She's great! She wants you to do well in her classes, and is willing to work with you/help you achieve a good grade, as long as you put in the work.

Dr. Chastain is an amazing professor. She is passionate about her field of study. I loved her weekly overviews. She is incredibly caring and responsive. There is a lot of reading, but it is split up between chapters out of the book and other sources. Her feedback is helpful and she genuinely cares about her students' well-being. A+++

The professor goes above and beyond for her students. They are very understanding as well when it comes to student absences, as they understand people have lives outside of class.

Tests consist of an essay and a memorization of 10 vocabulary words out of 50 that are randomly chosen by her w/ a paragraph response for each. She runs off topic with her lectures, barely stays on any slides with little explanation, and assigns lots of writing assignments. No sympathy for other class work load. I FOUGHT for an A-

I took her Latin History class last term. The lectures are very good and clear. The work load is very reasonable and she is always happy to help. Great professor overall.

She was an incredible professor and is honestly one of the best I've had to date. She is committed to helping you succeed and is willing to work with you assuming you're willing to put in an equal amount of commitment. Definitely take her class!

Professor Chastain is exceptional! HIST 105 is a writing and reading intensive course so there's no escaping that no matter what professor you take. However, she is very clear w/ her expectations and assigns pretty easy readings. She also provides great feedback on the papers. Extra credit opportunities available as well. Take her!!

The difficulty in my experience is mostly just from the requirements of the course: it's a reading- and writing-heavy class by nature. But Professor Chastain was nonetheless helpful and clear in each assignment and subject. Her notes on papers were always helpful, and the way she has the course set up is really efficient I think.

The professor was passionate about her field. She spent a lot of time preparing for each week. There were 3 papers. Bi-weekly discussions. There were no test. Overall, if you enjoy Latin American History you'll enjoy reading the three books.
