Tufts University: Ina Baghdiantz McCabe - History - Professor ratings, reviews and much more | JumboAccess
Review: I loved this professor and really enjoyed the class. Awesome visuals of historical footage, good lectures and lots of discussion on relevant issues like Rwanda, or war and international law that you would not imagine from the title. The best way to fulfill your Word Civ. I went to see her for bibliography and she lent me one of her own books, she goes out of her way, super helpful, always there, you do not expect so much kindness from someone so well published and knowledgeable. Not a stuck up professor.
Workload: Reading helps follow the lectures, some are harder than others, lots of cool visuals, smashing historical visuals. If you do not want to discuss the readings she will not call on you randomly so you can get away with it but the class will be hard to follow. One take home mideterm, option of presentation or paper, while usually a waste of time some of the presentations by other students were amazing in this class. She is really strict about attendence when other students present.

Review: This is an amazing course, professor McCabe is awesome. Some unbelievable historic footage of WWI and Russian revolution etc....follows her lectures and makes things even more lively. She is vivacious and lively, lectures brilliantly but always stopped to involve us, she never monologues like many profs I have had, always available and helpful and upbeat. I just loved her way of organizing the course thematically and escaping narrow national histories.
Workload: There are some very good reading some that are a little theoretical on nationalism, movies on reserve, one movie, Egoyan's Calendar in class, and historical footage that made this course a joy. One take home midterm, oral presentation but I chose a paper as did most of the class. She leaves you the choice of your topic in a very vast course. Clear expectations, 15 page syllabus, no surprises ever.

Review: FANTASTIC! If you?re tired of learning about boring history you should take this intriguing class taught by the best of the best. Professor McCabe really loves what she teaches and is reflected in the class.
Workload: There is a lot of in class discussions and a take home midterm. A pretty fun and easy class, extremely recommended.

Review: What a wonderful, wonderful professor! Which teacher would give you a take home midterm, treat you and your class to breakfast before Thanksgiving break, give you NO final, and then treat you with dinner at the end? Not too many. I'm very grateful that I took this class, not only because of Professor McCabe, but because it has given me a better outlook on the history of food. Honestly, if your not a big history buff, but want to take a fun class, this one is for you.
Workload: Very light. Lots of reading for in class discussions, movies every Wednesday, take home midterm, and final paper on a topic of your choice. There is lots of freedom in this class.

Review: I will never take another class with this professor and strongly advise others to stay away. I had a lot of expectations for this course but it has been very disappointing. Her syllabus is very disorganized and it definitely shows in the class. There is very little continuity in the class and we never really learn much about anything. The class meets twice a week and all we do for one of those classes is watch a movie. This class is an incredible waste of time.
Workload: She assigns reading but we never come back to them and there is very little class discussion about what we have read. The mid-term and final are both easy because they are take home exams. There is also one oral presentation.

Review: Professor McCabe is a rare gem as brilliant as she is kind. She knows her material so well she lectures without notes takes questions anytime. Speaks at least 6 languages (or more I don't know) and knows exciting sources in all of them. She makes difficult material easy. Knowing the history of consumption will change your world view, a truly global course!
Workload: High, but manageable if you read as you are supposed to, she will never put you on the spot. Advanced class, but the readings are great, especially those on the culture of food. Midterm, paper, lots of support writing the paper, took this as a senior before I graduated my worse semester and managed.

Review: This professor rocks and I notice she has no reviews. She is a five star prof. I took this class about the Caucasus and Armenia after another class with her, don?t let the title fool you this course is very wide and teaches concepts and theory as well as facts, lots of interaction, she loves it if you volunteer to speak and is very encouraging. Prof McCabe is positive, enthusiastic and a very knowledgeable and inspiring lecturer.
Workload: Not too heavy, like most history classes, but some difficult reading, she gives you constant handouts about the hard reading which breaks the difficulties down (Hobsbaum), midterm, an in class presentation or paper( she lets you chose). She will give you the option of a final if your midterm is not tops, but does not change grades except for extra work. She is very generous with her time and will help you.
