This is a class that undoubtedly requires hours of studying. She makes you buy a packet along with her book that has chapter notes that you turn in right before class. It's extra credit and very important if you'd like to pass. Her quizzes were easy to study for and her tests were pretty tough. She's interesting but also why I don't like history.

Being a history major,Professor Negus was awesome. I was a working student, so her system hard to adjust too, but I quickly adapted to taking notes within her pre-printed study guides(which can be used during exams) and read the book with the aim of being able to answer essay questions. If you love history, you will love this class.

Negus is not organized. You don't really have to take notes since she gives note handouts but they are hard to read & aren't structured. She talks a lot & may even go off topic at times.
