Of all my years this is the worst teacher ive ever had. 15 question quizzes on over 100 pages of a book. If you did not read the assignments she counts you absent, regardless of you being there with materials. Basically she tells you what you read and determines whether you should be counted present or not. Should not be tolerated. STAY AWAY

Worst teacher ive ever come by. Literally terrible. Makes a 100 level class feel like a 500 level. Stay away im begging you

Didn't bring readings to class? You're counted as absent. Overall bad teacher. Do not take this class.

Whether you are reading this wondering WHY you took her class, or curious if you should. Well ask yourself. Are you happy right now? Would you like a teacher who sits at her desk and rambles. Because its torture. Don't take this class. Don't feed into her. She will be the biggest regret of your semester. It is just NOT worth it. Or your sanity.

Personally, a terrible experience. Even when you worked your hardest,she will still find fault in you. Its actually disappointing and I can't wait for it to be over. Also, The only "Good" rating on this MUST be from either her or some family member of hers. I know no one who would write something positive like that. Least no one in my class.

I didn't expect an easy A but at the same time I never expected to have to fight for a lower grade just to get by. There aren't enough hours in a day to complete her assignments. Also It's next to impossible to take good notes due to the fact that she'll talk the entire time nonstop with nothing on the powerpoints.

I was so excited to take this class but it was the worse mistake in my life. Don't listen to that "good review" because it's all lies. I've never taken such an awful history class. She's so unclear as to what she wants, her readings are horrific, her lectures are painful, her pp are confusing, her voice is monotone and uninterested. Never again.

Hey lessons are pointless. Only reason to show up to class is so she doesn't take off points. She doesn't give you any idea what the tests are. Assigns an insane amount of reading and expects you to print dozens of pages for each class. Do not take this class.

Save yourself. She is by far the worst educational instructor I have ever had. She has no passion in her lectures, homework is tedious and strenuous, and does not seem to have the interest in helping her students. DO NOT TAKE HER. I am sure this class is interesting but do so with another teacher, please. I'm begging you.

I swear she has no life and must think that we don't either. She gives endless, dead march lectures and she seems annoyed all the time. She really has a lot to learn about teaching and I hope she does because this class was a 15-week torture session.

Possibly the worst professor I've ever had. She gives so assigns so much reading and has no consideration that her class is not your only class. I've never been so overwhelmed with the amount of work she assigns. Do not take this class, unless you want to ruin your semester.

Please, do not take this teacher. She gives 90 pages of reading to do in one night, and then tests you on your comprehension of one paragraph of it. She is very disrespectful to our time. The "study guide" was a list of everything we learned in the semester.

This was the hardest History class I have ever taken. You read 25-30 primary sources for one class and you really only need to read one for the informal writing. The tests are super hard. The final had half the class studying for days. If you do the work you can get a good grade. However, it comes at the price of your sanity.

This is seriously the hardest class I have ever taken. I took this class in my final semester at ODU and now I have to drop it and graduate in the summer because her class is so extensive that it is preventing me from doing the work for all four of my other classes. I expected a 300 level course to be treated as such, not a graduate level.

If you plan on taking any other classes, you will have to decide if you want to fail her class, or get terrible grades in all your other classes. You regularly have 2-3 hours of reading per class, and the content is graded very harshly. It is a huge amount of material forced into a short time with hard to understand readings and little explanation.

If u love reading 20 pages a night, you'll enjoy her.

i absolutely hated her, be prepared to fail. i spent so much time on this class to fail. i could not even use the bathroom without her deducting points. she gives out writing prompts everyday to complete within 2 min. testes are extremely hard and her powerpoints are completely useless. if that doesn't sound awful good luck. (LeaveBeforeIt'sToLate)

She claims to teach History but her classes are closer to English Literature than History.

Im a history major and thought this class was damn near impossible. The only reason I got a b in the class was because of the final exams. Her powerpoints are blank and she doesnt let you leave to use the restroom. She also makes you get incredibly specific on certain writing assignments.

This class is ridiculously hard to be a 100 level class. If you want to focus on this class and other classes its not possible. She is very inconsiderate of her students time, considering she gives very lengthy homework reading assignments.

Do you hate group projects? Do you hate arts and crafts projects? Then this is definitely not the class for you. There are multiple group projects and the biggest doozie of them all is an architecture project where you have to have a scale replica of a Roman monument. This project has no place anywhere but art or art history, it should be a paper.

Thank goodness for grade forgiveness!

this professor sparked a relapse in my severe depression.

this class sucks! im literally writing this in her class, and i want to go home so bad. she is a horrible teacher, and is really mean with grading. too much homework, i dont sleep at night. she makes me cry from all the work. i was a history major, but i changed it because of her. if you take this class, drop it!!!!!!!! i can not stress that enough

this class is the absolute worst. this is the one class that i should have dropped when i had the chance. she is a nice person but as a professor i would not recommend her at ALL! this class literally gets me overwhelmed whenever i think of it and im close to dropping out. my depression has surfaced severely ever since ive started this class.

When I signed up for this class I truly didn't think I was going to be on the verge of passing or failing her class. I was in AP/honor courses all throughout my high school career and have never experienced a teacher like her. She grades EXTREMELY hard. Her directions are also very vague along with no room for error. You either get a 100 or a 0.

I usually check this site before registering, I didn't and regretted it. I've had my fair share of bad professors but she is the worst I have experienced so far. If there is even the slightest thing wrong about a paper, she'll take off about half the total points. 2 minute bathroom break, looks like you're writing a paper. DO NOT TAKE HER

The teacher is the worst. She gives feedback that doesn't make any sense, and she is a very hard grader. If she doesn't like you, you will get a bad grade. Level of difficulty is very high for no reason. HIST 102 is an intro to history, so it should not be that hard.

What A Disappointment of a Professor ... Shes an online teacher who takes her job way too seriously for an intro course for undergraduates. She does have clear over the top grading criteria for students to follow heavily. Shell be happy to put zeros in the grade book and fail your assignments if they dont meet her standards.

This is a university requirement - not an upper level class. I have had tough professors before- but she takes the cake!! She claims to have taken it easy because of the pandemic with the work load. I can only imagine what it would be like for a normal class. Discussion posts are like doing 400 word min. Analyses are 5-600 word min. WOW! ��

Ridiculous class. I needed a history class to get my degree, and she structured this intro class like I want to be a historian. She is a ridiculous grader, she seems to think that her class is the only one I have. She has it where if you don't get 40/40 points on assignments, then you get a 0/40. Don't take this class unless history is your life.

Her specs for the different types of assignments are absolutely ridiculous especially for a Gen ED class, none of my other Gen ED professors had the demanding specs that she has. She thinks everybody wants to be a historian, and that only her class is the one the matters.

I'd much rather get ran over by a bus then have to continue taking this class.

The specs and grading criteria are extreme. Gives zeros for incorrect formatting of assignments! Way over-the-top. Felt more like an English, than History class.

Professor Nutzman turned history into English. Be prepared to revise your paper every other day for it to be passable. While she lets you take the exam multiple times, be prepared to dedicate your whole day to this one introduction to history course.

One of the worse professors I have ever had. Grades everything pass or fail with no room for improvement. If you're sick don't even attempt to reach out to her, she will not care and will tell you to get an extended absence. Discussion board answers must be 100 words, and there is an analysis of 500-600 words due every week. Do NOT recommend her.

This professor is extremely hard to pass. She grades pass/fail with no room for improvement. You have one chance to revise your paper, if you still don’t meet her specs she will give you a 0. One good thing about her is her feedback. She is extremely thorough with her feedback. But that’s not enough.

This professor is extremely difficult to pass. You must meet ALL of the specs or you will receive a 0 for your work. You must pass a primary and a secondary source analysis in order to pass her class. She will give you a 0 if you miss 1 of her specs. Sometimes with no chance to revise.

This is genuinely the worst teacher I have ever dealt with. Do not even bother taking this class unless your intention is to fail. She has a million different specifications for every assignment and if not met immediate zero

Within the time before I withdrew from this class, Doctor Nutzman was very strict with her grading policies. Once the group leader of our group forgot to check a single box and gave all of our group 0's with no way to make it up. The homework is long and difficult, and while she is in general a nice person here everything else made class miserable.

She is terrible. Trust me She will do everything for you to fail.

The insane amount of specifications she has with her assignments is ridiculous. A simple error you could have created drops your grade to an automatic 0 with absolutely no way of making it up. Please do not take this professor, avoid at all costs, even if it means going in person one day a week.

Please do not take her class. Her grading specs are very specific and somewhat hard to understand, she has very strict rules such as no bathroom, no phone on desk, computers can only be used in first 2 rows, and no sick days. If you miss a class even with a doctor's note, you have to do very specific make-up assignments that she grades pass/fail.

The professor has an unusual Grading system with unreasonable grading expectations that a such as granting a 0 if you fail the meet one minor expectation or make an honest mistake in revisions. Although you get as many revisions as you want, be prepared to potentially fail if your partner does a specs mistake in the epic midterm/final.

Dr. Nutzman was so bad I had to withdraw. She doesn't allow you to use the library, Google (reliable sources), previous courses on Greek history, or get help from a professor. She has rigorous grading and rules like no using the bathroom, no phone on the desk, no sick days (even with doctor's note) or you have to do make-up assignments.

Horrible professor. Told me to attend office hours and spent 30 minutes degrading me and blatantly telling me I should've plagiarized her words rather than use my own. I had to rewrite one paper 4 times. Each time she seemed to change her grading criteria and became more vague. 90% of the class dropped before our final. She's impossible to please.

10% deduction in grade if she sees your phone. She is a professor at the Ohio State University now, so I couldn't click a class she is currently teaching, but I am in her CLAS 2220H. She is EXTREMELY critical of everything you say in class and everything you write. It is a GE, but it being treated beyond my 5 credit hour classes work.
