No Comments

really liked her class. very fair. nice lady

Tough grader, looks for details but overall great history prof. also kinda borin

Nice Lady

Knows her subject very well. Great lecturer. One of the best at Pace.

Do not take her! She makes you way too much work and expects you to memorize every detail! She's really nice but come on...we've got other classes too. The textbook is thicker than 3 normal ones.

2 EXAM, A RESEARCH PROJECT, GROUP WORK, AND A FINAL. GREAT LECTURER, BUT EXAMS MUST HAVE EVERY SINGLE DETAIL. MAKES U EARN UR A

Her Lectures are very interesting. She gives you exactly what is on the test. Overall she is very nice and knows her stuff.

VERY HARD grader... ANAL-wants u to memorize EVERYTHING.... Heartless Grader

Excellent class, you will learn the topic and be able to write and talk about the topic. Teacher can be fair and flexible also. Would recommend.

I am a history major and she is my advisor she made me want to change my major. She acts like an english teacher when it comes to papers.

Excellent teacher, knows her stuff and made it interesting. Easy to do well if you know your information. My favorite teacher so far.

Excellent teacher,extremely knowledgeable.

Professor Blumberg was great. A little boring but to the point. Her grading is fair. She wants you to read this stuff remember it and show her word for word that you actually did the work. Very well spoken. DO NOT wait until last minute for help. :)

tough but fair, you'll really learn the material whether you want to or not.

She knows her history. You will learn a lot....But a very hard grader.

she is a great teacher as long as u go to class and do your work. Her tests are not that bad but work needs to be done.

Boring as hell.

great teacher. really knows her history. if you want to learn and get a good grade take her. strongly reccomend

Decent teacher. She really knows her history. you must read chapters to get a decent grade. she's not mean or boring she just expects you to do what your told to do. Take good notes and you might do better. Hard grader but you'll learn.

Very hard grader... Good professor... Knows her stuff... You will learn in this class...

tells you EVERYTHING that will be on the test a week before hand- its impossible to fail a test! class is very boring but she is a great teacher

best history professor. really knows her stuff. she grades tough but if you study youll get an A

she can get a little boaring just make sure you take notes. Its not hard if you do the work. the telling you sixty things to study and only having ten on the test got annoying but it wasn't that bad. write exactly what she wants on the essay.

She is a very tough grader however, if you are willing to work hard, you will do decent although not an "A". Her tests are exactly as on the study sheet but you need a ton of information to get full credit.

She is an excellent teacher, you will learn a ton, but no matter how hard you work you will not receive the grade you deserve, so be warned.

If you are a full-time student, then avoid her at all costs. It will be impossible for you to get an A in her class AND do well in 3-4 other classes unless you don't work, don't have a social life, and read all day. Her lectures are so boring. AVOID!

hard work - be sure to study and read - presentation books to read outside- expensive class to take have to buy like 6 books - lectures are boring but informative

I don't why everyone else doesn't like her. This teacher was one of the best history teachers I have ever met. She may be a hard grader but you actually learn something in her class. She tells you exactly what will be on the exams so there really isn't any reason to complain.Very interesting class.

zzzzzzzzz im getting sleepy very sleepy

Go to class ready to take ALOT of notes! Fairly easy grader but very clear. She assigns a lot of work

She is very clear on her materials.. But you should expect to work hard for a reasonable...She has a lot of expectable from her students...WORKS,WORKS,WORKS

she is the best history prof. shes not as hard as everyone makes her out to be. as long as you come to class and study hard you should get a good grade.

I also don't know why people aren't fond of her. Of course, she'll speak slowly, she's not the youngest professor out there.Besides those that are bored, she'll let you sleep anyway. On the other hand, it's easy to keep up with her. She's very sweet and understanding. A great class to take.

very smart women. Hard grader when it comes to grammer and content. Its a little hard to write as she gives her lectures, but you learn a lot about the subject. Very clear in what is expected of you.

Very nice prof but she expects a lot from you. Definitely knows her stuff but you must take notes and read the history texts to do well on essay-type exams.

one of the best his profs. stop complainging people. she gives you what you deserve. take notes and do your wor. and you should do just fine. an A is very possible

Took her in the spring. She can be tough on grammar in her papers. Plus looks for a lot of details on tests, but overall she's a great professor. Nice and understanding.

Essentially she's an English professor-disguised as a historian. You learn a lot, but she's extremely hard on grammar. Doesn't really appreciate your historical arguement if it's written with poor punctuation.Although, I learned a lot from her last spring, I would only recommend her for extremely good writers.

Everyone has mixed feelings about Dr Blumberg. The workload is doable if you DON'T take her as part of an 18 crs. semester. I agree that her grading is harsh, but people in my class did get A-'s and A's. If you really listin to her, she's interesting and definitely worth your tuition. So don't be hesitant and give her a try. You may NOT regret it.

I wasen't a history major, in fact I graduated Lubin, and I took Prof. Blumberg for multiple classes. I didn't get the grades I wanted all the time, but enjoyed her lectures nonetheless. highly recommend...

i loved this class. i will deff take prof blumberg again. i highly recomend her!

really good prof, knows her stuff, and fair grader on exams which are not tough at all. for all of you who complain- how about studying. def. take her

My class was full of history majors, I was the only one that wasen't majoring in it. I enjoyed her class and learned a lot. She speaks slow, but it helps in note-taking. There are two 4-5 page papers, which you can rewrite. Plus, there are Extra Credit opprotunities. Group work is graded easy. I recommend hg=er class. I felt I got my money's worth.

awesome prof. really knows her stuff. lecture are interesting and very helpful. study instead of complaining and you can get an A.

she was good and fair as well. A tough grader , her scrutiny of my reports really bent my gpa. You'll learn from her but you'd better know how to write first.

She knows her stuff. Very hard grader. Get to know her and you'll be fine. Do extra credit if any. It does help.

Don't take her if its important that you get nothing less than an A. Even though she knows her stuff, she is a very critical grader. However, she is very accessible and willing to help. But even if she helps it does not mean your grade is secured. Her class can be frustrating at times...

GREAT. SO sweet. a must take. will learn tons!

If you take this class in a LC with Israel, it's harder than it seems. She is helpful, and has hope for her students. She does want you to read and participate. On papers, she's picky about dates and names. Will help if you ask the right questions. The readings can be a bit much though.

Sweet lady but tough grader. She stares at me in the hallways and doesn't bother saying Hi when I say 'hello' in a polite manner. She will try to help you but grade wise, she isn't worth taking

i took her years ago and have not forgotten about her lectures and the amount of knowledge this lady has...her lectures r precise, with no confusion whatsoever...i did very well in 2 of her classes..the tests are all essay and id, no multiple choice, so you need to know your stuff..you are lucky 2 be blessed with her if u get her..

I took her many years ago and I remember her class for being one of the best! She is very knowledgeable and makes class interesting. I am grateful to her for picking the required books for that class. They were great! This was a class on the Great Depression and I believe it is one of the best classes I ever took.

best storytelling voice ever

You need to forget your ego for this class and actually focus on learning something - not the grade. I have never worked harder in any class in Pace and although a lot of the work took up much of my free time, I am gald I completed this course. I can understand how students feel - like no matter how hard the attempt, it's never good enough.

I felt like the A's that I have acheived with ease prior to this class were worthless since I am still unsure whether or not I learned anything valuable. I respect Dr. Blumberg for her devotion, persistence, and tradtional teaching methods because YOU WILL LEARN IN HER CLASS if you try your best.

This professor is amazing. You get so many chances to do well (2 book reviews, midterm, final, 2 map quizzes, group presentation and class discussion.) If you ace midterm, book reviews and finals, an B+ A- or even A is possible. Give her a try and you will love american history.

She is not at all a mean professor, but not at all an easy professor. I would up with a 3.66 because i had 4 A's and a c+ in her class. She grades the tests way to hard. She also just lectures ever single class. I did learn alot though, I just destroyed my GPA. I feel bad writing this because she is such a sweet person. But the class is so hard

Although she has high standards for her papers, Blumberg is in all honesty one of the most knowledgeable professors I have had so far. Many people in my class didn't like her and claimed that she was too hard but during lectures those same people were on Facebook and never did the readings. Pay attention, do your work and you will learn a lot.

Dr. Blumberg is a very knowledgeable teacher. She is like a living textbook. She is an extremely tough grader and it is very important to her that your information is 100% accurate. This class was definitely the hardest class that I have taken at Pace but I learned a lot. The downside was there are many Sunday field trips and they're really boring.

Dr. Blumberg is a walking history textbook. Her lectures are very interesting and very easy to get into. Very hard grader, all assignments/ exams are essay based so if your not a strong writer you should think twice. Most attend class and read all requirements to do fairly well.

Shes extremely intelligent, knows what shes talking about. She plays fair game. 2/3 solely reliant on papers. The remainder 1/3 is the midterm and final. Quite a hard marker. If you enjoy sitting around and not doing anything in class, take her.

She insists on accuracy - and should she not? Totally knows her stuff. Class attendance and participation counts a lot. It was in her class that I forced myself to answer questions. She's a kindly woman but won't cut you any special breaks. I did all the reading, research and thoroughly earned my A. You won't forget what you learn.

She is a VERY smart woman, she knows what shes talking about. That being said - You earn your grade in her classes! There are no hand-outs. If you do ALL the readings and participate in class, you'll be fine!

She's a tough grader & smart. She has long lectures, heavily uses readings/textbooks, plays documentaries, & has class field trips. She's great. Just prepare yourself. Lots of writing & she expects historical accuracy, which is good! Edits help you grow as a writer! If you're a History major and/or into NYC Studies, you should definitely take her.

She really knows history inside and out therefore you will learn a lot in her class. Only problem is she is a hard grader. She assigns quite a few papers so you need to pay attention in class if you want to get a good grade.

She is very understanding but a very harsh grader and makes you feel like you never took any English classes prior to her class. Papers are marked very harshly and filled with red marks. Know how to write & remember specifics in history because she knows what she's talking and is not playing around. Nice but such a tough grader. I Don't recommend.

Wonderful teacher and lady. It IS in fact possible to get an A in her class (even an upper level one). She is extremely intelligent and therefore holds students to a high standard in order facilitate learning and improvement. I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of going to college. If you're looking for an easy A then skip her, your loss.

Dr. Blumberg's exams demand detailed essays, even for the short answer questions, but she does cover everything you need to know to do well. You are tested only on her lectures, so be sure to take good notes. Also, if you rewrite her papers she'll count your best grade rather than taking the average. Her courses are challenging, but you do learn!

Dr. Blumberg is amazing! She knows the subject so well. Babs is one of few professors at Pace who is not only qualified, but also makes her classes enjoyable. She gives each lecture like she is telling you a bedtime story, I swear to God. That being said, her class is by no means an easy A. But if you put in the work, it will be worth it.

Dr. blumberg is very intelligent, but expects a lot out of students. She is a very tough grader, but she knows what she is doing.
