Her lectures are given with little presentation so you must follow carefully and make sure to read the textbook. She gives you review guides to prepare you and is understanding of your situations. Engagement in class in encouraged but not necessary.

Her lectures are great! I would highly recommend her if you like history. Her midterm and final are long with essays, but she gives you study guides. If you prepare, you'll be fine!

This course was completely independent study with no set due dates. There is LOTS of reading and writing. Over 25 writing assignments. While Dr. Franzen is absolutely helpful if you have questions or problems, there is no real guidance in this class. No supplemental materials provided, no discussion boards, just writing.

Great instructor! She's Intelligent and personable. Don't miss her class though. It's important to show up. Midterm and finals are all essay questions, but you get a study guide before hand.

Comment:
Dr. Franzen is an acceptionally kind woman, however, her teaching style can become monotanous (she's English and her classes are very much in the English style of learning; she lectures and prefers no questions until the end) and during Spring semesters she will miss many classes due to an inability to traverse the mountains.

I had her for Western Civ I and II, and I learned a lot! Her lectures made sense, and I retained the information, plus her accent helped keep me more focused on what she said. The classes are easy if you do the work and take good notes, and she's very helpful.
