Ms. Farring is a pretty good teacher who lectures a lot. The lectures are not boring but she gives the official version of history. you don't learn anything new or interestin. I took her during the summer,less material. Very attractive woman.

Farrington is always punctual and present for class. She is challenging, yet fair. She shows videos, but always tests on their content. She provides comprehensive study guides, so if you don't do well or can't keep up,you have no one to blame but yourself

If you are asking for a challenge take Farrington. Students are left to teach themselves, she barely lectures. Instead she shows videos. Very unorganized. Second half of class is easier then 1st. Do the extra credit, you will need it. Only 2 test and a final. Mostly essay. Passable, but challenging.

I took Ms. Farrington, for history 11 and 25 and i passed both with A's. her class is not hard or unorganized. just do the reading and there is no way you can possibly fail. She's a really good teacher who knows what she's talking about!

I don't know why people think she was hard. She gives out LOTS of Extra Credit, two tests, no homework, and you do group work 90% of the time. She also shows a kick ass Vietnam War video near the end of class. She is not hot but she is not ugly either. I ended up with a B in the class.

I actually showed up to class and did the readings and got an A. People who whine about not getting taught by her need to go back to high school. It is the students job to know the material. Her stories about the past pres. were funny and lectures covered all the material.

This teacher is excellent. She is passionate about her subject, and she also expects a lot from her students. I recommend you don't take this class if your writing and reading skills are weak. You can't pass this class with poor study habits.

Farrington is a university style teacher. she gives challenging tests but not impossible. If you want to learn about women in american history and are willing to put some effort into the class, take her. Yeah some reading is involved but she doesn't expect you to be a genious. just keep on track and plan ahead.

Very interesting teacher, gives good lectures. Her class is hard if you're not willing to study, but other then that is interesting and I learned a lot. No homework and you watch a lot of videos, gives lots of extra credit. Nice lady too

she's one tough teacher. mrs.farrington assigns a lot of group assignments. Her test consist of a multiple choice/an essay (which she will give 6 topic in advanced and 3 will appear on the exam; you pick one out of the 3). hint: if your taking her just to pass by, then you might suggest taking another teacher. she's no joke! she's not easy!

Tough but fair. Highly structured class. Went out of her way to help me prepare for the midterm. Highly recommend!

Brilliant and knowledgable--excellent class but not for the faint of heart.

Loved the class--a real challenge but I learned a lot. Great lectures plus extra credit!

Great Teacher

Awesome class--really sparked my interest! A real challenge but not too difficult if you keep up with the work.

Great Teacher. Sparked my interest as well. Uses films, study guides, lecture and group lessons. Some extra credit. Need to come focused to class or else it'll be hard to keep up with the work. ;)

She seems to be super smart and gives interesting lectures and assignments. For authoritative and clear about what she wants from you as a student.

I took Prof. Farrington for Hist 11 and she teaches the same way for Hist 25. Uses many resourses like films, books, lectures. Grades fairly. Test are multiple choice plus essay question. Gives extra credit. Tells funny stories. Very articulate and professional in the her style of teaching. I enjoyed her in both subjects.

Summer Class moves fast, Instructor makes a boring subject very interesting, alot of group work.

This class was amazing! I'm not a history buff whatsoever, but she made it exciting and easy to comprehend. The movies, the lectures, and the quizes were easy to understand. Take her if you want to stay awake and have fun throughout the semester in a history class.

Good teacher, lectures a lot but very interesting. Hard but fair grading. If you keep up with the lecture notes you will do fine.

Great teachee, keep up with the lectures you will pass

Pros: Very nice and cares about her students. I leaned a lot of new vocab because she used a lot of intelligent words. Gives a lot of info during her lectures, which is good for note taking. She goes over the midterm and final and says exactly what is on the tests. Lets us go early often. Cons: Group work. Tests are half essay, worth 50% of test.

Interesting lectures and videos shown - she tells good stories and likes to hear ours. If you don't read the textbook(s) and keep up with the lectures, you won't do as well. You need to use all material provided. Tests consist of multiple choice and an essay. My only complaint is she doesn't always respond to emails. Otherwise it was a pleasure~

Nice teacher but very unorganized, misses alot of classes. Lectures are boring and pointless and have nothing to do with whats on the test. Essay/multilple choice midterms and finals, very hard! if you dont read everypage of the book then you will fail this class, all in all a very vauge teaching method. take someone else.

GOOD TEACHER. CARES ABOUT THE STUDENTS. iF YOU SHOW YOU'RE iNTERESTED iN THE CLASS SHE WiLL REMEMBER THAT WHiLE GRADiNG. SHE CAN BE VERY COOL. SHE MiSSED A FEW CLASSES& SAYS SHE NEVER DOES..BUT SHE DOES. THE STUDY GUiDE REALLY HELPS FOR THE TESTS..50% MULTiPLE CHOiCE& 50% ESSAY. i THOUGHT i WOULD DO HORRiBLE iN THE CLASS BUT ACTUALLY DiD PRETTY GOOD

I was so nervous taking an online class for the first time but this class was great. All you need to do is read the book, highlight the txt relating to the question, type a Discussion response, comment response, Midterm and final response and you will be fine. If any trouble, she always responds to emails and she has phone # in case of problems. :)

I took her class during the summer and it went by fast, but it wasn't hard at all. She lectures and shows interesting videos.She also gives out allot of extra credit that really helps you in the end.The extra credit points can raise you up a letter grade. If you read the book, take notes and do the extra credit you will get an easy A.

I was trepidatious when I enrolled in Farrington's HIST 11 online; however, my anxiety dissipated as I read the explicitly detailed syllabus. She is professional and provides thorough constructive feedback. I valued her consistently high standards and feel better prepared because of them. In short, I was educated rather than coddled. Quality class!

I took this class during the summer and I really enjoyed the class. Her lectures are a little fast (mostly verbal no slides/1 study sheet), 2 test, tons of extra credit, and very interesting. You can tell she's a feminist since she is the first history professor I've had who gets deeper into how women fit in history. Really fun class.

Her syllabus was extremely detailed. She explains was is expected of you and the things you need to do in order to get a decent grade. All the work was reading and essays. One extra credit opportunity. She expects clear, specific, accurate work. Do not take if you are a bad writer. But I suggest her if you really want to challenge yourself.

She doesn't assign any tests. You have to write an essay for every 3 chapters you read, 500-1000 word. Mid-term was a 1500-2000 word essay and same for the final. Be ready to do a lot of reading and writing. Easy class if you're good at writing essays.

Six 500-1000 word essays, pretty easy, and a final and midterm paper. Dont take this class if you dont like writing papers.

Clear, specific expectations and directions. Very fair grader. Responded to an e-mail from me at 11:45 PM regarding the final exam prompt--that was a first for me:). Will be taking again for Hist 25 --highly recommend!

Straight forward course--just keep up with the work and you will do fine!

I took her this summer and I loved the class (and I dont even like history)! You dont have to memorize anything but you do have to write. The course is well-organized and easy to manage. I appreciated her feedback and her quick responses to my emails.

The online class is based on essays, every other week. Have to do a critique on a classmates module one week after your essay. Very simple, straightforward on assignments. Understanding to students daily life and very easy to communicate with, also responds quickly.

-Easy to get ahold of and forgiving and understanding with late work.

Clear criteria, excellent communication and detailed feedback.

I took the 5-week winter course and really enjoyed it. About 5 weekly discussion essays do and 2 essay exams. The textbook is really easy to understand and has all the information you need. She gives good feedback and was very accessible and caring! Great professor

I think professor Farrington was awesome, she told you exactly what she expected of you and exactly how she wanted work to be done.

Organized and provided feedback on all assignments. Promptly responded to my emails.

Pros: Farrington was extremely well-organized. Fast email responses. Quick turn around on grading. Detailed feedback. Challenging, but fair. No group work (a HUGE plus). Cons: A lot of writing (I was okay with that but some students won't be) and her video lectures could be longer. Overall, a great experience so I have taken her more than once.

Farrington was awesome! As a returning student, I was a bit intimidated at first, but, she really put me at ease. I learned so much in this class- I highly recommend her!

Honestly this was a pretty easy class to pass if you do your work and do more than the bare minimum. Its pretty much the same thing the entire semester. You read chapters from a textbook and then write an essay from the given prompts, then respond to a classmates response. Don't be discouraged with the amount of writing! the content is interesting.

Super friendly and easy to reach out to. I took her online class and everything was quite simple and self explanatory. The majority of the work is essays, 100% essays.

This is my second class with Farrington. I appreciated the streamlined organization- very easy to navigate the material. Quick responses to email and good feedback.
