Comment:

My experience with her course goes back a ways, but it did scar me. She is smart, but intolerant and disorganized, with a weakness for immature, snarky humor. Readings were either impenetrable, repetitious, or never referenced in discussion, class, or evaluations. I love Brown, but she epitomized Brown at its worst: illiberal in her liberalism.

Comment:

She's alright. Not all that bad but not all that good either. But she manages to attract the most awful TA's in the history department so until she gets rid of them-stay away.

Although Dean was sarcastic and patronizing in class, she was incredibly approachable and helpful outside of it. I learned a lot from her and she has a great sense of humor.

Comment:

She gave only the vaguest instruction on how to do research/papers.She had her own idea of what history was, and was not at all tolerant of people who had a different approach or political views.She avoided giving any help over email or in office hours.

Comment:

She was an amazing lecturer - very clear, funny and engaging. But, so much work over the course of the semester - it was really hard to keep up. And when the final rolled around, there was soo much to study and she gave little guidance of how to prepare.
