Dr. Pollack is very knowledgable in her field. She often goes the extra step to help students who need it. All you have to do is take the time to talk to her and you will find that she genuinely cares about the students.

The tests are mostly essay, write everything you learned and you'll do fine. She's crazy sometimes, but really interesting

interesting class... shes a very intense person... but its not that difficult of class

Understanding based class. She wants you to REALLY understand what is happening in history and convey that to her. If you can do that, best class ever. She is one of my favorite professors. Amazing woman. P.S. She is totally crazy. Insane. But the good kind. Usually.

If you are not intresed in History:DON'T TAKE HER. She really cares about history and if you are only in there just because you have to be in there, she will know. If you are intrested in History: A must have! She makes you look at history from another angle that you wouldn't normally look at it from. She is really good, although she lectures all d

If you pay attention in class you will get a good grade. The test are all essays and she just wants to know what you have learned from her teachings not from a book or the internet. I loved the class it just took some time to get use to the way she teaches.

I strongly believe that Dr. Pollock was a GREAT teacher. When she lectures she displays a lot of conviction which helps to make history less of a boring subject. Her tests were all essay and very straight forward. If you could complete the review you can make an A. I highly recommend taking her class.

come to class & regurgitate everything on the essays, & you'll get an A. so far, she hasn't touched WWI or WWII or Vietnam. lectures more about society than facts & dates. tells everything like a story.

REALLY GOOD! Don't need to buy book. TAKE GOOD NOTES and go to class and listen - you'll do well. She's very helpful if you email her. Very intimidating at first but she grows on you. Essay only tests (and only 3 tests all sem.) Be prepared-she lectures very quickly - write fast.

she is everywhere during lecture. hard to follow. TA's grade extremely hard, DONT BUY THE BOOKS, she never uses it!

Very interesting professor. Obviously very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Tells everything like a story, gets you interested. GO TO CLASS and take notes. If you don't, expect to do badly.

she is by far the best professor I have had so far. she is so interesting and ties all of history together making perfect sense. write down everything that comes out of her mouth and you will do good on the tests. even though attendance is not taken every time you have to go to class to do good on tests. she is a brilliant woman

This professor is great! She is very intelligent and makes history very interesting. I have never attended such a brutally honest history class. Your final grade will consist of 2 or 3 essays. If you attend class and take good notes - the essays will be extremely easy. Word of the wise: take notes on everything she talks about. Wonderful professor!

Dr. Pollack is the most passionate professor I have ever had. She doesn't just teach; she inspires.

For all those who said she is unorganized, doesn't make sense, or is redundant...it is a misconception. If you think she is repeating herself then you are not really listening. She tells history as a seemless story. She is not a babysitter. She suggests books to make educated people. If you are lazy you do not have to read them. She is wonderful.

Eunice was amazing! Def makes history interesting. I highly recommend taking this class

She really teaches you what a college class is. I had to learn the hard way. Class attendance is mandatory or you will miss notes for days. She teaches a different type of history that is so real and true. And thing you have never heard of. She will work with you and she is very loving when u get to know her. But her class is hard no games! you hav

As far as history of antisemitism is concerned, I learned a lot, however, the end of the semester seemed to turn into an Anti-Christianity class instead. I felt beat up emotionally after the semester was over with.

If you haven't had a class with Dr. Pollack, you are missing out. She is SO passionate about Jewish studies and the REAL history of Christianity. Some students didn't enjoy the class because they felt that she skipped around, but she doesn't. She tells a seamless story that will open your eyes. It's like a massage to the brain.

I had her for Antisemitism and Creating a Contemporary America and LOVED her. She is an amazing woman, and I plan on taking 2 more of her classes this semester. Don't slack off though; she'll kick your butt if you do! You will be so much smarter after any of her classes! completely recommend her to everyone!

Dr. Pollack is amazing! I hated history before, but now I can't wait to get to class to see what she talks about. She teaches the why's and not just the what's and when's. She is so passionate and a very blunt lady. She has one of the strogest peronsalities that scares most people, but I love it!

This is my second class with her. You people who say she is crazy are crazy. She's probably the most brilliant person I've met. Take any object or subject and she could tell you the reason why it has come about. Ping Pong, LSD, Abercrombie and Fitch, dating, ****'s. You name it... she knows it. Learning was a drag until this class. Inspirational!!

Professor Pollack is a very educated professor. She really knows her stuff. This class is by no means an easy A though. I had to work the hardest I ever had and study for each test (which are only essays)16 hours each to get an A. They cover SO much material. Go to class and take good notes, she only lectures. You will work hard!

AMAZING!!! one of the most wonderful teachers ever. hard teacher but great knowledge. sit close to the front and DONT ask stupid questions, dont text or talk!

she's the most wonderful teacher i've ever had - i've never enjoyed history before this class. if you like sarcasm and subtle humor, you'll love this class. the tests are kind of hard, but honestly, it's really worth it.

She's a great teacher and very knowledgable. She does take attendance, her test are ALL essay format, but she likes people who ask questions and interacts with her. Don't sit in the very front because she will constantly stay right up on your chair. Overall, she's a good and doesn't grade too hard. I made an A and no red marks on either test!

If you want to learn, to gain new perspectives on U.S. society, and you want to actually absorb history (rather than memorize dates & names) - Dr. Pollack is THE ideal professor to learn from. Prior to her class, I was indifferent to the topic. But now I see the world in a new light. She tells the American story, and how it pertains to us now. 5sta

If you pay attention to her, take notes, and study hard, not only will you do extremely well in her class, but you will also gain an enormous amount of knowledge. She is very interesting! Attendance and attention are mandatory though, and so is taking notes. She doesn't refer to the text book...ever. The class is EASY if you try, HARD if you dont.

You are doing yourself a favor by taking her class. She is gifting you knowledge about how the world really works, not the crap fed in your textbook. Her lectures are riveting and gritty, and her tests are hardcore. Class is intense. You WILL emerge enlightened about the truth. I would have paid 10x the money to do it again. Thank you Dr Pollack

I personally do not recommend her. Her lectures dont cohere, and says she'll get to her point but never does. You mostly have to write down everything she says, and you can still get lost when studying. She gives too many possible essays on the study sheets and expects four pages for each essay on the tests. Not an easy A.

Pollack is an different kind of professor. If you want to learn about history in an oddly refreshing way, then this is for you. If you would rather just get your history core over with, like I did, she can be frustrating at times. She has essay tests, her teaching style is odd and disorganized. Not an easy A, but an easy passing grade.

I could talk about how wonderful she is all day long. She's brilliant and oldschool- no power points and nothing on blackboard. Come to class, take notes, and pay attention. Normally, history is boring to me, but in her class you'll be entertained by her bluntness and interested in what she has to say.

ive never gotten an A in history ever but Pollack really connected the timelines and made history into an actual story. her tests are essays, but i pulled all nighters and studied my butt off to class notes and did well on the essays. if youre a decent writer, she grades everyone on a freshman level, so youll be okay. id definitely recommend her!

She is very smart and at many points talked about periods of history that were very interesting and unfamiliar to me. But it is not at all a class where you can miss once a week and expect to do good on the tests. There are only 2 tests and they were pretty difficult. However she is very helpful and willing to listen to any problems you have.

Dr. Pollack is an inspiration! She will make you aware of the ugly truth, so don't expect things to be glossed over. This was my second class with her. She can be very blunt. Leave your preconceived notions at the door!!! She will give you a review sheet with half a page worth of questions for your essay. Books assigned not likely to be on exams.

Best professor I've had at UNT. I've taken two of her classes and gained an A in both. Attendance is taken sporadically, so it's important to not miss. In fact, if you skip, you'll be missing out on a chunk of info you'll need for her essay exams. This class inspired me and changed the way I think about the Jewish culture. Take her! I know I will.

Dr. Pollack is AMAZING! I have taken almost all the classes she offers. Be advised she is not afraid of offending people with her lectures and tells the hard truth. The lectures are all very important so you can't ever miss. You can tell she cares a lot about students and will always answer your questions. I highly recommend taking her classes.

Dr. Pollack is the best history professor at UNT as far as being the most interesting and most passionate. She only has 3 grades in her non-survey courses, an optional mid-term, a final, and a 5 page essay over two books you choose from a selection she gives. Attendance is not required but necessary if you want to pass since her test is 70% lecture

Dr. Pollack is a great teacher. I learned so much in her class. She makes history fun and interesting.

She is one of the best professors I've had at UNT. She's intelligent, conveys her points in an interesting and understandable way, and you will actually learn something. It's not a blow off course at all, but she is amazing. Take her if you can!

Dr. Pollack is an amazing professor. You definitely have to work hard for your grade but that's what college is for, right? Come to class regularly, take good notes, read the books, and you should be okay. She truly wants to see you do well so she doesn't baby.

Pollack is a decent professor, she knows what she is talking about, but talks very fast, so take some writing/typing lessons. Tends to go off topic some times. Overall she is good, just show up to class, take good notes, pay attention, and read the books and you'll do fine.

Amazing teacher!!! One of the best UNT has to offer. Not a blow off class. She engages her students and challenges them. If you don't want to learn don't take her class. If you truly thirst for knowledge. Show up EARLY everyday.

I hopped on this site and it seems she's still doing her thing. The trick is to sit in the front and engage her. Going off topic is how she interacts. I don't know many folks who are an authority in psycho-analytic history. Show up, tune in, interact and get some of the BEST college can offer!

She is a great professor. Like everyone else said you have to attend class and ask questions. She is very sweet and really enjoys her lecture topics. I really enjoyed her and her class.

Take it seriously!! Exams are LONG essays. MUST attend class and MUST take notes! Even if you think what she's saying isn't important, write it anyway! When exams come around, you won't regret it. Writetype as much of what she says as you can. I used notes from this class to write a paper for my gov class; that is how thorough you need to be.

Very interesting history class, but you need to show up everyday. only 3 test you need to take and 1 is optional. got a B+ on the first exam when to talk to her about my grade she brought it up to a A+ once I showed my notes and explained my reasoning. You don't need to study to pass. I would recommend.

Dr. Pollack is amazing. You won't agree with everything she says, but by the time you're done taking her class, you'll have activism on the brain. Read the books. They won't factor into everything she talks about, but you'll need them for the 1 test in the class. Same with notes, take lots. You'll also have a book report on a book of your choice.

I didn't expect to learn as much as I did in this class, but Pollack is an absolute genius. She moves very quickly, and it's difficult, but i can honestly say that learning in her class felt more meaningful than doing pointless busy work for some other class. She is also really there to help her students learn, and is very nice.

This class is exactly what I wanted out of college. You HAVE to work, and you HAVE to be interested in the subject, but the reward at the end of the semester is AMAZING. Do your readings, and talk to professor Pollack about your thoughts on the material. Don't take the midterm. Loved her so much I'm taking her again.

Pollack is by far the most wonderful professor I have ever had. For all the Freshman put off by negative reviews, these are from people who are in college to make a grade, not learn. Pollack is an educational genius. She could make me interested in a blade of grass. Learned SO MUCH, she cares about students, TAKE GOOD NOTES.

I survived this class by typing her lectures nearly word for word. Her exams are VERY specific to her lectures, so it is CRUCIALLY important that you take notes and give her your undivided attention. She is passionate and teaches the raw parts of history that the textbooks leave out. She gives very important advice the first day of class!!

I survived this class by typing lectures nearly word for word. Her exams are VERY specific to her lectures so it is CRUCIALLY important to give her your undivided attention. She is passionate. She teaches the raw parts of history the textbooks leave out. Her class is not easy but she offers help outside of class for those who need it.

When you take notes you have to be very specific and you must attend every class in order to pass, but even just putting in that effort alone will get you far. Give her your undivided attention and you will be fine. You will learn a lot from it!!!

Great teacher! The most interesting class that I've ever taken. Dr. pollack is blunt and speaks without a filter but it provides for entertaining and gripping. If you're looking for a class that shakes you up this is it. It helps to have a good television and movie iq, and with some students she's really good at establishing a connection.

Very amazing professor! Her lectures are always never boring. She teaches lessons that are not usual reads in general history books ex. jewish studies . Only 2 or 3 exams determine your grade. As an engineering major, I appreciate how this class does not garble a lot of time outside my class. Plus she has a great sense of fashion.

Wow. A life changing course. She is well renowned in her subject. One of my two favorite courses Ive taken at UNT. Yes, its very few exams. I just took her prompt and skimmed all of my notes for the whole day before the final. I got an A. If youre in school to be challenged, this is the type of class you want to take.

At first I panicked at her teaching style. She lectures without any power points or guidelines, you just have to write down everything she says. Midterm is optional. The final consisted of 2 essays (one based on lectures, one on readings). There's also a book report, only has to be 5 pages. Great course! She's very knowledgable!

Are you black? Are you tired of history representing you wrong and being represented wrong? She is awesome. Make sure you make it to every lecture and take hella notes. If you have time I recommend picking her brain as well. She is all about truth and will teach you things you didnt know before. Most definitely worth it.

Wonderful class if you want to learn more about the stuff most history textbooks leave out! Avoid this class if: you are a visual learner (Pollack does not allow laptops and she does not use power points) or you do not want to try hard to get an A. This class is very rewarding if you want to learn a lot and are good at writing essays.

This is the best professor I have ever had. She is inspiring, spunky, and brilliant. If you pay attention during class and take good notes, you'll get an A. Bonus if you interact and sit up front. There's no homework, just a mid term and final, but she is an incredibly fair grader. I feel incredibly lucky to have had her, I learned a lot.

Dr. Pollack's class was not an easy course, but it was extremely rewarding. If you're in school to learn, take any and all classes taught by her. She's a brilliant professor and cares deeply about her students and their success. Her lectures are entertaining. Best class I've taken.

Wonderful Professor, Is very knowledgeable about the subjects she teaches. As long as you attend class and pay attention and study you should be fine.
