Professor Pasternak is a very engaging and dynamic lecturer. Though the grading and the weight of her assignments are daunting, I believe she awards actually learning/understanding the content. That being said, grades are not free and I was surprised receiving my first essay grade back. She leaves very detailed feedback on the essays, and is open to discussing her comments with you during office hours. I really enjoyed how she handled all of the topics she discussed, some of them a bit provocative, but very interesting. I hope I get to take another one of her classes! |

I was weary of being taught by Professor Pasternak because she was new to UMD and had no idea what her teaching style would be like, but I was pleasantly surprised. Her lectures were honestly too engaging, and I felt like her knowledge of the subject made me want to learn more. Be aware that a big portion of your grade is the essays (3 in total), with around six discussion board posts you have to do, so do not slack off with those. I felt the work to be manageable. Pasternak is great, and hopefully I get to take her again at some point. |
