Reviews of professor Katya Motyl

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Motyl did a nice job teaching a Euro History seminar this semester, with no written homeworks, quizzes or tests, just a leader of discussion for one day, a research proposal and a final paper for the class. That being said READ READ READ! You will get lost if you don't and participation is key for this class. Overall good prof.

Motyl prepares you for writing the history capstone by giving you an extra semester to research. She provides very good feedback on the benchmark assignments and is a fair grader--not too hard, not too easy. She provides readings in the syllabus, but they do not pertain to your research. If you take her course, start the research proposal early.

She is one of the best professors I have ever had at Temple. There are only four papers for the entire course which is the majority of your grade. She is very flexible and helpful to every student. There are multiple readings a week and journaling but its all very managible. Her content is both timely and educational.

Favorite professor at Temple. Dr. Motyl makes it super easy to get a good grade -- if you show up to class having skimmed the readings she assigns it's a breeze. Super interesting material. There are 3 short essays (2-3 pages) and then the final paper which is actually enjoyable to write. Take her if you can!

Difficult class compared to other history classes of its type, but not an issue grade-wise. Professor Motyl is clear about the grading guidelines and is highly available for feedback and discussion. Reading the material is extremely important as the entire class was discussion based, but with a decent effort and interest, the class is an easy A.

Professor Moytl is amazing !She is an exceptional teacher. She is very knowledgable about what she teaches and really makes you want to learn. All the assignments are very fair she tells you exactly what you need to know during lecture. Her lectures are amazing. I honestly learned so much from her. I wish every teacher was as passionate as her.
