Quite quirky she really is wonderful if you are open minded and love history

Demanding course but very interesting. Offered many insightful information in addition to the text. Extremely helpful when students come to her with problems.

A great prof. UNLESS you think that you know everything and that history is nothing but leaders and wars, the you will hate her & make other students hate you for being so shallow. She tries very hard to teach her students to THINK, not just recite facts.

Well, if I am a moron for thinking she is a good teacher then so be it because she is! If you don't want to learn, don't take her. She inspired me to change my major and has been an inspiration to me. But then apparently I am a moron, despite my 3.7 GPA!

She is an amazing teacher. Teaches in unorthodox ways and makes the classes interesting. You will learn in her class.

I've taken Dr. Carls for History 3 years in a row and, though she is challenging, she is a great teacher. If you keep up with assignments and don't procrastinate, then you will do well. She'll help if you don't understand, just don't be afraid to ask.

Her teaching style is unorthadox,confussing, and inconsistant. Yet she is VERY egar to help you. I just need her to graduate (301 and 499). If you ask, you'll eventually understand, but her style just isn't for me.

She is very interesting and nice.

She is very nice. If I needed help, she seemed happy to give it. If you show that you are interested in the class, you will do much better with her, but you should be interested in all classes.

She is very helpful and makes history come alive.Her knowledge of European history is amazing. She helps you learn the proper use of the library.

She is too smart for slackers. If you want to learn, she's your woman--if not, try someone else. She expects you to do your best.

Easy if you pay attention and are willing to put a little effort in the class. She really prepares you for what's expected of college students.

Dr. Carls is a great professor. She is very open to helping her students. Must listen past her accent. Quizzes are easy as long as you do the study guide. Pay attention to the essay question on the mid-term and final and you should pass easy. She will go over how to do her essay during a class.

She is so sweet. I love her. She is helpful and easy. The accent is nothing to worry about. She is very nice...and quirky.

Dr.Carls is a very sweet lady.She is helpful when it comes to the material.If you need help don't be afraid to go to her.That is what she is there for.If you are serious about history take Dr.Carls,because you will learn alot.

Oh my gosh her wierd ass acient is impossible to tolerate. I mean i just want to kill myself! However she is very easy at least for the summer classes! Take home exams! Im telling you if you can tune her out yuo will be just fine!

all her test are essay but you dont have to take ANY notes...just show up to class and do the study guide and study it and you will make at A

Dr. Carls isn't that bad. Go to class and listen to her. Read the books, this is important. Take notes and do your best on the paper. The portfolio is a breeze. If you try you will do well. She is lenient on assignment due dates too. Seriously, if you do the work, you will do well. If you just show up and screw around, then you get what you get.

Very enthusiastic about her history. Lectures are NOT boring. She does have an accent, but so do we! Listen and take notes. She gives a study guide and choice of essay questions before the tests, you have to write the whole test out in a blue book. It was hard for me, but I made an A. The reading was very bundlesome and impossible to keep with.

The best professor at UTM.

Dr Carls is a very understanding professor. Incredibly intelligent, and is passionate about history and the world 2day. She cares about her students, and wants them to learn. Note: she likes the front row students the best, so find a seat up close. Read the text. She gives a study guide for the tests (essays). Study and you will do fine.

She knows her stuff and it's obvious that she likes history. She's kind of random and long winded. Overall her class is pretty easy. I took her in the summer and only had two tests and a final and she gave a very detailed study guide for all three. Listen and class and use the study guide and you should be fine.

Her tests are not the easiest in the world, but she is a good teacher to have. I have learned many things in her class and many of the things I learned in high school have been used in her class. If you can have her, I would most def. get her as my professor.

She is french and intelligent. She has every single lecture planned out, and really knows her stuff. You can tell she loves history. HOWEVER, I am not sure what it is, but I cannot keep focus in her class, nor can anyone else I have observed. But she gives you a study guide before each test, and if you take the time to learn it, you will do well.

She is a great teacher.She reminds me of Joan of Arc from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. She is incredibly intelligent but she has that randomness to her that is very enduring.

She is a pretty nice teacher. She really knows history and makes it understandable. Her tests are writing intensive and can be tough if you don't study the study guides. Attending class really helps. She follows the general outline of the book but adds her own stuff. You have to read the text and study to do well.

Carls is different, but not bad. I liked her. And she's not hard.

so..much..FUN!

I took this class on-line and she was great. Very clear expectations and assignments. She answered email quickly and offered help when needed. The tests are hard and you do have to read the material but I would take her class again

I took her online class and she was so nice. I love her and I hope I could take her class again...

This is my second class with Carls. Write down everything. Sometimes tests come from seemingly insignificant details, but they are always online and they are very short and simple. Takes a few days to get past her accent. She is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and passionate. Do the work, write the paper (Zotero!), go to class, and you'll do well.

Dr. Carls is an amazing teacher. She truly cares about her students and whether we pass or fail, she is incredibly kind. I would recommend her as a teacher. However, this is not an easy class, you are expected to know the chapter before coming to class and lectures can be rather long.

I took Alice Catherin Carls for History 122. She was amazing!!! Very help full. Any questions she is gladly to help. Be prepared to participate in discussion board. We usually covered 2 chapters a week but I like it finished before Spring Break.

Dr. Carls is the best professor I have ever had!! She goes above and beyond to help! Very interesting class.

Dr. Carls is easily one of the most compassionate professors on UTM's campus. Her courses can be difficult at times and she does move quickly, but she challenges you. She's a qualified educator and even better, she's a wonderful human being.

She is there to help her students anytime she can. You must attend because she will take attendance every class for a grade. She can sometimes be all over the place but she is a wealth of knowledge. She is very qualified and History majors really should take advantage of her knowledge and experience.

I had her online and in my opinion, she's a good teacher. She replied to all of my emails in a decent amount of time and answers my questions. For 121 she uses launchpad instead of canvas but it was easy to use. Her discussion questions really make you think but it helps get a better understanding of the material. Just do the work and do your best.

I took the Hist 122 online part term class. It is a good bit of writing but it is not that bad. You have 3 quizes to do every week but they are easy come straight from the book. It was an A easing class HIGHLY recommend if you need an A just do the work.
