Comment:

The only thing more confusing than her lectures, is how @janeedwards is still a professor at Loyola. It all went downhill when she stated that she was a sadist, I should've seen the red flags. From her random screaming during lectures to her tangents on how she was an aerospace engineer, I've never wanted to jump off of Sell. Business Hall more.

Comment:

Although Professor Edwards is a funny person, I could not deal with her as a professor. She grades so hard, and barely has any things to grade. If you do bad on the midterms, theres not much of a way to bring your grade up. Whatever you do, DO NOT take this class.

She is absolutely insane but she is a great teacher. She has no problems moving tests around and she is very understanding. As long as you take notes and actually pay attention you'll be fine. She is a self proclaimed sadist and I loved her.

Comment:

She lectures every class so there's no need to buy the textbook if you take notes. For quizzes she gives you a list of 35 terms to study & writes 5 random ones on the board: you define a term, give its date, & write its historical significance. She calls herself a sadist & gives very few grades but you can write as many extra credits as you want.

Comment:

Never read the textbook, got an A+; she only assigns textbook readings as homework (so no HW) Extra Credit: write as many 2-page reflections as you want on anything you learn about history outside class, such as Maryland's Renaissance Festival Final paper: 4-6 pages on Communist Manifesto, use Headrick's "Tools of Empire" to prove Marx's Thesis

Comment:

Jane has crazy lectures that go all over the place, and is a self proclaimed sadist for sure. But if you participate in the lectures when she asks the class questions she will like you and grade you easier! You are only graded on three things, but she gives the option of 5 extra credit papers, so do them! Jane is very smart and willing to help.

Avoid at all costs. You are graded on 3 parts to a midterm, a paper and a final. Her lectures are all over the place. She does give out review sheets but she will not have talked about any of the terms in class. She assumes you know a lot of info coming into an intro class. Have to study A LOT for exams. Very unclear about requirements. Do not take

So Jane is a walking textbook and self-proclaimed sadist. Every class is a lecture that she makes up on the spot. There is a syllabus however everything she teaches is two months behind. Everything gets put on you last minute. You will end up taking your midterm at the end of the semester. Gives extra credit but is a tough grader so good luck!

Comment:

Dr. Edwards is very funny and knowledgeable, but that's all I can say that's positive. Her lectures are crazy to keep up with, and it's impossible to stay "on schedule" because there isn't one. We didn't get a syllabus. Just an email. The course leans on a huge amount of independent reading, and it's just not worth it. Solid 2/10.

Comment:

nice lady but VERY opinionated, lost my midterm and was going to make me retake it which I found pretty irresponsible on her part and did not even apologize after she found it, you WILL need to read, had a midterm, final, and an 18 page paper-the paper was super annoying but she gives you all semester, gives review sheets which are EXACTLY the exam

Comment:

Jane is the smartest professor I have ever had but they don't call her Crazy Jane for nothing. Her class is vague and relies heavily on the notes she provides in class. A midterm, final and paper are all the graded assignments. If you take her go to her office hours and orient your paper and tests to align with her liberal point of view.

Comment:

Jane is brilliant, her lectures are interesting and give you a new whole new outlook on history. She is friendly and helpful, very reachable even outside of office hours. Taking her class made me want to learn more, even though I'm far from a history major. That being said, if you are not prepared to sit down and study for hours for an exam omit.

Amazing lectures. A little all over the place but if you type your notes its easy to stay organized. Very helpful in office hours. Not many grades but lots of extra credit.

Comment:

Prof Edwards made me crack me up every class. With boring material, she puts on a theatrical performance. I still laugh about it semesters later. She is very, very knowledgeable. You have to work extremely hard to get an A, but I received B+'s and A-'s on every exam and got an A because i was always in class and focused.

Jane Edwards is the most brilliant person I have ever met. She's like a walking text book and remembers nearly all of the dates. HOWEVER her class is impossible. She is never clear with assignments at all or how the tests will be set up and would tell one class one thing and then forget to tell mine. Worked SO hard only to get B's all semester
