Took this class online. There was a lot of reading, but you could scan through it pretty quickly. Basically, consisted of about a dozen discussion boards over reading assignments and some videos. Was very lenient with posts after the due date and if you do more than the required 10, it counts as extra credit. Take it, you learn and it's an easy A!

The text discussion wins the course from me. The course is gearded to make you rethink and to question history as it is taught. That was great.

She definitely teachers her opinions. We had 2 online materials which our assignments were based off of, one "book" was full of grammar & spelling errors (they spelled United States as "United SLATES" at least 5 times I found) & the other text was from a Libertarian Communism site. I was hoping for a non-basis course on the facts about US History.

You can't go wrong with choosing Amy Bell for HIST 1301. She does well to make learning the real portions of history interesting for us. Above all, she teaches you to think more critically about the history we've been taught and the repercussions of teaching history the wrong way. I highly recommend taking her course!

Not your traditional history class where you have to memorize dates/names for exams and then forget everything after. Lots of discussions, both online and in class. Textbooks are free, three essays, no quizzes or exams. Lenient on grading. Attendance not mandatory and recommended; lectures will help with essays. Hilarious and gives extra credit.

Solid history teacher who gives you a new look on history lessons. Makes it a bit more interesting. However readings/videos are tedious & long. Very reasonable time due dates. The work isn't hard if you just sit down and attempt to get it done. Worst part is grading takes long, so not sure whether extra credit should be done or not.

As someone who is liberal herself, this teacher takes it too far and gets boring real quick. Didn't learn anything new so when the final came along with the topic to write what I learn in her class which I failed because even with lying I couldn't even think of anything to lie about.

A fantastic choice for HIST. Professor Bell really cares about students learning about the missing pieces in their historical educational, and as long as you keep up with the discussion boards and know what to write for the major essays, you'll be set. Also no declarative knowledge here, memorizing dates is meaningless.

In each part, you write a paper and submit it by the "due date" given, although the real due date is just the week before the last day of class. You can easily get ahead if you need to, but the teacher doesn't grade until the last week.
