She is an amazing historian and there is no reason why you would want to skip her class. Even the lectures she says are "the most boring" are incredible and she is the best at what she does.

Joan is the best history teacher I have ever had! She will use multiple examples to help you understand the time period. She will relate revolutionary subjects together and she really engage students in her lectures. I definitely recommend taking her class.

Dr. Clinefelter is awesome, I had her for western civilization 1600-present or whatever and i loved it. She was understanding when I asked for extensions, and her few assignments she gives are kinda interesting.

Comment:

Dr. C is very passionate about history, which makes the class really interesting. She has a great personality and is funny. Attendance isn't mandatory, but the class is definitely easier if you show up and she notices when people haven't shown up. Grading isn't too harsh and is based off of midterm, final, and about 4 papers.

Comment:

Ignore the passive voice. Joan Clinefelter makes you look forward to coming to class. Her lectures leave you wanting more and will genuinely strike your interest. I wish all the rest of my professors were as interesting as her. Also, I don't think any other professor cares more about their area of expertise than she does and it is very apparent.

Hands down, the best professor at UNC. I am not alone in this opinion either - everyone I know has said nothing, but phenomenal praise, and rightly so. She will help you in any way she can and truly loves her content area and can make it so approachable and interesting! Learned more in her class, than I have in all my other UNC classes combined!

Dr. Clinefelter makes Western Civ. fun. She doesn't assign much homework, and what she does assign she makes sure is very clear and easy to understand. Same with her tests.

Either you love her or you hate her. She is the type of teacher that is incredibly strict in citations, writing styles, and historical thinking. Her passion is unrivaled, though. She loves her topic, she loves talking about it, is very honest and straight forward, and never minds clarifying as requested. Phenomenal teacher and deserving of praise.

By far my favorite teacher for my freshman year. Very enthusiastic and clear about what she teachers. She cares about her students and helping them do well. Hard exams, but well worth taking her class.

Easily one of the best teachers at UNC. Period. I have had several classes with her now and she is simply a great teacher. be careful of the dreaded citation assignment though. She is a stickler for proper citing style.

She is the chair of the History department but don't let that scare you away. She is very clear on what she wants and is very helpful if you want to talk to her in her office.

I didn't even have her as a professor, but stumbled upon her when I asked if she had seen my lost keys. She called the campus police, every professor in the History department, the library, the English department and no dice. The effort was so greatly appreciated as every other professor I came across just blew me off. Wonderful person.

She is engaging and extremely knowledgeable. I have never had a class outside of my major that I was so excited to attend. She makes everything easy to understand. She is not only approachable, but it feels like she actually wants to help you. It was refreshing.
