She's a really great teacher for this subject and she really does take intrest in how well we do. Her tests are hard, yes, but she gives us tips on how to study for her tests and also sometimes even gives us the question. There is no homework, just tests and that's the reason they seem so hard.

These comments are all true. Yes, she is smart. Yes, she gives boring lectures. Yes, she has impossibly difficult tests entirely on the readings. The thing I'd like to add is that she is inconsistent, unapproachable, and teaching is not her priority. She is a JC teacher who thinks she is at a University. DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!!

She has an interesting class, just don't expect any help from her in the least. Any questions asked are shot down, and if you think something would be too mean for her to do, she will probably do it. She teaches directly to the book that she wrote, which has numeroud typos, and gives tests even when she doesn't announce them. It's an informative class, but i'd think twice before taking another one from her.

In defense of Dr. Teipe, yes her class is hard & attendance is critical. Yes she assigns alot of reading & her tests are difficult. If you are the type of student that wants to complete a class understanding a topic & have the ability to take that knowledge anywhere with you, then take her class. If you are looking for an easy A, don't.

She is the hardest teacher of all fullerton. If you do not have a social life, no job, and would like to read her book all day everyday, take her and still hope to get a B. Her tests are hard and tricky. She wont help you and she would blame blackboard for not answering back emails. No extra credit, she wont drop lowest score. THE WORST

I LOVE Dr. Teipe. She actually makes you learn, not just memorize. As a history major, I adore her for this fact.
