Dr. Ferron-Gabriele was a great professor. she was lecture heavy, but made it easy to follow along and gave the students access to the PowerPoints to follow along with her lectures. she gave lots of opportunities for extra credit, and was flexible with your needs and stumbling blocks. definitely would take her again !!

She's the BEST professor I have ever had. Very intelligent, respectful, and passionate about her subject. Gives excellent and memorable lectures and gives out plenty of extra credit opportunities. Participation matters but it is an easy daily grade. She does not hand out 100s so it makes you feel very smart when you get them. Take this class!

I took a 6 week online history course with Dr. Ferron and it was not bad at all. There were a lot of assignments to do since it's a 6 week course, but it wasn't very difficult. She gave one project and 4 essays throughout the course and the essays were extremely easy. The project was super easy to get a 100 and was pretty fun. I'd take her again!

She was by far one of my favorite Professors online! There are no exams. 3 essays, Project, 24 DP, 12-13 quizzes 4th essay is the final and offers 2 extra credit tasks. It's a lot of R/L. Her quizzes are based on her lectures, FAST responder to emails which I appreciated! Your grade depends on you! Wouldn't recommend if you work full time.

Her quizzes are timed of 10 min in 10 questions. At first it got me overwhelmed and it kinda forces you to remember the 30-1 hour lecture but if you take great notes then the quizzes aren't too hard. The essays are straightforward as long as you follow the prompt. She was very kind and she made history fun, especially if your a fan of history.

It's a lot of time dedicated to it, content goes by super quick. The good thing is that it is fast and she grades kindly, the more unfortunate part is getting yourself to complete two hour long videos and read two books at once every single day for each unit (a day long) to complete.

As long as you watch the lectures and read the assigned readings, you will do well in this class. The hardest part about the class were the essays but she gives you tips for success when writing them

If I could only use three words to describe Dr. Ferron, it would be "Raise Your Game". If your in college not ready to learn, don't take her class. If you came to college to learn, then Dr. Ferron is your teacher. Her enthusiasm, intellect, and willingness to help students is unmatched. She wants the best from and for her students.

Do not mistake this as an easy class. It will take a lot of time, esp for the essays. She does grade pretty harsh but she means well with it. My best advice is to finish the essays early and send them to her days before the due date, as she is always open to give feedback. She is very sweet!!

Dr. F was a wonderful professor who wants you to succeed. I took her 5-week class, and it was not easy at all,She has video lectures for the topic which are very helpful. She has different projects, and you have to write unit essays, so it is not a class for people who don't like to work. I took her for both History 1301 and 1302 and loved her.
