If you've got a brain in your body she is an ace teacher. She doesn't suffer fools gladly and who can fault her for that? So she's opinionated about Israel and feminists - this is college, folks, you can be articulate too.

She is the best prof in the world, she freaking rocks, I dont know why all these "guys" hate her, Im a guy and aced her class 3 times, in 3 diff courses, and know of many guys that have also, perhaps these people were dumb jocks, of course they

she doesn't hate men as much as everyone likes to pretend. it's just easier to claim that they fail because of gender rather than lack of work...

I'm a boy... Professor Charnow was my adviser... was never anything but nice to me... her classes were great... readings were great

makes subject matter interesting by tying it to current events....but be prepared to write

Expect to read, write and analyze a good deal. If you are lazy or too stupid to appreciate historical scholarship, dont take her classes. Discussions are lively and very informative. She doesnt lecture, but you still learn a lot through participation and hearing your peers. Can you handle it?

This prof. is amazing. I love her to death, because she is a great prof, enthusiastic about what she teaches, and is always there to help you out. Yes people did bad...but the people that did were usually lazy and deserved it, take her, she's really an amazing prof.

She is so mean! she doesn't value anyones opinion except her own. she gives students dirty looks when they talk and is just in love with herself. very tough teacher. 6 short response papers, 2 long papers, and hard mid and final. you also have to do a ton of reading and puts everyone on the spot to see who read. i dont recommend her. D-

Just show up, do the reading, participate; you'll do fine. Listen to the woman before you judge her.

I am guy and she was really nice to me and everyone in the class. She is a great teacher and one that knows her stuff. Her class was VERY interesting and even now I use what I learned in her class. She prepared me and helped me to succeed at Northeastern and Harvard. TAKE HER classes! You won't regret it.

She was excellent. She opened the lessons up for discussion and encouraged our writing, instead of putting the students down. My class was only once a week so it was a lot of reading, but it was always interesting and made for good class discussions.

Prof. Charnow was genuinely interested in teaching us the material. If you want to be in this class, you HAVE to read. This is the only way you will understand and enjoy the class. Make sure to get on her good side. If you participate frequently, she will like you. The reading is heavy, but you will definately learn a lot.

Prof Charnow is an excellent professor. If you like history, you'll love any class she teaches. She demands articulate and scholarly writing. If hate to read and write thoughtfully about history, you're going to hate her. If you have even a slight bit of intellectual capiblity or interest you'll love her.

She is very intelligent, thought provoking and cares about subject matter. She grades fairly but normally teaches honors college and most kids think she is very hard. Must particpate and attend class and read novels to pass/learn. No textbook history through literature. Few assignments 3-4 5 page papers. All tests essay based. discussion based clas

Easy teacher and helpful if you take the time to do the work

very simple class. nice teacher although try and not to skip her class because she does take attendance. work is simple enough if you read and the class is usually interesting.

Wonderful teacher. Can't wait to have her again. She does give work but if she sees you making an effort she will cut you some slack

So glad to have her again this semester. If you are a fan of history and don't mind reading, what can be at times long, then she is perfect. She's great because she has the students sit in a circle and we always have interesting conversations. This teacher is perfect for all us history nerds. If you hate history, this isn't your teacher

I am not sure of the class information so I just put 12. I have her for a night class and I must say she really knows her material. She appears to be nice and she already warned us that we read alot. She seems to be great for history buffs like me.

I took this with her when I was a freshman. I'm not a history major in my junior year. I must say she was one of the best in my freshman year. She made Western Civ interesting and didn't make it a class that I dreaded. The only con is that there is going to be a ton of reading so try and get it on Tues/Thrusdays.

I do not like history courses. I am a science and math nerd so to say. I've read people complaining that she gives too much work and what not. All she gives is reading. It is not that bad even. It's not even bad if you take her on a Tues/Thrusday cause she gives you ample amounts of time for the reading. I highly advise you take her.

She is a great history professor! If you enjoy history course, she's the right one to get.

I loved my women's studies class, but I am glad that Prof. Rosenthal was also there. Prof. Charnow seems hard edge, but once you chat with her a little bit and get to know her, she's really not bad at all. Plus! she has friends in the city and she got me interested in Jennifer Miller and I got to see a performance in the city. I loved this class!

She likes people to have their own thoughts...don't be rude but if you make a thoughtful arguments she appreciates it because it means you're thinking about assignments. I am convinced I got an A because I disagreed with her while everyone else just nodded their heads and agreed with everything she said. Tough but fair and perfectly nice.

Professor Charnow is a great professor. She will really work with you and help you with your writing as long as you show her that you are putting in effort and that you are interested in the material. I found Professor Charnow to be remarkably fair and kind to all her students, regardless of sex or political preference. She rocks!!!

The class was not what I thought it was going to be at all. The most we did about the present was have current event articles, the class itself was mainly about imperialism. She also had a unique way of teaching - by reading novels and primary sources. Still as long as you showed up and paid attention and participated, it wasn't too difficult.

Arguably one of the best professors I had freshman year. Caring and understanding about situations as long as you show her that you're trying in the class. A lot of readings, can manage if you don't read, very relaxed classroom setting.

Prof Charnow LOVES to give papers. She is a tough grader. I won't say she gives F's like popcorn. She does have the tendency to lecture frequent but not ALL the time. If you hate to read thick packets and books, then she is not for you. As a person, she is absolutely amazing. I had her for two semesters for my 1st year, person: great; teacher: poor

Professor Charnow is by far the best professor I have ever taken. Yes, you have to work for the grade, but this is college. Grow up, and do the reading. She is so kind and caring. She has changed her schedule to help students who cannot make her office hours. Truly an amazing scholar and mentor.

Professor Charnow is a real gem of a teacher, her historical knowledge is absolutely amazing. Lots of reading, but she assigns books and articles that are insanely interesting. My one wish is we could have spent more time focusing on our final paper. Overall amazing class, very inspiring.
