Reviews of professor Lindsay Privette

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Privette opened my mind up to so many aspects of the Civil War that I had never considered before. She is an excellent storyteller which shows in her lectures. There is a good amount of work but it is doable and she works hard to space it out. She loves to discuss with students and is available outside of class. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Privette is one of the best professors I have ever had! Her lectures are amazing; they will suck you in even if you don't consider yourself to be a history person. There are three papers to write but you are given plenty of time (at least 3 weeks) and while she is a tough grader, she is fair. Take a class with her if you get the chance!

Dr. Privette explained history very well and in a very engaging manner. For tests, she expects students to know the events and how they connect with each other, not so much the exact dates. There is a significant amount of reading and small online assignments. Overall good class and good professor.

Dr. Privette is a really nice lady and her lectures are interesting. However, she grades everything so tough. If you don't give her exactly what she wants then it's marked wrong.

Love this lady. Great professor, just a hard paper grader. BUT, gives great feedback to help you improve your writing skills!

Very sweet lady, but she requires you to watch lectures outside of class that total to 2 hours every week. Tests are open note, which is nice, but it is very annoying that I have to practically teach myself, for she does not lecture in class. She also relies on the class to answer questions in class, so that isn't fun if you are shy.

I absolutely loved being in Dr. Privette's class. She gave the most interesting lectures I have ever been exposed to and made history truly like a story. While there is reading and several papers, expectations are made clear and the work is not unreasonable. I am definitely looking forward to taking the second half of her class next semester!

Dr. Privette is by far one of the best professors I have had. She has a way of making the material as interesting as possible. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her, do it!

Dr. Privette is an passionate professor who engages all students. I have taken a gen-ed & an upper-level class w/ her. She helps students grow in their studies & gives great feedback on papers & assignments. There are consistent assigned readings throughout the courses but, she makes an effort to make sure that they are relevant and engaging.

If you are someone who needs detailed lectures do not take her classes!!! She just talks and shows pictures and fast at that. Her test are so hard and she grades SO HARSHLY!
