Reviews of professor Karen Benjamin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Benjamin is such a great teacher. She really cares about her students and what she is lecturing. She offers extra credit and a lot of help. There is nightly reading and if you take notes on it, you can use it on quizzes! I am taking her again!

Professor Benjamin may be the greatest history professor ever. She is a hard grader, but she is trying to get you to put forth your best work. She gives daily quizzes on the readings with open notes and then one research paper. Basically do the reading and work hard on the paper and you'll do fine.

Professor Benjamin truly cares about her students. She wants you to do well and understands that life happens and is willing to work with you. She is the most thoughtful and caring professors at Elmhurst and wants you to succeed. I am not a history major but surely will be taking another course with her again!!!

Professor Benjamin is amazing! She is extremely caring and you can really tell she loves what she does. Professor Benjamin will help you with anything as long as you show her that you care about her class as well. If you are active in class, and truly put an effort, you'll be good! 10/10 recommend taking her!

Dr. Benjamin is a great professor, my favorite one at Elmhurst so far. Although there is reading due every class, with subsequent daily quizzes, it is for your good! The quizzes reflect the same topics covered on tests and essays. She really wants everyone to succeed and challenge themselves. The lectures are refreshing and engaging!

Prof Benjamin is a wonderful professor!! I am not a history major but after taking this course I would love to take more history classes with her! There are daily readings and quizzes, but it is not hard at all. You can use notes on the quizzes and she gives lots of participation quizzes and extra credit! She is so caring and wants you to succeed!

Took her class in spring of 2022. While the class was very engaging, the daily quizzes began to get old fast. On top of that, there were oftentimes on 10-15+ pages of material that you had to know pretty much IN DEPTH. Other than that, great professor and I learned quite a bit from her lectures

Dr. Benjamin will be undoubtedly the most enjoyable and easygoing professor that you will have. She loves the topics she covers and loves if you enjoy the time you spend in the class. Accessible, fair, and caring for her students.
