Comment:

Her class was by far my favourite of the year. The way she lectures is so engaging and easy to follow without being incredibly overwhelming. She also hates textbooks so you don't have to drop any money on them, she'll post occasional readings online for you. Her seminars are also very interesting and she encourages everyone to speak openly.

Comment:

Professor Meek is THE BEST prof I've ever had in all the year of my undergrad. I've never wanted to go to a Monday morning class off Main campus more in my life. Her amazing teaching style during her lectures combined with the open discussion seminars and clear grading/feedback made this the best class I've taken. She makes the content come alive

Comment:

This Professor is fantastic. She is on point in her lectures and her style ,while different ,is engaging and dynamic. She is specific in what she wants in her essays but she gives very clear guidance on what she expects in them. She is very accessible for any questions on material or assignments. If you have to take Am Hist for credit, take her.

She loves what she does, and gets so excited to teach you everything she knows about the topic. She hates textbook costs too, so don't worry about any weekly readings, besides the occasional seminar.

Prof Meek is great. Classes are always interesting and she is always there to help her students. Tough marker at times but I am just an average student here so believe me, put in the time and effort and you will be rewarded with appropriate marks. I took a class with her in 2nd year got a 60 then 3rd year new class, put effort and got a 75.

Prof. Meek is the most amazing professor I've ever had! She gives you study guides for her exams and offers help all the time in order for her students to get a good mark! I took her History of Conspiracy Theories class and it was the best class I've ever taken! I highly recommend taking one of her classes because she is the best!

meek is an amazing prof. she is a fair marker, and provides a study guide for her exams. she does not post online notes, so you must attend class and take good notes to do well. I will try to take classes with her in the future. Favorite prof so far at UWO.

Professor Meek is an amazing prof! She makes class very interesting and fun to be in. When I had to miss a class due to sickness, I would have a feeling of regret because I know I missed an awesome class. She is so helpful with exam prep and tells you exactly what she expects. As such, I did so well in her class! Take her class FOR SURE!!

I have had Meek 3 times. She is the best lecturer I have ever had and she is more than fair with her marking. Best American History Prof at UWO hands down. Clearly states what is expected from papers and tests through specific outlines. You will enjoy the classes and learn alot.
