She reminds me of Ms. Frizzle from the magic shcool bus. Really enthusiastic

A total nut case! Kinda hard....but if she likes you...you

Best Teacher ever

Very wacky, but smart and funny and a great teacher

Very very interesting. Go to every class, take tons of notes, and memorize the review sheet. You'll get an A.

amazing enthusiasm! a little tough but well worth it

Great teacher,interesting class.Tests can be annoying, but go to class and you'll do fine.

crazy lady...knows her stuff. goes on lots of tangents. not much work overall, but everything comes at once

her class is really nerve racking. tests are massive and class is all over the place. But, if you generally go to class and make an effort she will help you out. Extremely nice

She's amazing! You just have to have a sense of humor to take her class. I learned so much in that class, but the tests are very, very hard!

She is the best tecaher at Loyola. Deffinately take her class. i never took my book out of the wrapper, never did one bit of homework, but there is a massive study guide for the midterm and final. I ended up with an A......Do extra credit

Great, funny, wacky, professor. I loved her side stories, comments, and clarity of material. Her tests can be hard but study and DO EXTRA CREDIT and you'll be fine. Take her...fun class.

AWESOME!!

She was extreamly jolly and jovial. If you were absent she wouldn't lower your grade but said "you prolly had somewhere better to be". She even called me at my house to let me know how well i did on the final.

She is Great. She is the type of person who is overwhelming to talk to just because she knows so much. If you show her some effort, and take a little time out of your schedule to talk to her, either about class or life, your grade will def. be helped ou

Awesome professor! Not good at giving tests though. Can do very well if you had a European History and/or Church History class. She knows her stuff very well. Very fun in class. Can suck up for extra points if need be fairly easily. I like the class

Insanely smart woman, very nice despite all the negative comments posted here about her. If you like history in general you will LOVE this class.

absolutely awesome! there was never a day i was bored in class...claims to be hard, but isn't that bad. she's incredible intelligent. i came away from the class knowing more than i ever thought i would!

jane edwards is crazy! class is very entertaining, she is really smart, midterm is difficult...take her, she makes western civ interesting

I absolutely love her! She is the most intelligent person I have ever met. Watching her teach is like watching an I Love Lucy episode. She is so entertaining and great. You will learn more than you even knew you could. She is an amazing person!

class was NEVER boring-- she cracked me up! but i found her grading really hard, especially when she didnt give things back on time. i got a bad grade on a paper, and though she gave me another chance (yay!), i had to do it during the summer.

Edwards is by far the most interesting teacher I have ever had. She thoroughly covers the content and she knows it so well. You really don't have to do the readings because she doesn't give quizzes. Make sure you prepare for her midterm though! DEFINITELY take her!

not that bad. Just write down everything she says and youll have no problem preparing for the test since the notes are all the test is on. Great teacher though, you really do learn alot.

Crazy Jane Edwards...she doesn't seem to care about attendence, but if you miss a class you really will miss a lot. Your entire grade is based on a midterm (5 identifications, 2 essays), an essay, and the final. She makes things fun, but I've never been more stressed. Do the extra credit!

Crazy but entertaining. xtra credit, which you'll need. Tests & 1 paper are entire grade but review sheets so you know exactly what to expect. Tests are always on major points in class so if you have ever showed up you will know something. LOT of reading but don't do it, just know review sheet

She is a nut. no serisouly she is mentally unstable...but she will make you laugh. If you get in good with here, the class is a joke. SHe lets you basically make up any bad grade wihth extra work and a little favortism. I didnt get over an 80 on any te

The only class in college that I ever enjoyed, in 4 1/2 years.

Touched my life. Inspired and gave me confidence in my abilities. Thank you.

She should be institutionalized. There are better teachers in the history department, avoid her at all costs.

Oh Crazy Jane Edwards!! Gotta love her! She's so eccentric and comptletely out there! It's something that i've come to appreciate and look forward to. Her class its ALL NOTE TAKING so pay attention! she doesn't give HW (DONT DO THE READINGS BY ANY MEANS!!) the only downside is her 12-15min short essay midterms. other than that she's a good time

She's nuts but she's hot!

She is hilarious because shes crazy, crazy in a fun way, class will never be boring, the midterm and final is kind of annoying but trust me you will stay intrigued in this class. I love crazy jane.

She definitely lives up to her name crazy Jane! Class is fun, she loves what she does. Her outfits are hilarious! Class is actually interesting and fun. The midterm and final may kill you but those are the only tests all semster! Only one paper, lots of extra credit available. No pop quizzes. Shes always available for help. You dont have to read!

Jane is nice, but throughout the semester it was impossible to know where you stood, grade wise. The class was interesting, but, although I learned a decent amount, and she's a good teacher, her grading policy/assignment policy was terrible.

Fairly easy class. She definately keeps you awake. I had a C+ midterm that went up to a B+ final. I had to take mad drugs to study for the final though. So much information required for a good grade (which I found out she demanded after the midterm) and I do well in history to begin with. Definately recommend though she's a great lady!

Crazy Jane is great. I didn't do well in her class in the end because I didn't take the midterm, but it's nearly impossible to fail this class. She's very funny and personable, and she's willing to help you. She wants you to succeed.

She will try to scare you in the beginning, and you will have your reservations after the first day BUT her class is my absolute favorite, she is the only person I know that can make history interesting she is very helpful and always invites you to visit her during her office hours and if you do she will give you hints. No quizzes is alot of fun.

Crazy Jane is awesome. If you bring her treats (she LOVES chocolate) and are nice to her and TRY to succeed, you will do well. Hint: do ALL the extra credit. its really easy. if you press her for info about the test, she will probably tell you. get on a personal level with her and you are IN.

Professor Edwards is a really cool lady who keeps class interesting, however this class is REALLY difficult if you are not a history major. If you do not want to write a 20 page paper, then do NOT take this class.

Jane is an AMAZING teacher! Her class is interesting (cause she's nuts) and I love it. The tests are difficult (timed). You'll have a lot of studying to do, and make sure you read the supp. texts, but other than that you'll do fine. Do all of the extra credit you can, and you'll never read out of the big textbook, I wouldn't even buy it.

If you are a history major or minor, you must take a class with Jane Edwards or you will never know true happiness. I recommend recording her lectures because you will catch more details when you repeat them. Read the books, do the extra credit, and if you're confused, either call or visit her to have it cleared up - it gives you brownie points!

One of the best history teachers I ever had. Attendance is not required at all, however you'll want to go anyway. No homework, no test, midterm + final + 1 paper. Go to class and notes you will get an good grade. the exams are not easy but not hard either. If you have the opportunity take this class. Eccentric style makes every class interesting.

She's a character. Super smart and good at teaching. You take notes every single class, so if you don't like taking notes then don't take her. Lets you do a lot of extra credit. Splits up the midterm into 3 sections, 1 paper, and final. Tests are kinda hard.

Crazy Jane is out of her mind, but I loved going to her class. There is no homework and as long as you read sparknotes for the supplemental texts you'll be fine. she gives you everything that will be on the tests so if you split up the study guide with friends you will be completely fine. take her class if you have a chance!

I took 4 classes with her and 10 years later still remember her lectures. One of my favorite professors. Really sparked my interest in modern European intellectual history.

The best teacher I have had here. the mid terms are not easy but the class is beyond helpful and interesting. Jane is the best!!

She is the type of teacher who has everything in her head. Watching her is like watching someone on the history channel. She is a good teacher and she really cares. You can't say that about many teachers today. She is forgiving when we don't do too great. On another note you have 1 midterm, final, and paper. I didn't like this type of problem.

CRAZY JANE! If you like history, you'll like her. She doesn't take attendance but all of the tests are based on the notes you get in class. She talks at the speed of lightning so she lets you record her. No HW, midterm is broken into 3 parts, 1 short paper and a Final. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! Sit in the front! You'll catch more and she'll notice you

Really smart, like brilliant. No homework, at all. Final and midterm are manageable. You really learn a lot.

She will be the best teacher you take at loyola. You have no homework and the test comes directly from what she says in class so take notes. She keeps you always interested and her class time goes by so fast because you are enjoying it, even if you do not have any interest in history.

Best teacher I have had!!! Has unreal knowledge, I was obsessed with her class! You must take notes to do well!

Jane Edwards is fantastic! Her class is extremely entertaining. Must take as many notes as possible. Follow her test structure exactly and know all details. You can do well if you write down all she says and attend office hours. She does not want to fail you!

She's amazing. Makes history the most interesting class I'm taking. She's so enthusiastic and truly brilliant.

She made me LOVE to go to her class every day. I used to look forward to it. She is truly a genius, and she is SO funny. The tests are set up in a time limit of 15 min, and you have to write 3 paragraphs. As long as you go to class you will pass this class. I HIGHLY recommend that you take this teacher. She will change your outlook on History.

She is a great history professor. Must take a lot of notes but there are no quizzes. Only assignment is a 3-part midterm broken up over the semester, a 3-5 page paper and a final. She keeps you interested by the way she teaches, tells history like its a comic book. Super energetic and peppy.

Crazy Jane gives best lectures, but is a VERY hard grader. She is one of the funniest teachers at Loyola. I look forward to taking another one of her classes.

Hands down, Dr. Edwards is one of my favorite teachers I've ever had. Her lectures were so riveting and her presence so positive that one day, she ran over fifteen minutes late to my class and no one left. Once you take one of her classes, you will want to take everything she teaches!

Prof Edwards made me crack me up every class. With boring material, she puts on a theatrical performance. I still laugh about it semesters later. She is very, very knowledgeable. You have to work extremely hard to get an A, but I received B+'s and A-'s on every exam and got an A because i was always in class and focused.

Amazing lectures. A little all over the place but if you type your notes its easy to stay organized. Very helpful in office hours. Not many grades but lots of extra credit.

Jane is brilliant, her lectures are interesting and give you a new whole new outlook on history. She is friendly and helpful, very reachable even outside of office hours. Taking her class made me want to learn more, even though I'm far from a history major. That being said, if you are not prepared to sit down and study for hours for an exam omit.

Jane has crazy lectures that go all over the place, and is a self proclaimed sadist for sure. But if you participate in the lectures when she asks the class questions she will like you and grade you easier! You are only graded on three things, but she gives the option of 5 extra credit papers, so do them! Jane is very smart and willing to help.

LOVE THIS WOMAN

I LOVE THIS WOMAN

She is absolutely insane but she is a great teacher. She has no problems moving tests around and she is very understanding. As long as you take notes and actually pay attention you'll be fine. She is a self proclaimed sadist and I loved her.

She is very funny. Everything on the tests she says, and she is very knowledgeable. You just have to get used to her bizarre mannerisms.

Prof. Edwards is nuts, but she is so funny and if you show you care (or act like you do) by talking to her after class, she will do everything she can to help you and give you a good grade. A lot of people don't like her, but be open to her chaos because you will learn a lot from her. Everything she talks about she tests, midterm, term paper, final

I love Jane Edwards, shes insane, dont get me wrong, but shes very passionate about the things she teaches. Her lectures are all over the place but everything connects in the end. If you take good notes youll get a good grade. She is a sweet lady with an odd sense of humor. Opened my textbook twice the whole semester and finished with a 98.

Professor Edwards is very passionate and knowledgeable about the subjects she teaches. I very much enjoyed her lectures and it feels very easy to participate and focus in her class. Overall, TAKE NOTES: if you take notes in her class and reach out to her during review sessions you should pass with a solid grade.

She's funny and likes to exaggerate. Kinda makes me think of the boomer version of a "quirky" girl because of the way she talks about some things being "totally crazy", but other than that she was pretty enjoyable. Recommendation: take notes. Her powerpoints are not that great so it's best to write down things while in class. Her quizzes are easy.
