Prof. Bennette's style is definitely lecture heavy, but I found her very engaging and fun. As long as you're actively participating in class and homework, she will be supportive and helpful if you need it. I had a project mix-up and I was so stressed that it would tank my grade, but she was so understanding and flexible in figuring out a solution. I don't plan to be a history major, but I wish she could be my advisor.

I enjoyed the material in this class but Prof. Bennette lectured the WHOLE time. For me, it was very hard to stay engaged. You are expected to take notes on everything she says as she will put these items on exams. You have to write weekly discussion questions to accompany a large set of readings.

This is a very old fashioned lecture-only class. Bennette would talk the whole time with no visual aids but she is an incredible lecturer and made me want to be a history minor. Generally the work was not that hard either. Would recommend!

It was wonderful to take a class with Bennette, as she is SO knowledgable and passionate about what she's teaching. Lots of reading, but usually was interesting--and she encouraged skimming for longer readings.
