Reviews of professor Nicole Dressler

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
she was incredible!! her 50 minute class was split into half lecture (but not everything on the ppt so you had to lock in!) & half reading discussion. it kept you engaged the whole time. she & the ta were tough graders but it really made me lock in and improve my writing

Professor Dressler is a great professor who is passionate about her work. She expects you to work hard, meaning you must do the readings and speak up in class. She is the quickest grade you will ever have and always gives great feedback on your writing. Furthermore, she is always available to talk via email or during office hours. GREAT FOR HISTORY

She is such a sweet and caring professor. The class wasn't too hard but it is important to pay attention and follow the guidelines for the assignments. Participation definitely matters

I would recommend professor Dressler to anyone. She is smart, caring, and passionate. She grades things very quickly and gives you great feedback on how to be a better writer. She assigns a lot of reading, and you are expected to participate, but she is fair. Most of all, she is extremely caring for her students!!

Professor Dressler is a nice person but her grading criteria is ridiculous. At times, I would clarify a point with her in person and we would both reach an understanding only for her to dock credit because of said point later on. Furthermore, she will NOT be clear in ANY rubric and will grade you on issues she makes up on the spot.

Professor Dressler's Early American Republic class was a good introduction to a "bottom up" view of history, where we focused on common people rather than the politicians and generals that are usually the star of a class. It was a different and interesting view of history. You don't have to do the readings, but her lectures are interesting.

Dressler is great--she is very passionate, knowledgebale, a natural instructor, great at leading discussion, and helpful inside and outside of class. She quickly returns work (fair grader) and her lectures are very interesting and comprehensive. Truly nothing bad to say about her or the class.

Dressler was one of the best Professors that I have had at William & Mary So far. She gives amazing lectures and it is clear that she knows her stuff. Make sure that you are participate in class as it makes up a large part of your grade. Also, do all the reading she assigns because if you do not it will be hard to participate. She is a fair grader

Professor Dressler is just the best. All of the work assigned was so helpful to fully understand the content. Her feedback on papers is SO helpful. She also approaches teaching the topic in a variety of ways with readings, podcasts, movies, lectures, and individual research.
