Comment:

She doesn't properly explain assignments. Tells us to do one thing then gives out bad marks. Hardly allows participation because her seminars are just one Sided discussions with herself. Assignments not posted on time yet expecting them to be done. She only discussed her opinion on the books rather than the historical context. Not helpful.

Comment:

Avoid at all costs!!! She assigns a disgusting amount of reading and assignments. One of the books we used was barely an academic source. She hogs the discussion in seminars and when students do manage to get a word in, she either doesn't listen or interrupts them. In short, she is not interested in teaching; she just likes hearing her own voice.

Comment:

The lectures were clear, but the assignments and expectations were not. I found the course interesting even though it was an awful lot of work compared to other courses.
