She's an ok teacher, you can tell she really enjoys history. This class is all about notes. All of the exams are based on her lectures, so if you can't or don't take notes..don't take her! There arent many assignments and 1 research paper, if you study your notes for the exams you'll do ok.

Mrs. Oliver is a wonderful teacher. She is precise in her notes and the work is so easy. Although it may move a little fast just go to her review sessions and you will easily pass her midterm and final. As long as you participate in class and not sleep, study or talk you will get an "A'' in her class

I'm not use to Mrs. Oliver teaching style.She teaches from power point which makes it hard to stay on track because the material she shows on the power point is only the basis of the topic which is not enough information to study from for exams.You really got to pick the book and read it in order to actually "get" the information. She's ok though.

I love her so much! She uses powerpoint as an outline to her discussions which makes taking notes very easy. She has a mid term and a final everything else is just portfolio assignments which she gives ample time to complete. She's funny and relates history to her students so they won't get bored. She's helpful and down to earth. Easy peasy!

I really enjoy Mrs. Oliver's teaching style. If you download the notes from Blackboard you have the basics. Using those notes you MUST take your own notes on in class lecture. The downfall in her class would have to be the group project (35% of your FINAL GRADE). Most likely you will be paired with people who won't work. "That's Life!" =(

MRs. Oliver sometimes gets a bit to carried away in her discussions but sometimes her enthusiasm for a topic can be a bit funny. After a while they become repetitive and boring though. We had a quize everyday that we met and if you are 5 or more minutes late you are marked absent b/c she uses the quizes as attendence.And the quizes are 5 min. long!

She is okay, but she should be teaching African American History instead of plain American History, as that is her main focus for the course. I received 95's or higher on all the tests, but you do have to study. Her study guides are explicit so it's easy. 3 tests total, dont need the textbook, I would recommend her.

She is an ok teacher. She honestly should be teaching african american history because she really focuses on that part of it. You do need to study but she gives you study guides. The best advice is to print out the study guides right when she puts them up and take notes from that. Don't worry about all the other stuff she talks about. OK teacher?!

Her class was easy but there was a lot of useless material she made you study ex on one exam she had 50 terms to memorize and she said she waould put 10! on the test. oh yea and half of the 50 terms we never went over in class.

Good teacher but hard. I took her online and we had to read the entire book because there is no study guide. Her lectures consist of bullets and PowerPoints she uses in her live classes which are not much help. She makes up for it by giving retakes on tests and the quizes somewhat let you know what will be on the tests. Open Book & Note Final

Honestly, she is too much for me. She teaches by screaming. The class actually jumps when she teaches sometimes. She might be the only professor to drop if you miss 3 classes. But she is too bias in everything you teach. If you have an opinion about something? keep it too your self. She'll just try to prove you wrong and tell you you're wrong. Bad.

She is the easiest a I ever gone. I made an 20 on the first exam because I didn't watch the lecture video and take notes. Her exams are hit or miss! Ten words and you have to write 2-3 about the word. Also there's essay questions like one or two worth 50 points. Made all 100 on the other exam made an 95 in the class

Dr. Oliver is an amazing professor. It was a PRIVILEGE to be in her class. She keeps it real. She teaches you what is in the book, but understands that the book does not always account for "real life" situations that a teacher may face in the classroom. Every TCC student majoring in education NEEDS to be in her class.

There are Discussion Boards, Website Assignments, and a Website Analysis paper. The 4 tests that I took were easy, but you had to work for them. She gives out study guides and they're self-explanatory. Don't listen to the other people who rated her low, they're the ones who don't like to work for their grade. Other than that, I highly recommend her

Dr. Oliver is really laid back but you have to be engaged in the discussions (several) to keep up. Be prepared to read the chapters in the book otherwise you will not do well on the exams and quizzes. You have to study with understanding of the material because she may throw a curve ball when its time for the exam. Only had 3 exams and 4 quizzes.
