Marsha Rozenblit HIST106 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/06/2024	Extremely boring lecturer, harsh grader, and generally unpleasant. She'll insult you for your writing if it's not up to her antiquated standards, and her tests are nonsensical. The main issue is with expectations. Her "tests" are split into two sections: being given random names she said in class and writing down their importance and the DATE THEY'RE FROM, meaning it's all rote memorization, and an essay portion. The essay portion is inoffensive since it's just a standard test essay, but the first section is inexcusable. Her class feels like it hasn't been changed since PowerPoint released. ELMS also seems to be a mystery to her. She doesn't post grades nor assignments on ELMS so you'd better get used to studying the course syllabus. Unless you're really invested in the material, this class is not worth it as a GenEd.

Take her class if you want to learn. If you're engaged in class and in the material, she will like you and you will do just fine. She's also a nice lady regardless of what others might say. Old school but still "schooling" other professors when it comes down to how to teach.
Marsha Rozenblit HIST106 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 12/01/2023	Personally, I loved this class. I feel like the information is very valuable and interesting. Each class is a lecture, so be prepared to sit for a long time. My friend and I always take bathroom breaks halfway through LOL. Rozenblit is a very good professor. I know she doesn't have great reviews, but I loved learning from her. Highly recommend talking to her after class and getting to know her a little so she has motivation to give you a good grade in class. The grade consists of a midterm (25%), 5-page paper (25%),Response paper (15%), final (30%), and class participation (5%). I will say that she is on the harsher side of a grader, but I really didn't mind. In short, if you don't mind putting in a little more work than anticipated for a 100-level class, I would highly recommend this course if the subject matter is interesting to you.

It is way too hard for a gen ed / elective, so please do yourself a favor and take another history class. There are four assignments for the entire semester, and she can be a very tough grader, not necessarily with just the history aspects of your paper but also English conventions, too. Also, her exams are entirely essays - no multiple choice / true false / fill in the blank / etc.
