Reviews of professor Kristina Markman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
if you literally type EVERYTHING she says in lecture, you will do very good on her pop quizzes. had to read a lot, ofc in hum there is never enough time to read all of the books. id recommend her, but one time she sent a very massive aggressive email to us week 1 and it left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the quarter. "tough love".

Markman's class herself is pretty good, she's a lively professor and has good lectures. HUM obviously is mostly TA based and from my experience, without an absolutely perfect paper, expect a B or B+ in this class. Her final was extremely easily graded, but lecture-based, so going to lecture is important unless you want to cram for the final.

I took professor Markman's class this past fall. I enjoyed it! There is a lot of writing throughout the semester. She provides a great historical method layout to make the writing easier. The exams are hard. She test's for understanding, not if we can find the information in the text. I hope I can take a history class with her again!

Tests are difficult so you have to read/watch EVERY SINGLE ASSIGNMENT. Test questions are pulled from the review questions, textbook, primary sources, and videos. She gives great feedback on writing assignments and plenty of time to complete them, even if you've passed the due date. If you want that A, you're gonna have to work hard for it.

Not the best teacher. Lots of research assignments that require critical thinking and are very difficult.
