She is tough, but fair... Her class was well taught and I enjoyed being in it each day... Work is hard, she expects greatness from each student... But if you pay attention and put in the effort, then you'll do well...
The Class isn't easy. Newhouse doesn't like when your late and wants you to participate in class discussions. She responds to emails at a timely manor, and tries to point you in the right direction instead of giving the answer. If you're willing to try, she'll pass you. She cares and wants you to actually learn, and I think I really have. :)
Dr. Amy is my hero, and I am proud that I was a student of hers. She is precise, does lecture and gives exact expectations of work required and will work hard to make sure you understand the context.
Doesn't give out many test. For every class you have to read and study so that is expected yet her test aren't hard. What you study and took notes on is 100% of the time in the test . If you pay attention, take notes, and study before the test you should be good to go.
Amy Newhouse is a great professor. If you put in the work, you will more than likely get great results. She offers an extra credit opportunity to summarize everyday lectures to help study for upcoming tests. She looks for thought process and believes in partial credit. DO NOT MISS A CLASS! Attendance is crucial to getting a good grade. Recommended
if you show up for class and do the reading she assigns you will get an easy 20% of your grade. She assigned three essays (research areas were given to you) and graded hard on it but easy to maintain. I had three tests (including final) study before hand, she wants names and what they did, put in work and you will get an A
Dr Newhouse is a great professor, she is passionate and it shows in every one of her lectures. History is my worst subject but I actually learned a lot this semester because she makes it really interesting. 3 tests, 3 papers. If you put in the work, you will get a good grade. She definitely wants all her students to succeed.
Gives a ton of homework. But if you put in the work, you will learn a lot and get good grades. Just be ready for work.
Good presentations,engages students into class discussions. Hard but managable, you have to work for an A. A lot of readings, and videos some are very interesting.
Gives good lectures and easy notes. Not much homework, just reading almost daily, however, they are not long and some are fun.
Dr. Newhouse knows a lot about her material. Tests are fairly straight-forward if you study and there are no surprises. Overall, you learn a lot about some neat history and it's a great course for easy mandatory credit.
Great teacher, she is very clear and understanding. Make sure you take very good notes, that's what you will need for the exams because she does not give out reviews.
Dr. Newhouse was a great professor. She was very helpful. She gives quizzes over the readings so you must read the readings. She explains everything clearly and easier. She also gives extra credit. I would highly recommend her.
She is a really great professor. She does assign readings and having reading quizzes. If you pay attention in class then you will be fine. You do have to do papers but you can choose which ones you want to do.
I love her as a teacher because of her I understand history a lot better. Just go to class read assigned readings and you will be fine. You will have to write 3 papers but she provides you with the information, so you don't have to do no outside research.
Show up, pay attention to the lectures, and take notes and you'll be fine.
Great teacher, learned a lot would def choose her again if I get the opportunity to.
Great teacher. You only fail if you fail to try. Expect papers, they either make you or break you.
You must take notes of her lectures to pass.
Took this class for a summer 6 week session. There was required readings and lectures daily through the week with short quizzes. Instructor was very informative and provides all material you need to be successful in her class. Would definitely take her class again. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Daily assignments came straight from audio or sometimes video lecture. Give yourself enough time to listen to the whole lecture, go over the readings, and look at the slideshow(even though it has no words, you figure out what everything is at some point). Dont skip anything and try to use google!
Good Teacher
Summer course: 4 tests, 20 lectures, 20 quizzes. I learned a lot this summer about the medieval time period, however she was hard to contact due to her being on vacation in Germany, and she didn't give the promised feedback on tests or quizzes. Goodluck!
I took this during the summer online. There were assignments due everyday at midnight. You had some readings and then a lecture video to watch; after those you took a short quiz. As long as you do it you will make a good grade. There was extra credit, which helps if you missed an assignment. Overall, she very nice and has a great personality!
Summer course has 4 tests, 20 lectures, 20 quizzes. I learned a lot this summer about the medieval time . She was hard to contact because she was on a vacation in Germany, and she didn't reach out to us for a couple of questions. We all had to email each other for information. Homework every single day for the summer 1. Overall shes a sweet lady:)
There are 4 tests that are worth 60% of your grade, so it is very important to do well on these. Some of the readings can be very long and also if listening to the lectures can take up a lot of time if you're busy during the summertime. I recommend taking this course during either the fall or spring semester that way the workload would be lighter.
I appreciate her perspective of higher learning, but she holds her students to a high standard. She is NOT an easy teacher, she makes you work for your grade and often lashes out at those who don't toe the line. Her content is interesting but she requires a lot of participation and the content is heavy.
Took class during the summer, make sure you have enough time because there is a lecture and quiz everyday. All the reading is provided, I did not use the textbook once, which she told us after I had bought one.
It's a very relaxed class, but participation is a must! Assignments due just about every night. Have a good pair of headphones too that don't hurt your ears. There are a decent amount of videos and audio to listen to. Overall it's a good class;I would definitely select this professor again.
Follow the syllabus and make sure you read the text given to you.
Gives you every available option to receive the information you are to learn about. Heavy reading but well worth it by the time the test or quiz comes around because you are going to need it. All around a great professor.
Gives a lot of notes and videos so if you are not present for them then you will lose points for attendance and will not pass the class if notes are not taken. No multiple choice and pretty hard grader so make sure you study. Overall a good professor offers extra credit, she makes you earn it.
Dr. Newhouse provided a lot of notes, videos, keyterms to help you understand the material. I really enjoyed this class. Also, She provided with a lot of details that are useful to know instead of dates to memorize. To success on her class, you will need to read, listen and watch the material provided and analyze the information.
Excellent lectures, and no surprises when it comes to the tests. Every question you get on the test comes from her lectures, which makes it very easy to study and prepare for.
Make sure an pay attention to the lectures and reading the smallest detail from the reading or 45 minute lecture could be on the 5-20 min quiz. overall your participation determines your grade . pretty straight forward and the daily quizzes actually helped me keep track of my other classes because I knew I had to log on everyday to complete my quiz
I took Dr. Newhouse for an online general humanities class, and though it is only a six week class, it's a lot of work. I wouldn't recommend taking this class with an otherwise heavy course or workload because it is very time consuming. My one complaint is she can be a bit derogatory about other religions, specifically Catholicism.
Overall not that bad. Understanding of time constraints. time limit on quizzes and tests (to prevent cheating which is understandable) but time limit was still not enough for me on a few assignments.
Took online for summer 1. She has some tech difficulties but the class isn't bad.
This class does have alot of reading , but it prepares for all the quizzez when class starts. They are fairly easy though. Come to Class because you will miss something. I think Professer Newhouse was great and she made the class to where if you were failing she gave you strategies on how to pass. I would definitely take her again.
Reading and attending class will prepare you well for the quizzes and exams. Her class is lecture heavy and because of that I would not suggest you miss class. She does make you work for your grade but at the same time she does make it possible to make an A in her class. She is a great professor and would definitely take her again.
She is a good teacher only bad thing was her reviews are like essays papers but filled with questions, but she test questions comes mostly from the lecture notes and some from the video and reading s she assign but she will tell us what readings will be on the test. So don't miss class cause she doesn't upload she notes online.
Awesome prof. Listen to her lectures and you'll pass.
She is a great professor, knows what she is talking about and you can tell she enjoys teaching it. Very detailed and clear during her lecture. Get ready to read for her reading quizzes however they are short readings. Just show up to class take detailed notes that she writes and you'll pass test with a good grade.
Professor Newhouse is honestly a kind-hearted person. She doesn't rush but when she does it's only because she's so engrossed in her lectures. Yes, every once in awhile one would have to read those textbooks and have those pop quizzes- but one should be fine as long as they do the readings beforehand. Other than that, I would take her again.
Pretty good professor if I had to say anything bad I would just say to be a little more organized and write bigger but other than that great lectures and everything she says in on the test
She is an awesome Professor who has understanding of what she teaches. She ensure that all her students are on top of their work, she want everyone to be successful. She is amazing.
Dr. Newhouse puts her heart and soul into her lectures. Hire her.
Great class. You take lots of notes, she gives a test review before the tests. The tests are an accumulation of your review and notes. The homework is usually readings from your book, that you may or may not have a quiz on. So make sure to do the readings. Do all this and you'll pass the class.
She is passionate towards the subject and always shares her opinions. It was a difficult class for me because she basically just copied her outline on the board. She uses power point pictures for visuals but it doesn't really flow with her lecture. Overall a nice teacher, just not my preference of lecture.
Honestly it wont be an easy class. You will find yourself taking a ton of notes and if you aren't big on reading books, well goodluck. There are maybe 2 quizzes a month over the books and 3 tests throughout the semester. She adds a lot of humor to her lectures which makes the class fun. I would definitely retake her.
Very passionate professor. Thoroughly explains each topic. Must be present in class. She is particular about being on time. Must take notes throughout lecture in order to pass test. She does give test reviews a week before exam. As long as you have your notes you'll be fine on the review/test. Overall she made learning ancient culture exciting.
She is passionate about the subject she teaches. She is thorough in explaining details and if you don't understand she will find a way to help you understand. She relates the content to daily life which is easy to remember. She is not ashamed to convince you to agree with her subtle hints of liberalism though. Overall great professor. Highly recom.
She is a fun teacher that explains things well. Her tests are a little hard, but she provides reviews with all the information needed. She applies real life scenarios to her lectures making it easier to understand. Would definitely recommend her.
passionate about her job and makes lectures easy
awesome teacher definitely recommend it
She provides plenty of extra credit opportunities and held study sessions for her classes the night before an exam as well. She does give alot of reading quizes that are at the beginning of class but they aren't very long
This professor rocked! Gives great extra credit opportunities and is a great history teacher. She was funny and smart and really cared about her students passing, she gives a long review for tests but also provides a study group and she help with questions you don't know. Great Great teacher, would for sure take again!
This class was very helpful for me Dr. Newhouse is a great professor her lectures really help you to understand what is going on in modern America. History has never been an enjoyable subject for me, but I genuinely enjoy showing up to her class to learn something new. Take her class ! You won't regret it
Great professor who offers many extra credit opportunities
Talks to the class in a slightly informal but also in a professional manner. Speaks very well. She writes on the board in marker colors that are sometimes hard to read. try your best to not sit in the back. Gives many opportunities for extra credit. Tells personal stories relating to the lecture topic.
Daily quizzes to encourage you to learn the days topic. Fun and interesting lecture. She helps you in every way possible to be sure you are successful. I wish I could have take her for 1301 too.
Not an easy A type of class, tests are engaging enough to have you pay attention to her lectures and take notes besides, some book essays are involved. But the prof is just amazing. Does her best at explaining history and cares about her student's progress. She gives multipleextra credit opportunities and study sessions. I loved her sense of humor
she is great. if you pay attention and do what you suppose to do you are going to do great.
She's a really great professor! I enjoyed taking her class and would take her again! Her lectures are interesting and makes class fun. You have to take notes in order to pass the tests! She also gives lots of extra credit and helps review for the tests.
Amy Newhouse is a great teacher, she inspired me to want to major in history! I've never been a huge history buff, but now i'm able to have a conversation about it.
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing professor. Very lecture heavy but if you take notes and pay attention test should be easy. Test are very engaging though. She makes the class interesting, and easy to understand. She is very passionate about teaching, also do the readings assigned and should help a lot with the test.
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor. She cares about her students and wants all of them to pass. You just have to take notes and pay close attention to pass this class. It's not a hard class it's informative.
Newhouse is very clear about what she wants us to know for our tests and for the rest of our lives
Great professor. Requires participation. Gives extra credit. Tests are simple
Fun class. Must show up for the lectures to be able to pass. Gives a lot of extra credit
Amy Newhouse is a super great teacher and if I could take her again I would. She does take advantage of the text book criteria but if you do all your work and study, you will do just fine. She is extremely sweet and is willing to work with you and help in any way she can.
Dr. Newhouse was one of my favorite teachers this semester. Her love for history really shows when she's giving lectures. She was very kind, fair, and encouraging. As was well organized and professional. I would definitely recommend her!
Really great professor, you have to keep up on the readings that she posts because there will definitely be pop quizzes, but they are all easy quizzes. The tests make a lot of sense and if you pay attention and take notes they will be easy to pass. I would definitely recommend her, shes very knowledgeable and confident in the subjects she teaches
She's an awesome teacher and you can tell she really loves her job. She doesn't believe in multiple choice anything! All tests are short answer and essay driven but she does offer as many points as possible. Also, she gives tons of extra credit opportunities. Just get ready to read!
Amazing professor! Daily quizzes on assigned reading, usually 2-3 questions + always extra credit regarding reading. No multiple choice questions on test they are all the same style. Short answer / essay , if you study and go over your notes you'll do fine + extra credit. very helpful , if you're struggling just ask & she'll be there.
Her lectures are so good, I never really like history but hers were engaging and interesting. She is super funny and cares about her students. She does not just throw a text book at us and tell us to read she also shares her experiences and knowledge which I loved.
Lot's of reading but she does her best to help the students. I'll take her again for sure!
Great Teacher, makes history interesting, some homework but nothing too long or difficult. Know her test are short answer, but study just a bit and you'll be fine.
Dr. Newhouse is very nice, her lectures are fun and educational. the grading is very easy and flexible. however, DO NOT turn in late assignments. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Newhouse is a great teacher. She is very caring and knows the material. She is clear as to what she expects from you and she is very considerate and fair. She is not boring at all and she tries her best to make lectures fun and engaging. Overall, I recommend Prof. Newhouse.
Professor Newhouse is really great and funny. You can tell that she clearly cares about the subject and wants to see her students succeed. Her exams are fill in the blank, which i thought would be challenging at first, but honestly as long you take notes on her lectures and go over them, the tests are pretty easy. Definitely taking her next sem.
She's nice. You have to get ready to ready 2 books.
Dr. Amy Newhouse is honestly a wonderful professor. Her lectures are very insightful and detailed, so oftentimes if you dont show up to a lecture, youll lose valuavle information you need for a test. Prepared quizzes are written into the syllabus, and pop quizzes are also a thing. Its also a good thing to be punctual to class.
she is great professor and gives a lot extra credits. she also has an clear and specific lecture.
Great professor. . There were lectures each class, homework readings expected to be done for every class. Concurrently there's an additional book that you have to write a paper on. (Don't fall behind on that book, it's hard to write a paper if you're not able to do the reading in a few days.) There's opps for extra credit. Registered for nxt class
Amazing lectures and great Prof would totally take her again.
Dr. Newhouse really cares for her students and their education. Prepare to read from your primary source book. She gives pop quizzes from these readings, but they are very easy and you literally get a 70% on it if you show up and put your name on it. I would definitely take her class again. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Right from day one she encourages students to look for the best price for the required books and warns about how the campus store not only overcharges for the books, but also how one of the required books comes bundled with a textbook that won't even be used in her class. She would inform the class of the best possible deal, typically on Amazon.
Dr. Newhouse was probably one of the best professors I've ever had. She is extremely good at making the material clear so that her students all understand it. Her tests aren't bad if you do the whole review (which she gives for every test). Occasional reading quizzes, but she won't tell you when they are. You get 70 points just for showing though.
Dr. Newhouse is caring and really encourages you to not just pass the class with a good grade, but to actually get involved in the topic and in history. Her lectures are amazing, they are detailed, understandable, organized, and prepare you for the test. She follows the syllabus and has everything planned for the whole semester. Best teacher ever.
Dr. Newhouse is a really good instructor. She makes what we're learning interesting and keeps us engaged at all times. Her lectures are really good and I enjoy listening to them. She's super easy to talk to in and outside of class. Be warned: her tests are free response, but for the most part, if you went over the review, you'll do fine.
She's a great professor! Her lectures are really good, but you do have to read and watch a lot of videos before class which she will quiz you on.
Dr. Newhouse is am amazing proffesor! She cares for the students and will work with you if needed. Definitely recommend her!
Professor Newhouse is dope! She writes everything on the board while she lectures and makes sure everyone is following along. Only had 2 papers that were super easy if you read them a little and 3 tests (including final). Gives extra credit for tests. She has assignments before class but if you don't, she'll still give you a 70 if you show up.
Professor Newhouse is amazing! Her class isn't hard as long as you do your notes and that will help you answer your questions on the review. You have pop quizzes but if you come to class you automatically get a 70.
Dr. Newhouse is one of the best Professors I've had! She's honest, fair and gives you several opportunities to pass the class.
Dr. Newhouse is honestly one of the best teachers I have had. Class is very simple, taking notes and gives many opportunities .
very good teacher, always has a good attitude, and tries to push you to make sure you get the material. overall she is an amazing teacher. but if you hold a political view other than what many college students have, be prepared to bite your tongue, or support your argument. she is an amazing teacher even when taking that into account.
Amazing teacher absolutely love her
She is awesome and really nice gives a lot of extra credit and I love her! Will take again!
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing professor and makes the class environment fun!
Had her my first year in college, she was amazing and has a great teaching style as well!
She is a great teacher, but it is hard to keep
You will have to read in order to pass.
A lot of quizzes , but just make sure to read everyday and you'll be okay
Though we had a hurricane hit and things were a chaotic, in the sense of when grades come back and what will be lectured. She did a fantastic job through all of the hectic things going on and really cared for the students in and out of class.
They way she does lecture and her reviews definitely prepare you for the test. And she keeps you captivated during lecture its not just her rambling
She is very nice, and cares about your grade. Her focus is for you to walk out of that class being able to tak to big business people about history.
Great professor, I would definitely take her again. Make sure you do the readings.
Dr. Newhouse is a very genuine professor. Shes looks out for her students and want them to be successful. She makes history interesting to learn. Beware of pop quizes theyre fairly easy if you read & also study for tests.
Dr. Newhouse is one of the best professors I've ever had! She always seems so engaged in her lecture and always caring about her students. However, if you do not read your books outside of class, you will have a difficult time in class. Just follow her instructions and you'll get an easy A.
Dr. Newhouse gives great lectures and is willing to help students that are struggling. all she's looking for is that you put in some effort. If you take notes in class, remember to go over your notes, maybe rewrite your notes in your own words, and remember to keep up with the readings then you'll do fine.
Love her!
As long as you read what youre supposed to, youll be fine. Provides extra credit at end of the semester. Very caring professor. She will work with you, you just have to show here that youre putting enough effort.
Very sweet lady. Tries to help everyone.
Really sweet lady and you can tell she likes to teach and knows what she's talking about. Writes notes on the board and elaborates on them during lectures. Lots of pop quizzes over assigned readings. Had to read 2 books outside of class and write 2 pg essays on both. 2 tests that are fairly easy if you do the reviews.
she is an amazing woman, she cares a lot about your grade. if you read you'll be fine
Dr. Newhouse is great! Always gives lectures, but gets super into it and knows history very well, & uses a lot of pictures/maps/examples from history. She's young & relatable & brings up relevant topics every day. There's almost always a reading and a video to watch, but they're actually interesting. & two tests (no multiple choice) & two essays
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor! Her lectures are really informative and interesting. For homework you will have readings, read them, there is a 97% chance you will have a reading quiz over it next class. There are three exams, if you study your notes and the review she gives you, you will do just fine! You will have to work for your grade!!!
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor! She keeps you very involved in her lectures. If you show up and pay attention it is very easy to pass this class. Her tests are not multiple choice and are short answered or fill in the blank, but if you pay attention during lecture tests are easy.
Professor is actually a gem, she makes lectures interesting, talks to students as adults, makes great comparisons to present day matters and as long as you do your work and take notes the class is very easy. Even her homework is sometimes interesting, shame she is not full time, i would love to have more professors like her
Dr. Amy Newhouse is the best History professor I've had! She's very caring and helps you with anything she can, as long as you're willing to help yourself! Her tests are short answer responds but if you do the review and memorize everything there won't be any troubles because she makes her lectures actually very interesting.
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing professor who absolutely cares about making sure that her students understand the contents of the course. She is hilarious and she always knows how to relate a topic to the present. History used to be my worst subject, but now its my best one thanks to Dr. Newhouse.
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor. Her lectures are very interesting and she likes to teach current events. Very easy class as long as you do the work.
She is a great professor and her lectures are honestly the best not going to lie!
Dr. Newhouse is a wonderful professor and she cares for her students. She also provide extra credit opportunities. However, the exams that she provided are not multiple choice but her exams are all short answers and an essay prompt is given. As along as you're looking over the reviews, you shouldn't have a problem
Dr. Newhouse is an excellent professor and is very thorough and entertaining in her lectures. Her exams are a bit different as she doesn't have the typical multiple choice but instead she has short answer essay type questions. You will need the books as she does reading quizzes which are basically free 100s if you read the books.
Dr. Newhouse is a wonderful professor who cares about her students and she will work with you if you are struggling. Her tests are unique and will require some studying, but if you follow her lectures no problem.
Dr. Newhouse is one of the most passionate professors I've ever had. She loves what she is doing and she'll make sure you will know about history and be able to talk about current issues in the U.S. Her exams are not multiple choice, but they do their work to try to help you study to pass her class. Amazing professor; I would take her again!!
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor! She hand writes her outline on the board and uses her own ways and examples to explain situations that may be confusing. She assigns short readings and videos with a quiz the next class.
Do the readings
Amazing professor! Lectures are very detailed, and she makes the class fun! If you put in the work, you'll do fine. The only complaint I have is her repeatedly talking about her political opinion in class. I found it distracting.
she is an excellent teacher, she is always willing to help, she is very organized, the classes are not boring and yes, you have to read a lot but it is history you obviously need to read . Just go to classes take notes and read and beware of pop quizzes.
I took Newhouse for 1301 & 1302 history. Shes caring and always puts students first. Her lectures include outlined note taking and she has pip quizzes to insure you are up to date in the textbook. I highly recommend her as she makes history enjoyable.
Shes a fun teacher and all but the only downside is the quiz grades. If you are there in class, youll get points for the quiz even if you dont know it. But if you read and study youll pass. And attend class.
Dr. Amy Newhouse is a great teacher! She cares about what she is teaching and makes it easy for you to understand! I highly recommend taking her!
Going to class is very important because her lecture notes that you take are going to be all of the questions on the review so you have to take good notes or you wont know anything in her class. She makes you work for your grade but grades fairly. Reading is most important in her class if you don't like reading shes not the one for you.
The class was hard if you dont attend class. Attendance was accounted for every class session .Although the class wasnt easy she is willing to answer any question and concerns . There are pop quizzes all the time , and she has no multiple choice questions on quizzes or test . You must study and actively engage in class in order to retain the info
I wish i could take her again! She will help her students do their best in the class. She is caring, funny, and knows what she is talking about. Her tests are straightforward and are easy if you look at your notes the day before. Do the readings and you will have an easy A for the course! Light workload and very interesting. Take her class!
She is a really nice woman and she give great lectures and dont slack off cause you will be left behind.
Dr. Newhouse is absolutely AWESOME! She gives reading quizzes about every other class over videos or readings. Although her class is lecture heavy they pretty interesting. Goes out of her way to help her students. 3 test, projects, and quizzes.
Dr. Newhouse is really great, shes clear when teaching & making assignments. Make sure to read & prepare for quizzes & youll be fine. There are two short essays & a mini project. She will help you as much as she can if you ask for it.
She's a really good professor.
She is a great proffesor. I really feel like it could have been an easy A if I had just done my extra credit work. Definitely passionate about her career. She will open your eyes. Stay woke
She is the best professor Ive had, she is passionate and explain things very well. Would recommend!
Takes her time to explain subjects so test day is easy if you take notes. definitely recommend
Professor Newhouse is very sweet and obviously cares about her students. She does make you work for your grade but only cause she wants you to really learn. 2 papers - each 2 pages long, lots of pop quizzes, 2 tests. Tests are easy if you do the review. Her lectures are great and made me like learning about history.
great teacher. very enthusiastic. i never liked history but her style of teaching for some reason kept me engaged and interested to learn.
Pretty cool teacher, overall she's willing to work with you if you re having a difficult time. Note that you will have to work your but off, you will take notes everyday, get homework everyday, read everyday. This is not a class you can just skip and think you can pass, but overall if attending class, teacher is pretty cool and she lectures good.
Very interesting to listen to, definitely would take it again. The professor keeps her classes entertaining.
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor, I loved being in her class.
Professor Newhouse teaches in a way that engages your attention and you actually want to learn more. I never liked history but I looked forward to coming to her class every Tuesday and Thursday. Tests are short answer and essay format but if you pay attention in class, take notes and do the reviews given then the test aren't bad!
Ms. Newhouse, soon to be marry though, is great, i have never enjoyed a Hist like i enjoyed her's. Taught in a fun way unlike other boring history professor
I really enjoyed this class! Professor Newhouse made the lectures interesting and easier to understand especially when the topics were more difficult. The tests are fill in the blank and essay format but if you study then you should do good.
Dr. NEWHOUSE WAS AMAZING!! She really cares about her students and want them to reach their absolute potential. Her tests are not that bad just write the notes, study them, and youll do fine. Her teaching style is entertaining and easy to understand. I definitely recommend her!
Amazing professor. She lectures and writes notes on the white board along with you, so that she doesn't move too fast. Her reviews are a clear glance of the test. Her tests are not multiple choice, but they're also not difficult at all. Sometimes she gives quizzes over readings from the book, but if you're in class, you're guaranteed a 70.
Professor Newhouse is incredible in that she's very respectable but also funny and relatable. She will really do everything within her power to help you succeed, but she won't hold your hand through it. There are very easy and short readings before every class and two essays over books. The tests are easy. If you try, you'll get a good grade.
Professor Newhouse is an incredible teacher! history isnt my best subject and i actually learned a lot from her notes. if you come to her class everyday and copy her notes, you will pass her tests. shes also very funny and will try to help you with anything you need.
Be prepared to read the books, and there are a lot of quizzes but are very easy. There are two essays about the books and two tests the test are not multiple choice. She is a nice teacher and explain the topics very well, the only thing that I didnt like was that in some of the questions in the test you need to answer with one word or sentece.
Thorough lectures, short readings nearly every class for homework, easy to pass as long as you do the work.
She gets very into the lectures and it really allows you to get into the history and it helps everything come together and make sense.
She great at lectures and she really knows what shes talking about. Make sure you read online and book readings if not youll be lost. Make sure you do the test reviews they really help. Im glad I took her class !!
I've taken this professor twice an she's still awesome. She writes everything in an outline format on the board and the tests questions come from exactly what she writes. Reading quizzes are common, but she gives you a 70 for just your name so you really cant fail this class.
Professor Newhouse's lectures are really helpful and if you come to class everyday and read over the notes for the test you should be good. Make sure you do the homework readings because she has pop quizzes.
She is a great teacher. There is a lot of reading, but most of it is very interesting and not just textbook material. As long as you follow along during lectures and make sure you keep up with the readings you'll have a good time in her class.
She really enjoys teaching and you can tell. I don't personally like history, but she made it easy to pay attention. If you really just stayed focused and stay on top of your work and write her notes, you should succeed in this class. I thought she was funny too and she has a fun personality. I really recommend you take her class.
The best profesor I have ever had! There is a bit of reading but its short 1-2 page stories relating to what shes going to teach. Her tests are fill in the blank but those are easy if you do the review.
She really cares for all of her students and their success! It isnt a boring History class because she is able to make it so interesting and relatable. Definitely would take again!!
She is very cool and nice i liked her as a teacher and her way of teaching things
You can tell Dr. Newhouse has a passion for history. If you dont understand something just ask and shell perfectly explain it to you. She works with you if she sees youre trying but still struggling. Would definitely take again!
Great professor of all time and fun.
She is honestly the best professor I have ever had. She is very well organized and will answer any questions you may have. She goes slow and waits for you to write stuff down unlike others who will leave you behind. Highly recommend her.
very good notes, pretty self explanatory
She's very fun and outgoing, gives you opportunity to respond in class. Expects you to have done the readings for the day so that it can help you understand more what you're going to learn for that lecture. Always willing to help you with your assignments. Overall awesome teacher, if you do your work/ homework you will pass the class.
This class should be taken by those especially that find history as their weakness. She makes her lessons very easy to understand.
Professor Newhouse was a joy to have and an amazing person overall. Cant wait to take her again next semester. Yes its a lot of reading and notes but she makes it easy and understandable.
Amazing amazing professor! hands down one of the best professors I've ever had. Loved the lectures and the set up. Made it super easy to understand and the test are a breeze if you know the basics. Super funny and super organized. I recommend this professor to everyone (:
By far my favorite college professor that ive ever taken. She makes coming to class not feel like such a drag. The work is mandatory and theres no way around it, you have to read and put the work in to pass. She definitely does her part so its really all on the student. Shes super nice and charming and I will for sure take her class again.
Gives lots of partial credit on test, test are like her reviews. 2 book reviews3 pages long You have to do daily readings 3-10 pages usually, ocasional pop quiz over readings
I took Dr. Newhouse for Hist. 1301 and I can confidently say that I made the right decision. Her lectures are pretty straight forward and are a big portion of the tests so you must go to class. However the workload she gives out is not a ridiculous amount. Just simple reading quizzes, 2 book essays, and 3 tests. She is very enjoyable, recommended!
I really enjoyed taking this class.
One of the best history teacher I've ever had.
She was a great overall professor! She cares about her students when it comes to understanding the class.
Took Dr. Newhouse this past semester and she was great. She really cares about each of her students so if you reach out for help she will help you. You take important notes every class day so attendance is mandatory. There will be reading quizzes, 2 book essays, and 3 tests. But overall the class was very enjoyable! Would take her again!
She is one of the best history teachers!! There will be reading quizzes ( but they are so easy ), 3 test with the final and two essays about the books! If you really want to learn took Dr. Amynewhouse!!!
Professor Newhouse is a great professor. Her class was very enjoyable, she made her lectures very interesting and she is just a great person. She really gives you the notes, and resources needed to pass her class. She makes you work for your grade but she truly cares and wants to see you succeed.
She is a great professor, gives you everything you need to succeed! Gives great lectures and you can tell she loves when students participates. Write lectures on board so if you don't go to class it might be hard to catch up. Makes everything understandable using references to today's time.
She a great prof I would recommend taking her. Her class is an eye opener
Great professor shes very good at giving out information. Also a very helpful and good at explaining . I liked the lectures very much she make it not boring at all.
I liked her lectures and how she taught them. Very specific and clear during classes. Really cares for your education and if you are really learning in class. Gives extra credit. Very respectful and nice.
Professor Newhouse gives the most amazing lectures and she even writes exactly what you should be writing in your notes on the board so you never miss a thing. I will say though, if you struggle with remembering information or short answer tests are not your thing, then do not take her class. All of her quizzes and tests are short answer.
The lectures are very descriptive and if you take good notes youre set for the test! She gives extra credit which really helps if you want an a! Loves history and you can tel by the way she teaches.
shes a really nice professor coming to class is the important part. she gives really good feed back on papers and such
She requires you to read a bit, and she doesn't have multiple choice questions, but she grades fairly and she gives great lectures. Attendance isnt mandatory but if you want to pass you better show up.
Her class is amazing it does have a lot of reading and the lectures are in class so if you miss just have a friend to take notes for you. Her tests are comprehensive and are not multiple choice. But coming from someone who had a low B in 1301 with a powerpoint professor and literally knew nothing on multiple choice she is definitely worth taking.
She is a great teacher. Expect to do a decent amount of work a week. Overall I would reccommend her to anyone taking the class because she at least makes the lecture a little bit interesting.
nice teacher that encourages students to talk and ask questions about the subject matter and tries to relate issues of the past to so issues we have today.
She is amazing!! You are going to learn a lot, definitely take this class. Notes everyday so you need to show up. 2 major essays, 3 tests including final. She wants her students to learn history as a professor should so this class is an amazing class to actually learn about instead of just passing or getting the credit. Would take again!
Prof. Newhouse is a pretty cool teacher she teaches a very in depth class and cares if you actually know the material.
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing professor! She cares about her students. Just keep up with your reading for pop quizzes, lecture every day , 2 essays, and 3 tests. Would definitely take her class again!
Dr. Newhouse gives clear notes and instructions. There are not too many tests or essays. She is overall an easy grader and wants her students to be successful.
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing professor. She focuses heavily on lectures and out of class readings. Dr. Newhouse will go out of her make sure that you pass this class. Amazing professor.
She is just like any required classes you have to take, you are going to have to read 2 books and do book reports. She was lenient on grading a few times and sometimes does extra credit if you are desperate. Tests and exams are all hand written and be prepared to take notes every time you walk in class.
Honesty she is the best professor I've had. Her lectures are engaging and easy to follow. Use of the textbook a lot, but they're easy reads. Her tests are all short answer response/essay which made me nervous but it was easier. I took her 6-week course and she worked well under pressure. She's hilarious and so are her drawings...10/10 recommend.
My favorite teacher in college and made the transition from high school easier. She's so funny and she tells you right off the bat that the tests are over everything in the lectures, NOT the textbook. Very engaging with her students, and looked forward to every class. No other teacher I would recommend more than her. Just try and you'll be ok.
She an amazing and kind teacher. There are 3 tests, 2 book reading essays, and quizzes from a book. If you come to class, listen to her lectures, and follow the schedule, it's an easy A. Also, she gives extra credit and make sure if you are doing good in the class.
In this class you have to read a lot but overall she is great. She is kinda easy grader and give extra credit. If you need help on the tests or essays, just email her and then she will tutor you after class. There are a lot quizzes but it's all in the calendar that she gave you in the first day of class. I recommend that you guys should take her.
She is AWESOME!! Going to take her for 1302 as well!
Dr. Newhouse is such a good professor! The textbooks are HIGHLY recommended and she'll have pop quizzes on the readings but she grades them for participation for an extra boost. She organizes her notes very well. She doesn't believe in multiple choice tests but as long as you understand her lectures, it should be an easy B
Dr Newhouse is a very passionate professor. You can tell she really loves history! make sure you write good notes everything shes says will be on tests. Tests reviews are long and do not really help much. Overall she is a very good professor.
Dr. Newhouse is amazing. Her lecture is absolutely interesting. She explains things very well and easy to follow. Her class is not hard as long as you pay attention and do the review. She requires you to read, but the textbook can be found online. Her assignments are very straightforward, and easy. Her feedback is extremely helpful and relevant.
This class was actually fairly simple. The only thing I will say is do not skip the lecture, if you happen to be sick, get notes from a classmate. Tests are straight forward and literally come from the notes. Dr. Newhouse is really funny and her comments made my mornings. Definitely recommend. She's very caring and literally wants you to pass.
Great teacher who actually cares about her students, she makes her lectures interesting and easy to follow just pay attention to everything and do your notes.
In the beginning I struggled somewhat but DrNewhouse gives amazing lectures and the note taking is actually pretty fun -note taking everyday-gives a lot of extra credit and gives you opportunity to make up some assignments! Only 2 test throughout the semester! Highly recommend
Dr. Newhouse is very understanding towards her students. If a students happens to forget to submit a paper, she will still accept late work. Her activities are fun and majority will assign group projects. Would recommend her for anyone who is enrolling into History.
Shes a good professor and I enjoyed her lectures, because she writes It and interacts. Just wish her grading scale was a bit different
One of the best professors I ever had. Really passionate
I am really planning on taking the next class
study notes hard fort test not multiple choice read all of the readings show up to class there are pop quizzes
She really made me understand and like history. Super smart and has a real passion for the subject. didnt give a lot of homework, had 1 essay, a little bit of reading and a group project. Also im taking her next semester.
Shes is the most understanding professor Ive had. She also allows room to bring up your grade
Dr. Newhouse was wonderful. I didnt know squat about history... I would avoid any topic related to it but now I feel more confident speaking of it. Like when I tell you didnt know anything... I did not know anything. Shes made the way I see history so fun and exciting to talk about. I would take this class again if I could.
She was a very good teacher, very helpful, sometimes her views can feel a little forced, but she's very open to conversations concerning those views. Overall, she is someone I recommend.
Her lectures are pretty good but be prepared to hear about her political opinions. Other than that its a very easy class
Be sure to be in class to take notes. The notes are simplified and in outline format, so it is easier to understand. She gives a review for each test, and they are 85% accurate of what is on the test. The other 15% comes from very short weekly readings.
The test are pretty difficult, with no multiple choice and all free response. However, this class is worth the take. Dr. Newhouse gives a very intriguing perspective on history, and is very inspiring. Her lectures are incredible with a side of humor!
A great professor shes funny so it makes lectures more fun and they are really easy to follow along with 10/10 recommend
shes really proactive with her students, and is passionate when teaching
Dr. Newhouse is a pretty good professor. Shes nice and easy to understand but her tests were pretty hard since they are not multiple choice. Shes a tough grader but overall i had a decent experience in her class.
You would love taking her!
She's amazing! Her tests are specific to her lectures, so you really do have to pay attention, but other than that she is willing to help you understand the lecture.
Readily replies to emails, accommodating (esp during Covid), wants students to learn, doesnt enforce the textbook (but there is another historical book that will be assigned for an essay), teaches with bias but not bothersome. The class is organized with hour long video lectures, daily short quiz (some with written questions), an essay, two tests
Great professor! Recommended by a friend. Passionate about her course. She tries to relate the lessons to us, students to give us a better understanding. Since it was online due to COVID, it was still easy to manage and keep up with this class. Lectures are long and in depth. NO cheating because she words thing differently to avoid that.
Follow the notes she provides & quizzes are OK. She split the work into daily chunks in the syllabus that made everything much more manageable, but you can work at your own pace as long as quizzes & discussions are done by due dates. Great about answering emails quickly. Lectures are videoed & she relates to current events. 1 essay & 2 tests also.
Great Prof. She was accommodating during Covid and related history to current events. The pacing was manageable and she wants you to learn. If you listen to lectures and do the assignments, you should be fine.
great prof, be ready to read and listen to long lectures.
I took her online 6 weeks class for 1301. There are video lectures almost daily, but her side of humor and passion in teaching history made it bearable and enjoyable to watch and learn. One major reflective essay along with two tests (with written components) and minor discussions and daily quizzes. If you watch her lectures you should be fine!
Took both her classes 1301 and 1302! Her lectures are engaging and she actually cares about her students success. Her teaching style helps you connect with the material and actually remember it outside the classroom and long after you've taken her class. Would strongly suggest you take her class for 1301 and 1302
Amazing class! I never liked history but Dr. Newhouse is very fun and caring professor. I took her online class because of Corona, but her class is easy if you can manage your time. 10/10 would take again. Simple notes and simple homework. Take her class, you won't regret it!
Professor Newhouse makes an awesome detailed syllabus, and her content tab was easy to navigate through. She responds to emails quickly. She is great. You won't feel lost. You cant google your way through but her online lecture videos and notes give you the answers to the quizzes. Super short & easy quizzes. Take her (:
The class was a standard amount of work. There were heavy lectures and readings as well as quizzes for each topic. The quizzes are not hard if you go over your notes and watch the lectures. The exams were fairly similar to the quizzes. Dr. Newhouse is very funny and quirky and I really enjoyed learning from her. She is also very understanding.
Great professor and the lectures were perfect. I would take again if I could
great professor overall, clear on instructions. gives detailed grading, though this class was moved to online due to COVID I bet she's better in person. online was made up of video lectures and very short quizzes over every topic.
I took a six week course I am not use to online classes ,but Dr. Newman made it interesting ,caring, hilarious and would use real characters to explain the lessons and it was very well played. Definitely if it wouldn't been the way she teaches her lessons, no way I would passed with an A!
It was a fun class to take.
I thought she was great and she was understanding. When I emailed her a question she got back to me right away. She understood that we have personal problems and she gave us a lot of time to complete the assignments.
Her lecture notes are very helpful especially if you cant focus during her lectures. Quizzes arent that hard but most are timed so if you get anxiety I do not recommend it. I only had trouble with about 25% of her quizzes. If you are the type of student to ask a lot of questions do not take her! She seems to get annoyed by that.
She is one of the most caring teachers. She understands that we all have personal lives and she works with you. Do the work and read her lectures and the class will not be a struggle. She makes the test based on her lesson so its best to study her notes. Would highly recommend her.
Amy is literally the best professor for hist. I took her summer hist1301 summer course and it was an easy breeze. I am not a big fan of history but now i have a definite clearer understanding.
Online format is great everything you need is provided from lecture notes, videos, power points etc. The books are an easy read and are super short only read about 10 pages a section.
loved her! for you online covid people her class is not a google class. Just use her notes its all in there.
The online format of this class was amazing. Everything was so well organized and told you specifically what notes to look at, what textbook pages to read, and what videos to watch for each quiz. I am not the best a history classes but this was a super easy class to take. She's an amazing professor!
Amazing professor makes great little videos about the topic.
great professor. would recommend her also super organized.
Depending on what time you email Dr. Newhouse; she sometimes took a while to respond back, other than that; as long as you participate and turn in all assignments, and you read the notes carefully, you will be successful on the quizzes and the whole class in general.
Great teacher! Wish I took her class in person... Would love to take her again.
i LOVED Dr. Newhouse! history is not my strongest subject whatsoever, but i succeeded in this class because of her! she keeps lectures interesting! there's many assignments so you are able to pick up your grade if you don't do too well on one or two. i couldn't recommend taking her course any more! she's great and makes lectures relatable.
I havent finished her class yet but shes honestly a queen. Im taking her online classes due to covid and its so easy. her lecture videos are always interesting and the quizzes are extremely easy. Id for sure take her class again.
She grades as if she is a English teacher. Very specific. 4 papers and quizzes every week. You will have work due on every Tuesday and every Thursday. She's a nice person just to detailed to be a History teacher in my opinion.
She has been the best professor I have taken online. She makes online lectures that really help you understand the material. There is an essay outline, and one essay, but the grading criteria is clear and she provides great feedback. I'm sad I didn't get to take her in-person, but I am definitely taking her for 1302.
She posts online lectures and notes that help you understand the material. There are two projects (essays), short quizzes every week, and sometimes discussion quizzes. She's a great teacher I would recommend taking her!
Dr. Newhouse's class was well organized and easy to follow. This class is lecture heavy, but the online lectures are interesting and keep you engaged. I highly recommend taking her class.
Dr. Newhouse seeks to educate as well as entertain. Her lecture are thorough, but with a hint of comedy. She has a lot of graded material, but if you listen to the lectures you'll be fine. I would advise anyone who takes this class to get a head-start on the book you'll have to write a paper on, so you won't have to cram at the last minute.
Professor Newhouse is amazing! Her lectures are super engaging and you always know what to expect on your quizzes, 2 tests, and 2 essays. However, there are a lot of lecture videos and writing to get done over the semester so if that isnt for you I would suggest looking elsewhere. I really enjoyed the class and Im taking her again next semester!
Take Dr. Newhouse. Not only is she a good professor, but she is a brilliant human being. Her lectures are incredibly engaging, she is funny, entertaining, and relatable. Even though this was an online class, I felt like I got to know her. She responds quickly to emails, and she's truly passionate about history. She was so helpful during 2020.
A great professor overall, she lays out everything for you to do from the start and suggests textbooks but does not require them. In addition, she grades easily and gives good accurate feedback, overall a professor I would take again!
This was my second and last history class at college and she was definitely my favorite of the 2. Lectures are very detailed and cover a lot, as well as the notes. Always willing to help and discuss the course.
I enjoyed the video lectures.I did not do much reading other than the book required for the Major Essay.I read some reviews that said that her tests were extremely difficult. (Not true at all).If you watched her video weekly you will do well.(Do not expect to google and find answers for the test). Tests are logical and no need to memorize the book.
She's one of the best professors I have ever taken. She really cares about the student and gives the opportunity for extra credit and make up work.
I took professor Newhouse's online Hist1301 class. She is very knowledgeable and bubbly. Her coursework is open all semester and every topic has a video lecture. For major exams and essays, she is a tough grader, but she will also give you feedback on how you can improve. You can tell she wants you to succeed in her class and other classes.
Dr. Newhouse is honestly a great teacher especially since the pandemic most classes are online. She did a great job having lectures and notes for every chapter which made it very easier to follow along and study for exams. She does offer extra credit and final was nice. Overall I would take her class if you want to to learn some cool things.
She made the lectures really fun and gave her own spin on things that we have already learned in history. The class was fairly easy just do your work and you will pass.
Amy Newhouse is my favorite professor! Shes very organized, and helpful. I absolutely loved the way she taught.
She is a great professor and she makes sure that you understand the material. Her lectures are not boring and always makes it fun. Highly recommend her :)
Dr. Newhouse is the most organized professor I have ever encountered at LSC. I took her online lecture for fall semester and everything is all organized in a format where you can just click as you go. She had quizzes due every Tuesday and Thursday, usually pretty easy and would warn you if hard. She made this class really easy to follow and fun!
clear expectations. Alot of work but if you keep up you will be fine. gives great lectures and answers questions quickly. She allows you to make up work if you need to. Great professor I would take her again.
Professor Newhouse was great. She made this online class a breeze for me. As long as you review the notes she provides and the readings from the books you will pass. All the answers to the tests and quizzes are in her notes, which are super clear and straight forward. She also uploads lecture videos as well to further review and go over her notes.
Very respectful and awesome professor. Gives great feedback on your essay to improve your writing. Will answer questions you have about any assignments or any questions in general about the course.
I loved having Professor Newhouse. However, the course is heavily reliant on her lectures, as the assignments are based on what she talks about, not on what you would find online or in the book. overall I enjoyed having her as a professor, I 100% recommend her if you're doing online.
Dr. Newhouse is a very detailed and organized professor. I took her online History and found her setup very easy to follow. Expect a lesson quiz each week. They're really easy and she provides lecture videos and notes for each quiz. Likewise all three of her quizzes were a breeze. you can finesse without the book but you may want it.
If you enroll in her class be prepared and make sure you have enough time to watch her lecture videos and time to read the material especially for the essays. YOU HAVE TO READ. She even clearly states that in her introduction. She wants to make sure you actually know what you're talking about and understanding the material.
I took professor Newhouse in my online history course. She gave us the opportunity of an easy A final. Her lectures were always entertaining, the notes were already there so you can just print them out, good power points. Overall she was an excellent professor and I truly enjoyed her class, I hated history before I took professors Newhouse class.
Great professor! Would definitely take her again.
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor and I would recommend her to anyone that needs to take a history class. For each lecture she provided videos in which she gave little details that can help you with the tests or quizzes. She had notes and a quiz that was pretty easy. You must dedicate some time to her class in order to get a good grade.
I loved taking her class! Her lectures are engaging, funny and not boring at all. You do have to read a lot for an essay but after, she provides great feedback to improve. I loved how she was very organized and detailed with all lectures/assignments. Shes always open to answer any questions or concerns you have!
I liked her class so much! I just didnt like that all her due dates are at 7:59 I just think it should be all be at 12. Shes super nice and she cares about her students.
Professor Newhouse is an amazing professor. I have never been one to like history but her lecture videos were actually really interesting and funny. She also has a very organized assignment schedule with 1 to 2 quizzes a week. Only 2 essays throughout the semester, one you have to read a short book for. Definitely taking her class again for 1302.
If you want interesting lectures and want a good understanding of what is going on in the class, take Dr. Newhouse for History 1301. She makes lecture videos and they are never boring to watch especially because she has a sense of humor. I wish I could take her for History again.
Dr. Newhouse was an amazing teacher. She was very understanding and willing to give multiple extra. credit opps. I would highly reccomend her classs.
She is very lenient with assignments. She is sort of strict when grading papers.
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing proffessor who cares for her students and has a great sense of humor.
Great professor, am going to taker her class for 1302
She gives great feedback and gives you chances to improve your grade. She cares about her students and her lectures are very understanding.
Professor Newhouse is an amazing teacher I would totally take her again. Any time you have a question email her! She answers fast!! She post lecture videos for each chapter it is up to you if you want to watch them. Personally I think it was really helpful. You have 2 test and 1 final in total you have 3 test. And have two major essays.
She's a great choice especially for an online history class. She accepts late major assignments, but late work penalty applies, due to COVID, she took less points off. She provides easy/concise notes, and long video lectures. She replies to emails in timely manner, and she's a fair grader. Lastly, you have to work in this class.
Professor Newhouse is a great professor overall. Extremely clear with assignments and very doable even with a work schedule. Newhouse was very helpful, especially through the tough Covid times. Love her way of teaching, I 100% recommend her.
Professor Newhouse is very considerate about her students. There is not a lot of work, just weekly quizzes that are based off of her lectures (she posts her notes too in case you can not watch her lectures). She is not a tough grader at all and gives good advice on what to work on for your essays. There are two very easy tests too!
Her class was very helpful she posted videos about each lecture we had to go through. Her feed back was very helpful and I really liked how she was so organized and she follows her syllabus and if she makes any changes she will tell us I definitely recommend her class.
Great professor, she's very understanding and cares to make sure you pass. lots of quizzes, but they are super straightforward and line up perfectly with notes. There is clear dates for when things need to get done, but if you have personal issues going on she will let you turn in late (but will take points off). She is sweet and a great Proffessor
I wish I would have taken her for 1301. She's incredibly knowledgable and doesn't let her personal feelings get in the way of teaching the facts. She really made the lectures memorable which made it easy to do the work. I personally preferred her online class over my others, it really helped me keep up with my work and not procrastinate. Love her!
she bring enjoy to this curse, makes everything easier and she cares about you how well you doing in the class, She's incredibly knowledgable and her class is not difficult. 10/10.
Great professor overall, she's clear about assignments and when they are due. She has great lecture videos that cover the topics perfectly. I took her online classes this semester and would recommend her class.
Dr. Newhouse is a great professor. She cares for her students and responds to e-mails in a reasonable time. She offers a lot of material to get a good understanding of the topic. Make sure to stay on top of the quizzes and review the notes for every chapter. This class is not hard as long as you stay on top of your work, it's not a blow off class.
DO NOT TAKE HER...I'm kidding but Professor Newhouse is very lenient and expects you to do your best since you are a college student and not a high school. And all you need to do in her class is read and follow her instructions and you'll pass
Took her for both history one in class and second one online needless to say amazing in both forms. Will recommend friends to her !!
Prof. Newhouse made HIST1301 so much easier, and plus she is so relatable and funny during her lecture videos! People are often boring when lecturing, but she makes it to where it is fun and relatable! I really wish she taught HIST1302 online, but she does not. Take her for HIST1301 and you will not regret it. Be organized and you will get an A/B!
Horrible professor, way too much homework and other reviews are fake! I took Accounting and this and this class was more work and she drops you a grade letter for something petty. Also she acts nice before drop date and doesn't care about the students
Horrible tough grader and a lot of weekly homework and reading a lot...
she is too much and does not care about her students. She is an unfair grader too. She makes you read two big books along with your txt book.
Dr. Newhouse made history an interesting subject to learn. Her lectures are clear, informational, and she teaches in a way that helps you remember the information the moment it comes out of her mouth. Her quizzes/tests are very similar to reviews. Assignments are not heavy either. She's also a nice person in general. I def recommend taking her.
This professor provides video lectures that are both funny and interesting! I really enjoyed her class which is something because I'm not a fan of history. She always responds promptly and provides extra credit. Watch her lecture videos and you'll be fine!
Dr. Newhouse is an amazing professor, she truly cares about each one of her students, lectures are GREAT, she is well-spoken and she goes out of her way to help on assignments. Focus during lectures it will help so much for exams. Attendance = weekly quiz grade, 2 test w/essays, 1 research paper, book project, in-class quiz, final essay and test.
I enjoyed watching her lectures as she was entertaining and explained everything well. There was one essay over a book and one or two quizzes each week that were usually easy and only a few questions. The deadline for assignments was at 7:59 pm which is a little random but doable.
You show up, you get credit. If you don't show up, you take a quiz to get credit. Easy 100's. Yes, you do read two books, but probably equal to 100 pages all together. Do not be afraid of the low reviews. If you want to cheat or have an easy teacher, don't go to college. But as far as college professors go, Dr. Newhouse is awesome.
The best history teacher ever. You will not regret taking her class; she is super helpful funny, and understanding. She knows exactly what she is doing and even though her assignments can take a while, she gives you plenty of time, help, and resources. I encourage you to take her classes; I am taking her for 1302 and I am excited 10/10.
there is a lot of essays and reading and she is not helpful. she yaps a lot. be prepared to be overworked and bored to death. also, docks a lot of points for random things.
If you complain about the amount of reading or essays in this class, you may not be ready for college. Dr. D is very kind and tries her best to keep her class engaged. I am a working mom and I'm taking this class in the summer (mini) this class is a piece of cake if you do the SHORT readings, listed to the music and keep your notes organized.
Professor Newhouse's HIST1301 class is a mixed bag - some love her engaging lectures and teaching style, while others find the workload overwhelming. Using unstuckstudy ai alongside the textbook can help ace this class.
The best professor at Lone Star. Dr. Newhouse is a skilled and entertaining lecturer. Her classes are so fun to be a part of. The tests are easy and the essays are honestly fun to write because she puts interesting readings together for you. I wish I could've taken more classes with her. Dr. Househouse genuinely cares about each student.
Dr. Newhouse is easily my favorite professor. She is passionate and easy to work with. I love how organized the made the class. It made everything feel simple instead of overwhelming and messy!
She is very whole hearted and honest. Participation matters a lot, and she gives a bunch of opportunities for extra credit and its almost impossible to fail her class unless if you don't show up or do any of the homework she assigns.
She is very nice and very attentive, seems like she cares about her students
Her lectures were always super clear and easy to follow, which made staying on track really simple. She explains things in a way that just makes sense, and she keeps the class interesting without making it overwhelming. I always felt like I was actually learning, not just cramming. Easily one of the best professors I've had!
Amazing professor and an easy grader
Really nice teacher nothing about this class is dificult
Wonderful teacher class was really easy and gave fun and entertaining lectures 10/10 would take again
Dr. Newhouse it's very inspirational since she knows her content and tries to conected it with problems in the the world and America today which is very helpful. She lets you submit late work until the very lat day of class . She was overall an amazing professor.
The professor was great with the organization of material. The textbook is free as long as you print it at home. Towards the end of the semester, plenty of extra credit was offered and allowed to submit late work. Great Professor!
Dr. Newhouse is an excellent teacher. You are not going to like her if you want to do the bare minimum or use chat GPT. She does a lot of helping and handholding for students but will also expect you to do your part. The classes are almost entirely lecture but it is not boring and she relates history to stuff today.
I would definitely take this class again if I had time.
one of the best professors/ teachers i've ever had
Amazing professor! Very engaging and gives everyone the opportunity to participate.
Took her for two semesters and have never been more engaged to learn about history. She has very interesting lectures and explains everything really well. As long as you do your work and take notes, this will feel easy for you!
Professor Newhouse is amazing her energy and her way of teaching really helped, during her lectures. she gives good feedback if you need any help.
she's very involved in making sure the classroom feels comfortable and interesting, there will be some pop quizzes but she's very informative about it beforehand. as long as you give it your best and request for feedback if necessary, she's always up for it.
