Comment:
Not sure what Prof the other reviews are describing. She HATES men; clearly favors women. Likes students who have taken her before. Despite Univ policy on absence, she still holds >3 against you both in class and on a personal level. Once she writes you off, might as well drop the class. She is not worth your time. Oh, And she can never be wrong.

Very nice and always willing to help you if you don't understand the material. Tests are easy if you show up and take notes. Get into ger class if you can.

Comment:
Had for history of spain. I love history and current events, but did not enjoy this class one bit. She was off topic for almost half the class talking about current events or asking controvercial questions or bringing up controvercial topics. Some of the things she said were offensive! Do not take her if you are conservative or religious.

Comment:
At first I hated her, she is very intense and off the wall with her comments. I grew to appreciate and respect her because she shows you many different views on topics you thought you had mastered... Can keep a Senior's attention during an 8am class... no always easy to do! DONT BUY THE BOOK, just go to class youll be fine

Comment:
Don't buy the book, you won't use it. GO TO CLASS! She hates students that waste her time. She is a big feminist and somewhat black or white in her views. She knows what she's talking about, though. If you have a hard time understanding a German accent, I don't recommend this class. Tests are simple, and right from the notes.

GET INTO THIS CLASS. She will keep your attention, and if you do any studying you will do well. All tests are out of the notes, only assignments are the 4 tests and she lets you choose the format (do MC). She knows what she is talking about, she's been everywhere in europe so it's her world. FEMINIST, but its nothing to worry about, she's awesome.

She is nice as a woman, she is not a very good teacher. The class was off-topic most of the time and when it came down to the papers although she is a very fair grader the paper was expected to be perfect and the questions were left pretty open ended but you were not able to go off topic at all. If you like getting graded off papers she is for you

Comment:
Boes is crazy and kooky is a word that suits her but she is a great history teacher. Kept me awake for an 8am and I got an A. Her tests aren't cummulative, and they are only 20 questions right from the notes. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, but you better be at every class and take perfect notes because she pulls random facts for the tests. Wonderful prof

I hated every minute of her class and could write an essay on why she is a ridiculous person. At the same time i respect that she is a fair with grading.

Do NOT buy the book, 90% of us didn't open it once and she can't even tell you what chapters she's teaching. her tests are simple questions with tricky answers, partly because she's hard to understand when she teaches due to her accent. you must come to class and she holds it against you if you don't. overall she's pretty easy.

Dr. Boes is a decent history professor, and can be a lot of fun in class. Gets defensive occasionally when challenged, but teaches an unconventional style of history that is very thought provoking. A fair grader and always willing to listen.

She was a very good professor.. She would tell funny stories and they helped me remember things on the test. There wasn't too much reading involved, but if you want a good grade, you'll do the reading. Show up to class, she takes attendance, after the third absence she lowers the grade. Always have a current event. Challenges beliefs, but very smar

Comment:
Dr. Boes is a good professor; her upper division classes are a bit harder than her survey courses. The class itself was interesting and she was "entertaining" as always. I would recommend her to anyone that can buy into her teaching style. There were only two essay tests and one paper.

Comment:
Boes is an entertaining and challenging woman. I dont know how she teaches the intro classes, but its a discussion type more than lecture. she likes to argue but that doesnt mean she puts anyone down because they dont agree with her. only if they are wrong/stupid/rude. definitely recommend.

Comment:
Very good professor. People complain that they came to college to be challenged and that she is too easy. An intro class shouldn't be overly challenging... It is a general education class. I Had her for Outcasts of Europe. Go to class, take good notes, and study for the exams.
