An absolute *itc*. She gives female professors a bad name and reputation. Save yourself stress and take another course.

Comment:

She expects you to participate in discussions every class, one comment isn't enough. She's nice and actually wants you to do well but can be really intimidating. The midterm and finals are pretty straight forward though and the material is interesting. Too much reading though. She teaches well and goes through most of it. Never emails back though.

Comment:

A complete hypocrite. Holds your work to standards that even she doesn't live up to. Her expectations are unclear, but rather than admitting that, she takes it out on you. Does not answer emails. Is difficult to find for office hours. Is cold and heartless. If possible, avoid classes with her.

Comment:

Wants you to do your best--can be somewhat intense but very helpful and supportive. Taking Historical Research isn't exactly fun but I learned a lot, and we didn't have class pretty frequently in the middle of the semester so we could do our own research/writing instead.

Comment:

Way too much reading, papers not returned in a timely fashion, not the most respectful towards grad students. Be prepared to work hard and still not get the grade you deserve.

Professor Najar is amazing. If you want to work hard and learn a lot you should definitely take a class with her. If you do the work and participate you will be rewarded with a great experience. History of Sexuality and the Family is an awesome class!

Comment:

Stay away from this professor. While she is friendly and helpful at times, she can be a real pain in the butt. She gives many unnecessary reading assignments and will put you to sleep in class. Did I mention a lot of really boring reading assignments?

Comment:

This class was difficult, I'll admit. However, she made herself available for extra help all the time and helped me pull my grade up a full letter grade. You MUST do all assigned reading to survive, and check Blackboard constantly.

i took najar for sexuality and the family and learned a lot... i will agree that some readings were boring but helpful in learning the material. she is dedicated to her students and a wonderful resource to take advantage of if needed in future classes.
