!

I loved taking this course with Professor Chapman. Initially, instructions and expectations weren't clear for assignments such as discussions. That is my only complaint. She loves what she teaches, seems to genuinely care for her students, and does her best to make lectures engaging. To be successful, attend, read, do assignments and participate.

I loved Chapman, she's super passionate and always willing to help her students out. She is a tough grader, but she always leaves super helpful comments that I feel really improved my writing. I wouldn't take her unless you are a history major, but overall she's probably my favorite professor.

Had her for HST495 and a thesis; she is SUPER smart and genuinely cares for her students, wants them to succeed and has a lot of connections outside GV to help them. She is always available to chat/for help but will challenge you to be the best you can be. Tough grader; would be best for HST majors only - take her if you're serious, not for gen eds

Prof Chapman is great. Very knowledgeable, passionate, and wants every student to succeed. I talked to her for a few minutes after most classes and we were quickly on good terms. Clear on what to expect, willing to help everyone, and lenient. I cant understand how people rate her poorly, put in even the minimum effort (hst 102) and youll do well

Very good. Does lecture a lot, but homework and reading load were very manageable for a 100 level class. Helpful if you have questions. Has a great knowledge of the material. Flexible with due dates.

Took them recently and they were super knowledgeable in everything they spoke about, sometimes even having been to many of the places and having first-hand experience with certain things. Very caring professor who was always trying to help us and wants to see you succeed!

Professor Chapman is so nice and understanding. She is very clear of what she expects and does anything she can to help you understand the material. However, for a general education class, I think it is a little harder than most classes I have taken. If you are not a history buff, I'd recommend a different class. But she is an awesome person.

Very passionate about the coursework and history itself. However, the slides and way of teaching was confusing, taking notes was hard. Quizzes every week, annoying at times. Highly recommend if you enjoy history, covers Great Famine to WW2. Memorizing dates/years isn't required. She's like your grandma who talks about history like she was there.

Professor Chapman is very knowledgeable, but the class is quite challenging. Do the readings, participate in discussions, and use resources like Unstuck ai to help with prep - it really makes a difference.

Professor Chapman has very clear expectations and schedules regarding quizzes, homework etc. There is a lot of reading and it can be a bit of work. If you do what she wants and communicate with her she is very understanding. She loves what she teaches

Dr. Chapman is very passionate. She grades hard, but she is a nice and caring professor. She comes off as tough, but she is actually really sweet if you do the reading and complete the homework. No phones allowed and attendance is mandatory.
