Comment:

Her tests are very lazy, not written by her at all. She speaks the whole class and it is very boring. Her paper guide lines are ridiculous!!! Don't take her!!! I wasn't even supposed to have her, she took the other teachers spot and I got screwed with her way of teaching.

Dr. Jestice is a great teacher and a brilliant woman throughougly steeped in the history she teaches. She speaks the ancient languages she teaches about and is in general awesome, but utterly unforgiving in the best way.

Comment:

I took her class last semester, and though the material was interesting, it was difficult to absorb because it wasn't exactly chronological. She is really easy to talk to and has a very interesting collection of historical stuff. I went to her office one time to see her weapons. Really cool. A LOT of reading though.

Comment:

This class was terrible I did not want to take it in the first place and to have her as a teacher was even worse. Her TA is terrible also they grade very hard and all you have is midterm and a final 2 papers which are graded hard and 10 pop quizzes that are ridiculously detailed! Do not take unless you enjoy history. And she is very weird

Dr. Jestice is a funny gal. She loves good conversation and is one of the most passionate professors in the department. She is glad to help her students, but you must show effort. Be thoughtful on your assignments and you will do well.

She's absolutely awesome. She is very to-the-point and outspoken. She's a fair grader but not a hardass. If you go talk to her and/or email her, she'll be glad to help you out or just have a conversation (if you go when she has time). Great professor!

Comment:

Knows damn near everything there is to know about the medieval period. She won't give you an A unless you deserve it, but do the readings and go to class and you should be able to pull it off.
