Reviews of professor Dasa Mortensen

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unexpectedly, Modern China (HIS 386) ended up being my favorite class. She is a tough grader. If you're hoping for an A but writing isn't your strong suit, look elsewhere. Amazing lectures, she is clearly a genius and an expert in her field. Very helpful during office hours!

Class HIS286:
Professor Mortensen is an incredibly understanding and caring professor who pushes her students to do their best. She's a tough grader but gives very helpful feedback and even will find sources for you on her own time when writing a paper. Would 100% recommend her especially if you need a refresher on how to write history papers.

I really love the course. There are a lot of reading, but reasonable for a history class. Definitely not an easy grader, but she gives helpful feedback and really wants her students to learn more from the course. Take her class if you are interested in history. Don't take the class just for a graduation requirement.

Dr. Mortensen is very knowledgable and enthusiastic about her subject matter and teaches with great patience. Very good lectures that keep everyone engaged and learning. She is also super friendly and accessible as a person. She does grade papers with high standards and gives super in-depth and detailed feedback because she really cares.
