Professor Lewis is a great teacher. She makes a detailed outline for the students to fill in(in class)so you dont have to take notes like crazy. Just be sure to study the outlines before the test or you will do bad.

I wasn't able to have her for the entire class because she had knee surgery during the semester. What I did have of her though I enjoyed. She had handouts printed up for the whole class and all you had to do is fill in the few blanks she had based off of her power point which looked exactly like the handouts. It was cake! :)

One of the easiest classes EVER, just because she is such an incredibly clear and great teacher. Anyone failing this class just is not putting in the time to study.

I think it's amazing how easy and interesting the class is with her. It's almost like she's part of our own generation and she uses words that we feel comfortable with. At the same time, she always makes sure that we got down the information, so she tries to add sound effects and video clips into her lectures - it's cool!

You show up, get handouts, take notes, and listen to her lecture. The class isn't too bad. If you're striving for a high A in the class, give yourself a week before the test to study, like 2 pages of the notes a day and make sure you read the American Harvest sections, don't really need the big book, and if you feel like you need it, go to the lrc

Professor Lewis is a great teacher! She also cares about her students. Your grade is based on 6 chapter tests, 1 final (3 chapters), and 3 extra credit options. The tests are all based on packets she hands out for lecture which are basically the test. Some light text book reading but make sure to read the articles she provides. Easy class to pass.

Shes a great Professor. Her study guides are helpful but if you dont study the articles or her notes , you will not get a good grade. She does drop one test. I didnt study well in the beginning so it was hard to raise my grade. Great Lectures and you cant be late to that class.

I've taken professor Lewis twice now and she is literally the best. Her lectures are actually really interesting and the study guides are exactly what's on the test. Personally I don't think you need a textbook, her lectures are enough. She gives about 3 extra credit possibilities which help your grade so much. It's hard to not pass the class.

Her powerpoints I'd say were on point and I would copy what's on there. Since covid-19, she made this class consist of audio lectures and provided ppts on canvas. Take her! She's an amazing gem!
