I really enjoyed the class. She can be strict, but only when necessary. Make sure you work hard on the papers though...

LOVED HER. she seems like she actually cares bout the student and is always prepared to help. Review sheet is very helpful and her lectures includes everything u need

she kept me awake during her lectures, unlike my prof from 151. she talks 2 the class, answers any questions we have n she actually xplains if u dont understand. shes a tuff grader 4 papers, just watch ur grammar and form and ull b fine.

She is a good lecturer and she breaks down things. I dont see why people would criticize her because as long as you stay focused and on top of things, history should be clear to you. This is the first history class I'm actually enjoying.

She is a great teacher, alot of reading and notes but she breaks down everything and makes it very interesting. Before i took her i hated history now i really enjoy it

Shes a good professor. Talks kinda fast but repeats herself several times so you can understand the material. Tests reflect all lec notes and the review sheet tells you what the essay is for the test so u can study in advance.

very good professor, even doe she gave alot of notes during the lecture, she break it down into details that for the final, you can even study off her notes and review and get good grade.

Friendly and interested in her subject, which adds to the class. Not very forgiving on essays, but is fair. And hey, she could be worse looking.

She is a great teacher. It seemed hard at first but then you get the hang of it. You get 1 project to do and you have to take a lot of notes and do many readings. You just have to do the readings and take notes and you are fine. Great teacher and she has a sense of humor. Big Thumbs Up!

wonderful professor. lectures are very detailed and very attentive towards her students.

She's insane with the grading! Nice person though.

This was very easy class, even if you have half of a brain you should do fine if you pretend to use it. The professor was extremely helpful. If you know what you're talking about on the essays you should do fine.

At first she seemed hard because of her hard take home essays, but her tests are very clear and you can really raise your grade by getting a good grade on them. A very interesting lecturer.

She is a very good lecturer. if you take all of her notes down they will really help you on a midterm and on a final. The essays which she gave were really hard because she is a very tough grader. However, you canpass her test and that will raise your grade really up.

Kinda tense, but she gives very detailed and interesting lectures, and is clearly engaged with the subject matter. The scope of the class forces us to zoom through more than 100 years of history, so you have to do a lot of work to keep up but it's not too difficult. She's grades fairly and even if I don't necessarily like her I do respect her.

Very knowledgeable of history. Makes class very interesting and explains things very throughly. Recommended to those not interested in history. Have to know how to take good notes though.

Her exam is not really hard, but she asks specifics question and you have to answer the way she wants. Her class is really hard and have to keep up with the work. However, she is very smart in history and knows a lot. she makes the lecture clear.

She expects u to know the stuff. He test are tricky but if u pay attention to the little stuff ull do okay.Her class is really intersting and she brings in current topics but if ur lookin for and easy A this is not the class.If u want to learn something her class is great and she makes it very clear for you.

She good but you must stay on top of the reading. The test are passable. She excellent during her office hours. Dont fluff the paper because that will really hurt your grade.

Extremely nice teacher. Very clear and emphasizes everything that she wants you to understand. Her test are ok. . ONLY if u go to class often take alot of notes and really participate in the class discussion times. READ THE BOOK well at least the book with all the primary and secondary documents in it! . she really you to mention them in ur exams

Great class and great professor. I definitely learned a lot. She gives a study guide before the test, but there is a possible choice from 4 essays. There is always a lot to study and a lot of notes given in the class, but everything is well worth it.

She is one of the best teacher at Hunter. She is so passionate, it is inspiring. This class had 2 essays(one 3-pages theother 6-pages) She gives you a choice of topics for the essays. There is also a midterm and final which is composed of identifications and essay. The essays on the exam are worth like 70% of the grade. Lots of reading!

this is the History of Amer cities. the class consisted of two papers a mid term and final. if you mess up on the first paper you will get a lot of help from the midterm pretty easy. she is very nice and you can see how interested she is in the subject. good professor good class.

She is honestly one of the best instructors at Hunter. She is a fair grader and an excellent lecturer. You will have to do work, but you will learn a lot.

i love this woman to death. excellent lecturer, wonderful notes [though be prepared to take a LOT of it!], fair exams. definitely recommend her! :D

Such a passionate lecturer! She is very clear with notes, but get ready to get hand cramps. There is only a midterm, a paper , and a final. Take her class!

i LOVED her. wonderful professor with great notes [though you'll definitely get some hand cramps], passionate, quirky. definitely one of my favorite professors.

awsome professor! has alot of passion for the subject and never fails to put you to sleep in class! definietly recommend her !!

Excellent lecturer. This class had lecture and discussion sec, really annoying. The exams are graded really harshly as well as the paper. Its not super hard but you need to study for exams well and remember dates! This class imo takes up too much of my time and its not even for my major. If i didnt need it for a req. i would have dropped it

Very interesting professor. Tests are based mostly on notes, and a little on text. If you take notes and pay attention in class, you should have absolutely no problem with this course.

Just go to class, be good at writing notes and study your notes and you will get at least a B+. Papers are easy if you passed English 120

she is the most organized professor I have ever had! she is very clear, interesting, and detailed. it's easy to take notes even in a big lecture class. she gives out a good review sheet and her tests aren't so bad. i recommend her!

very much agreed she's an excellent teacher, no doubt about that. but the course requires you haevy notetaking, your papers get graded a little harshly, and 70-100 pages of reading for each class session is expected. to sum up, if this is not required for your mojor, think about it once more before you register.

Absolutely the best.Although there's alot of note taking,she is very organized and detailed.She gives all the info you need for exams and papers.There is a midterm,paper and final.There should be no reason to fail her class.I am taking another class with her this upcoming semester.

Very great prof. Clear, respectful, and doesnt rush her PP lecture. I still dont believe her about how New deal saved capitalism but very intelligent prof. Grade based on: discussion section, midterm, final, research paper. only hw is reading Major Problems book. I suggest u start paper quickly. About essays, include EVERYTHING from notes.

She gives very clear lectures and prepares you very well for the papers and exams. She's a good teacher

A great lecturer. Fun, interesting, detailed, knowledgeable, and organized. Attentive to students, willing to repeat self several times for the note-takers, willing to answer questions and make sure students understand the material. Participate in discussion sections, take good notes, and read the homework assignments. Textbook is optional; do

i never wanted to miss her class.. The lectures were clear and interesting. She seems like a really decent person. She chose good reading materials as well.

excellent prof... she is a very intellectual person and it shows when she gives lectures... she is very thorough and clear... she will repeated her dictations if u ask her...very helpful and understanding... grades fairly but have to b precise when u write ur essays... include specifics and show tht u understand the topic... best hist prof i eva ha

She is very clear and organized. But be prepared to take alot of notes. Only two exams: midterm, final. The paper is very strictly graded and as a result many take the class as credit/no credit. I dont recommend this class. She is a great professor but grades too strictly.

One Midterm Exam, One 5 Page Term Paper, & The Final. She Knows Her Stuff Really Well I Learned So Much In Her Class I Never Wanted To Miss It. She Makes History Interesting & Points Out Important Topics. She Is Clear & Is There If You Need Extra Help Or Questions. She Gives You A Review Sheet So Use It & Study It! & Youll Be Sure To Pass!Take Her!

I enjoyed her class. It was kind of hard to be in a room with no windows and hear her lecture for the whole class but it wasn't the worst class, by far actually. She was nice and friendly but strict, as she should be. It helps if she knows your name and you make eye contact with her. Participation is also key. I recommend her for 152.

She is strict, do not come in late! Her grading is pretty intense, but if you put a little effort in you'll recieve a good grade. She will grade you by what you earn in the class. Put effort in = good grade. Don't = bad grade.

This is a really quality professor. It is surprising . . . no, actually shocking to read the attacks on her! There might be some professors who deserve such bashing, but she is not one of them. I suspect most of the comments are coming from one totally disgruntled student who sat at the back of the room.

Truthfully, I'm not in her class. I just sit in with a friend who has the class. Usually I sit in her class and write other assignmets and really don't listen, but I leave the room knowing everything she said! She's that good! I could be not listening and learn from her. I wish my History teacher was half as interesting as Prof. Haverty-Stacke

Good professor, expect lots of notes, in class midterm and final paper and in class finals. these three assignments are a big part of the grade. DO THEM AND TAKE THE TIME TO DO THEM THEY WILL COUNT!

Prof Haverty-Stacke was very clear in her presentations, but what takes away from taking her class is that she is s STRICT grader. My midterm grade was a A- and my paper was a C+....that said put a lot of time and effort into the paper, she will bash it if u didn't put the time into it!!!

She makes all of her lectures interesting and enjoyable. Additionally, she gives out review sheets for both the midterm and final exams. Very helpful, and considerate. I took this class as a GER, but I really enjoyed it.

Good professor. Recommended. She's clear about her lectures and doesnt put you to sleep. She would dedicate time to help you. Your grade basically depends on your midterm, one paper, and final. Depending who your TA is, is what really determines how well you'll be graded on those three things.

She gives you a new perspective on the time periods you cover. Take good notes because they will be your info source for midterm, paper, and final. Midterm and Final are 50-70% essay which are graded by TAs so your grade depends on who you get. Gives a review sheet which requires more work than the actual exam so if you work hard you'll be fine.

Very nice professor. Kept me engaged in the lectures. Must take notes because they are crucial to the paper and exams. I attended every class,took notes, didn't participate though but still walked out with a A-.

Lectures are boring if you don't care about history. If you are interested and actively participating in discussions, then it's an enjoyable experience. A lot of reading though, so make sure you keep up. Assessments, there are only a few, so make sure you do really well on them. Fair grader and a great person. It was a great class.

Haverty-Stacke's class was extremely interesting and she is very knowledgeable about all of history. She is a fair, but not easy, grader. There was a lot of reading material that you needed to keep up with in order to participate in discussions. She is a really nice woman and I would recommend her if you love to learn.

Highly recommend! Extremely sweet, intelligent, and willing to help. She def knows her stuff...I thought I hated history, but her lectures are interesting, and she doesn't just read off the slide. It's a writing intensive classes, but all we had to do was a 5 page (double-spaced!) non-research paper. She gives study guides for her tests.

LOVED her class. I went in with no interest in history, but now I am eager to do more research on my own. She was able to present the facts in a new way, and to make the events more relate-able. You know exactly what is going to be on both the midterm and the final because she gives out a study guide, so just study and you will do well.

she is the best! she is so passionate about what she teaches and she really knows her stuff! she is so helpful if you go to see her outside of class and she will help you to make sure your work is clear. Midterm, final, 2 papers and readings. Would definitely take another class with her!

A great lecturer, a helpful and sweet person, but such a HARD grader! If you expect to maintain a 4 GPA throughout, may be pick an easier grader. (one essay, a mid-term, a final). She takes points off my essay for having syntax and grammar problems. Take careful and close notes in lectures (really important) and participate in discussions.

Great professor! As long as you do your work, and you're respectful, you're gonna do more than fine. She's very clear, always prepared. Huge knowledge!

She is seriously one of the BEST professors at Hunter. Her lectures are engaging and interesting. She is passionate about the material and the lectures make you become a genius in the material with relative ease. Connecting the material together is the key in this class and helps you in essays and tests. Great teacher.

She is absolutely the BEST history professor at Hunter. I would HIGHLY reccomend taking her classes. She is passionate about her coursework and it is CLEAR that she knows her stuff. More than that, she is an outstanding professor.

One of my favorite professors of all time! She is brilliant and passionate about labor history. Her lectures made me emotional and I learned so much from her. She is very kind and down to Earth. The tests are hard, but this is college, so get it together and study! You should do fine if you take good notes and do the readings. She's great!

Professor Stack is brilliant and enthusiastic. There is a ridiculous amount of reading required each week and you will not get by with skimming. She has expectations but gives you an opportunity to prepare for papers.

Unlike other professirs, professor Haverty Stacke delivers information through engaging her listeners. Her tone is not monotone, which I really love. She wants you to go to office hours which really does help.

She's absolutely brilliant and an amazing lecturer; her energy is contagious and it makes you interested in the subject. It's crucial to take close notes in order to pass the tests, as you will need to cite things she may just brush over briefly. She tells you the test questions a week before so you can practice your response! Makes for an easy A.

Haverty-Stacke knows her history. She's an amazing lecturer and is kind if you need to approach her for help. Everything is straight forward: midterm, essay, final. TA's do most of the grading but she oversees. She gives review sheets before all tests. Go to class and take really good notes! You have to work but it's easy with her as the prof.

Good Professor, Hard grader on papers; Will deduct points for dumb little mistakes on an essay. Puts me to sleep with her lectures.

Donna is great! She is SO knowledegable about history and she structures her lectures really well. Be prepared to really participate in weekly discussions. If you want to know labor history, there's no one better and her class is absolutely worth the effort. 2 tests and 2 papers, not very long.

Professor Haverty-Stacke is truly a great professor who really knows her stuff. While she may be a tough grader when it comes to papers, she really does try to help you out as much as she can and you WILL become a better writer by the end of her course. She is also really passionate about history and it shows in the course. Take her class!!

She is amazing at what she does. She makes the class very easy, her slides are very descriptive and tell you what you need to know. If you do not know anything she will clarify it for you. I would definitely take any class with her.

I enjoyed her class - she is very knowledgeable but don't even think about missing classes! And I'm glad I used my iPad for notes - probably took more notes in this class than any other at Hunter, including my 300 level classes.

Prof. H-S is solid, kind, knowledgeable professor who delivers the material directly. She seems a little inflexible in terms of her style--she seems to have a clear idea of what she wants before entering a discussion and doesn't necessarily bend to the flow of class. I really enjoyed her course, though, and her readings were intriguing.

The best history professor I have ever had. Inspirational and engaging. Loves her job and you feel this vibe. Knows the subject inside and out. Very detailed and straightforward expectations. The best in-depth analysis of the course material. Classes held synchronously&asynchronously. Amazing lectures. Two papers and final. Participation matters.

This class is tough but Professor Haverty-Stacke is passionate and makes it very enjoyable. You're only graded on two papers, midterm, final and participation, so showing up to class is vital. It's A LOT of reading, but if you keep up with the readings and voice thread lectures, you'll be fine
