She is one of the best UTSA teachers I've had

Took during summer. Too much info to memorize. Very specific on tests. Nice teacher though.

I also took this class this summer, and got an "A". It is a lot of info, but if you study the slides and take notes, there is no reason to not do well in this class.

Teaches well, but her tests are very difficult and confusing.

Dr. Roff makes you think. She's awsome. Hard, but awsome.

she a grea teacher, her lectures can be boring at times, but you have to pay attention a study hard, i agree her test are really hard. Do not let his woman stand on any chairs, for her own saftey haha

She's great. My only concern with her is that I had the 8:00 AM class and she would show up at 8:10 sometimes. Real helpful. She makes an effort to make sure you understand the material. She appears to love what she teaches. I would highly recommend her.

A teacher that genuinely cares about well her students are doing in her class. Her tests come straight from her in-class notes (from her powerpoints), and from the study guide and images she puts on reserve. It can be kind of boring, but why skip class if going will assure you an "A" or "B"?

Don't take her at 8am unless you're a morning person. besides the early class though, she's a good professor, definitely knows what she's talking about and quite passionate. Don't really need to go to class if you have good study habits. Just read the book and you'll be fine :)

She loves to teach and expects you to know the test, great lady

She was a great professor who made the class interesting. I look forward to taking history II and I am very glad it's not in the morning. I don't think i could do that again...haha.

She makes her class extremely interesting, fun, and her tests are great and easy

Roff is hard but good. Got an A......not even an ARC major. You have to study but she's really good.

Shes a alright teach, and im passing the class so shes pertty cool and not boring just dont take the morning class!

She's a little scatterbrained - this is my focus and I've corrected her a couple times in class. She definitely doesn't believe in giving A's - she's far too tough.

as long as you attend class and study the notes on webct ull get an A. the lectures are sorta interesting (although she is a bit "scatter-brained) and she is very helpful. plus i learned a ton about architecture!! so if youre prepared to go to lecture and devote at least a few hours of studying prior to taking the exam, take this prof.

she's really cool

Hot for a Prof...give her her props guys....

True, she does have some problems with the computer at the beginning of class, but she is a very nice and understanding person. I got an A in both classes. Just take good notes and don't complain about it. This is a university, not highschool. Take your education into your own hands.

not an easy class, but you do learn a ton. her tests require you to know all of lectures and notes posted on webct. some lectures are super interesting, others are a complete snooze. i would definitely take this class again. just be sure to go to class and review the weeks lecture for an hour or so during the weekend.

The Prof covers lots of material and expects you to know it-it is imperative that you attend class (little reading is really required). She produces a "study guide" that covers almost everything that will be tested. Know the guide, attend the classes, learn the monuments and pay attention to what she repeats-especially at the beginning of class.

Good professor. The tests are hard because the qustions look like this: Is the answer (A) A and C. (B) D and A. (C)all of the above. (D) none of the above. You really have to know your stuff. The hardest thing is remembering what structures derive from past buildings. She's very helpful!

Her tests are a little challenging, but i don't understand why people think she is overly hard. I was going through personal problems at the time that i took this class. Hard for me to stay focused, but i still pulled a B. She is a little eccentric, which makes her endearing and funny.

This class is the most interesting class that I have taken yet. Yes the tests are a bit challenging but the class is really great, she gets really excited about the things that she teaches. I really enjoyed taking her class and having her as a proffesor.

She is a good professor and nice and all that, but she tells you about the lifestyles of people back then and things like that so I took notes on that (along with architectural stuff) and there was nothing but architectural stuff on the exams. I figured this out after the first exam though. I felt there was a lot of material to study for each exams

I made an 87 on my first exam and hardly studied; however I did attend every class/took excellent notes. While the tests are a little hard, if you take good notes and make an effort to study a little (about an hour a week) then you will do great! Some days could be boring, but I usually really looked forward to listening to her lecture.

She's a great teacher and she's very nice. She does go through a lot in class so be sure to take notes. Class is generally fun and she never puts you on the spot. If you talk to her after class she'll help you. If you study the online handouts you will be sure to make an A/B, she's very direct. She is definately one of the greatest teachers at UTSA

OMG! I love this teacher, she is by far the absolute best professor at UTSA. This class is awesome, I wish she taught more architecture classes because we need more teachers like her

If you're struggling in her class, she will take the time to help guide you in the right direction for studying. It's not an easy class, but if you actually go to class and take really good notes, and study for it, you'll do well.

There is a reason why the UTSA College of Architecture picks her to speak to foreign countries about our school here in San Antonio. She is a fantastic teacher and explains everything in ease and excitement. Do NOT miss class if you are expecting an A. The lectures are easy to follow along ONLY if you are attending class

She's very passionate about what she teaches. She gives interesting stories about each slide. TAKE NOTES!!! Her tests are extremely difficult. She asks random questions about each structure and gives a very general review.

She is absolutely Bloody Awesome! Her class was the first class i took as a freshman, and 4 years later (i'm a senior now) i still think she's the best professor i've ever had. She is so cool i wish we could hang out and party together

i love professor roff.she made it worth it to wake up and drive downtown at 8 in the morning.shes funny and keeps the class interesting

If we had more professors like her at UTSA then we'd be the new Harvard instantly, and UT and A&M would be kissing our ***'s, She's honest, to the point, and you can actually understand the class (something that doesn't happen too often in the school or arch). What i love about her the most is that she is so incredibly wonderful as a person

Grat Proffesor she is helpful, interesting, tests are easy if you study. Take this class and you will love to come to class to hear her speak. Towards the end of this semester you will get tired of writing notes who doesn't. But great professor take if your a arch student or not, its like watching the hitory channel is person!!!!! she is awesome!

I found her class extremely easy as an engineer major. Not sure how you don't get a B in her class, she makes it pretty easy. Attendance is mandatory, all test questions come from lectures, i didnt read more than 2 pages in the textbook. Test has 3 parts. Building identification, multiply choice, and true/false.

I took Roff for both History I and II. Her class was so enjoyable, and she is so passionate about arch. hist. The tests are not difficult if you attend class and review the lectures and slide IDS. One of the best professors I have ever taken!

I didn't have Prof Roff for long, but I definitely enjoyed her while I did! The other Professor before her (no name) was NOT good. I wish Roof was there the entire semester. But I'm taking her for the summer and I am definitely looking forward to it! Great and sweet lady! :) I recommend her to everyone!

She definitely has a passion for architectural history. Really nice person besides being an excellent professor.

Super amazing prof!!!!!

This course was honestly pretty easy and I knew absolutely nothing about architecture before taking it. Not really a tough grader, pretty lenient when it comes to grading. Assignments were fairly easy and simple. As long as you watch the lectures and take notes you should pass.

This class was very easy. There is one graded assignment a week along with some reading and videos. The assignments are very easy. My only complaint would be the tests, they were pretty hard and not similar to the assignments. This professor was very interactive and communicated with us the whole time an was willing to help when needed.

Roff is one of my favorite professors. Every week she uploads 2-4 video lectures and readings from the textbook (cost about $100) that keep your interest and align with a reading check that is taken for a grade. The tests are easy as long as you do the readings and are not proctored.

Professor Roff has amazing insights into architecture and has really made me appreciate all the architectural elements around me. Most of the class is video lectures; Prof Roff's voice is so soothing it put me to sleep a couple times, but the information is there and it's interesting. Tests are really specific, so take notes on EVERYTHING they say.

She's a very good professor, her teaching is quite slow, but she does get to the point of her lectures. Her assignments are easy but beware of her exams they come off quite confusing. It was a lot of 17 T/F questions and 17 multiple choice questions. She' always offering to help when it comes to studying. She very considerate of students.

Dr. Roff's fascinating course is a regimented self-study through many areas of research. Weekly short answers guide you through the textbook. Set the lectures to 2x speed and take detailed notes, and label the flashcards. The exams may not be proctored, but you will NEED a conceptual understanding of the topics in order to do well.

Great lectures! The course is hefty on memorization and learning quickly. The grading is very clear and Dr. Roff is very accessible if you have any questions. I definitely would take this course again.

She only makes you read 10 pages of the textbook per week as well as watch 1.5 hours worth of videos per week. The exams and readings checks are fairly easy as long as you pay attention to the content.

she is very passionate about what she teaches which I can appreciate. She really wants to see her students succeed and she does a good job by trying to provide as many resources as possible. Reading knowledge check every week but aren't hard at all. The main kicker is the exams, which are still a little difficult that are worth most ur grade.

great class! lots of reading and lectures, but the lectures are pretty entertaining and concise. exams are very grade heavy, but you literally just have to take notes and you'll be fine. grading policy is fair and professor will reach out to help if you miss something. super respectful and gives plenty of insight on what to study for the next exam.

She is very clear in what she wants. She does talk a lot, but I found her class interesting.
