Comment:
I had a family death that caused me to miss a week of school. She definitely seemed to lack empathy and also seemed upset that I chose family over her First Ladies seminar.

Comment:
This woman is cute, smart, witty, funny, engaging, brilliant and altogether wonderful. I could not ask for a better professor. She is so friendly and helpful and she loves her subject and students. She isn't too hard of a grader but you had better take your work seriously and make sure you do all of the readings if you want to do well. I love her!

The best professor here! She is extremely helpful and is genuinely interested in our student based conversations. She wants you to be interested in the materials too and tries to make things fun for the class, even if you are only slightly interested in First Ladies take this class! Fair amount of reading but not over bearing.

Comment:
She is a wonderful instructor, however for a 300-level course she is assigning far too much work (two six page papers, a fifteen page paper that is not even a final paper, on top of a final exam? Come on, I'm already comping for christ's sake). Do not take her class without being prepared to work your fingers into nubs.

She is amazing. It's true that she has high expectations but that's a really good preparation for grad school. She will pull the best work possible out of you and you will learn a ton in the process; possibly the best lecturer on campus.

Comment:
Professor Treckel is by far one of the best lecturers on campus. Her class was so interesting. She was always incredibly organized, and reading/assignments were not too overwhelming. Test questions were extremely easy and open ended. Warning: don't take her if you are looking for an easy A (or even easy B).

I LOVE PROFESSOR TRECKEL! This is far and away my favorite class I have ever taken. She assigns a reasonable workload, expects good discussion and class and facilitates them, and is super helpful as an adviser. She is a tough but fair grader on papers and really improved my writing and understanding with her comments. TAKE HER CLASSES!!!

i loved treckel until my senior year when she screwed up all of my grad school applications. none of the rec letters she was supposed to write got there. I had to ask her fax the letters there after every deadline. She was my academic and comp advisor, but because of the grad school problems i lost all respect for her!

Very tough class considering it was an FS. She is the most interesting lecturer I have had here, but she really likes to challenge her students. She is always willing to help, but usually rips papers apart. Great adviser as well.

Was SO excited to take this class but Treckel kind of put a dent in that. Very good storyteller, descriptive, interesting, but insane when it comes to grading. You'll work your ass off for a B-. Learned a whole lot from the class, but that wasn't reflected in my grade. Expectations are ridiculous.

Comment:
Dr. T taught me more about how to interpret and understand history from the point of view of the writer than any other professor in the history dept. She constantly challenged me to really determine the bias of the writer. Every student at AC should submit to one of her classes. It will be one of the most interesting yet challenging classes.

She's a tough cookie. She grades pretty hard, but you learn so much from her. She is so intelligent and just so darn cute that you can't help but just thrive on her sheer energy and knowledge. She really loves what she does, and what she studies, and she will make your class really interesting and fun.

She's tough, and she made me rise to her standards and I'm grateful for it. I never worked so hard for a B as I did for her, and I never learned so much about how to really understand history as I did from her. Because of her I see how history affects modern times. Highly recommended!!

Not to say ive prided myself as a paper ****er, but I admit to doing it all the same. She saw through it when no other prof has in the past three years. She cared enough to let me know in a friendly way that it wasnt going to be possible to do that with her. Shes just a solid prof.
