Comment:

it took awhile to understand her ways. i pulled off an A+ but i no she is a very strict grader and expects a lot in her students.She has a genuine interest in history and its great to have a teacher with such passion. You really have to take a lot of notes but if you study hard and memorize the results are great her students should appreciate her

Take good notes and study them and ur definately doin well in this class!

Comment:

This is college not high school! Honestly, your an idiot if you can't get an A in this class. She knows her stuff and is available for questions all the time. You have to appreciate her knowledge, because even though she brags a lot, she has everything to back it up. If your not dumb, take her.

When I had this teacher I thought she was so boring and horrible, but then I began to just listen to her and to well on the tests which are always written. I think she comes across more of a hard ass than she really is.

Knows what shes talkin about, recommend a tape recorder and study your notes and read the text book. Know main facts and important vocabulary. She notices when you are putting your all and will work with you to pass the class.

She is very sweet but expects quality work. If you pay attention and put forth your share of the effort you can do well. Prof. Retif is a good professor, take her.

Comment:

She knows her stuff! The only thing I did not take lightly was her attitude towards her students. She needs a reality check. Retif is a good teacher but she has to stop telling everyone what an intellectual she is compared to the rest of the world.

Comment:

i have never had a worse professor in my entire life. she needs to learn how to talk to people that are not history majors and make this required course for everyone. she should be teaching an upper level history course. she knows her stuff

Horrible, boring, doesn't know how to teach. All she does talk fast and writes horrible notes on the board and doesn't make things easy. She doesn't review, or make her notes legiable. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
