Comment:

I took Professor Gluck's Intellectual History course thirty-five years ago and am glad to see that people are still saying it's one of the toughest and best courses they ever took. She helped inspire me to become a prof. It was the toughest course of undergrad and opened my 21-year old mind. I still have all the books and my handwritten notes!

Comment:

One of the worst professors in the history department. Reads her lectures in a dull, monotone voice. Gluck's lectures are no more enlightening than what you'd get from Wikipedia. Has nothing interesting or insightful to say. Third-rate mind. Also spiteful against any students who knows more than she does about the texts, which is not that hard.

The best. Brilliant lecturer, wonderful person - she hosted an end-of-semester party at her house that I still remember, 15 years down the line.

Comment:

Professor Gluck gave intelligent and insightful lectures - which were consistently well organized, if not a little static. Both the reading and the grading was difficult, but manageable with commitment.

Comment:

Professor Gluck is one of the best, most precise and insightful lecturers at Brown who is also blessed with a pleasant voice. I took European Intellectual History as a freshman and loved it--the courseload was heavy and difficult, but it really shaped the development of my mind for years to come.

Gluck gives the most amazing and trenchant lectures I have ever heard--be prepared to take pages of notes! Her course was very hard with difficult reading, but amazingly rewarding.

Among the worst profs in the history dept. She just reads her lecture notes, can't lead a discussion group and published almost nothing.

Possibly my favorite professor from Brown. Extremely well organized, articulate, insightful, really knows how to run a section, and very caring. Highly recommended.
