Reviews of professor Abby Schreiber

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I loved all the site visits for this class! It was great to make use of Colonial Williamsburg and get outside of the class room. Over all an easy, fun, educational class I would highly recommend.

I loved Prof. Schreiber's class. She is very kind, caring, and accessible. Very much enjoyed the site visit/field trip component of her class, great to be learning about history where it actually happened. Lot of reading, discussion-heavy. Show up and participate! Only three manageable papers the entire semester.

Dr. Schreiber is one of the most intelligent and personable professors I have taken a class with. Her knowledge of early America is unparalleled and she always finds a way to make her class enjoyable, from the readings she assigns to the jokes she makes. If you take an interest in the readings and the course, you should excel in her class.

Easy professor to take for 4 credits. This course was a heavy field trip based course so all of the work was done online on discussion boards. No final, just a 1500 word essay.

Professor Schreiber changed the assignments multiple times while being unclear as to her grading criteria. She demonstrated a lack of understanding to her own subject matter as I cross-referenced some of her notes with other professors at the College and Jamestown's Historical Society. Overall, this has been one of the worst history classes at W&M.

It seemed like she knew nothing about the subject. All of her information came from the readings, but the most recent reading was from 2005. The class was entirely discussion based, but she never led the discussions. And she picks favorites and will shut you down if you aren't one of them. And she didn't correct people when they said wrong info.
