Palmer is a great professor. She gives you almost every opportunity to get an A+ in her class. For her history 101 classes, she has given out at least five extra credit opportunities; you can get up to 20 extra credit points, and they all go into your FINAL average.
I love mrs. palmer. her tests are hard but if you study and just listen to the words coming out of her mouth during class than you will do fine!!! I really suggest taking her for history 101 and than 201
THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER! She is extremely helpful, makes everything easy for you when it comes to exams and papers, and she truly looks out for the best interest of her students. She gives extra credit all the time, so if you fail or even get a C in her class then you clearly are lazy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! SHES PURE AWESOME
She really is a great teacher and extremely helpful. She definitely wants to see you succeed. She gives a huge load of extra credit. You have to be an idiot if you fail. She is awesome
Professor Palmer IS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!. She is extremely helpful, makes everything easy for you when it comes to exams and papers. She looks out for the best interest of her students. She gives extra credit all the time. TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES. SHE IS AWESOME
Good teacher, she is goning to give you alot of notes but not overwhelming, test online, very doable.
Honestly, Professor Palmer is the best Professor I have had at IONA so far! She is extremely nice and knows what she's talking about. The most boring topics aren't boring with her. I advise you to be early to class because if you're late you will have to sing LOL! Take her!! You will be glad you did. You should get the lowest a B+!alotofextracredi!
This woman is a saint. She's bent over backwards to help me out and pass. Loves what she teaches, and knows her stuff. Funny and sees right through any B.S. excuses. Fight for her class, because it's so worth it. So much extra credit, tests are exactly what she says. Optional final. Love this lady!
Best teacher at Iona, knows everythings she is teaching and makes it fun. Impossible to fail since she gives extra credit all the time. One of the only teachers that you actually learn the material not only hear it. Take the class if possible 100%
Professor Palmer is absolutely the best professor I've had at Iona. She's an absolute sweetheart who knows her stuff and does everything she can to help her students. Tons of extra credit and easy assignments make it hard to not do well. Absolutely recommend taking her class. :)
Professor Palmer is amazing, definitely recommend taking her. Made my experience here at Iona a lot better compared to many of the other professors. Lots of extra credit, tests all online, class aren't boring. Don't be late and make sure you pay attention unless you want her to embarrass you.
Professor Palmer is one of the best Professors I have ever had. She tries to engage everyone and keeps the class interesting to say the least. To not take Professor Palmers class would be a disservice. You must have a sense of humor though...
Best teacher I have ever had. There is a lot of material in this class but all the exams are online and she is constantly giving extra credit. She really cares about her students and wants everyone to do well. Take her class you won't regret it.
Professor Palmer is the best professor at Iona, if you can get into one of her classes you 100% should. She gives out a lot of extra credit for the smallest things, hw assignments are easy on blackboard & tests are online so you can use your notes. It's hard to get anything below an A in her class. Take good notes & laugh at her jokes & you're gold
Prof Palmer is THE BEST! At the beginning of the class I was a bit scared,but after a few weeks of her class I now LOVE HER!!She gets everyone to engage in the class. Her assignments are pretty easy. She is a chill person and is funny.But beware if you're late to class(even by a minute)she makes you sing & you do pushups when you say "like".
She is absolutely historical. If you get on her good side, pay attention in class, and do her homework, and she will love you. Avoid being late to her class unless you want to sing to someone of the opposite gender. Avoid saying "like" unless you're trying to do pushups. You have to read though she is big on students knowing the world around them.
I personally think that this class was amazing. Although there was a lot of work, I feel like it made me more knowledgeable about the world today. Professor Palmer gives a lot of extra credit opportunity. I really do recommend this class but only if your willing to do the work. I learned so much in this class.
Professor Palmer is a great teacher. She gets you involved in the class and being prepared is a must. She's a very understanding, intelligent, and knowledgeable professor. I learned more than I bargained for in this class. I highly recommend this class, Professor Palmer is one of the best at Iona.
Best Teacher at Iona simple.
Palmer is a very funny, loving professor! At first, I was a bit intimidated by her class because it is based on class discussions but you get use to it. Her tests are online which is a plus and she gives a lot of extra credit to help boost up your grade. Her main goal is for her students to learn from one another and not be closed minded. Love her!
Professor Palmer is one of the best Professor's I've ever had. Not only is she hilarious and says whatever is on her mind, but she wants you to pass her class and is she also very passionate about what she teaches. She has made learning so much fun and simple if you just pay attention. She is also there for you when you need her.
You definitely learn a lot in this class. However, she gives a ton of work so if you're lazy, i do not recommend taking Professor Palmer. There are also a lot of class discussions , so be ready to participate.
I've had Palmer for the past 2 semesters for HST 101201, by far the best teacher I've had at Iona. It's an easy class if you participate and work hard, she acknowledges those who speak a lot and are engaged in discussions. She does not like lazy students so stay focused at all times, she's an all around great teacher and class is always enjoyable.
Professor Palmer truly cares about what she does and has passion for the subject matter. She gives you extra credit opportunities which are helpful if you wanna bring up your grade. She assigns a decent amount of homework and has a lot of in class discussions. If you really wanna learn something, take this class.
Make sure you participate and stay on top of your work.
Professor Palmer is without a doubt one of the best history teachers you will ever encounter. She lectures on the subject almost as if it she was a reading you a story. Palmer is articulate and laid-back. Don't mistake that, however, as an easy "A". A lot of homework is assigned and you do need to work quite a bit for a good grade.
Great professor who truly cares about her students' success, although you must be ready to work for it. Many assignments but also many extra credit opportunities. Funny lady, definitely would recommend her to other students
Professor Palmer is a very good teacher. She does give a lot of work but she wants you to do well in her class. What I like about her is that she gives a lot of extra credit, which is very helpful. She also wants to inspire her students and she is always there if you need her help.
Professor Palmer is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is very passionate and you actually learn from her. However, expect homework although it is not hard its just a lot. Also participation matters when you have discussions.
Very good teacher. Gives Chances for extra credit. Keeps class as interesting as possible for a history class. However gives lots of homework. The homework is not hard and will not take long but it will be almost every night and sometimes more than one.
Professor Palmer was extremely helpful and clear on each lesson she taught. This class involves a lot of speaking and group discussions. All of the test were online and extremely tough. She gave a lot of extra credit and opportunities to better you grade. She is an overall good teacher but I found her class a bit challenging.
Not your basic history class. You learn more than you think you would and is really interesting!
Tests are online. Not hard if you just write down notes during class. Participate in class, do extra credit, and homework and you'll get an A. I've take two classes with Professor Palmer most of which were spent of current events. She gives a metric ton of hand outs so try be organized with it. Research Paper is also a part of the class.
Tests are online and not that difficult if you take good notes. Research paper is a parte class. Lots of Homework, too much busy work in my opinion. Extra credit opportunities are available. Participation is required and their are many class discussions.
She is one of the best teachers I have ever had in Iona. Her enthusiasm inspires most of students to know the current events that she thinks important, that is, actually important.
She is super funny and the lectures are usually pretty interesting. its not some boring stuffy old history class, she teaches you about current events and problems with the world today. she will challenge you to open your mind and find things out for yourself. the class is a lot of busy work and the tests are based off of lectures so TAKE NOTES!!!
She's a really good teacher, assignments online do not take too much time just have to keep up with them. 3 online tests, map test, research paper, and participation is important too. Definitely a teacher I would take again.
One of my favorite professors. Makes class interesting and fun. Gives many chances for extra credit on tests. Very helpful when you need help. Best professor all around!
The tests are hard but with all the extra credit she offers, it should not be that hard to pass. Stay on her good side and make sure to attend class all the time and not come in late. She will respect you if you respect her.
I love her! Best professor ever! She does have a lot of assignments, but you can easily get an A with all the extra credit she gives. You will definitely walk out of her classroom knowledgeable and feeling smarter. Awesome professor. She challenges her students to work hard and be the best. Trust me. Taking her is not a mistake.
She's such a doll, I love her and appreciate all that she's done. She makes history hard to fall asleep in, and she gives enough assignments to help your grade. She gives many extra credit opportunities, that are do-able.
Proffesor Palmer gives a lot of work which helps your grade a lot if you don't do well on a test. She gives a lot of extra credit. She is really big on attendance and being there on time. She is strict but it's because she cares. Most professors don't know or care about their students but she really does, which helps you form a great relationship.
Professor Palmer is one of the most caring Professors at Iona College. I would absolutely recommend her, as well as take her again. This course was challenging for me, but was still one of my favorite classes that I have taken thus far. If you get the chance, TAKE HER!!
Professor palmer is a great professor. She gave a ton of extra credit and it's guaranteed you'll pay attention in the class because of her personality. She's only strict with attendance/lateness because she really cares about her students. All tests are online and timed 2 hours. All essays are take home.
She is great. Knows history in and out. If you respect her she will respect you back. Very fair grader.
Professor Palmer does a great job of getting students interested in the subject matter. She talks about relevant issues and we have many class discussions. She's a harsh grader, but she gives lots of extra credit to allow us to make up for bad grades or get ahead.
Provokes interest in history, highly recommended.
She is probably the best professor Iona has to offer. She is very caring about everyone of her students & gets everyone involved. She makes a FREE textbook for us that consists of everything for the year, so if you study that you'll be fine & her extra credit will be the reason your B go up to an A. Her tests are online but extremely difficult so don't think because it's take home, it will be easy. Overall an amazing professor.
It was a great class and the professor gave so many extra credit opportunities. As long as you take good notes, go to class and study for her online tests you'll do great. You literally have to try to fail her class.
Fun and full of knowledge.
I thought this class was helpful for me to learn something about the past. The professor of this class is good at teaching the subject and made it very easy to understand. Occsacionally, she would throw in a lot of interesting, and educational facts in for students to learn. She gives out a lot of extra credit opportunities. Test are easy if study.
Great teacher!
Carol Palmer is an excellent Professor and made HST 101 very interesting and actually made me look forward to going to class, she does not approve of the word like in a sentence unless you use it the proper way so beware. She offers a lot of extra credit, and is very understanding and very flexible on h.w. or due dates if you speak to her.
Professor gives a lot of extra credit. Pretty easy class if you do the homework and show up to class.
Solid history prof
Professor Palmer is by far one of the best history teachers I've had. She is a great teacher, cares about her students, and puts you to work. She doesn't take late work, and there are tons of class discussions but trust me, you'll love every bit of it. Her lectures aren't boring and she makes the class live. Strongly recommend!
great teacher taking her next semester
Carol Palmer--by far my favorite professor! So very kind and helpful to her students. Cares about your grades and gets on you for them. Would highly recommend to others, especially if you have never had a professor like her before. You won't regret it.
She loves to encourage her students to take part in discussions and be comfortable with expressing themselves.
She assigns a lot of work, it's not that difficult but you have to put in a decent amount of effort. She's an easy grader. She says you need the book but you can get by without it. Her expectations are clear. Her discussions and homework are an easy way to get your grade up. She gives extra credit. She assigns online tests that are hard.
C. Palmer is an awesome teacher! She really cares about making sure you speak your mind and are cognitive. She's always pushing you to think deeper and has very clear and straight forward lectures. Definitely highly recommend her as a teacher.
It is a great class. You will learn a lot through discussions or just from taking notes. Overall, one of the best classes I have ever taken.
She is an amazing teacher. In her class it is always important to show up and when you do show up actively participate, as she will jokingly call you out in class. The best way to describe her as a teacher that gives you back what you put in.
very good
Professor Palmer is hilarious and makes history and fun and intriguing. She gives a lot of work but nothing too hard. I would definitely recommend her for a history professor. 5 stars !!
She's great
Professor P. is hands down one of my favorite professors. She is hilarious but is a tough lady and wants you to strive to be successful. She gives you the grade for what you deserve, do her work and there won't be any problems and gives tons of EC. She is a great professor and teaches very well and clear. She is a sweet and caring woman, love her!
Professor Palmer is an amazing teacher. I would take her again if I could. She is hilarious and makes class fun. She gives enough work to help your grade and gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. She prepares a textbook for you for free that is very useful so be grateful. Her online tests are easy if you study and take down notes in class.
Quite a nit of reading but easy class to pass. She's extremely funny and very nice. Gives tons of extra credit. Can't get lower than a B in this class
nice lady very organized, lot of reading and homework. it isn't hard though. Would definitely take again
Great teacher
She makes coming to class enjoyable.
This class may not be an easy A, but this professor has made me happier and more educated on the subject matter. She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see them succeed. I found this course to be extremely challenging, but I am excited to take her next level history class.
As long as you pay attention in class, show up on time, and take good notes you'll be fine. She offers many extra credit opportunities. She is strict but fair.
I absolutely hated history until I took her class. She is absolutely hilarious, and is completely reachable outside of class. She is a great teacher, the best I've ever had.
Prof Palmer is the greatest professor you will ever have. I learned more in her class than I have in 20 other classes combined. She's an amazing person and really cares about her students.
Professor Palmer is awesome. She made history very interesting. I learned so much about history and current events and feel so much more educated in the subject. She really cares about educating her students. And she's really funny and interesting.
Professor Palmer cares very much about her students, although it is a history class you will be in touch with a lot of current events. She gives a lot of homework assignments that can be overwhelming, but they all add up to your final grade. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities towards the end of semester, so easy A!
Great lady. Didn't care much about the topic however she changed that. Make sure you get on her good side. She gives you the textbooks for free and her tests are given online. The work is hard as well as the tests but she gives you a ton of extra credit - almost so much extra credit that it is nearly impossible not to do well.
Honestly Prof Palmer is probably one of my favorite teachers here. She's funny and always has interesting lectures / activities. She gives an INSANE amount of extra credit opportunities. While she does give homework every week, it isn't very hard. Also, her tests are online and you have a week to do them. I love her and wish I could take her again!
Great teacher! lectures get interesting and she likes to joke around a lot. Never in a bad mood. A lot of reading and analyzing though. As long as you read, do the work assigned, and study, you should be fine.
Great Professor. As long as you show up and take good notes you will succeed.
A really good professor. As long as you do the work as well as the extra credit, you will excel.
I took Professor Palmer for the first history class and I wanted a year just to take her class again for the second history. She is a great professor and an even greater person! She doesn't shove any opinion down your throat like many professors do these days. She is a very tough woman because she wants you to succeed so she is very well respected.
Professor Palmer gives a lot of extra credit which are worth it. You can attend field trips and watch movies. The tests can be hard but show up, read highlight and annotate the GIVEN textbook (you do not need to pay), and do extra credit and you should receive an A.
Professor Palmer is the best Professor I have ever had. Encourages different outlooks and opinions in her classroom and respects her students. One of the only Professors that took the time to know my name. Her tests are reasonable as long as you pay attention in class and do the homework.
Amazing Professor! Her lectures are absolutely interesting and engaging. Always happy. I personally hate history however, she made it relevant and encouraged students to think for themselves. You must do the homework to do well in the class. She's very passionate about what she lectures. Be ready to hear "Don't be sheep, think for yourself" a lot.
Overall, Palmer is a good teacher and is very passionate about her lectures and the topics. but if you take this class be prepared to be called on to answer questions. She encourages you to think for yourself so be ready to have your own opinions. Also attendance and being on time is important in this class.
This history class was mostly about terrorist groups and thinking outside of the box so if decides to take this class be ready to know about the middle east and to think for yourself.
I love Professor Carol Palmer. She is an amazing and respectable woman. She encourages all her students to think freely and challenge her thoughts and opinions. As long as you do your homework and are on time for class, there is no way to fail. She will make you sing if you are late to class! There is homework weekly but they are easy and quick.
Professor Palmer, or as I like to call her, Professor GOAT is the best teacher I have ever had. She can be a little tough on you at times but that's because she's trying to get you to break the boundaries of common thought. "Don't be sheep" is a phrase you'll hear a lot from her so don't get intimidated. Overall, you should take her class.
Professor Palmer is a very open minded professor. She gives a lot of homework but its very easy. She wants her classes to be open minded and think for themselves. Her class is not hard if you do the work.
Professor Palmer is one of the most unique professors at iona. If your late you have to sing, if your falling asleep she calls you out and embarrasses you. SMH if you think your going to cruise through this class ill pray for you.
Very understanding and easy professor. Take home test are tough.
Professor Palmer has been a year for 47 years, so you are learning from a woman with so much experience. The class will challenge you to think and be open minded. You learn so much throughout the semester that you will become a new person. One of the best professors I have ever had
Dr. Palmer was great. A lot of readings but they're manageable/ not hard. Online homework comes from those readings & also not hard. You should not miss class, 1. because she'll notice & call u out and 2. you'll miss notes and she does not do PowerPoint lectures. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, which is amazing!
Professor Palmer feels strongly about what she is teaching, and is very interactive with the students. You must pay attention, take notes, and study to pass, best to take online tests in groups. Some may find her "too much", just do your work and you should be fine. Research Paper at the end is A LOT so don't wait last minute!!
Good teacher. Lectures are solid and she gives you a book full of the reads and homework. There is a lot of homework, but it is very easy and is helpful for tests. At first , she may come off stubborn but really does care about her students. FINAL IS OPTIONAL. Would recommend 100%
Great teacher. The homeworks are easy and she is usually an easy grader on them. Test's are online and the Final is optional. Would definitly recommend!
Teacher is awesome. Would 100% recommend her to anyone that has the chance. Tests are online and you learn about current issues and conflicts around the world.
Professor Palmer is amazing. Personally, I don't like to talk in class and am usually very nervous with outgoing teachers, but after a week or so I loved going to class! She calls on students a lot so you need to be prepared or she will call you out. We learned about present day affairs and I've learned so much. I would 100% recommend her to anyone
Solid teacher, well informed and supplies a variety of perspective as opposed to what mainstream media will present to you. She will make you have your own opinion so think before you speak, don't regurgitate.
She was an amazing professor. In the beginning I had mixed feelings about her and her class, but now at the end I am so happy I took her class. Her topics were interesting and the workload was reasonable and pretty easy. Just be on her good side and participate!!
Not your typical history teacher. Uses tactics such as forcing you to sing a song in front of the whole class if you walk in late in order to scare students into coming in on time. Will put you on the spot. Will blow up your spot.
Professor Palmer has to be one of my top 3 favorite professors I have ever had. She is funny and so kind. She also provides all the text you will need for the class. Participation is HUGE in this class, but it keeps you engaged and interested in the conversation. Also, there are so many extra credit opportunities! I wish I could take her again.
There is a lot of homework and group discussions, but they aren't very difficult and there are a lot of extra credit opportunities.
One of the best prof I have taken. A lot of extra credit opportunities, you have to show up the classes but when you do she will like you. You learn a lot but in a good way. It seems like it is going to be hard in the beginning but she helps you with every step and gives you a lot of ways to earn points. I would 100% take again.
professor Palmer is one of the best Professors i've had a Iona and by the the best history Professor. She truly cares about each student and goes out of here way to make sure you are learning important events which effect our world. She has a great sense of humor which is important especially in a history class to keep students engaged.
Show up to class because you won't pass if you don't.
Professor Palmer is one of the best professors I've ever taken a class with. The lectures are great, keeps them relevant and interesting, encourages participation, and she tells jokes here and there (be prepared to get roasted if you don't pay attention or don't study the material, it's great to watch though).
Good teacher, makes sure you know all current events and material well.
Awesome teacher. Don't take if easily offended as she makes many controversial hilarious jokes.
Prof Palmer is one of the kindest professors I have had at Iona. She is so kind and even takes time out her life to create a textbook for us so we don't have to spend money and buy one. She is well respected and will help you throughout the course as long as you put in the effort.
Professor Palmer is hands down the best professor at Iona. She made learning history fun and made class interesting. She cared about each and every student she had. Would definitely recommend taking this class.
Professor Palmer is great. Make sure you show up to class on time and take notes on what she stresses to be important. No need to buy a textbook. Tests are worth a lot. Make sure you study. Heavy on participation. Nice lady. Would take her again for another history course.
Great teacher overall, lets you think for yourself. There are 3 online test, one research paper and homework that is usually done on blackboard. Attendance matters. Overall, great professor.
Great Professor, very straight forward but funny. She cares about the material which will keep you interested.
Prof. Palmer is a great asset to Iona College. Having her as a teacher can only benefit you. You learn something every class. I was a student who challenged her quite often and thats just what she likes. Speak your mind and substantiate, her two rules. You learn to love her cause she only wants the best. Wish she was teaching all my courses.
Great teacher who is very insightful. Makes a lot of jokes and I learned a lot. Would take again.
She can be kind of eccentric, some times its too much, sometimes its hilarious. Be ready to feel uncomfortable, the class is heavily focused on terrorism with some history here and there. If you arent knowledgeable on this, Id recommend. If you are, you may get bored.
Professor Palmer is the ideal mediator for dense and active information--current events and quality ideas/opinion are supported in an engaging forum. Expanding our knowledge on a global scale with research is highly encouraged. I enjoy the discussions and the emphasis on powerpoints presentations, learning from PEERS. Extra credit ample, a sweetie!
Professor Palmer isn't similar to any other professors you would find at Iona College. Having her as a professor is quite enjoyable with her sense of humor and the assignments aren't hard. In addition, she is always giving out chances to boost your grade up with extra credit. Just do all her assignments, attend class and study and you'll be fine.
Everyone at Iona must take HST 201 to graduate. I heavily recommend taking Professor Palmer. She is unlike any professor you will take here. She is funny, loud and knowledgable. She has a great passion for what she is talking about. Prepare to do a lot of homework. All very easy, just a lot. She also provides you with a textbook.
HST201 is a class that is required for graduating, however, Prof Palmer is the one to take! Palmer is a such a nice and knowledgable woman and makes her classes fun and enjoyable. She really emphasizes her students 'to think outside the box' and participate in class discussions. She gives out a handful of easy assignments and lots of extra credit.
Carol Palmer is a well respected, informative History professor. Although she does give many assignments, she wants the best for you! She goes "off script" & talks about real world situations, which makes the topic so much more interesting. She expects you to be engaged in current events & gives tons of extra credit opportunities. Participate!
she's very sarcastic and tough but if you put in the effort or go to her for help shell help you pass, very knowledgable
Professor Palmer is very intelligent and knowledgeable about historical and recent political events; although HST 201 is labeled as "Tradition and Modernity", the class content is heavily focused on politics of Africa and the Middle East. The lectures are extremely engaging and encourage intellectual development and forming your own opinion.
Great Teacher, great sense of humor, easy to talk to. gives a lot of work but its easy assignments. 3 big tests. DO your work and participate and you'll do fine.
Good teacher, knows the subject well with interesting lectures. Gets class involved and helps with the large course load she assigns. Its a lot of work but she cares about her students learning
This teacher is amazing. If you're ever concerned about failing or anything she will be willing to help you out with extra credit. She definitely always has the students back and does not want to see anyone fail, as long as you show you are giving it your all. She is very funny which sometimes gets you into the lectures .
Pretty easy to know how to get an A. Gives decent amount of assignments but all pretty easy. Don't be offended if she picks on you.
Great professor. Pay attention, show up on time, participle, and do the homework and you'll be fine. You are given multiple opportunities for extra credit. Exams are take-home online. Homework consists of reading, highlighting, and taking notes on the textbook she provides and then answering questions and submitting on blackboard. Highly recommend!
Carol Palmer was the only professor who I looked forward to seeing in my whole college career. She is both the mother and educator of the classroom. Her teaching material is very useful in everyday life. Her personality makes every class an exciting experience. The class is very interactive, making everyone remain tentative during lectures.
The greatest professor I had at Iona so far. kept my hard work ethic in check and was a great coach plus mentor. Everyone should have this professor at Iona or else you missed out on a lot
Good teacher but gives a lot of homework that is not all that helpful.
Professor Palmer made the class very interesting. The Hour and 18 min went by quickly because she kept us engaged. She always had a welcoming personality that brought the class together. Best professor Ive had at Iona yet.
Professor Palmer is a great professor. Very caring lady and she is funny. A lot of homework and tests are kind of difficult. If you are caught up with your work and study for your tests you should be fine.
Professor Palmer is the single best professor I've had so far at Iona college. She drove me to do my work. Made me feel like I was making a difference when I participated in class discussion, is incredibly honest and caring about her students, and does everything she can to help them pass her course and remember it as a good fulfilling experience.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Unexplainably nice and caring. She was like my second grandmother at school. Allowed me to contact her on other platforms because of the bond we were able to develop. She only wants to see you better yourself and see you grow into a better person then you already are. I would definitely keep in contact.
One of the best professors around. She doesnt pull any punches and she isnt afraid to tell you how it is. On top of that she cares about how you are doing both in class and outside of class.
Mrs Palmer is a wonderful teacher. She has clear expectations and is fair, if you do the work you will be good for the class. She expects you to do your work and thats fair. She has a good scence of humer and knows her material. I would deffently recomend her.
Best professor you could possibly ask for.
Her class is very interactive and she makes sure you know your stuff. There are a bunch of assignments online and three tests, but theyre not too difficult. Make sure you hit the deadlines. I thoroughly enjoyed her class.
One of the best courses I've taken in my life. She teaches history like a story and makes it so simple anyone can understand. The work is easy and makes the class so easy. The best professor I've had at Iona.
very caring and kind teacher but will get on your ass if need be
Great teacher best I've had
Best professor I ever had at Iona college. She makes you love learning and if I could I would definitely take her again
I would recommend 10/10. She is a really educated professor with many positive qualities.
Professor Palmer is tough but fair, a lot of homework but plenty of extra credit opportunities, the material thought is important to understanding many current racial and international tensions
You will learn a lot in her class but you have to work. She is very caring
The professor will never be absent and respects all students no matter the circumstance. She gives 3 papers and 3 multiple choice test throughout the semester. She gives a decent amount of homework but its mostly just reading and taking notes. Make SURE to participate. It will help a lot with your grade and make sure to study.

Great teacher, dont learn much about history but she helps a lot with learning people at the school and public speaking.
nice and easy if you try a little. Does not take late work at all and be on time to class. Gives a lot of extra credit so do it all and youll get an A
Best class I ever taken! Its such an easy A as long as you do the assignments. There is a lot of extra credit given so hard not to get an A
Shes a bossss
Professor Palmer is one of the best professors I have had at Iona. She is very helpful and does more than just teach you class material. She teaches you things you will need to know outside of the classroom and helps you be a better student and individual. Funny and easy to talk to.
Great Professor, gives a lot of extra credit to boost your grade. Gives three major tests to study for, plenty of time to study. Funny and caring teacher, would absolutely take again.
