Prof Reagan is a good, easy prof. No need for the text book as long as you take notes. The Source book is DEF need. As long as you show up to class and take notes, its an easy A. 4 papers short 1-2 page papers, and 3 test is all of your work. A+!

One of the best teachers I have ever taken. The subject matter itself has the potential to be mind-numbingly boring. However, I had her over the summer in a 4 HOUR CLASS AT NIGHT and she kept my attention from start to finish. If you attend every class and take good notes, you will not need your textbook. Her exams are easy if you pay attention.

She is a great professor I had her for HIS 101 and HIS 102. There are 3 exams, 4 papers to write, and no other assignments. Everything is laid out in the syllabus, which she does not change and sticks to so you shouldn't get confused about anything. Basically, as long as you pay attention during lectures you'll have an easy A.

Reagan is a great History professor. She teaches using powerpoints so the book isnt needed. She'll ask you essay questions that are in the book, but you can just look to see what the questions are from someone elses book and save your $80.I had two essays (2 pg), multiple choice quizzes each week, and two tests(content in test given ahead of time.)

Prof. Reagan is a saint!!! Anything said bad about her should be delt with as heresy! She uses powerpoints in class (which are all available in blackboard day 1!!!) All her exams are essay format but material is easy to comprehend and most exams are a 4-5 paragraph summary. She is very knowledgeable in her department and is willing to take a few minutes from the lecture to go into more detail about a specific subject. I've only seen her upset once and she couldnt figure out the volume on her computer. If I could I would take all my history classes with her.

Professor Reagan is the best professor! She gives lectures as if she is reading you a storybook. History is never boring with her. She drops the lowest 2 quiz scores. Her study guides are basically the test. Her essays are short (1 to 2 pages) and she is more than happy to revise them before you turn them in. If you hate history, TAKE HER!!

Only needed one HIS course for my science degree, glad I took Women in American History with this professor. Easy and interesting. Only (small) gripe: she doesn't give 100% on tests, which is silly to make unattainable when grading on a 100 point system. Highest grade you can get in this course is 98%, which is pretty easy to get.

She is a great educator. You are required to do about 4 essays in the class and a few quiz's. Honestly if you show up to lectures, take notes and listen... You are going to pass the class. She knows what she is talking about and gives little bits of interesting information about the subjects. You don't need the book except for the essays.

The class was extremely easy. There were 3 or 4 tests, and she gives a study sheet that has the same terms and essay questions as the test. Her "papers" are about one page long, and you only have 4 per semester. Textbook is only needed for the essay prompts. Otherwise, the class was really boring. I just stayed home and looked over her powerpoints

I have taken Prof Reagan before and she is probably the best you can get at NOVA. Assigns 4 3-5 paragraphs essays and has 3-4 exams that consist of IDs and an essay. The exam is literally given to study from the class before so it is extremely easy. She uploads PowerPoints beforehand so you can print those out and use them for notes.
