Mrs. Wiedderecht was a wonderful teacher but expects you to preform college level work and no excuses. Keen on participation and reading the material. Has quick quizes and the required reading. Nice person.

Great teacher!!! Really enjoyed this class. Expect to work hard for good grades and participation will most likely be expected but she never makes one feel bad for a wrong answer. Highly recommended if you really want to learn!

she is an ok teacher. very borring lecture, but all around decent teacher. lots of hard work, and the text book sux really bad because of all the required reading.

It was hard for me to get an "A" in her class cuz we read a couple chapters, then got quizzed on it before we were lectured on it. I guess that was her way of making sure we read. I need a lecture before I'm tested. Nice lady, though.

You have to be prepared for this class. Do the readings, study for the tests, and complete the papers. Two out of the four tests are in groups, and you get to take some quizzes with partners. Only take this class if you want to learn and don't take it if you're looking for an easy class.

She was so smart and gave awesome lectures. She helped thoroughly with questions that students had and is a nice lady.

when you talk about a hard class this one would come up in the subject. Ok i did all the extra credit did better than most on the tests and my buddy and i got up and sang a song with our guitars infront of the whole class for extra credit and we still only got a B and not to mention we talked alot in the class and i think i only missed 2 classes

Tough class, but fascinating. I thought she was a fine teacher. Calling her boring may just be confusing the subject matter with the teacher if you don't want to do the work and keep up.

The class was a lot more work than a lot of the other classes I have taken. The teacher is knowlegeable but can be very boring and not the most personable person in the world.

She is so fantastic!!! Anyone who whines about how difficult her class is may not be prepared for college. She is a true college professor and doesn't feel the need to have to hold your hand and tell you every answer. She is an extremely interesting lecturer and is very knowledgable. She will help you and empower you to reach your full potential.

Boring and a lot of work. I did well but it took a lot. Weekly quizzes, papers, an group project. Eh, she didn't get my interest.

She is a very good teacher. She involves students in lectures daily and is always willing to make time for questions if not in class the she will schedule an appt. The only thing is she does require alot of reading and homework. Weekly essays, weekly assessments, weekly analyic questions, 15 pg. research paper and two tests.

every one seems to think shes a bad teacher, but shes not, she was extremely helpful and very smart. shes a great history teacher, and of course the class is going to be hard, its history, come on people

i think her class is very involved, but she is truely a great teacher. i loved her, shes always willing to help, all you got to do is ask!

Anne is a normal teacher. She isn't incredibly exciting or energetic. She speaks in a low intensity voice which at times can become uninteresting. She often breaks up the class into groups for projects and demands interaction from her students. At best I would say that she is an average teacher.

This teacher is a toughie. You really need to pay attention to the syllabus and do exactly what it says. She is one of those teachers that wants you to write what she thinks. Learn her style for writing and you'll get an A. This class was probably the most difficult class I have ever taken. Take this class at your own risk.

I think that Wiederrecht is a nice teacher. This is my first real college class (I took AP in high school) and I expected a super mean teacher, but she is SO nice. I like her alot. Really, as long as you read and study, you're totally fine. My English teacher in high school was stiff like her, so I'm used to the grammar and margins. Its not that ba

If she is (debatably) dry, she is also totally up-front about EVERYTHING expected of her students. Read the syllabus, do the essays, attend class prior to the test for the essay questions you will need to cover, study for the tests and you will ace her class. Also, spot the other students pulling their weight for the group test options.

This is an ok class. She lectures to her hearts content and only sometimes involves the students. On top of that, the lecture is pretty dry and not all that entertaining. That being said, I'm still a history major. She won't turn you off the subject but she does make history seem like that super boring class from the movies.

Excruciatingly boring and ridiculously difficult class. When I registered for B1 and read the course description I was ecstatic. But she made history truly "a thing of the past." No joke. She grades awkwardly, I am a great writer but she makes it seem like I'm not. Way too much reading, hard ass tests and boring lectures. I got an A but dunno how.

very easy very boring. the material is interesting so hopefully that will keep you from killing yourself.

I took Ann a few semesters ago, and after reading some of these reviews I felt I needed to defend my old prof. Ann is a wonderfully knowledgeable history professor who attended an excellent college (Smith), and while her style may perhaps be a bit on the dry side, she is a veritable fount of knowledge. I learned a lot in this class and recommend it

Very Very hard teacher. I like history but this teacher is very boring. Yes she knows her stuff, she is very smart in this subject, but again very boring. It is hard to stay awake. Take good notes for the quizes remember names. For her test she will give you about 5 possible questions for each chapter and about 5 chapters per test, very hard!!!

I'm a history major, and I've taken two of her classes. Be prepared, people, you will have to work for an A in her class. I worked VERY hard to receive two B's, BUT I know why I didn't get A's. You must do EVERY assignment, including all 4 tests, plus the substitute for a test. On the bright side, I honestly learned the material.

Hardest teahcer i've ever had at BC. She is nice, but her class is no joke!

I have never read so much garbage. This is college, people! Anne was a great teacher. If you attempted to actually study and do the work, you would have done fine. If you really want to learn, I would highly recommend her class. If you are looking to skate...go take a pottery course.

this is a very hard class! I do promise though when your done you will have a clear understanding of the time period. Dont take a full load when you take this class. I take 20 pages of notes per chapter.

Very hard class.You read the chaper(60pg.long) Take a quiz and then after the quiz, she talks about the chp. weekly quiz. 2 major papers, 4 test no notes, 15 quizes notes allowed but it takes like 20 pages of note even cover the chp. Great teacher though. Would not recommed this class on a full load

I always thought I would hate History but after taking one of her classes I can't wait to take another!! Great Teacher! I worked HARD HARD but LOVED LOVED it!! If you are in college to learn this is the class for you!

Ann is kind-hearted but she isn't easy. She is exactly what a college professor should be. Firm, Kind and informed. If you are looking for an easy A this isn't a class for you. You will have to do work daily and read thoroughly. If you follow her syllabus you will pass the class. If you are interested in history and want to learn Take Ann.

super hard class.lots of reading,notes, essays, sleepless nites, 10 pgs of notes 4 a quiz should be good. about 30 for a test. 12 essay questions for every test and only 4 of 12 will be on test so study all of them and each essay answer is 4-5 paragraphs long. notes on quiz allowed but not on test. prepared me for college pretty much Great teacher

Outstanding teacher, I highly recommend taking one of her courses if you intend to learn the material covered. Every page in the textbook will be covered, and she requires you to not ANALYZE and actually think about what you are learning. Not for the faint of heart or for someone looking for an easy A. So far Ann is my favorite teacher here at BC

Ann expects what the world outside of BC and K-12, excellence and your best effort. Life isn't easy, and when we get professional jobs people won't jump for joy over our mediocrity. It takes effort, excellence, and character to standout today. She's not being harsh on us; she's treating us with the respect and expectation that will lead us to win.

She is a hard teacher! However very straight forward and lectures on what is on the exams. Loved her and her class! Would take another class with her.

Everything on the quizzes, tests, geo. and essays is in the book. Read all of it. Try not to study every single line; you will go mad. Take serious, succinct notes on each ch. She is a very nice teacher that can help you see diff points of view but don't hold your breath trying to write everything from lecture. Tough at first. Persevere. Good Luck

In the beginning ASK her what she is looking for on her test this will remove a LOT of pain later. Her test mostly revolve around essay questions10-15 paragraphs per main test depending on the number of chapters covered. Chapter quizzes are weekly are are strictly vocab and geography. Two papers mandatory (6-8 pg ea) along with two group projects.

She's a fantastic instructor who, as you will be able to tell, really enjoys the subject matter. Her tests are intense, and she expects detail, but if you read diligently you will pass every time. The text we had was interesting. There are videos, group projects, quizzes and lectures, but it never feels stale. After 16 weeks I wasn't bored once.

Wish I had known about this site before enrolling....

I've had her as a professor in the past. She means well & she's willing to help you, but her teaching style & what she expects are a lot more suitable for those that are history majors. If you want to become a historian, then she would be good for you.

The class is pretty easy if you are good at taking quizzes. Her lectures are completely useless but each class starts with a quiz that you are allowed to use your notes on. You do two analytical papers grading seems fair. 3 tests. 2group projects

Completely straight forward. Quiz for each chapter and you can use your notes. 3 lowest quizzes dropped 2 analytical papers that dont require outside research 3 tests, with the lowest of the first 2 dropped. Particpation final. Essentially free 10% Some misc. Points If you read/take notes you will pass. The class is dry but very straightforward

Prof. W's class is very reading and lecture heavy, so if you don't read the chapter/pay attention to lectures very well, you're going to have a hard time. Her quizzes/tests aren't anything unexpected because it's all vocabulary memorization. If you can't handle lectures or writing essays, I wouldn't rec this class.

Very nice person but very strict. She is old school in the way she teaches. Test are very hard and the essays are very hard as well. I'm an A student and this was probably one of the hardest classes I have worked for. It felt like 3 classes in one. Very very difficult. If you are not a dedicated student don't take her class. She knows her stuff!

This class felt like an actual college class. She is old-fashion but if you work for it you'll pass.
