Reviews of professor Farzana Scafuri

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
 The course is relatively straightforward if you stay attentive and follow the study guide. She allows the use of notes during quizzes but not exams. When testing is over, she goes over the quizzes to tell you what the right answer is and why is that. Taking notes during her class is important, if not you probably won't pass.

Keeps your attention. You can learn if you pay attention to lectures. Weekly assessments which are like actual tests- papers to read answer questions and quizzes. Lecture heavy but interesting stuff.

She is a pretty tough grader, but if you take your time to give thoughtful answers for each discussion, then you should pass with an A. Also, make sure to provide strong evidence for each answer. Discussions are 30% of your grade. Exams are 30% of your grade. Final essay is 40% of your grade.

Lecture heavy but you can actually learn a lot. Taking notes is crucial. In class assignments ever week, midterm and final.

Genuinely cares about what she teaches. Professor Scafuri made me love U.S. History after hating the subject my whole life due to her interesting lecture topics. Lots of reading. I took this as a mini b spring class and so it was a lot of work in a very short amount of time but was sooooo interesting. Take this class with her!!

This class is only lectures. They are long and confusing. She didn't give many assignments so grades are based on like 6 assignments. She talks the entire time and I overall didn't learn anything. I took notes and did the readings and still was confused. Class isn't difficult if you know what you're doing.

I recommend taking her class online, mostly just discussions and a few exams here and there (not proctored). Extremely easy and interesting class, discussions are genuinely interesting to learn about.

Test every week. mid term and final. Can be funny at times. Often references various past events with present day which is interesting to see how history still playing out today.

lectures soooo long. but you can learn-she keeps yu awake walking around and standing in front of you and looking at evrybody. Lots of weekly inclass assignments - readings, quiz all graded so you must attend classes. Super nice.

Can't get by without doing the reading assignments and taking notes. Does a lot of writing on board which helps with taking notes. Lots of weekly tests. Midterm and Finals - essays and multiple choice. Gives study guide for essays. gives really good feedback.
