Mrs. Ward was able to answer pretty much every question asked. She does a lot of power points, but it is necessary to listen and take notes to pass the tests. She normally has a bonus question on the tests that are fun/easy points. Very good teacher.

Ms. Ward is the best teacher I've had at CTC so far, its a shame they don't hire more teachers like Ms. Ward because she's definitely in a class of her own. I took the class online and she was very quick to respond to questions. If you read the chapters and pay close attention to her lecture slides, you will pass the class..:o)

I never liked history; I always thought it was boring, but Mrs. Ward changed that. Mrs. Ward's class was so awesome, and she makes it so easy to take notes--and believe me, note taking IS key here--I did great on the exams, so her system works!

Super passionate about what she teaches and it shows. I'm not good at history but when she teaches, it's interesting. Tests, textbook quizzes (using the textbook), 3 pop quizzes, and 1 easy partner project make your grade w/ no extra credit. She tells you exactly what to study for on tests and pop quizzes are open note- 2-3 classes before tests

She's a really great professor, you need to get her if you can. Every answer to every question to every assignment can be found where she says. She always makes sure you're prepared. She's probably be the single-fastest grader I've ever had and she has a great sense of humor for bonus points.

Mrs. Ward is a very enthusiastic professor. If you use all of the information she gives you such as notes, the index for the textbook, and your source study guides you will pass. Make sure to study for exams because they are a huge portion of your grade. the rest of the quizzes are pretty much open notes.

She is literally the nicest person ever. She will make time for you if you struggle. We dont have any HW but she provides amazing lectures and videos that make lecture quizzes easy. The book quizzes are always open book. I like that you can write in your reply for most of the quizzes bc shes super lenient. This class is so easy. Take it!!!

Well, I'm sure Prof. Ward is a nice lady, however, this class is not for you if you procrastinate. There's 3 units, 12 assign., 3 quizzes, and 1 test for each unit. 1 quiz and the test is locked browser. No extra credit, but if you don't do your part, why would you do e.c.? Just study, and if you don't wanna do that then pick another teacher.

I personally did not enjoy this class. This class is NOT for you if you procrastinate or do not like history. 4-6 weeks' worth of information is broken down into three difficult, 10 question quizzes and a lockdown browser test. Your grade reflects your work ethic so if you need this class to be easy, choose someone else.

Ms. Ward has many lectures but they are concise! She clearly laid out the course for us, and never gave any unnecessary readings or assignments. You will have to read quite a bit, but its spaced out weekly. Youre given plenty of time to study in advance for all the tests. Truly a great teacher for online classes.

Pretty straight forward and to the point. 3 quizes and one test per unit so there isnt a lot of grades. will not excuse you for missed tests even if you have an excuse though.

Professor Ward is very nice and clearly cares about her students, but the class itself is extremely difficult, especially if history isn't your strong suite. I struggled with this class from the beginning. I have always been an all-A student but currently have a C in the class. If you reach out for help she responds quickly and is very sweet.

My favorite history teacher ever. Her outlines for the test come straight from her lectures. She really made the class easy to understand and I learned so much from her. I would love to take every history class like this.

Mrs ward is an okay teacher, I missed a test because of an emergancy and I was not excused from It. She will not excuse you if you miss anything and she does not give you any extra credit. Her test are difficult even if you listen to the lectures. She requires lockdown browser and web cam. she post all the work and grades very fast.

She only has 15 assignments over the whole course. DO NOT JOIN if you don't do well in a test setting. I've noticed from other classmates that she doesn't give second chances very often, so if you mess up, that's too bad. The quizzes are short and easy to fail. But she was very kind when she did end up responding to a question.

(asynchronous online) She is very clear that she gives no extensions or leniency. You have to read 1-5 chapters of the textbook every week and there was only 12 assignments for the entire class. Do not take this class if you do not test well or struggle with time management.

Amy provides a lot of video's and slides so you don't have to really read the text book. She has only 2 discussions and her test are not too bad, but it's like 11 of them and they are between 10 to 25 questions each and 6 require respondus with camera on. No final exam in her class.

The teacher was great. I got a 90. Each unit (3 units) had a discussion board, video quiz, lecture note quiz, textbook quiz, and exam all due the same day. Her lectures were great, but not much of it was on the tests. She's great for online classes, but if you struggle with organization and deadlines pick someone else. A lot is due at once.

This was a pretty good class so far, the exams are a little harder just make sure to know the behind story of the material. , just study and read and watch the lectures 2x each and you will be fine. But if you get a B in this class, be proud of yourself, its tough
