WOW very boring class, but very easy. Teacher might be crazy............

She does lecture a lot, and it is boring at times... all lectures are. If you're interested in what she's talking about, though, and you can stay focused, the class becomes very interesting. Note taking is a must, though.

She's a very smart woman who is a wonderful professor.

She Is A Great Teacher, I Learned So Much. She Is Very Understanding If You Miss Class As Long As You Have A Reason

she is a great teacher and her course style is not hard at all and interesting for the most part! take her class

Great lady, teaching is pretty good compared to other history teachers. She loves history and has a passion for teaching

She is a great teacher and the course is actually interesting if you give it a chance. The workload is definitely doable, not too tedious at all. Great teacher, great lady!

Her lecturing can be very boring but if you pay attention, there's nothing to worry about. The quotes keep you into the class so you don't stray away and she's more lenient than I thought in the beginning.

Best proffesor ever!! Took her class twice. Very passionate in her lectures. I learned more in that class then in any other. SHe is very understanding and leniant in her grading.

Look, no teacher is just going to throw you an A... well, esptein in ma117... but other than that you have to try and work for it. if you just read the main text book for this class, it's a simple breeze. pay attention in class and participate and you'll get yourself an A. just put some effort.

she is boring, but if you have a fun class she will have fun with them. she can joke around and it's always good to have a teacher that cancels class a lot. i did not get an A, but if i had done better on the tests i would have.

Dorment is a great proffesor. Go to class and listen to what she is saying and you will pass. She gives a writing assingment that goes on for the whole semester but in the end that replaces the term paper. She loves what she is teaching and just wants everyone to do well.

just go to class and take notes on what she says you dont even really need the text book, but u do need the source book. the quote project is fun to do and easy, i loves her so i took her for both classes!

amazing teacher, helped a lot and understood any problem you might have

She is the sweetest lady ever. You talk about current events a lot which is way more interesting than Western Civ. As long as you do the work, you'll get a good grade. Def. the best teacher that teachers Western Civ!

Take this class. It is very easy, but you learn quite a bit. The tests are everything out of the notes from lectures. She gives one project, the wuote project which if you do it right, you should get a 100 on. Take this class.

Great teacher, nice lady. Very helpful. Tests are easy as long as you study. Be prepared to take notes, all she does is lecture. But if you do well on all her tests which are very easy you'll get an A. I took her class twice and got A's in both.

EXCELLENT TEACHER, ALL SHE DID WAS LECTURE...TAKE NOTES AND YOU'LL DO FINE...TEST WERE EASY

I had Dorment at 8:30am and despite what many say, I didn't fall asleep to the class being exceptionally boring. Infact, I thought the class was pretty interesting, as long as you keep up with the reading. The quotes pissed me off a litte, but in the end it was all good. i don't want to knock the class either cuz i met my gf through that class!

1. DO the Quote project. 2. Take notes. You'll be fine. tests are based off the notes. exclusively.

All you have to do is take good notes, and ull ace the tests. Class can get boring at times, she also rambles on about her personal life, def not interested.

The best class out of my entire first semester! She is so helpful! Great teacher, very funny. Take notes and do the quote project and you will be fine. She tells you what to study for the tests. Participate a lot and she will love you! Also, she loves it when students are creative! So be creative with the quote project for an easy A!Take her class!

Absolutely wonderful person! Funny, helpful and willing to have discussions about current events and the world. Professor Dorment obviously thinks about her syllabus, and the quote project is a fun and low stress assignment. Do it periodically and relate it to current events. Take notes! Some people believe she speaks quickly; try a tape recorder!

Dorment is the best.. anyone who thinks otherwise definately does not appreciate a good teacher

the absolute best history professor, shes so nice and extremely clear with information. it doesnt seem like lecture, more like just a chat with the class. work load isnt bad at all, i wish she taught every history course at monmouth, i would always take her!

Dorment is a great teacher. she gives like 3 or 4 tests and they are all essays but she goes over the material thats gonna be on the test beforehand, so you know what to expect. she goes by the syllabus with the readings and you have to hand in 10 quotes over the course of the semester and do a project at the end. i would take her agian

Victorian Culture was my second class with Professor Dorment and I absolutely love her! Shes very helpful, interesting and always has great discussions in class. However this is ALOT of reading and writing, but you can get by with just skimming or taking really good notes! 3 exams, short papers due every week but worth it! Def take her!

Had her for Victorian Culture. Wasn't a bad class, but it was hard to get into it. Very knowledgeable about what she teaches. Class was far outside my field of study but managed to pass pretty well, so its not impossible. Prepare for a good challenge if you take the plunge.

Maureen is the best - - She is an incredibly helpful human being who is genuinely interested in her students' success and their paper topics. She made the Research Seminar a breeze and an absolute pleasure to do. She gives credit where credit is do and is the most down to Earth professor in the history department.

What an awesome professor. She is probably one of the most well educated individuals I've personally ever met. She offers a new, interesting perspective to everything (Past to Current Politics). She is very approachable and to this day we still talk frequently. I highly recommend her for everyone, not just Honors students. Amazing Professor!!

She is a great professor who really knows her subject. She knows so many random historical facts and brings them up in class to make the topics more interesting. I had fun with her class even though it was an 830. And as an advisor she was really helpful and soo sweet!

I took her for honors w civ 102. The quote project she has is a drag, I had tons of reading to do constantly, and I took SO many notes. She's a great teacher, I'm just not into any sort of history, so this class was torture for me...

She's a great teacher, very smart and concise. Always willing to have a discussion (current events at the beginning of each class). Reading for every class and a fair amount of writing too. She prepares you well for the exams. If you put in the effort, you'll do fine. Highly recommend.

She is an absolute saint. The sweetest women Ive ever met and wants everyone to do well. 3 tests and a project, but she tells you exactly whats on everything. I learned so much and she keeps it interesting.She is a perfect professor and my favorite one at Monmouth. Just keep up with the quotes and her class is fine.DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND TAKE HER.

Great teacher, light work load. Do the readings assigned to keep up with class discussion and you will do fine. There isn't hw everynight but you have to do 10 quotes through out the semester. Not bad at all. Take Her!

TAKE HER! I had her for honors Western Civ and she was amazing. One of my favorite professors at Monmouth. No exams (for honors) just papers. Work load is very do-able, interesting, and helps when writing your papers. Sweetest woman you'll ever meet.

Dorment is an extremely nice woman who really is passionate about history. She never minds clarifying material and always does reviews the class before the test so you literally know exactly what to prepare yourself for. Theres 10 quotes you need to do, but an easy 20% of your grade. Take good notes, listen, and participate; you'll do great

She is one of the nicest and sweetest ladies I have ever met! I'm a business major but she made the class and material interesting. She pretty much lectures the whole time but if she asks a question, raise your hand. She will really appreciate it and love you. There were only three exams (including the final) and the layouts are exactly the same.

Very nice lady and helps out a lot when you visit her for office hours and such. Her class was pretty tough for me. As long as you put time and effort into this, you'll get by with the B range

Professor dorments class was challenging but she offered so much extra help. She had available office hours always and would do what it took for you to get an A or B. I truly did like her a lot

I had her for western civ 1. She really knows what she's talking about and is willing to help those who don't understand the material. Her tests aren't easy but as long as you study what she gives you, you'll be fine! Pretty easy workload - just some quote write ups. Great class!

Professor Dorment is such a sweet woman. I had her for first year seminar, it dealt with culture war in America. It was actually really interesting. She gave a lot of papers for a first year seminar class, but they were easy reaction papers. She always wants to know what is going on in the world and likes when you participate.

She is a lovely lady. Her lectures are very boring but just deal with them. There is three tests and the easiest homework ever. She gives take home exams so you can use your notes. Very easy! TAKE HER!

Dorment was a great professor. She talks a lot and classes consist of mainly lectures, but it was a fairly easy class if you like history. Shes a little bit of a tough grader because, but overall it was a great class. If you are looking for a good class to take, I would definitely recommend her. She's very nice and there to help you if you need it.

Professor Dorment was my favorite professor last semester! She assigned readings for every class, and in order to do well on the tests you have to know the readings. If you pay attention to her lectures and take good notes, you will do very well. She is very willing to help you catch up if you find yourself struggling. I'd definitely take her again

I love Dorment she is so sweet and nice but she is a tough grader and assigns a lot of reading.

Maureen is the OG. She loves what she teaches and only one exam was in class - our second exam and final exam were both take-home papers. There's a quote project that lasts the whole semester - do one a week and you'll be fine. Show up to class and take notes and you'll be fine. DO THE READINGS, but it's not VITAL if you can skim easily.

Lovely professor if you show up. Lectures every day and reading for every class (reading necessary for the work but only needed for in-class participation.) Very few essays, ten one page papers due for a simple final project. Helps if you get to know her and establish a relationship.

Professor Dorment was an amazing professor. She was my first college professor and I really enjoyed her class. She started off class by asking whats new in the world? And we were encouraged to talk and share our opinions. Her insight is fantastic and he is very knwoeldgable about history. And she also tells amazing, funny stories! Great teacher!

Professor Dorment is the sweetest human being in the world!!! If you show you care about her class, she will love you. A lot of papers and she is a tough grader, and you read SO MUCH! I would take her though if you have the chance.

Professor Dorment is a fantastic professor. She makes history come alive. Her class is very lecture heavy and that can be hard at times to take notes, but she is very knowledgeable about the topic. She is a tough grader and does make you work for it. BUT SHE IS AN AMAZING PROFESSOR! TAKE HER!

Dr. Dorment is the absolute best. She cares for every student as if they were part of her own family.

There are a lot of readings, but that's every history course basically. There were no exams but 3 essays. I am not a big fan of history, so the lecture was boring for me. However, this class is doable since this class is not based on memorizing. I highly recommend this class with Dr. Dorment over other professors.

As someone who knows very little history, she had my attention the whole time. She rarely ever uses powerpoints so write down all the things she says. Her quizzes and tests are often open book / open notes. She's very considerate and not hard on attendance if you contact her. I was absent at least 3/4 times and still got an a.

Make sure to take notes and do not get behind on the quote project. Class is pretty interesting even if you do not like history because she is always ready to talk about any current events. If you did well in high school history/ understood it, then you will not have to study very much.

she is very knowledgeable and knows what she is talking about. she does NOT post her slides on ecampus. she only lets you handwrite notes, no computer. her lectures are very organized. a lot of the notes are verbal; she doesnt write a lot on slideshows. she mainly talks, so i suggest audio recording the lecture.

Her lectures are based on what she says. Her slideshows have 10-15 words on them MAX. You have to pay lots of attention to what she says because that is the majority of your notes. She has no midterm or final--just in in-class essay. You must be very familiar with the material to do well on tests. But she is so knowledgeable, I love her.

She is very lecture heavy but there are not many assignments for the class. There are a few handwritten essays but she is not a harsh grader at all and is very understanding/accommodating. Class participation is very important in her courses.

Her class was brilliant. The topics I took were on 3 women across history: Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Queen Victoria. She is an easy grader, if you do the work you pass. Put thought into how you perceive these women. HW: reading docs and a journal every Friday. The projects are 3 page essays that are unique and fun. I loved this class as fresh.

She is one of the best professors I had all semester. The textbook is mandatory and you will have to read the night before. But she is very sweet and I never felt her having favorites, you either participated and she knew you or you just stayed silent. If you miss class and its on a essay day make sure to let her know and she is very flexible.

This course was honestly pretty light. This course was based on Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Queen Victoria. She does talk a lot though, so just try to pretend you're listening. The workload was pretty light. Two journal entries a week, 3 essays, and one group project as the final (no midterm). There are no tests just essays and journals.
