Excellent teacher, she makes the class so much more fun, the enviroment is so different as compared to the other classes. Even though this is a His class,her concept taught me what crititcal thinking is about. The best teacher I ever had, I learn so much

Dr. Feig's knowledge and enthusiasm of history is contagous. She inspired me to take non required history classes.

no need for memorizing and exam questions given one week before being tested. great deal of fun being taught how to exercise the brain muscle!

she's great! if only all political science and history teachers teach the way she does. No need to memorize but using critical thinking is really important!

Great teacher with a good heart. Learned a lot.

Excellent treacher! Really cares about the students. Clear, interesting lectures. No need to memorize, just understand and THINK! Does not appreciate student yawns...too bad, YOU ARE AT COLLEGE, SHOW YOUR RESPECT AT LAST!! Take it, you won't regret!

Feig is by far the best teacher I have had the pleasure of knowing. her teaching style may seem abnormal but it gets you where you need to be to truly grasp what it is that she is teaching.

Online class- After reading the other reviews I wish I'd had the pleasure of taking this course in person. I learned a lot from this class. It's a different format from other online classes, but very interesting.

Brilliant. Knows more about world than anyone. Cares so much about students it must be painful for her. Nothing she won't do for a student. Learned how to be an analyst and thinker. Its all about thinking. And she is funny. Remarkable class.

fall of 2002; You can tell that she really loves what she does, and sitting through her class will be the highlight of your day. She's inspiring. Take her class, you won't regret it.

Dr. Fieg is one of the most inteligent people I have ever met. BRILLIANT I should say. She loves what she does and her courses are very easy to follow and get an A in. She has inspired me to learn more about history . She is a great humanitarian too.

Just dont yawn and you'll be good. Very good teacher with great life experiance. Easy to get on her good side. say's she cant remeber names, but I know she knows mine. Great teacher

She was great!

Dr. Feig is a remarkable woman. She wants her students to THINK (her emphasis), not recite a million facts. She teaches history not just as events in time, but as an unfolding awareness of people and humanity--with a fascinating story told along the way.

she is awsome!!! the best teacher i have ever had, and she actually seems to care about her students. this woman is amazing. highly recommend!

Dr.Feig is a firecracker,organized class with TAs but loses her place sometimes. Attendence is manditory! You choose a book report; double essay and M/C midterms are handed out a week in advance and grades come back quick.Princples not facts!Expects a lot

I took her online class. A lot of reading, but not nessary. Just read what you are going to write about and your will be fine. I highly recommend her class.

Online class. Do not fall behind! I did. I got As on the first two assignments & didn't do the last one, so ended with a B in the class. My fault. :( The best prof! Great class! Learned SO much! Very difficult writing assignments, but worth it.

I feel appreciated in this class.

interesting person. class was very easy - just write a few papers and add lots of analysis on how you think the history happened. I learned alot in the class abt basic facts and thinking abt history more logically.

She's the best ever. Hard though, so be ready and be brainy.

Hilarious teacher. If you want to have a fun free class, take Feig. Plus, if you are an athlete, you are almost guaranteed to pass. Whatever you do, don't yawn.

Professor Feig is amazing. She is always willing to help out her students and she is very sympathetic to individual issues. She works hard and constantly gives of herself. Even if you don't like history, her classes are interesting. She's a brilliant historian and an amazing person.

Class was great. Feig is one of the most inspiring and intelligent people I have ever met. If you don't understand, type in "Dr. Koynilln Feig" on google and you'll realize she's the real deal. I gained a great deal of wisdom from her and reccommend the class.

Absolutely. She is a very experienced historian who has the unique ability to get a group of largely apathetic students to become very interested in history.

One of best seen. Cares more for students than anyone. Gives 150%. Athletes don't get special treatment. They just get respect. Always in class. Never misses. Don't understand other rater. Flexible, funny and so smart.

She rules. What a brilliant lady. We are fortunate to have her at Foothill College. I feel so much smarter after taking her class. She's a rare gem to be valued highly. I think she's Gods gift to Foothill College. If you're not willing to work hard and learn a lot, avoid her class. Be smart!

Her material leads you in a way I thought I would never understand and then suddenly bingo - you get it and I loved the class because of her obvious knowledge and intelligence.

if you can get sucked into your essays, then i think she really appreciates that. by far the best damn teacher every in my years at public school from K-college. If you get bored in this class, then you'll get bored in all classes. Alos, be sure to cover you mouth when you yawn.got A in all essays.

Nice lady. Crazy and funny. You'll get a kick out of how her mind works.

THE BEST PROFFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD! Period. Crazy but in a good way. One of the first two people to teach the holocaust in the US. Take her honors seminars and then you will see why she is the real McCoy. A wealth of knowledge (most of it first hand) and a real joy and honor to have as my professo

Simply the most inspiring woman Ive ever met. She is brilliant and humble and most importantly, compassionate. This woman cares so much for all her students. As a professor, she does not look for right and wrong, she wants students to think. She is so progressive and open. She is quite a character.

the best history teacher at foothill. and the hottest! oh my!

The best professor at Foothill and the best teacher I've ever had. A true gem. Amazing credentials. Crazy in a good way. Incredibly knowledgable. If you like history as I do, the class is an easy A. Three tests (essay, in class essay, take home multiple choice). No experience at Foothill is complete without taking a class from Dr. Feig.

I liked the course because her teaching style and methods weren't of the expected. She really gets enthusiastic and wants her students to think critically and enrich their minds with history. The fact that they were multiple essay portions for the course was a plus for me because I detest multiple choice questions.

Great course and Dr. Fieg has an amazing wealth of knowledge that everyone should get the chance to be privy to. I took her class online, which was unfortunate becuase I lacked much time with Feig, but I still felt I got a lot out of the class. She encourages additional reading on the material and personal insight; great professor, great class!

Her knowlede is extensive, she may have forgotten more than most people know.

i took her probably 4-5 years ago, and had a blast. if you can take general notes and write a decent sentence, you will do fine. i got extra credit on everything because i made sure to "quote" her lectures in my papers. and shes absolutely nuts, but it made early class interesting. shes great. take her class.

Probably the best teacher I have ever had. If not the best then at least top 3. (And that is out of all my teachers during 13 years of school.) Sarcastic, funny, doesent make you memorize dates and such, she just asks for your view of things. I wrote my take-home-midterm 1 week ago and got my grade back today: A+ with "You are exeptional, thank you for a good read David." And all I did was to write what I thought of things. I love this! :) (Her classes online are just as good.)

By far the best teacher I have ever had in my life. One of the only times where I absolutely wanted to go to class and when I wasn't in class I wanted to be. I learned more from Dr. Feig in 2 years than I did in 12 years of elementary and high school. She is also a very caring person and deeply cares about her students. She also enjoys teaching and that shows through in everyone of her classes. I should know because I have taken every history course that she teaches.

This was a great class. It was really easy but I still learned a lot. I would definitely recommend taking any of her classes

best teacher ever! take her class...take notes, write a good paper, pay attention, and you'll do fine!

She is an excellent teacher. she really cares about her students and "refuses to allow us to fail" Really, she's very sweet and one of those teachers that still tries her best to teach. Her classes are always interesting and if you pay attention in class you'll do fine. She's very encouraging and easy to talk to after class, but dont be rude!

She is one of the best teachers I have ever had, because she tries to get students to really think instead of just momorizing and forgeting a week later. This is deep learning. If you follow directions (which are really esasy) and write ALOT, then you'll do just fine, and I mean "A+"

I really enjoyed taking her class. Her passion of history makes you want to know more. Her teaching style is completely different, but entertaining. A lot of essays, but the topics are relatively easy. Very helpful, always asking what she can do for you.

shes crazy...crazy like a fox! shes a great teacher and as you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! you will be fine!

Had for hist 4a. Interesting lecturer, lots of enthusiasm for history. Be very careful that you are not rude with her, and that you follow instructions. Take-home exams are time-consuming but reasonable. Her assignments are quite different from any other history teacher I've had. Occasionally presented her political opinions about current issues.

Dr.Feig is honestly a great teacher. She is inspiring, her class is so interesting. Some people say shes hard but shes not you just have to think alot about the material. She makes history interesting because you learn it as a story, not as a text reading. I HIGHLY reccomend her!

interesting class loved it online

A passionate teacher with unusual methods, a weath of knowledge and laid back teaching styles. Homework is minimal, but you should know your stuff. She is an expert in her field although she often goes on tangents so you might not realize it right away. If you are interested in learning: she will like you, you will learn and likely enjoy it

I took Feig's 4C online, and it was great. Most history teachers who will make you memorize dates, names and what not. However she was more interested in students exploring on their own. The grading was simply 3 essays, no quiz's, no tests. Since the evidence for the essays can come from online, you don't even have to read the book.

I really liked this class, I didnt know anything about this region before but after the class I definetly know a lot more now!

Took a year ago, but i remember enjoying it. I'll be honest, i could've done more work, but i still got a B. Lectures are important, although she tends to go off topic. She is sweet and approachable. Take home tests & essays, & movies. Highly reccomend.

The best and most skilled professor I've had at Foothill. Has an extremely high and diversified knowledge in her fields, very experienced. If you have any interest in learning from an outstanding history professor, this is the right teacher for you! If you are thinking, you'll receive a good-great grade, without having to actually work too much.

She is the bomb!! Sometimes hard, but easy once you get used to it. I thought it was going to be lame, but when it was over i was all into 300 (the movie) and crap! Take this class and tell her Gabby says, "Hi"!!

Excellent teacher, especially for 4C and Honors classes - passionate, fun and highly qualified. Will definitely enroll in more classes.

I took an online class with Feig. The mid-term papers needed to be long(10pgs)or more and there were four of them. The grading is very fair though. Not recommended for anyone that doesn't like to write long papers.

What an outstanding teacher! She is extremely knowledgeable in her field, so if you are interested in learning from a real expert, take her class. Be warned that she is a real nut-case. But she is extremely nice and cares a lot about her students and their success. Highly interesting lectures, yet easy on the workload. Excellent class and teacher!

Amazing teacher! I can understand why some find her bewildering, since the class I am taking with her this quarter got off to a slightly hectic start, but she is really brilliant and tries her best to help you as much as possible. Best tactic is just to try your best and pay attention to get the most you can from her lecture. Strongly recommended!

This was my first honors class, but not my first class with Dr Feig. The seminar format that she uses is excellent and there is a wonderful sense of community in the class and great opportunities to become really involved with the subject and work with your peers. I really enjoyed this class and learned a lot - Dr Feig is an excellent professor.

Dr. Feig is a wonderful and useful instructor. However, you need to do a lot of writing and video watching(if u take the lecture class). I strongly recommanded this instructor to anyone. Just don't rush your essay before the due date and you will be fine.

Dr. Feig is the kind of teacher who will change your life--if you care enough to show up, do the work, and participate. Participation is key in all of her courses, as is the reading. If you don't do the reading and don't participate, don't whine about your grade. Her grading system is more than fair, and the expectations of the students are clear.

This class appeared to be a lot of work, a lot of time, and a lot of investment. It was, but it is VERY WORTHWHILE. She can definitely be harsh, but she is also one of the most understanding professors that I've had a class with. DEFINITELY TAKE HER CLASSES, just be ready to work for your grade.

I can understand why some people dislike her and others love her, stay on her good side and you'll be golden, however if you are lazy/stupid/highly oppositional don't waste your time because you WILL be singled out. I really like her as a professor, you WILL get an A if you follow her directions, use your head, and write competently.

Dr. Feig is an amazing teacher! She occasionally goes on a tangent, but she is an incredibly intelligent woman. It is really about the students in the class since the class is based mostly on presentations and class discussions. I would highly recommend taking any class with Dr. Feig - especially an honors seminar!

You won't find a teacher who cares more about her students. The honors seminars are fun but if you don't put in any effort you won't learn anything. Basically you get out of the class what you put into it. One of the best teachers at Foothill.

I had Dr. Feig for all three quarters of Western Civ and found her class to be interesting and well-taught. She is easy to communicate with and great to work with.

Has a unique way to teaching history. Gives take home test which aren't too hard. He lectures can be a bit tough to follow sometimes.

With her, the "thinking" is important. Very helpful, but students really have to take the initiative to do things. After all, she expects her students to be individuals with motivation and interest on the subject. Contrary to previous comments, she is open to other bibliographies and research, and very much likes hearing her students' opinion.

One of the most brilliant professors ever! My peers have taken her several times because they are challenged with her, and she is definitely supportive of students who are achievers. Totally awesome professor and person!!! I'd like to be in her class again!

Although she can be hectic sometimes, she really does know her stuff. Very respected scholar in her field, and great person.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! It's cool to have a professor who seems to have done it all! It's a challenge and an honor to work with her!

I never liked history until this class! Dr. Feig is a passionate professor who truly cares about her students. If you just use your head (think), follow directions (no yawning!), and attend class regularly, it is hard to get less than an A or a B.

DEFINETLY ONE OF THE EASIEST CLASSES I'VE TAKEN. I TOOK BOTH 4A AND B ONLINE AND AS LONG AS YOU JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS YOU WILL DEFINETLY GET AN A IN THE CLASS. ITS SUPER EASY THE ESSAYS ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD AND YOU HAVE A WEEK TO DO THEM. JUST DONT SLACK OFF AND YOU'LL BE FINE

I took this class online and so I never saw her so I'm not sure if she's hot or not....Also I don't know the ISBN number. If you take her class online, you'll be asked to lots of reading....Her class doesn't use Etudes so beware of a transition. It may be hard at first. But try hard and really use imagination/passed history class references to soar

There is a lot of writing. However, the class is fairly easy if you keep up with the material. My only complaint is that her online book is frustrating to say the least, yet if you have a fair knowledge of history , it's not so much a problem. Take her on campus class if you are unsure.

I honestly spent about 4 hours per essay(including reading/researching) and got A+ on both of them, I don't know if she just grades easy or I'm showing that I'm "thinking" more than just trying to get the grammar right. However, it appears she's trying to connect with students on a personal level and I enjoyed the class

Please disregard the comments of the last person as they obviously have no idea what they are speaking about. Feig is not the current dean- she is a former dean. Do the work and you'll do fine. Grow up and let it go.

This course was a lot of work but easy to understand (by the way I took it in summer) so it was accelerated. Do the work and follow her exact directions, you will get an A!

She's a great teacher, thats all.

Extremely fun class. Takes you through the material with ease, doesn't require a lot.

It's rare to find a professor like her. Hopefully she'll overcome health problems though as it slows down her work. But her dedication to her students is astounding! Very much loved her class. She truly wants her student to go beyond their learned skills. If you're lazy, spoiled & just plain in it for an "A", I suggest you find another teacher.

It's a privilege to have her as professor.

Dr. Feig is a fantastic professor. She truely cares about each individual student. Her class is simple and strait forward, not to mention very interesting. There is a lot of reading but she is very clear with her expectations and how to succeed in her class. Follow the instructions to a tee and you'll be in good shape.

I love professor Feig. She has had an amazing life and truly cares about education. I learned the most at Foothill from her honors classes. She will not let you get away with slacking off. You must show up to every class and participate. There is a paper/project and a 3-part written final for her seminars. I highly recommend her to anyone.

She cares about the subject she's teaching, but she's scattered and does not tolerate opinions different than her own. Brings great guests to speak. Either you'll love her or hate her. Don't miss lectures. Show interest. Participate now and then and you'll get an easy A.

love her! took a bunch of classes with her while at foothill she was very involved in making me the best i could be in class and in transferring! take her and make sure you read and participate!

The terrible reviews on this site do not reflect my experience of this teacher. I enjoyed our history class and learned a lot. She is tough, and not always in a good way; also, her lectures were sometimes too off-topic. Overall she is kind and funny and teaches a rewarding course.

I had her for History 4A and 9.Having her as a teacher has impacted my life. I wish to teach middle school history. I went into her class nt knowing what I wanted.

Great class. Definitely kind of hard, but she makes it interesting. I took the class online and I got an A.I will admit History is one of my favorite subjects, but I think she is a great teacher. She can be unclear and her webbook is kind of difficult to figure out. But she is open to questions and really understanding.

Here's the deal with the online class: don't take it if you're not good at governing yourself. If you take the time to read carefully, be thorough, and meet deadlines - you're good as gold. Slackers: better take another class. Feig emphasizes critically thinking for yourself and cultivating your own opinions. Bombed final paper, still got a B+.

Took her class over the summer, online. Feig was a pretty fair professor. She takes time to read students' essays and provides great feedback. She can definitely tell when you put in work or not. Received a B+ in the course, so the grading was pretty fair. She really looks for your own thinking/analyzing. Planning to take her class again!

Mrs. Feig is a funny duck. But awesome. She really cares about her students and will help them to succeed if they want to. For the honors course it is a presentation or essay for the classwork and 3 essay questions for the final. If you are willing to put up with her rough edges I definitely recommend this course.

I keep coming back to give her good ratings because I simply like her. Took online class. She's a very fair grader as I've mentioned before. ANALYZE, ANALYZE, ANALYZE. She loves learning from students' essays and responses. Received A+. Planning to take Hist4C with her again!

Dr. Feig is my all time favorite professor, she has spunk and keeps things interesting. Be sure to do the reading before class, her website is dates, but at least it's not a Pearson website (like my history lab). If you write well (all test are essay format) and participate you'll get an A. She hates excuses, so don't skip class!

I have taken Dr. Feig for both online and on campus, and she is great. While I prefer to take her on campus, I know what I am signing up for, and it's worth it. She coaches you to be successful. Plus she is not the one forcing you to take her online classes nor is she responsible. If you pay attention and follow directions, you will be fine!

Hands down, the best professor I've ever had! I learned more in her classes than I'd ever learned before, and I still remember it now... Plan to implement her teaching style into my own classroom!

I took her online Hist class back in 2002 and am signed up for 2 more classes for Winter 2015 with her. Same website as back then, but hey, she's an easy professor so long as you do the work. Clear expectations, turn in your work on time and you'll pass.

Very good !
