I took her class in summer.She gives a packet of work with vocab,etc. but it's really easy.There is one quiz over a novel & you can use the book.She also gives a review for the final exam and she gives extra credit if you bring dog/cat food:)
Shes a nut case, old, but EASY
good teacher, highly recommend for history...
Very good teacher & very helpful. Can be a very easy A if read materials & notes. Does a little review before tests. Gives lots of bonus opportunities

Loved this lady! She piles a lot of work on you but it is very easy. She gives you E/C for bringing in animal toys or food. Not bad for a former Air Force Captain.
She's good at history and knows her info. She an fair grader and pretty much tells u wut 2 study. She also teaches 1301.

She is an extremely easy teacher, as she teaches very well. She knows exactly what she is takling about and that she is very helpful. she gives a lot of bonus points. I would say it is not an easy A, but if u take notes and attend her class regularly its
VERY HELPFUL HER CLASS IS EASSY AND SHE DOESN'T GIVE MUCH WORK
This is an easy class if you go to it. If you don't, it is hard to catch up. Nice lady, though, but old.
No Comments
she deosnt know what she is talking about cause the stuff she says and the stuff in the text book conflicts so if you wanna do well forget everything you know about history
Not a good teacher. She knows what she is talking about but the class doesnt !!!! her reviews are totally opposite from her tests!!!!
nice lady, easy class if you attend and take good notes. Makes the material not so boring. I recommend her..if you want to do good
BAD BAD BAD TEACHER epecially if you are going to take a friday class a very bad teacher does not know what she is taking about gives too much work for one week do not take her!
alrite teacher. dont have to buy textbook just handbook for notes. handbook outlines everything she lectures about and if you keep that up your set for a good grade. i would recommend taking her. got B but could of got A if i didnt get lazy.
got a B could've gotten a A. Come to class on time becasue she tells Qs on test. You have to come to class to take notes. If you memorize real good you'll do well. Read 2 books easy 100s. The key is to study memorize,memorize, your notes
She makes her lectures interesting and leaves you hanging til next time. You always want to learn more!
She is cool, nice, and funny teacher. Easy A teacher and she makes the history stuff interesting.
Very easy going, makes history interesting, took both hist 1 & 2, aced both of them!!!
Nice ass teacher...explains very well,not much work at all...the tests are a little hard but just remember her lectures and it will help you pass.
she's awesome!
Very good instructor. She made class interesting early on a Saturday morning. She makes history funny and the books we had to read were interesting. The test for the books is mostly based on your opinion so as long as you read part of the books, you can pass the book review.
For alot of people history is a subject that is boring and sometimes hard to pay attention to, but her teaching style keeps you paying attention. Easy test. Easy book review. Two thumbs up!
THIS CLASS IS VERY EASY SHE GIVES REVIEW THAT ARE ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE THE TEST
She is the best teacher ever!
SHE IS A GOOD TEACHER. JUST READ THE BOOKS FOR THE BOOK REVIEW AND COME TO CLASS WHEN SHE REVIEWS FOR THE TEST AND YOU WILL DO FINE.
Her classes are interesting. I had never fall asleep in her classes. The book reviews are easy, whereas the tests are pretty hard. Questions in the tests are NOT based on the review sheets she gave us beforehead.
She's very easy if you do what she assigns in the sylabus.
She is nice teacher who gives extra credit. The 2 book reviews are easy but her tests are ok. The reviews she gives are nothing like the tests.
Her lectures are easy to follow and book review are easy if you read the book... Now her test are another thing! You truly have to study everything... She gives reviews but the test are much more indepth... I would not take her agian.
She doesn't encourage class discussion/participation. She just kind of talks at you all day. Her tests suck because she gives reviews which are entirely different and less in-depth, but she tells you what to expect from day one with the syllabus and sticks with it.
DOnt take her in Summer ....She has totall of Three Grades... 40 % Midterm ,20% Eassy,40% finals...Thats it.Only three stinkin grades
great teacher
She's a great and easy teacher!! Im taking her again for summer II!
she is a good teacher if you can take good notes and pay attention during lecture. Only 3 grades though, two exam 80% book review 20%... and NO EXTRA CREDIT!!
Wonderful teacher. Apart from being really nice, she gets you really interested by joking around every so often. Not a blowoff class, but still pretty easy.
I love her! Easy and Helpful! Made an easy A =)
Ms. Fry was the best not a blow off class but always willing to help i got a B in the class and i failed the midterm all you have to do is take notes and study and she gives extra credit one of the best!!!! Wish i could take her again but her class was full already!!!
She is great. I took her again in 1302 and is was another easy A. She will make sure you pass her class with atleast a "B".
great class. study hard and do all the extra credit to get a high grade.
Best teacher u can ever get. just take notes and study them before class and you will be ok. Easy A if you take notes
best history teacher other than Mary Kehoe...however Fry is easier when it comes to grading and attendance...we didnt have any quizzes just two tests (midterm/final) and lots of extra credit opportunities to boost up ur grade! her personality is great! she always has a smile on her face =) I strongly recommend her!
plz dont take this teacher at all cuz she expects too much from a student and you know every student has different skills but she wont understand that thing so plz dont this freaking teacher and i had to withdraw from this class.
She is the best teacher that I have never had, I got an A in her class of course you have to write all of what she teaches, and do all the bonus credit that will put in a good shape. If you have problems with her lectures, talk to her that she is always willing to help her students; I love her and her teaching, EXCELLENT PROFFESOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Yes everyone has different skills and everyone doesn't belong in college.
Took her during summer session. Her class was pretty interesting. We had 2 test (open note/book) and 6 articles to write a summary on, which she gives you more than enough time to complete.We also had one book quiz over a novel which was EASY! Don't buy the textbook. If you take good notes that is more than enough for the test. Easy A with effort!
Easiest teacher ever, my friend recommended her, he took 1302 with her and made a B without studying anything. then we took her for 1301 in summer and made B without any effort
easy if you do your work.
she is so EASY!!! 2 exams (midterm & final) that are open notes&book. 1 book report about Reagan and ALOT of extra credit!!! i learned so much about US History w/o even trying.
she is an excellent teacher. her tests are open book, but u should prepare...she is interesting, and makes learning fun. she is not that hard at all and does not expect too much! loved her and her class and would recommend her...she also allows you to exempt the final if ur doing good!
ILoved Ms Fry..... she was very easy she only has two test midterm and final exam you also have to write these critiques on these articles in your book, and ahe also gives alot of extra credit i would recommend this teacher to anybody who hasnt taken history1301
I expected to have this as a blow off class but the way she teaches she makes you do work or you fail. and it is hard material comparing its a freshman class.
AS LONG AS YOU DO YOUR WORK AND MAKE AN EFFORT TO DO YOUR WORK SHE WILL PASS(C OF BETTER) YOU AND SHE GIVES YOU TON OF OPPURTUNITIES TO PASS HER CLASS WITH THE EXTRA CREDITS WORK AND I TOOK HER IN 07 MINI TERM FOR THE FALL!!!
SHE GRADES VERY UNFAIRLY BUT SHE'S EASY! SHE ALSO DOES A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT SO DO THOSE BECAUSE THEY MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE! I WOULD RECCOMEND HER TO PEOPLE IF THEY'RE WILLING TO WORK!
In Mrs. Class you do not have to attend class. She talks the whole class time. Class was 2 hours. We only stayed in class one hour. I would not take her class. I don't think she care for blacks. We bought 4 books and only used 2 out of the four. She will tell you one thing and say another. Don't take this lady.
omg i love ms.fry! she is sooooo easy!. It is impossible to fail her class because she gives out so much extra credit.She is highly recommended and her class is also very interesting!
All exams are open book but if you dont know the material before exam you will NOT PASS even with it being open book. She clarifies alot in lecture.
Prof Fry makes History very interesting. I do not care for History, but I will definitely take her again for 1302. She gives many opportunities for extra credit. I recommend this Professor!
EASY!!!!! her class is such a blow off i love it, only because i could careless for history, but if history is your forte then you will not learn a thing.. nice lady, attendance not important.. easy A! great for your GPA!
she is sooo easy! gives alot of extra credit, all tests are open book, theres a total of 3 tests, the third one is the final with open book and notes, easy A, but if you are majoring in history then dont take her class, this class is just for those others who just need the class, you do need 3 books for this class though but its worth it
Ms. Fry is the Ultimate, she made me love History. I took History 1 and 2 with her and I got A+ in both. She is a great History Prof. I highly recommend her to students allespecially if you are the type that does not like History. She will put you thru
One of the nicest teachers i know. The tests and quizes were open book but timed so u need to know the stuff. The lectures were interesting and always played clips to go along. You have to write a couple short essays but she is very lenient on grades overall Take her
she is super duper super duper super duper Easy if you dont pass her you are ***** slow ! serioulsy shes the best all test open book literely TAKE ALL DUMMIES YOU WILL PASS !!!!
she is awesome and VERY easy!
I love to just sit and listen to this woman.She lectures in a most unusual way and has a way of getting the lectures across to you.If you want to understand history,take her class.She also give enough extra credit for you to pass.Every week you to a quizz on the book character,from which you also learn from.

She only teaches for about 45 minutes, not for the whole class and lets us go
Great teacher! Love her class, well acknowledge and funny too. This class is really easy and Prof. Fry is extremely helpful. Tests are open book and quizzes are short. She'll let you retake the test. Easy A! I highly recommend her
I took her for mini session. Her test were open book and notes however they were kinda hard. I would make like 80's and 85's which would be the highest in the class. The mc part of the test is not straight from the book. You have to comprehend it. The essays she tells you exactly what she wants and gives you a list of choices beforehand. I got an A
Professor Fry is da bomb! She is very helpful, makes her classes interesting and offers a lot of extra credit. The only way anyone would fail her class is if they were extremely lazy. So long as you take notes (the notes are freaking important!!!) and do all the assignments you'll be fine + she doesn't make you buy a whole bunch of useless textbook
Very nice teacher.Makes the class interesting. Test are some what hard but gives a lot of extra credit to help raise your grade. I took her for both HIST 1301 and 1302. I would recommend her for anyone needing history.
professor Fry class was easy! open notes tests. no textbook needed, but u do need a presidental difference book! her essay test questions comes straight from her lecture notes. you have to write a pro/con article almost every other week its not that hard, one page single spaced on what you side you think is correct.
Shes the best...!!!!!!
She is goofy and really interesting to listen to. Her lectures are awesome! Tests are really easy. Take good notes! IT's essential! She gives a lot of extra credit. You will learn a lot. I'm not a history person, but I actually liked this class.
She is the best college History teacher ever. Just do the work and take notes and you will pass with an A. You don't really need the textbook
Wow i can't believe i actually understood history with this lady! Her lectures are smooth and are easy to understand. She gives A LOT of extra credit for opportunity to raise your grade. NO textbook needed and make sure u write down everything she says. It will come in handy on tests days ;)
Mrs. Fry is a great teacher, Ireally learned History with her. Open notes test and a book report, she is really nice... :-)
good teacher.just wonder if she give an A.worked hard but had a B.will recommend her if u are hard working
I took her for fall 2010. I thougt to have good experience but it was bad. Don't recommend her. Don't take her. Requires 3 book tests, gives extra credit work but not counted in final grade. I did everything she asked never missed class and got a C. All hard work for nothing!Think twice before signing up for her class.
Come to class and take her notes. if you can write everything that comes out of her. Easy A.... One of d Best History Teacher
Ms.Fry is a great history professor. I never thought I would enjoy history. Most of my test scores were 75 but at the end i still recieved a high B!
Love love love this class, she is an amazing professor and i learned so much from her. Our class literally would be sad when it was time to go because we enjoyed it so much. Pay attention and take good notes she will answer any of your questions. She is helpful and I would definitely recommend her to everyone.
perhaps the greatest professor n all hccs :]
Love this teacher. She's really great! I reccommend her to all my friends that need history.
TAKE HER AND IN THE CLASS,TAKE NOTES. EASY A
This teacher is the best, really easy! All you gotta do is take notes & its a easy A. Everything is open note! No text book required too.
Awesome teacher! TAKE HER IF YOU NEED TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY!
took her durring the summer and loved her she knows what she is talking about and if you need help she is whilling to help. all of her tests were open notes!
I'm taking her class right now and from what I heard her class is easy and all its not true. You have to take extremely good notes. She has an essay portion on her test and if you don't include everything she will take like 30 points off. She gives you a lot of extra credit though. Before you didn't have to write a paper, but now theres a paper.
Very easy and interesting. If you hate history Ms. Fry will change your mind. You can use your notes on the test and she provides extra credit.
Mrs. Fry is wonderful. She made class interesting. There is a lot of work with the Pro/Con Articles and 6 page paper on The Things They Carried. Do all vocabulary which you can use on the test. You will pass if your find all of them. You can use your notes too.....Easy A if you take good notes and do your voc.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Never missed a day, tests were pieces of cake always take notes and do the assignments..STAY AWAKE at all times, very funny historical sense of humor and will help if you need anything, WRITE WRITE WRITE AND STUDY if you didn't take the notes or use google to help you find your answer as well! :) Overall a great class!
YOU WILL LOVE HER! She is very humorous and her materials for class are appropriate and really interesting...even at 8 am! Take good notes but she gives you many notes too for your open book test! She uses differentiated teaching style! (puzzles, films, books, notes, lectures)...so all learning styles are covered! Most people take her for 1302!
GREAT TEACHER...if you can't get an A in this class, then you don't comprehend on a college level. JUST FILL OUT THE OUTLINE SHE GIVES YOU. DO THE VOCAB...I GOT 100% A. Its ridiculous easy. And her class isn't boring. I wish there were more teachers like her.
GREAT TEACHER. OPEN BOOK TESTS. SHE GIVES YOU AN OUTLINE. but the only way to complete is to go to class. She doesnt use a book...so it saves you money. its like 3 tests all open notes. SUPER EASY CLASS. AND SHE IS FUNNY.
Ms Fry is so cool. Her class is so laid back & relaxed. I took her fall 2011 & im very satisfied w my grade. 2 open notes tests, a book test, and a 4-6 pg paper. Each is worth 25% of your grade so u cant miss 1 w/o failing the whole class. Make sure u take thorough notes (i would rec. a voice recorder). She makes hist interesting & shes funny 2! =)
She is an awesome professor in HCC. take a note in a class and follow her, you don't have to look back.
You don't have to worry about anything,,, just take her,,, go before the seats are gone. you don't have to worry about notes-taking. she is very clear and you can share notes with classmates. she really wants her student to pass. her class is fun and she is extremely helpful. the best history instructor ever. totally recommended. â??
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! She makes History very interesting! Only two test, you get to use your notes on the test, given a novel to read, no textbook. TAKE HER!!! EASY EASY EASY!!!
Professor Fry is extremely passionate about history. All of her tests are open note, so be sure to complete the vocabulary in the outline. If you stay awake and complete all the quizzes, there's no reason you wouldn't get an A.
This is an awesome teacher. I thought I hated history, but she made it very interesting. I have learned to much in this class. She stimulated my mind and I was eager to learn history. WOW!! that is awesome. This is the best teacher I have ever had. Take her class and you must attend class and take notes. You will pass her class and learn.
She's very easy. All her quizzes are open note and she let's you work w/ classmates. She's a real cool lady, she was hippy back in her day. Take her, i guarantee you no other teacher will compare!
BEST TEACHER EVER!Her class is easy(open note quizes and 2 tests) fun and very informative.I will definitely take History 1302 with her.Our term paper was based on the novel Jubilee and the movie Gone With the Wind,it can't be more interesting. I truly enjoyed writing it.Take GOOD NOTES, ATTEND and you'll do great. Once again SHE IS THE BEST!
Her class is so easy. I took her for HIST 1301 and HIST 1302. It is very easy and simple. I passed both with an A. open note quizzes and open note tests. If you are taking the class in Fall or Spring you will have to write a paper based on a movie. But in summer you don't have to.
TAKE HER SHE IS AWESOME AND KNOWS HER HISTORY BEST TEACHER I EVER TOOK!! OPEN NOTE TESTS AND THEY ARE NOT HARD!! EASY A! :)
Ms. Fry is simply the best. You don't need a textbook because she has a very organized and simplified outline prepared,so all you need to do is take good notes. The tests r more than fair b/c u get to use your notes!She doesn't stand and lecture forever and over whelm you with complicated material.I had her for 1301&1302.she is great and funny :)
another favorite teacher... she is into history she enjoys teaching history she is clear and helpful and really nice professor i would recommend her...i took 2301 and 2302 with her i think she has 3 exams plus extra credit... a lot of extra credit and some hw assignments that are not hard to complete easy B OR A
Great professor. Class is easy, she really wants you to pass. Very helpful she makes everything so clear. Love her.
Love her!!!! Wish all my classes were as interesting and informative. She knows how to teach which is something I can not say for my other professors.
She was by far the best professor I have had. She teaches exactly what is on her tests and is very clear. She is also very passionate about her job. Would highly recommend taking her class.
she is awesome
I absolutely love History after taking her class. Took 1301 and 1302 Great selection of books to read, movies to watch and great informative lectures. Make sure and write good notes because you can use these during the quizzes. Awesome professor. You will want to go to class every day because she makes it worth going..she teaches you something!
she is an awesome teacher!! pleassee take her! you will not regret it :) i love the way she teaches. she explains every with such clarity. shes very helpful as well. she wants her students to pass.
She is really good. Doesn't mind taking her Time to ensure everybody gets the subject. You have to be EXTREMELY lazy to not pass her class.
Seriously best teacher ever. I wished she taught another subject just so I could take her again. She's funny and down to earth and funny just do the very easy work she gives and your golden.
I took her this summer seriously ms Carol has changed . pls take her at your own risk . Her final exam is 65 questions fill in the gaps, of a truth was so difficult I saw students looking at each other unbeliever-ably.Wish you all the best.I guess she changed her exam pattern.
I dont recommend her. I worked so hard, I got a B. Her tests may be open notes but her questions are not important things to know about history. Not everything on the test youve learned in class. Never again.
I dont know why people say she is easy, she has 50 questions fill in the blanks half of the things I have never heard about and so muchhhh homework
She gave us too much homework during the class(a book review, video review, homework packets and sometimes a lot of extra papers).The midterm and final exams are difficult. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER :(
THIS TEACHER IS AWESOME! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND HER. SHE GIVES YOU PLENTY OF TIME TO DO HOMEWORK. SHE GIVES IT AT THE BEGINING OF THE YEAR AND YOU HAVE MONTHS TO DO IT. SHE IS EASY PLEASE TAKE HER! I AM TAKING HER FOR 1302. SHE GETS BOOKED REALLY FAST SO HURRY!!!!!!!!
She lets you use notes on the final and midterm! she is very easy and her class is entertaining I made an A! Taking her for 1302 DEFINETLY! She does get chosen really fast so take her and get your classes early!!!
She was awesome! She made history so much fun. I hated when I had to miss a class for a doctors appointment or when class was cancelled. It was easy and fun and she is an amazing teacher. You won't regret taking her class.
This proffesor is beyond cool! She makes everything worth it. Your time and money. I always sucked at history, but she really made it better! I got an A. Please take her you won't regret it!
So hard and bad grading
She bad teacher ever don't take her so hard
She is an easy A, but if you are free as a bird and having nothing to do except do her bunch loads of hw, course packets and research then take her. I m glad I took her for 1302, I couldn't bear her for 2 semesters:/
This is one of the best classes I have ever taken, she is an excellent teacher, and you could learn so much from her, and I use the knowledge I learn from her. History can make one wiser, and she definitely makes you smarter and wiser,and she is so proud of her country, USA. You have to take her class!!!
She needs to change her questions to multiple choice. fill in the blanks were really hard especially for people like me . Our mind is everywhere. other than that Great Professor. Lots of homework
hard hard teacher alot of home work
Don't take guys she is not good .....
Her exams are hard
Hard tests ever , a lot of home work ,hard hard
She is not easy teacher
A great historian. Class is very entertaining with interesting lecture, films, etc. Print Course outline and fill in during lecture-use this as test review. Homework packets is a lot of info but doable if you do 3-4 assignments a week. Pay attention in class and do well on quizzes/weekly homework assignments. You can't be lazy. Easy A+
hard teacher , to much work I end it with F >>>>>>
Bad class hard teacher , effect your GPA don't take her ever .
She is nice teacher , but to much work can't coach it , end up with D
I end up with C hard teacher and class ever .....
Very good instructor. I see that lot of people complain because there is a lot of work. Do what is required and you will be fine. She gives some assignments to earn extra credits and that helps to improve grade. She is fair and if you do what you are supposed, you will earn a good grade.
Bad bad teacher ever .....
she is really a nice professor she will give you so many extra credits so you can raise your grade up
The best teacher I ever had! I looked forward Saturdays every week! Interesting lectures, exiting homework assignments I enjoyed to do! And she is so nice person, very helpful even during tests! The only thing - this class is not just for a ride! Requires some work. Good for me, bad for lazy students.
She is the worst teacher ever . Please don't take her ...............………
Ms. Fry is very passionate about history and it shows in her teaching. Most students complain about the workload (there are HW packets due throughout the semester + some assigned book tests), but all her tests are open note and book (can't use your phone). I easily got an A by doing the assignments and using her notes outlines on tests.
After all that home work packs and hard final exam she said open book but just 10 Q come from note and book the rest 40 Qs from her mind no one know it . I got C :(
Ms. Fry is an excellent professor; I took HIST 1301 and 1302 with her and got A's on both. She is willing to help you if you are willing to help yourself. I missed the first two weeks of this pass semester and she gave me a chance to stay in the class. I got all the notes and got back on track and I passed. I would definitely recommend her.
You'd have to be a complete moron to do badly in this class. Prof. Fry gives open book tests and is very helpful and interesting. I never liked history until I had her. Let's face it; not everyone is meant to go to college.
AMAZING teacher! does not require a textbook and her tests are all over her notes. Open notes test and a lot of homework that has information for the tests. As long as you pay attention, take good notes and do all of your homework you will for sure receive an A. You will not regret taking her class!!
She is the worst history class ever I took hist 1 with other pro was so easy then I took hist 2 with CAROL so hard make C .
Yes people don't take her at all ...
So hard professor .
she is super nice , I did whole home work and many essay and still i earned D.
I do the survey for that teacher and I wrote the true just to much home work to much , then she gave me D and I'm still fight with her by email but she don't want help at all
She goes fast as the lectures move on. Will teach a lot during a lecture and will hold you accountable at the end of class. Sometimes hard to understand her during lectures.
I don't recommend Carol Fry
I just drop her from summer class she is so hard .
For real so hard class
Oh she is so hard a lot of work , my friend lie to me he said she easy she not give a lot of work that bad .
Hard home work to much !!!!!!
She is an easy C but if you are free as a bird and having nothing to do except do her bunch loads of hw, course packets and research .
dont take carol fry ever ,,, so hard one
today is last day for the class i make whole the pak for hard home work and i made three essay and one research paper and one short story , but i was not good with final test she make it so hard she is not helpful don't take her .
dont take her
she is pretty fair in grading but you cant slack off.. just do the homework packets and take good notes.. her exams are open book and right from the notes.. she also gives you alot of credit to make up for your grade
I got D in her class , she is so hard teacher ever , she gave as alot of work then we are 5 of as end up with D ,
Dont take FRY she has problem , she want every student drop any other class and quit your job to study hard hard to end up with D and if you lucky you will get C just forget B and A with FRY .I took her after i read all that bad comments i thought not true and good for my time to i END UP with D and MY GPA WAS 3,8 now because FRY my GPA 3.1 yes D
If you're not willing to put in the time and effort, don't take any classes. Professor Fry is an amazing teacher ; Failure lies within the student who was lazy. As Professor Fry says, "You see".
If you're a lazy idiot, like most of my classmates, you deserve what you get. If you have a sense of entitlement, like most of my classmates, I know soon you'll be asking me if I want fries with that shake! Just because HCC has open enrollment doesn't mean you belong in college. I liked Professor Fry, but I enjoy hard work and learning.
these teaches give you everything in notes and also lets you use the notes for the test.
She is really good!! She makes history interesting. She knows a lot! Everything she tells you goes along with her outline that you will be allowed to use on the test! She will also give you homework assignments, do them!! I got a C for neglecting my homework otherwise I would have got an A! She is very nice and pleasant to be around!
She's very interesting professor and she's very helpful. I love the stories about history and the videos. Unfortunately, the dummies in the class (you can tell by their writing style here) made the environment in the class horrible because they really don't have anything to contribute and they constantly complain and moan.
aWESOME TEACHER!! She requires you to complete your homework and assignments like every college teacher. This is college not high school so if you pay attention and complete your homework you will pass with an A. I am a full time employee along with a full time student and managed to get an A. It is possible simply requires you to show your effort.
Professor Fry is an Excellent Teacher! I was always interested in History before, but she really made it fun. You can use notes on the test so they are super easy as long as you take good notes during her lectures. Show up and you pass! Take good notes and you will get an Easy A! Highly recommend!
I GOT D , Dont take fry very bad person
Best Prof at HCC. She goes step by step and completes syllabus way before time. She explains everything in great detail and also responds to emails, she also gives extra credit quizzes ever so often so you can improve your grade.
she is so hard for real ,
her class is easy but the assignments are tough. especially the test even though they are open book. the grading scale she uses is so wrong. technically you have to have a 93.7 to earn an A according to her syllabus 750-800 points. which is weird.
I absolutely love her method of teaching! Attend her classes, take your own notes, do the assignments and any extra credit options she gives and you will enjoy her class. EASILY!!!..I've always been interested in History but she made it so interesting that I'm definitely taking her again for 1302!!!..
she is super hard , you will not pass , look like she teach phys . i donot recommend her to any of my friends
I like her , Pro carol fry , she is such a nice person , but her way to teach it's not really helpful , she ask to much things to do , alot alot of home work +more the 8 essays +Two research paper + 7 quizzes + final . WHICH IS OPEN BOOK , BUT 100 Q WITH 60 MIN ONLY , NO ONE COULD DO IT , I PASS WITH ''C " I WAS HAPPY BCZ MOST OF THE CLASS GOT "D"
Professor Fry is a highly experienced and amazing professor, with so much passion in teaching. You should take her if you want a vast knowledge in American History. She is very lenient as well. Ill'd recommend her to everyone anytime any day.
I donot recommend it to any one she is very hard , make drop your other class , to pass with D she is very hard ,
Carol Fry she like to make it hard , so she can feel she is doing important staff , dont take her ever .......
Great teacher. She is organized, doesn't waste your time and is engaging. Class is a mixture of film clips, discussions, reading & assignments. Take good notes and you'll pass.
dont take her , she is hard person ............
she is super hard and tell as when you take hist you should be doing good in high school , but im international student
Passed with a A. Make sure to jot down EVERYthing she says.
She's a great professor. I'm a smart, intelligent student and I understand the material and study a lot. My grades are good for that reason. You can tell the students here who don't belong in college or who need lots of remedial writing and reading courses. Just because it's open enrollment, doesn't mean you belong in college. I love a challenge!
I took fry last term , then I drop her after first test so hard , then I took Daniel welson for second start I made A Don't take Carol she made it hard hard
I don't recommend her
Ms. Fry is the best prof. at HCC. Her long lectures are very interesting and imp. She makes it fun by showing movies and providing short articles to read. Frequently gives out extra credit to boost up your grades, jot down everything she says as that's where the tests are from. The course is lengthy but she breaks it down in a perfect manner.
Great Professor! Took her for 1301 and passed with a B. Taking her again for 1302 and glad I did. Never miss class and take good notes. Lectures are interesting and as long as you do assignments and read material for class, you are guaranteed to pass.
I dislike History, but I really enjoyed her class.
She is really nice and pretty easy. Only reason I got a B was because i'm not good at history. You have to read 2 paperback books and are tested on them. She gives extra credit most of the time & article assignments are easy. Her tests are are not that easy because it's fill in the blank but she does let you use your notes and your outline.
Carol Fry has made the dreaded History classes enjoyable for me! She doesn't expect you to memorize a bunch of dates and people, but instead wants you to UNDERSTAND history. Tests are open book and open notes, you need to read and understand what she is looking for. Go to class and take detailed notes, seriously, write down EVERYTHING :)
dont take her , she is hard person ............
I don't recommend it Carol . Fry she is hard , her way super hard , under your risk be a wear fro Carol , may Carol give you F or if you did very good Fry will give you D but dont dream to get C With Carol . thank you guys
I dont recommend Fry carol she is hard person , very mean , attendants important not late class or early leaving , if she smile in your face thats mean she does not like drop the class right a way , dont take her there are alot of hist teacher way better then her good luck
hi guys , I would like to shear my info about this class , the hist easy and fun , but carol fry made the class hard , I got ''D'' up to you
Nope nope nope , Carol Fry not good
Carol Fry is an amazing teacher. Not only does she provide an outline for the class, she is organized, and helpful. The class is a mixture of film clips, discussions, reading & assignments. Take good notes along with the outline and you'll pass. I don't know why people complain about this class.. I hate history, and I loved this class.
Carol Fry is the best history teacher I ever had! Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you miss lecture you'll miss important class notes that you can use during tests. Homework wasn't hard at all, just repetitive. I was scared at first because of all the misleading reviews here, but she is a great teacher and I would take her again for 1302.
Very hard tests. Not easy to talk to her. Very picky grader. she will give you a zero , if your essay not clear or copy one line , she is not good , i will never take her again , dont take FRY dont TAKE FRY
she is very harsh on grading so i wont recommend her to anyone too much homework other useless staff
Mrs. Fry makes all the notes easy to understand in the outline but you have to take really good notes if you want to do good. 3 test AND the final is open book and open notes. 1 book test and u can use the book. homework is not hard. she basically give you everything you need to pass her class. show up every day, take good notes equal EASY A
Loved Professor Fry. Her class is so interesting that she made me love history. The students at HCC typically are of very poor quality and this has gotten worse. That makes class unbearable sometimes - the stupidity, ignorance, and refusal to put any effort into learning. Once I realized this, I learned to ignore the others and enjoyed the class!!!
She is a great teacher. Do all the homework and take notes, you will pass. She makes it very interesting. The hardest part is all the homework but she is an easy grader. The test are going to be hard if you do not take notes remember notes can be used on all test.
She is super super Hard I study alot to pass with -C , carefuller from fry .
Tough teacher make the class very hard for real stay a way from fry she will Effect your GPA , dont take her
Very hard teacher
She is very nice... Test are very easy if you take good notes... Secret to getting an A is taking good notes... I highly recommend her.
She is an amazing instructor. She is very clear and concise, but makes history alive and fun. I plan on taking her again for 1302. She is a tough grader, she does give you a lot of assignments, but you do end up learning something from her class. The assignments help your overall grade. Best history teacher I ever had.
Professor Fry was a nice and informative teacher. I work full time and attend school full time, and this class requires a lot of time (in and out of class)5 to fully assimilate everything about US history in order to understand the very in dept and specific questions on her test. While the home home work was easy expect a lot of it.
Professor Fry is legit. Her way of teaching makes you actually want to understand our history. I actually don't like History but, I sure did enjoy it this time!
I love Prof Fry. Made history come alive for me. Never liked history and dreaded taking it. This professor's lectures, movies and readings were great. I learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Yes, it's a lot of work. There is a lot to read and study, but tests are open notes and I expect to be challenged in college. Have to be SMART to do well.
Prof. Fry was a great teacher! One of my favorites at HCC. She is a bit harder on grades but compared to other profs I've had she's really fair and easy going, you just need to pay attention to what she asks and read the book. (MANDATORY, but you can buy it for .50 in the library, amazing) Pay attention and read and you'll enjoy her class. :)
i just want say hahaha they gave you only 3 classes ,
Excellent professor. I really hate that the dummies in class are so rude and disrespectful and entitled. They expect a good grade for no work. You really have to be a blithering idiot to think that way. I wish they had separate classes for the dummies because they really ruin the class for those who want to learn and who are bright.
I missed questions on the test, that when I went home to look at were actually correct. The tests are all open book, but some of the test questions can have multiple answers. I personally don't like how she grades and would prefer the tests to be in multiple choice instead of free response. Her tests are also stupid.
Took Professor Fry for 1301 and got a B in the class. Great professor, but the class is not the easiest. Like others said, write down everything she says during her lectures. Her tests are kinda tough. The homework in 1302, follow the directions and write a page, you should receive a 100. On the other hand, book test/final may break you.
Her grading is hard to understand. The homeworks are worth a majority of your grade. She can decide to give you a 50 out of 300 points, which is pretty bad. Her tests can be real tricky and you can get questioned on topics you barely read on.
The students in the class are so rude. They expect a good grade for no work. They really ruin the class for those who want to learn and who are bright. Yes, like me! Great instructor, by the way.
I agree with all that negative comments , carol should leave the HCCS , Love my school but i dont like my teacher carol fry .
Professor Fry is an awesome professor. If you miss class regularly and cannot take good notes than you might want to rethink taking her class. On the other hand, if your good than it should be an easy A, i took her for 1301&1302. Her lectures are amazing just because she incorporates visual learning with auditory learning.
Professor Carol Fry is amazing! i really don't see why people say this class was hard. Really you just have to show up and make sure you write really good notes! her tests are not at all hard! you do have to study like every other class, overall i give her a A+.
Did not have a single problem with her class. The people who put bad reviews must have been tardy or didn't bother showing up to her class. Her lectures are crucial for the tests!! Write everything that she says and she always repeats important points. The assignments are easy and the tests are open notes. Just do all of the assignments given!!!
I was not looking forward to history (I mean come on, who does?) I enjoyed my Saturday mornings with her! She made this class as easy as possible. Yes you will read, yes you will take notes and yes you will ask questions. Take her! You won't regret it :)
A teacher that made me understand history even though i hate learning history in general. One big pointer is that you have to write every single word she says and shows(mainly videos) because her tests are exact copy of what she presents. Extra credit is really hard to get but its not impossible and i advice every one to read the books she assigns.
Ms. Fry is an amazing instructor. I've taken HIST 1301 & 1302 and did well. Must attend to all her lectures and take good notes in order to do well. You will be expected to read a novel for the book test and other tests, along with a good amount of homework. Come to class and be focus then you will do great! She is very fair and understanding.
Ms. Fry was one of the sweetest , most understanding professors i ever had. Her work is straight forward and her lecture i actually learned something from. She was very accessible and very understanding. If you're willing to work so is she. I recommend everyone take her.
Miss carol fry Is an amazing professor. Although the point system can be frustrating but if you want to be successful in her class just make sure you follow her directions... just do as she says and you will get the grade... lastly she understands student and can do some adjustment at the end to pass you with at least a C or better grade.
Knows her history, and can relay it well. Makes the topic interesting.
Take Professor Fry, she is THE best History, Professor. She makes the class very interesting and gives a lot of extra credit opportunity. The key to passing her class is to write down everything she says and writes on the board. You can use ALL your notes for the three tests and the final!!
She gives you 3 pack that has a lot of work in them. They aren't hard, but they do take a while to do. Actually do them or you won't pass the class. She gives extra credit as well and is really interesting.
Professor Fry is THE best History Professor. She makes the class very interesting and gives a lot of extra credit opportunity. In order to pass her class you MUST write down everything she says & writes on the board. You can use ALL your notes for the three tests & the final!! Tons of extra credit opportunity. It may seem overwhelming but it's not
She is a very great professor. She gives a lot of extra credit that are easy to do. She has 3 test and 1 final; all are open book and notes. There are only 3 homework assignments which are pretty easy. Overall she's an amazing professor and can teach very well.
Ms. Fry is one of the nice teachers and she can only pass you with at least a C and above I took this class on Saturday morning and i really enjoyed her class, her class is based on video and lectures so basically just take good notes and thats it the good part she lets everyone use notes during tests and also gives alot of extra credit
Nice lady and will not fail you, and yes her test are open notes but she words her questions hard so you will sometimes even be confused even if you have notes. She is very though when grading essays, in content and grammar although she says she wont. Test are about 25 questions each fill in the blanks, take a lot of notes. Final is 65 questions.
I had a lot of respect for her. She is a good professor but her ways are very orthodox. The biggest complaint I have is her grading system. You need a 95 in her class to get an A. I got a 914/1000 (which is a 91.4) and she gave me a B. I worked really hard in her class and was disappointed with her unfair grading rubric. Avoid her if you want an A.
Please dont take this prof if u need to pass. Exam are hard and its open where u can find nothing in it. She will make u buy book for assignment she will take that book back for 10 points. good luck with ur class search.
Professor Carol Fry is a classy teacher. She is well rounded and believes in education. But her approach is astounding. She utilizes many learning styles so that if it is videos, lecture, participation, reading, relatable issues, or writing; as long as it is learning she is right there to cheer you on. Great teacher. Wish she taught more classes!
If you want an A DON'T take her. She teaches the material good but just the general information while her test are more specific questions that's why is open notes but even with notes you can't answer the questions. My biggest complain was her grading system. She grades by points. In order to get an A in her class you need a 95 or more.
She's a doll. She gives you everything you need to pass. I understand why she doesn't give much extra credit or curve. She explains everything that will be on the test. Study. I didn't study much but if you listen in class you'll pass. Her grading is a bit off but she lets you know where you are in the class so no need to panic. TAKE HER.
She's so cool and caring. I love her lectures, she makes it interesting and simple. NO ESSAYS! However, she did give out HW which wasn't extreme difficult.
she is a great professor, her test is fair, her lecture is amazing, she is really passionate, i would recommend her
Lite HW. Tests are not as direct in the answers, yet it's easy to get bonus pts (excessive Extra Credit). She's knowledgeable making history fun. No class participation, great 4 shyness. Watch movies every day & NO ESSAYS. No books needed except HCCs rentals(w/ credit given on return) read it w/ youtube & another is a comic-bk. She prints work 4U.
Professor Fry is a Great professor, though her exams and quizzes are open book, but if you do not take good notes its useless. She grades differently , meaning she uses her own grading system . you will have to read two novels for the class, they are short and the questions are easy to answer. I got A for 1301 and B for 1302.
BEST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD!!! Shes super nice and she cares about ber students believe it or not. A lot of homework but its super easy. The way she grades is different. She shows passion during the lecture!
No more open book tests, the exams are very hard
She was incredible. Took her for a Saturday class and she let us out early every time. Ms. Fry is very kind and funny at times too. She also gives lots of extra credit. There are 2 novels that she tests you on. Textbook was not needed. Instead she gives an Outline of about 70 pages to be printed out, followed by the documents, (homework)
She was a great professor. She ALWAYS dismissed us early in her Mon/Wed class, and the class was really simple. She doesn't use canvas, but theres TONS of extra credit it's hard not to make an A. Honestly, as long as you attend her class and do the worksheets/readings she gives you there's no reason you can't make an A.
i took her for both 1301 and 1302 and her class is based on Videos and lectures she gives you alot of papers which is extra credit but it is easy, there is no open notes test which that kind of sucks but other than that write down really good notes and write down wat ever she says i made an B in 1302 and C in 1301. shes very nice and funny
Best professor ever! Makes the class very easy and fun
She's AMAZING! If you're planning to learn something in history, take her; however, if you want an easy A, avoid her at all cost. She's a tough grader and her tests are really hard. Textbooks are needed but I didn't really use it in Hist 2, just hist 1. Surprisedly, I received A's in both History 1&2, but I studied a lot. Overall, she's amazing.
One of the best classes I have taken at HCC.
One of the best professors ever!! I took her for 1301 and 1302 at 8am and i enjoyed her lectures! Homeworks consists of reading like paragraphs online and just answering questions, it was easy. The tests literally comes from the notes! We has to read two books but they were interesting! Dont stress out!
Very sweet and caring. If you show that you're willing to learn and take notes she will do her best to help you when you needed. She's very sweet and kind and I loved her class this semester. She is a tough grader, given this is a college level class you're expected to think critically and have good writing skills. Taking her in 1302!!
The professor is so hard. She might sound easy but the tests are hard. Some of the questions are not from the review list, so be careful.
I have no idea why this prof got a lot of positive reviews. I mean she is a nice professor but her test is REALLY hard. For one time I looked at other students test scour, most of them got 60 or 70, few of them got 80, and only one or two got above 90. I worked so hard to get an A for this class. If you want to get an easy A, don't take her.
Mrs fry is one of my fav professors at hcc! Her lectures are awesome and is very passionate about history. She does grade a bit tough on written assignments, so dont expect an easy A. Her reviews are almost like her exams, except for one or two things. Read the book bc that is 20% of total grade! Definitely recommend,will be taking her for 1302!
Professor Fry is a wonderful professor. I am not good at history but she made this so easy and enjoyable. The homework is all in handouts, the tests were few and made to pass and raise your grade, and the lectures were easy. Take your notes and study her reviews and this class is an easy A.
The professor sounds easy and chill in class, but when it comes to tests, it is more difficult. She said that she won't look for perfection for the paper which sounds easy, but that's not true. She grades so hard.
Tests were difficult. I hardly know how to make it through without group study. But I really appreciate that there is only one essay without citation. My 1301 professor required three essays with citations and used Turnitin to check plagiarism. I was stressed out, because English is my second language.
Professor fry is very passionate about history, lectures are the least bit boring and shes actually very funny. I can admit you definitely need to study for her tests, but honestly at the end of the semester I learned more than I ever did in high school about history. I'm taking her for summer and cant wait.
All I have to say is that the person with over 50 likes on their comment is not lying. She is a nice lady but her lectures do not match whats on the exams. You have been warned.
She knows history and is a funny old school lady. There's questions on tests that you didn't study or review in class. I got a C in this class due to that very reason. She's kind of a hard grader. There are 2 cheap books required and I advise that you read them because you won't pass the tests if you don't. Try to be on time too.
Took her for 1301, best hist prof at HCC!They should be awarding a recognition to this woman! Very passionate about history and cares about her students. Look towards going to her class, there's always discusions, and interactions with everyone. She can be very meticulous when it comes to grding, but with effort you are sure to get an A! TAKE HER!
This is one of the best lecturer in HCC, whatever grades she gives is what you deserves. Clear material, straight to the point with exams. She doesnt ask what she did not teach. If you are regular with attendance and serious with the lecture, you will make an A. Make sure you do all the class work and please take it serious. I really enjoy her le
she's a really good professor! her tests are just like the reviews and if you read the material from the class then it's an easy A! you gotta put in the effort
took her for 1301/1302. her difficulty rating shouldn't be what its at. easy A class. she's very chill and funny. if you missed something she said all you have to do is ask. exams were just like her reviews. you just have to READ. its not even alot of reading. theres a pattern to her reviews that relate to the test. you have to be real lazy to fail
Ms. Fry is the best history professor ever. I used to hate history and she managed to ignite my love for the subject. Her passion for history is contagious. Her teaching experience shows. Her tests and quizzes are reasonable, as long as you attend classes, pay attention and review, you will get an A.
I took Dr. Fry, for 1301 History, during the middle of the pandemic. Assignments remain the same however, we did two essays in the place of the multiple choice test. The essays were easy two pages single space.
Professor Fry class was simple and straightforward. This class is NOT an easy A by all means! You must study hard for your A. PLEASE study hard for the midterm!! istudied and still failed. The only thing that saved me was that the class switched to online mode due to the pandemic and the Book review and final turned into essays which was way easier
Graded by a few things that make up a small amount of your grade and given many test and exams that are worth 70% of your grade. Great teacher, horrible grader.
Professor Fry was amazing, really easy and gets really in depth with her lectures. Highly recommend!
