Comment:
If you don't like history you won't like this class. Mathur is a wonderful professor who is very passionate about this subject, but she lectures without a powerpoint and tells everything in story form so while it is interesting unless you are good at taking notes it is hard to keep up. I loved this class, but I know a portion of the class failed

Overall, she was a great professor and very clear but she expected WAY too much from her students and for us to all be history majors. Her papers are assigned with only a week to do them and they were very time consuming. She is also a very tough grader. If you're a busy student I definitely do NOT recommend taking her class.

I loved her. She is super chill and eager to help her students. The class had two books and I had to read about four chapters a week. Few grades (five papers) and she's a tough grader. If you want a good score, reference the text often. Participation matters and you're allowed two unexcused absences. Very passionate. Made history seem interesting.

Dr. Mathur is a great professor to take if you are a history major. But, she expects a LOT out of the student. My longest take-home paper was 33 pages long. There's a lot of reading to do. You'll have to work really hard for an A. If you are a busy student, this isn't the class for you. If you're looking for a challenge, this is the class for you.

This professor will help you pass if you go to her office hours! Papers are long but lectures are enjoyable and she does a great job making sure you know what is expected so there are no surprises. I typically am not interested in history but I enjoy her lectures. One of my favorite professors!

If you enjoy an engaging professor who fosters fantastic class discussions about really important topics Nameeta is your lady. Don't let her name turn you off, while she is from India her English and understandability is perfect. I was at first frustrated by my first assignment I got back but Nameeta is pushing me to really THINK about things.

DON'T DO IT unless your really into history. It's like she expects us to be history majors. I'm usually an A & B student. She assigns us LONG one-two chapters to read everyday plus an extra book we must find time to read on our own and finish for the final. Full time student? Have a 30hr+ week job? don't take her.

Professor Mathur is honestly one of my favorite professors. The classes are graded off of 4 papers and a final essay on a book to read. Although the essays are lengthy it's about 1 per month and as long as you take good class notes and pay attention you'll be fine. I didn't open the book and I got an A, and also anything 90-100 is an A too.

There were 100 points assigned. Each paper was given one week before due. Dr. Mathur still was an excellent professor. Take good class notes, and she'll happily fill in any blanks if you ask. Great feedback if you give her an outline or rough draft. I don't recommend her to those looking for an easy class.

Although this class is challenging, her lectures are very interesting and keep you engaged. No textbook but 4 novels you will have to read and write papers on. Papers are fairly easy to accomplish and she isn't that tough of a grader. Would definitely suggest taking her for Modern Russia.

Good: Challenging and fulfilling. I learned alot. I loved the lectures because she seemed so knowledgeable. The bad: Not much to say. If you struggle with writing then beware as essays and papers make up much of your grade. May come off a bit arrogant from time to time.

Dr. Mathur has been one of my favorite professors I've had at SVSU. She definitely has a passion for history and is very knowledgeable when it comes to European history. She has also been able to keep lectures entertaining and interesting. Papers made up the entirety of our grades and she expects a ton out of them with LOTS of examples.

Great professor. Expects great work out of everyone. Lectures are difficult, but she is very knowledgeable in the course. I would definitely take again. Few points available throughout the semester. Four, 20 point papers throughout the semester and a 20 point final exam essay.

Nameeta was a great teacher and very clear.. but expected WAY too much from her students and expected us all to be history majors. I am now very knowledgable in the subject matter of her class because of all the work which is good but not worth the stress through out the semester. Made me feel stupid in office hours. would NOT take again.

She was very helpful and wanted you to do good, but she did assign long papers. She did not have a page limit, but expected a lot of examples. My longest paper was 11 pages, but the others were about six-and-a-half pages.

She is a tough grader but a very kind person. She is very knowledgeable and her lectures are very entertaining. Expect to spend less than $100 on books.

Amazing professor! Best class by far this semester. She expects a lot but is always willing to help. She even stayed well past her office hours to help those who needed it, and gave us more time on the papers if we asked. Lectures were interesting. Favorite professor I've had so far.

I was honestly thinking about dropping this class before it started because of all the reviews, but it was a super easy class. People complain because you work for your grade but it was so easy. There were 14 reading assignments with questions and that was it. I ended up getting a 296300 with ease. Some people just don't like to work for it.

Do not take her class. Very long papers about the reading that you do, assigned two or three chapters a week, chapters vary from 20-40 pages long. The take home essays are crazy long, my longest paper was 22 pages long. Do not take if possible
