An amazing teacher and her dog quinny is cool as hell. You'll have to study but it isnt bs. Im taking her again hopefully:) She can sing in russian too and a couple other languages as well I believe.

She's blind so she teaches directly from the book, very good prof

She can be a little impatient with idiots, but she knows so much about history and is a really interesting person to talk to. Students can learn a lot from her in and outside of class.

Dr. Ament is a great professor. She is very helpful and is a very kind person. Even though she is blind, she is an extremely talented person. She often sings to the class and plays her guitar. I would certainly reccomend her classes.

Dr. Ament is an awesome teacher who is extremely helpful when you need her. I would defintely recommend her to anyone.

AMAZING

Dr. Ament is a great professor. She does give out a good number of material to learn from, but its for a good cause. You will learn a lot in her class. Plus, outside of the classroom, she is very friendly and helpful. Her lower level classes are hard, but her upper level ones are fun.

Her lectures are very informative and she tells you everything you need for the tests. She gives curves on the tests as well, so my lowest test grade has still been an A.

she is an amazing teacher - i have never enjoyed a history class like i have enjoyed this one - this is not a pie class but if you put forth the effort you really will get a lot out of her class - i would certainly recommend her to anyone - she also gives lots of extra credit opportunity to help out

I found Dr.Ament's class hard because I had it at 8am and she does just lecture, no visuals. However, she is a very nice lady, and I have a lot of respect for her b/c she is blind and I'm sure she puts up with a lot because of that. My advice:take notes, read, and try to take it later than 8am!

Shes very helpful if you ask, would definitely reccommend her class not @ 8am, she does not present visuals and does lecture almost the entire period. The class is not impossible, just be prepared to work extra and definitely ask her if you need help.

Dr. Ament is blind which is why she cannot give visual aide. Too many students are used to their educatin being handed to them and being based on technology, not real learning. Yes it's hard, but only if you don't try. She has implemented the web into her lectures if the students help navigate.

Dr. Ament is only "hard" for the students who don't want to put forth any effort (If you don't want to work don't be in college!). She is a wonderful professor who is willing to help you. If you come to class, take notes, and read the chapters you'll get an A - I know this from personal experience.

A great professor. Though it is cheesy of myspace to rate a persons "hotness."

I made a D in this class the semester before and wanted to re take it for a better grade...She was incredible, yeah there are no visual aides but if you take notes and study.... you are golden... I came out of her class with an A

I admire her very much for overcoming her handicap as she has. It was a gen ed class, it was a little boring at times, but if you fell asleep, she didn't know it! Her tests were easy and she always emailed us the lecture outlines. I'd recommend her to anyone.

She is a sweetheart.

Being a history major, I struggled at first in her lower level classes because she basically just lectured in a monotone voice. However, if you get the chance to take one of her upper level courses, especially if it's about Russia, do so. You will learn much about the country's history.

she is blind, but many students got over that quickly. there's no reason to fail this class. she email weekly outlines of her notes. he study guides cover everything thats on the test. the quizzes are counted as extra credit. the only downside about the class was that it was i took it at 8am.

What a wonderful professor! Only paper is optional, tests are taken directly from weekly outlines and test study guides she sends by e-mail. All quizzes are extra credit to the tests and there are 2-3 five question quizzes per test. So long as you show up to class and study the outline for the test, you can make an easy A.

she's so easy- she gives extra credit quizzes, tests are multiple choice, and the only assigned paper is optional. i'm sorry but you just can't lose in this class unless you are rude to her and come on the woman is blind so be respectful! not to mention sometimes she sings and plays guitar which is just plain cool.

She is incredibly sweet, but because she is blind there are not a lot of visuals. I have traditionally been a visual learner so this class was harder for me. She has an attendance policy, but it's not too bad. I took her at 8am and a lot of people fell asleep. She offers extra credit quizzes about once a week to add points on your exams.

I love her she is one of my favorite teachers. I have learned so much from her. Her tests are both hard and medium just depends on the test. I admire her because she is blind and still travels all over has dr in a few things and teaches most amazing person ever. She also has the most amazing singing voice. i love it when she sings.kind person.

I have had Dr. Adment for two classes, one was an intro the other a 300 level. She is a very smart lady and knows history. When my father passed away during spring semester she went out of her way to help me not only with class work but with other things I was dealing with at the time. You must read and study to get a good grade, but I recommend he

Very kind teacher-really cool. She does speak very very fast during lectures-I had trouble keeping up but most of the stuff is in the book. READ THE BOOK! A lot of info in there is on the exams. Exams are terribly hard, but she does make you learn a lot.

Learned a great deal in this class. I had to read assigned books and take notes on what I read. A lot of reading. If you want to skate through do not take this class. If you want to have knowledge about subject matter when you are done, take her. She accents lecture with guitar playing and a beautiful singing voice.Passionate about Russian history.

looking around all the negative comments, its mostly from the 101 level individuals taking her for gen ed. I will admit she probably is harder for gen ed students. History majors like me will find her interesting. she has a great knowledge on the material and lets you use a note card for her exams. the class goes surprisingly faster than you think

Okay, so we all know Radford is full of students looking for an easy A, so I have to disappoint you: this is not where you will find one. However, Professor Ament is a great example of why a smart guy/gal can still get a good education at Radford. A competent professor who loves her subject, willing to help the individual when asked.

very nice and willing to help. although, she only has a couple of exams that cover way too many chapters. she does give outlines for every chapter that are very helpful though. this class isn't impossible, but it's definitely not an easy a.

Don't let the other reviews discourage you from taking her. You have to do your work, read, and pay attention. That's really not too much to ask. She is the sweetest professor I've had at Radford and is willing to help anyone!I watched so many people fail in that class, just because they were lazy. If you're serious about school this class is easy.

She is blind, but her class is simple. She lectures, hands out things from time to time, and then tests on her notes. She is very friendly and helpful if you ask. The students in my class were completely rude to her and I felt bad, they didn't participate or answer her questions, they slept and played on phones, and then blame her for bad grades.

She is a kind person, who grades hard. But if you go to her during office hours, she will tell you exactly what you need to study for and exactly what you need to fix so you can improve. The books in the class are interesting but can be intimidating. Show up, take notes, ask questions. Do what you're supposed to do as a student and you'll be fine.

Dr. Ament is a great teacher despite being blind. The quizzes are ALL extra credit & she's more than willing to help her students. I have an A in her Hist 102 class & I've never had to look at the book before. Whenever I have a question about something in her lecture, I either stop her mid-lecture or talk to her about it after class. She's great.

Personally I find the lectures extremely interesting. Dr. Ament is visually impaired, but I don't think it affects her teaching ability. It is quiz heavy and if you don't take notes/study, you're screwed. My advice if you're new to lecture based learning, is to work on your note taking, or record them. Speak up in her class if you have questions :)

Dr. Ament is a very kind professor and she likes to joke around. She's very passionate in what she teaches. It's slightly difficult because she doesn't do notes, you have to write yourself what you feel is important, but as long as you read your book it's an easy class to pass. Even then, I hardly read and got just below an A in her class.
