Dr. Genvert is a great professor. She isnt a tough grader and she tries to help as much as she can. She also offers extra credit on the tests.

Comment:

I am not good at history at all. Had her first semester of my freshman year and it was tough at first but all you need to do is make flashcards for the terms located on the terms list. Does extra credit and has a lot of papers correlating with the NABB center. Go to class because that is what is going to be on the exam.

Comment:

Her class was demanding. Like, she wont make you suffer, but its a lot. You learn a lot though. She is very organized but her grading is hard. Getting an A in her class is like getting into Harvard; its not impossible, but its demanding. A B is easy in her class, but an A is nearly impossible unless you get practically a 90 on each exam

Very good Professor, one of my favorites. Helps you understand material, very nice and caring. Would definitely recommend her as a History teacher. Final is not cumulative. 4 papers but they are very easy.

Comment:

Mrs. Genvert is the nicest person! There are 3 papers and one quiz (you don't use other sources besides the text she provides so there are no citations). She's always available to help, and the exams are not bad... As long as you are specific for the five IDs/essay you'll be fine! Also, you never use the book. Only for 5 point of extra credit.

Whole entire class is copying down her powerpoint lectures, which the test come directly from. Test are somewhat intense, usually 50 multiple choice, 4 short answer and 1 essay, if you don't skip a class and study HARD you will be okay. Offers extra credit in form of discussion board for every test, make use of it. ATTENDANCE!

Comment:

She was a solid teacher. The grading is clear, two 2-3 page papers, two 4-6 page papers, and four quizzes. that's it. The final is one of the quizzes and is only on the last section of notes, not cumulative. Only downside is each class you'll do about 6 pages of notes, but the quizzes are based EXACTLY off the notes. The papers have cool topics!

Comment:

She knows her stuff but is not always the most interesting. As long as you take notes and know the study guide you should be all set for exams. The vocab is extensive, covering the smallest of words, but is all memorization. She is a nice woman, grades papers easily and is always willing to assist students in need.

Comment:

She will go through PowerPoints fast, so you should try and take notes quickly. She goes over A LOT in one class, so you really should make sure you don't miss class. You will have about 4 papers to do, but they aren't very hard. Answer the questions she asks, and you'll be fine.

Super easy A. Make sure you go to class though. All of her lectures are very clear and by powerpoint, however she does not publish them so you must go to take notes. She grades papers pretty tough, but if you read the book and follow the directions you will be fine. She provides study guides for all tests, and the final is NOT cumulative! Recommend

Good teacher. Offers easy extra credit on the tests, and very helpful. Be prepared to take LOTS of notes. There are four papers and four tests. The tests are fair and come straight from the lectures, nothing surprising. There's only a few pages in each book that you actually need, try to rent them or share with somebody else.

Comment:

Pretty typical as a professor. If you go see her or send her an email asking questions she'll offer help. She's pretty understanding about deadlines and real life too. Let a kid take the final on another day because he didn't realize what day it was, but don't expect that to happen often. Overall not bad, not really remarkable, but not bad.

Comment:

I hope you like power point if you take her class. This is literally all she does. And don't expect her to slow down at all, she just keeps moving through even when we don't understand the context. Tests are very hard and cover way to much content for one test. Overall I would never take her again as a professor.

Comment:

Really good teacher. She reads off the powerpoints and writes a couple notes on the board easy to follow along. You get 4 writing assignments, and 3 tests (pretty easy to pass if you do the optional study guide) and the final that isn't cumulative. Just do the work and you'll pass. She even bring your lowest test grade up to the next lowest.

Not what a teacher should be, goes through the powerpoints and that is it. So you better like powerpoints, and she doesn't slow down. It is rough.

Comment:

The lectures were boring, by the assignments were actually pretty interesting if you took them seriously. I hated writing papers prior to this class, and there were 5 3-5 page writing assignments, but I didn't really mind it overall. Bring a laptop to take notes, because your hand will fall off if you try to write it out. 5-8 pgs of notes per class

Rule 1: take down all the notes because the test questions come STRAIGHT from them. Rule 2: Put effort in the simple papers she assigns & you will do fine.

Interesting class, the book was ok. Her teaching style is different, she moves quickly on her powerpoints, but it is nice to access the terms on her webpage that she leaves available. I had better professors than her

text is not necessar for the material, better off passing the class using wikipedia. her lecture is horrible, she teaches like she is on speed and you will get lost easily. the favoritism is an obvisous. and the tests are not project from what you learn from class and the reading. SU needs a new book and new teacher for this class!

Comment:

Let me start by saying: SLOW Down! she move way too quickly through the material to stay on track. I had to teach myself everything in her class. If it wasn't for the attendance policy, I would have never gone to class. She had her favorites in class too, luckly I managed my way to that, but I feel bad for the others who tried hard in her class.
