Comment:
If you don't come from a reading heavy or history background her class can be really tough, since you could be assigned 100+ pages per class. Her lectures were clear and even when they went off track were still relevant and interesting to the course. I thought she was a great lecturer, but be prepared to work hard for a good grade.

Comment:
Not an easy class or Professor. She requires 8 books but you only need 2 of the novels. She talks fast and everything you're tested on is based on notes (I usually got 5-7 pages/class). Because she talks so much and gets off topic, the amount of things you need to study for exams is insane. She'll do everything in her power to not give you an A.

Comment:
Her class isn't an 'easy A'. She gets off topic/ out of order occasionally and goes too fast for notes. At first the class was interesting but as the semester went on, I regretted not dropping this class (so much reading!). She grades insanely hard but she has good feedback that is helpful in rewriting papers or finding sources.

Comment:
I had her for my thesis class. I wasn't hugely interested in the Holocaust but once I found my topic, I became really fascinated. As I worked on my thesis and argument, I feel like she wanted me to go one way when I wanted to follow it another way. She didn't seem overly open to new points of view or thinking outside of the norm.

Comment:
I took this class since the Holocaust is one of my main interests. The class should have been easy for me. However, she goes way too fast for anyone taking notes by hand to write anything down and doesn't like to see anything through anyone else's eyes. She has no formal grading system and is of little to no help on the one paper assignment we get.

Comment:
avoid her if possible. she seems cool at first but as the semester drags on you'll regret taking her class. her lectures are very unorganized as she goes back and forth through time periods you lose track of which your supposed to be learning and what is just "setting the scene".

she's a nice prof that knows her stuff. her teaching style really let's you learn the material. don't come in expecting to not take the class seriously, but she'll always help you if you need it. tough but fair grader. those that think she's bad just don't read and complain.
