She was very helpful and clear. She knew how to generalize detailed events.

Knows her stuff, cares about actually getting the facts right, expects her students to actually be able to write, and isn't in lock-step agreement with the rest of Texas. Check her class out.

Demanding but fair. Don't take this class unless you actually want to learn something.

Very informed and knows her stuff! Her course is demanding but no more so than any other history course that is writing intensive. She was available to advise and counsul me whenever I requested her assistance.

Firm and fair. Has high expectations of herself first and, as a consequence, of her students.

Intelligent and informed. A liberal oasis, with the facts to back up her opinion. Not the easiest, but did you really take out all those student loans to be as ignorant as you were when you started?

Smart as a whip, funny and makes you think. Not for those who want to be slobbering idiots who just repeat what they're told. You can't come out of this class thinking the same way you went in.

Tough and fair. Enjoys her subject matter Learning from her is a pleasure. Available for assistance, but do not waste her time. She is a self starter and expects the same of her students. If you are a lazy student look elsewhere.

LOTS of reading, writing & thinking; she assumes you are as smart as she. Uses blackboard and provides you w/a lot of info, reviews well for tests, lectures are interesting & she expects participation. VERY challenging. You'll work hard and learn lots.

A dedicated and challenging teacher. Highly knowledgeable about her subject (and much that is peripheral to it). Her classes are clear and bring out the main issues well. The course work mirros this and it's worth trying hard since you'll get at least as

Not for the lazy or uncommitted, you will work hard, but it is worth it.

She is extremely intelligent and will make you a better writer. She does have high standards and there is a lot of reading and writing but it is all very interesting subject matter. Take this class if you want a challenge.

I loved Dr. Maggie. She took us to the Tap Room on the day of the final and we got to see a side of her that most didn't see in the classroom. An outstanding person, I recommend her to anyone who is serious about history. Go to class and take notes (or get them off the net... yes they're there). Great professor if you're serious about college.

Her lectures were boring and hard to follow, and the multiple choice quizzes were painful... BUT, she was always very helpful, and the Essay portions of the class were extremely fair. Caution though: PEOPLE TEND TO TAKE HER HUMOR THE WRONG WAY.

Don't take this prof if all you want is an easy grade. She will make you work for it, but it is so worth it. I loved this class, and I would definitely reccomend it. Just make sure that you're coming to class every day. You'll get a better grade if you speak up once in a while too.

Menninger is fantastic, a real find at this place. Smart, witty, and a babe. She actually is worth all that tuition; you'll know more and write better than you ever thought you could.

I didn't think I'd like this course or this prof. but they both turned out great. Charming and wicked smart, what more do you want out of a prof.

If you are a good student and enjoy history, you should like her. Start from the first day trying to get on her good side, and she will like you too. Super intelligent and fiercely witty, she is a rare find at this school.

Possibly the best prof at TxState. She requires you to learn and have a thorough understanding. Witty, extremely smart, and interesting lectures. If you came to school to get an education, then you can't do better than her. If you're looking for an easy A, you shouldn't be in college in the first place.

It's obvious who is responsible for the spam comments on here. So she gave Bs. Get over it. She really wasn't all that bad. She has a soft spot if you would just go talk to her and not expect to be coddled. Grow up already and move on with your lives. Let her move on with hers.

Good students will like her, slackers will think she's too hard. She is one of my personal faves in the history department. People that think she is rude are just used to being coddled. She puts a lot of effort and materials into each lecture and gives you tons of resources for help.

Doesn't suffer fools lightly, did you really go to college to be hand-fed?

Dr. Menninger is a thorough and exemplary professor perfect for students who are prepared to both work and learn. Witty and fully qualified, she teaches with a well balanced combination of casualness and authority suitable for a tenure professor who truly embraces what it means to do what one loves and thusly passes on that passion to her students.

Dr. Menninger kicks all kinds of ass. Her classes aren't easy, and if you can't handle humour, then don't bother. I detect little ego other than what it takes to stand in front of people and profess. If you don't like her, fine. That will make it easier for others to get into her classes; they are nearly always full.

GOOD TEACHER. A LOT OF ESSAY WRITING. ALLOWED 3 ABSENTS. KIND OF HARD.

Believe it or not, Dr. Menninger is human. Yes, she is brilliant, but she is not terrifying. If you go into her class knowing this and applying any of the same ethics you would in any other class you take seriously, you will do fine. Don't kiss her ass and don't try to have a pissing contest, take notes and if you have a question, ask.

Engages her students. Very good prof. Pay attention, take notes, read book, you will get an A. I got a B+ and I didnt even try that hard. She is a vey nice lady, she is wickedly smart.

I am going to give Prof props on hottness. Streepish,, yes and Prof speaks several languages and plays an stunning violin. That's hot. Great prof as well:) Givin it up. Also, could the haters please go have a beer or something. You think too much.

Great teacher; gets very into lecture with lots of hand gestures and loses her breath.

An absolutely phenomenal professor and person. She engages the class, and is treats the students with respect?as equals. Probably one of the most influential professors that I have had. The challenges you, and has expectations, but you come out better for it.

Very good prof, you are allowed 4 absences. Easy class but make sure you have a good thesis early in semester and start on the 15 page paper as soon as you can and you will do fine.

Professor Menninger loves history, its painstaking obvious, but is a EXTREMELY hard grader and is tough. Shes tough with her quizzes (which I read most chapters) and did horribly on! Quizzes are X-Choice and tough. If you are not a decent writer DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Tests are all essays and prompts given b/f class which is why she grades so hard

I have taken Dr Menninger for three classes.All of them were challenging, even Western Civ.However, she makes them very interesting.Dr M is a wealth of knowledge and that only became more apparent when I had her for Senior Seminar.She knows something about everything.Very funny and Meryl Streep hot.Don't regret taking her a bit despite my grades.

Here's the deal. College is not the 13th Grade. She expects her students to be able to analyze a topic, formulate an idea, and support it with facts. Her quizzes require basic reading comprehension, and her lectures are relevant, interesting and funny. If you plan on a degree in History, take her.

This was by far the hardest class I have ever taken... And one of the most fun. She's hard, but an excellent teacher, funny, and very willing to help if you actually want help, not the answer. Expect a bit of eccentricity and a lot of work, but you will learn, guaranteed.

A professor that not only pushes you to new limits, but one that takes a genuine interest in both her students and her subject. Don't expect an easy A. She is demanding, but if you are up for the challenge, take her class. Do your reading! Prepare for class!

Fantastic professor! I changed majors mid-semester, which made her class obsolete but I refused to drop it! She is hard, but, this is also an upper level course! Tests are easy if you do the study guide; my God, she GIVES you the questions she'll be asking! I highly recommend her class!

National Socialism class. Fantastic professor! Very hard and very worth it. I learned more from her than any professor I have had. Very thorough and expects a lot. YOU MUST READ! I would take any class from Dr. M. If you are not prepared school beyond high school, don't take this class.

Class lectures are set around topics, not chronologies, but it is required a general and chronological understanding for exams. Be detail oriented and mostly articulated in defending your position in your essays (in-class exams & research papers). Professor has great knowledge of topic (and outside too) - IF YOU WORK HARD, YOU'LL BE FINE!

I absolutely LOVE dr.m. She's is sarcastic & a bit harsh so if you offend easily don't take her class. She challenges you, but establish a relationship & she will help you out as much as possible. Read the book, come to class & participate in discussions, & you will do extremely well

Wonderful!

Get Ready!! Menninger is wonderful, (very) challenging, but wonderful. I have taken three different classes with her and the audited two more! Is very knowledgeable and eager to teach. Go to office hours!!

Dr. M is a wonderful professor. Students who want an intellectually stimulating course and quality, substantive feedback should take her course. Sure, her writing comments might initially seem harsh, but if you read her notes, she genuinely cares about her students improving.

Dr. Menninger is a very funny gal (although her sarcastic humour may not be for everyone) & she cares deeply about her students. There are quite a few assignments & they are tough sometimes, but she gives a lot of extra She is almost always open to meeting with you outside of class. She is a Harvard graduate, & it was a pleasure being taught by her

Dr. M is the kind of prof you want if you are serious about college. She is deeply read on her subject & respected internationally (Harvard grad). That said, she can be a bit short in class, but don't take it personally and she respects students who argue back. She loves fearless students who do the reading and show it by participating in class.

This class was challenging, but it is an advanced history course. I found her to be engaging and humorous. Her feedback was always helpful; the class itself was just hard for someone who had never taken an advanced class. Going to office hours helped a lot, and he bumped up my final grade a bit. Dr. Menninger is amazing; I'd take her class again
