BAD TEACHER. She promoted the murder of innocent women and children that were killed in a revolt lead by Nat Turner, even calling him a hero for doing so. She bashes Europeans and continually suggests all Europeans are ****s. She has a very subjective prespective, and passes it as an objective one

I have taken Professor Lehman for 2 semesters now and she is definitely knows her African American history. This is not a class to relax in. You should always come prepared to take notes because it will be a great help with exams. She is a pretty easy teacher. You have to write a paper of course but most of the class consist of her lectures.

I really liked Dr. Lehman's class, it was a bit challenging, but if you take notes you will have a better chance. She was really sweet and I was sad when the class ended because I really got into the lecture and discussions, I learned a lot about African American history. She requires 1 essay and 3 exams, all done on blackboard.

Online multiple choice exams are okay, however she gave no study guides as others have mentioned. Class is 3 exams and 1 paper. The paper topics have little to do with class content and are more "If you could magically change the past what would you do?" and while this may be okay for a history major, it's really just a meaning less fluff.

Her class consisted of only 4 things ( 3 tests & a midterm paper) her class was fairly easy but since your grade relies on the 4 things, boosting ur grade up when you do badly on any of the 4 is difficult, so you need to actually do all 4 things. Her lecture though can be dry sometimes but maybe its because I took. a 3 hour long class but it was ok
