Very interesting lectures. She meets with each person in the class individually to discuss essay exams. A lot of reading...we had to read and discuss 5 books.

Not very helpful, and at times can be rude. A lot of reading regardless of it being a 400 level class.

Wonderful class! Love the content, love the lectures, and although there is a good bit of reading---it is interesting and well worth it! Such a nice woman. Always willing to help. Her grading isn't too bad, just wants to see you improve on the final!

By far my favorite teacher this semester. She is so passionate about US history! Most definitely a tough teacher as far as grading, but she will meet you at anytime to go over your rough draft beforehand. I love her class and would recommend it to anyone!!!

Comment:
Like everyone else said she is clearly as populist, socialist, or in my opinion communist as you can get. I'm a die hard conservative and cant say I wasn't offended in her class, but you'd be hard pressed to find someone who won't around liberal universities. Tough class, read alot, write alot, but despite her flaws a smart adn very helpful lady.

She is tough, but I learned so much about the social history of the U.S. Between the World Wars. If you make an honest effort she will help you. Believe me!

Comment:
She's nuts. I had her one day as a guest lecturer for my Civil Rights class. She started teaching about the course, which is fine and good, but then she went on a rant about how evil and **** conservatives are. She had some kind of Tourette's where she'd just start bashing Republicans randomly. Even if I was liberal I'd be ashamed of her.

Any class with Nan will be challenging, but she will be willing to help you if you are willing to put forth the effort. A great teacher if you allow yourself to be taught.

Comment:
Never, ever admit to being a Republican in her class. Don't try to defend Reagan in her presence either. She's an old-guard socialist, so if you don't like that, beware. Otherwise, nothing wrong.

Comment:
Her class is VERY tough as far as workload. Lots of novels to read and 3 10-page papers. Ridiculous! The TA saved my life but don't take her class unless there's no alternative.
