Comment:

Ms Taylor was a horrible prof. If she didn't like you she would mark you down on everything. History used to be my favorite subject until this class. I would study and get all of the multiple choice right, but as soon as we had an essay she would mark me down and not say why and so I would confront her & she would say "It wasn't a big deal."

Comment:

Her lectures are very interesting and in them she always went over what was on the quiz/test so take notes and/or highlight in book what she talked about to study. When she says make sure you know this, it will be on quiz/test. She uses visual aids which helps break up class. I got a B+ in class and this was the first class I took in 26 years.

She lectures all hour. Her tests/pop quizzes can be hard. She's very picky about essay questions. I wasn't a fan of her class as I was EXTREMELY bored every class.

Comment:

She held my interest very well. She does run a strict, tight class, and does not allow any b.s. I was glad for this because it helped me to stay focused. She does lecture, but I don't think she droned on at all. All the info was useful. If you show up, pay attention, and study from her study sheet, you will do well.

Comment:

She's a great professor! At first I thought she was going to be an old bitty lady but she's actually very intelligent and just doesnt deal with BS. She tells you everything you need to know for exams. I learned so much about the Holocaust and am very glad I took the course although it was very sad/depressing. Only negative, no snacks allowed

Comment:

An odd character and not much of a people person, but dedicated to education. Uses a variety of methods that make the 3-hour lectures more bearable. Also required class participation as part of the grade. I think she graded fair and gave us a chance to do extra credit. Biggest complaint was no snacks -- she never did say why.

Comment:

AWFUL! Her lectures are drone on and on but she also marks you down for not attending her classes. I had jury duty and had told her previously about it and she marked me down for not being in class and then she didn't want to let me make up a test that I had missed because of jury duty. I felt a lot of her lectures were very biased as well.

Comment:

Gets very stressed and starts yelling throughout the whole class at anything that gets on her nerves and. Always tells you "Its in your textbook" as an excuse not to answer a question and she is very stingy on grading test. Also no snacks allowed for the 3 hour class which helps make it the longest class ever.

Comment:

Ms. Taylor is a very fair teacher. If you take decent notes during the lectures (write down everything she puts on the over head projector) you will do well in the class. She also hands out a study guide prior to the tests. Tests consist of multiple choice and essay. An easy "A" as long as you pay attention in class.

I never had a problem but she treats everyone like they are kids and yells and makes dumb remarks about cell phones and if anyone talks. This class was the longest 3 hours of my week I am so glad its over!

Comment:

Taylor was awesome. I admit you have to get over her boring lectures, but all the information you will ever need is IN her lectures. I never had to open my book because i took notes in class. Good study guides before tests. The class seems like it goes on forever, but if you attend class you will do well. I have her next semester as well.

Extremely boring professor. I wanted to bang my head off of a wall just so I wouldn't have to listen to her drone on any longer. All lecture. Sometimes gets the facts wrong or is very biased. Just very very boring.

Listen to her in class and you will do well. taking good notes is a must because what she says in class is on the test. over all I think she is a great professor. I have had her for both 154 and 155 I got a 3.5 and a 4.0 without really having to open the book.

Good teacher. Straight lecture class, minimal book use. Test are over lecture materials and reading assignments which make preparing for the test very easy. Would highly recommend.
