Comment:

Very knowledgable and her cynical wit in the subject makes her lectures engaging.Provided you don't have a heavy course-load,for goverment/history majors who have plans on entering a job-related field, this class is a must.You'll certainly learn alot in that one semester then the time it takes for acquiring all that experience out in the field.

Comment:

I had her for 3 of my classes.. My first impression was wow what an amazing professor.. She is extreamly knowledgable and has this comical cynicism about her that makes classes great.I learned so much in her class and really admire her. If your a government and politic major she is a MUST!

One of the best Professors at St. Johns. I never missed her classes, She expects as much as she gives from her students. Highly intelligent, she can make even the most mundane topic interesting

Very nice, so smart, and a wonderful teacher. Gives a second chance but never a third. Not as hard as everyone says, but you have to try. Highly recommended.

Comment:

I took this class as a freshman, and was very intimidated. She's a really great professor, though. She's willing to help write your briefs and her tests can be tricky unless you study. Current Events can kill you if you dont read up. Take her if your a govt major, shes worth it!

Great Professor, knows what she is talking about. Other ratings are correct, if you dont want to do work, dont take the class. If you actually want to get an education youd be hard pressed to find another professor with her intensity and dedication to her classes

Amazing professor, great class. If you want to learn, take her. If not, don't waste your time because it will be difficult for you to pull a decent grade.

She is a very demanding, but excellent teacher. She is well versed in her subject and expects her students to be prepared and willing to work hard. I am glad I took her course. She is one of the few challenging professors here. Attention to detail is key.

She is a very hard professor, she is not always fair to everyone, and she will ride you hard. Overall if you want a challenge take her you will learn, but if your looking for an easy A, do not under any circumstances take her class.
