She is a very tough teacher and that's not always a bad thing. However, her lectures are unclear, and convoluted. She talks at the class instead of to the class. It takes a lot of extra curricular activity to understand the cirriculum. She's just not a talented teacher. In one word, FRUSTRATING.

Her class is pretty hard. She expects you to not just memorization, but understanding. If you do all your studying, you should get a pretty good grade in her class. She does have this thing with favoritism, but just work hard and pay attention and you'll have no probs w/her.

This class sucked! She treats the class like middle schoolers, and the class is extremely dry, she has the class print out at least 100 pages of typed lecture notes which were available half way throught the semester because she is computer illiterate. She is a somewhat nice lady, but teaches like Hitler would

The worst professor at ARC. Wants you to learn a whole bunch of notes, read book, which is totally different, and even if you do, you still do bad on tests. Tests are multiple choice, but they are rediculously confusing. My reaction to 50% of the q's: What a f*** is she asking me??? Dropped after getting 45% on 1st test. And got a W-late 1st test!

This teachers teching style is crap.To pass this class you need 200 points and that consists of three really confusing tests and a paper that she has really high expectations on.No classwork so there's no way to help your grade if your failing.If you like to read like 7 chap. per test, take her, if you have ADD like me, don't take her you'll fail.

All she does is lecture, make sure you have you coffee. You cant really afford to miss any classes, and you have to read the book. My biggest issue is the class was the most boring I have ever had. Maybe I just don’t like History who knows but the whole class is lecture and that’s it, no interaction at all, if that is what you like this is for you.

Her class is terrible. I would not wish her on my worst enemy. Lectures are boring with no class participation. I would e-mail her and she still would not be helpful. Tests Q's have nothing to do with anything. Assigns a ridiculously hard paper. Tough on attendance. Please, don't make the mistake I made. Strict, but I still learned nothing.

She is a terrible teacher who just restates what her notes say and doesnt present any information that isnt in the notes expect for her biased opinions on history. Her opinion, which she offers as fact is that all men are evil, america is a terrible country, and all women are oppressed, especially in america.

doesn't make class intresting

firt of all dont ever take ancient history. it sucks. second, dont take this lady. boring. I leaned how to write backwards and perfected it. i'd rather shave my head than ever be in her class. just find another teacher. 3 really hard tests and a horrible paper at the end.

She is very knowledgeable in her field but has a hard time relating it to her students. If you work weekends or have children, don't take this class. You won't be able to devote the time needed to get a good grade. She lectures all day everyday. Honestly, this class was just not worth the trouble. She is better suited to teach history majors.

Took summer class. Please do not make the same mistake as me. She is terribly difficult to follow, and although I approached her a couple of times for assistance, she basically belittled me and gave no concrete solutions. Please steer clear, as this prof. is a land mine just waiting to explode.

Definitely knows her stuff, but has expectations that are a little high. If you take her ancient world civ class make sure you know every little detail, otherwise she'll stop class for 10 minutes to try and make students remember what she taught two weeks ago. She can also be very demeaning at times, so be ready for that also.

First day seemed like an okay teacher. Then quickly went to h*** in a hand basket. Ridicules people in front of the class, complains about students "not reading" after not actually assigning anything. Recommend that unless you can tolorate abuse and her being a (written by student in evaluation) "Man-hating fascist" you stay clear.

I've enjoyed every history class I've ever taken except this one. All she does is lecture, and she sounds like she's reading a textbook when she talks. Teacher is very biased. Class is extremely boring, and she likes to ridicule people in class. Tests are hard but take home and with the extra credit possible to get a B without buying the book.

She is horrid. "Open book" test but wait! YOU CAN'T USE YOUR TEXT BOOK, or the lectures from class, or ur notes from class. I agree with the post a couple below mine. She lectures non-stop and gets mad at students who dont have the 3,500 dates in history memorized by the first week. Good luck in this class. I just pushed my grad back by dropping it

DIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFICULT. great lady, but bad prof. too much of this and that and you must learn too many things that get you lost. most confusing class ever

This teacher requires you to be on time according to her time which is about 3 minutes early and she sometimes won't let you in if on time according to the wall clock. She gives take home tests that are impossible to pass and "extra credit" quizzes that are sooo hard to get any points on. She is so hard and mean and treats you like you're stupid.

She knows her stuff. If you have a question it seems like she does not want to answer it. She seems mad when you don't understand her and need her to repeat something. I would try to not take her for any classes.

Granted, she knows what she's teaching, but as a teacher she seems to be lacking somewhat. She was often quite rude to the students in my class, whether or not it was warranted.

Teacher is ridiculous. Id have to say she is probably the worst teacher i have had at AR. 2/3 test are take home and the average score in my class on both was a 53 and a 47. she expects you to know the material before she teaches it to you. ill just say class started with 43 it is now a class of 12.

AVOID! Look at how many reviews she has and then look at the rating. She jumps around to much, gives you not time to clearly understand what she said, and continues to ramble on. She is strict, but that's understandable. But, what I don't understand is how she knows MANY people don't pass and she doesn't look at herself as the cause. HAPPY I LEFT!

She knows her history very well, but has a horrible teaching style. if you enjoy only listening to her talk and boring powerpoints then take her. She puts no excitment or fun into her lessons. her teaching style is less than ideal. On top of all of this she is very rude and talks down to her classes constantly. I would recommend anyone else.

A super difficult class. She is too strict and rude. Everyone worked hard on their assignment and half of the class gets an F on it. 2 take home midterms, many people cannot get half of the answers right. It was multiple choices, one midterm 50 questions can have 12 pages long. All the answers are "nearly correct? and maybe inferred from the text.

she was terrible, unreasonable.hard. and rude. impossible never take this class.

1) I never review professors. 2) I never come on here to see what other people say. For this teacher, I wished I did. Strict, hard, and terrible hand-writting. Sat in the front and I not understand what she was writing. TEST Q's are confusing. OG is smart. I should have dropped but I aint no quitter. Topic was of interest but she made it boring.

This professor was very hard. Her exams were so hard, they were take home, and I still got D's on the exams. She likes to throw you off by using similar wordings in multiple choice. She wants you to learn at a "University" level, that's why she makes it so difficult, but it's a HISTORY CLASS-not an everyday subject most of us will use daily.

This is the HARDEST class I've ever taken even though this is a summer class. If your not willing to spend hours studying the material over and over again , the tests and the extra-credit quizzes will be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to pass or even get points on. She also will have you do a 5 page minimum essay during the middle of the semester. GOOD LUCK

Assigns no homework and the test do not reflect subject matter that was discussed in class.

She grades tough and when a student asks questions she talks down at them if you cough or yawn she snaps at you and treats you like you've done something heinous or god forbid you phone accidentally goes off she'll immediately kick you out of the class attendance matters and she only lectures on boring power points the whole time

As someone who genuinely enjoys history, this sucked the life out of me. Horrible book choice and super dry lecture notes. The material on the test isn't covered in the book or the notes. I had difficulties submitting an assignment once and just... 0 empathy. Prof doesn't care about students whatsoever.

Discussion boards are AWFUL. answering to the best of your ability will get you a mid grade. Doing all of your work to the best of your ability will get you a MID grade. This professor does give extra credit but by the end of the course you may be relying on it because you were graded so harshly. No advice to pass because grading is arbitrary.

Too much lecture and sometimes the questions on the quizzes and tests are very random. Very tough grader because she goes off on her very specific rubric that you have to follow to a tee. Can't submit late assignments and the discussions are frustratingly hard to get a full grade even if you tried your best. Wouldn't recommend if taking for credit
