It was an easy A. If you sign every attendance sheet you don't have to take the final. She includes 10 pts extra credit in every test, If you cram the day before it isn't hard to break 100. She is easily distracted, and allows very lax discipline. She let a few loud mouths really slow her down.

Well traveled and very funny. She has great energy and ecourages everyone to share their knowlegde in class. Spirited class discussions make the countries easier to remember. Her favorite city is Prauge, she'll have you itching to go by the end of the semester. She really has a lot to share, ask her questions. She is a great person and fair teacher

Don't get me wrong. She is very wacky. She teaches with great knowledge because she's been everywhere. If you have a strong memory, your golden. Study the atlas and your in good hands. She wants you to talk, so speak. Negative: She is extremely opinionated. If your Republican, well, you'll just have to ignore some comments. Otherwise take her.

She is alright. In class you go over about a page for 3 weeks. Learn a lot about the Jewish religion (hers) but barely anything else. Tests are very misleading and most people receive a C or lower (with a curve). BENEFIT: if you are there 100% attendance, you do not have to take the final exam.

Although she is strict about how the countries are drawn, you're taking a geography class... obviously it is kind of important! Do the work, and study the maps... you'll do perfect.

Don't do it! This professor is absolutely the worst teacher I've EVER had. She is lecture heavy (boring), goes off on her rants about how much she loves communist countries and hates religions. And FYI she is an older woman who is a "free spirit" that doesn't know what wearing a bra is. Inappropriate exposure through her thin dresses. Trust me!

I still love talking to Professor Feigenbaum even though Im not in her class anymore. She cares about you if you care about class! Highly recommend!

Great teacher, takes geography very seriously. She gets to know everyone and will notice your habits in class. Maps must be perfect to get an A, even just a minor accidental mistake of coloring outside the lines will get marked down. Her tests include a lot of the things she talks about in class and pages she refers to in the book. Fig Tree
