Great lecturer, other than that little Julius Caesar/Cleopatra error! Learned from Jim Brodman, so be advised: her tests are NOT easy when it comes to the essay question. She makes you work for your grades. Nice lady, glad to have had class with her.
great lectures, tests are easy if you study. great class, enjoyed it and her.
There are really no out of class assignments, she is a stickler on absences, her tests are meticulous, but shes a good teacher, and its an easy B, but youre gonna need to memorize the notes to get an A
Great teacher. Write down everything she says and you'll for sure have an A. Makes the class fun and intersting. No papers just lots of quizes but she tells you about them before hand.
She's AMAZING! One of the best teachers i've ever had. She truly has a passion for teaching. Everything she says in class is exactly what's going to be on the test! Take her if you have a chance!
She is an awesome teacher. I hated history throughout high school, but Mrs. Carter makes it very interesting. The test are straight from the notes. She always gives a full week notice before and exam and usually a couple days notice before a quiz.
Mrs. Carter is such a sweet lady. Sometimes the lectures get boring, but it IS history. I loved being in her class. Weekly quizzes boost grade and tests are pretty straight forward.
Her tests are straight from the lecture notes and she provides an outline. There are a few quizzes throughout the semester, but are pretty easy with opportunities on every one for bonus points.
Ms. Carter is great! She follows the outline and her tests cover the notes. However, never miss a test date b/c her make-up tests are insane. Turn your cell phone off, be on time, and don't miss too much - these are her pet peeves.
This lady knows her stuff! Test are straight from notes so do not waste $$ on book if you are looking for a B. It is very easy to get a B in this class but you will have to go an extra mile to get that A. Downside.... She is INCREDIBLY BORING! Attendence is kept. No Homework= PLUS!
Dr. Carter is the best history teacher I've ever had since my Tenth Grade Global Studies class. If I get a chance to have her again I will, and I would suggest her to anyone.
Great teacher. Just take notes and you will do fine. If you take World History II the only book you will need to buy will be Landmarks in History. Don't buy the other one.
She is an awesome lady!! I loved her class. The only books you need is the Landmarks workbook, but if you can find someone who already has it, she will let you use a copy of the tearout pages. She gives so many extra points on the exam that you can't help but to do well.
She was AWESOME for World History 2. Her dry sense of humor is GREAT. Everything is from the notes. She gives you a concrete outline to work from in the form of a bound notebook. Tests are from the notes. Don't miss a test or you'll be sorry, but otherwise it was always great to come to class.
good class, she makes it clear what is expected out of her students! Nice, but make sure you come to class and on time. Old fashioned teacher.
I loved mrs. carter soo much i took her for both history 1 & 2. She is a sweet old lady if you are on time and show up for class. Attendence is taken daily. Her tests are easy if you study hard. Mostly F-in-blank & matching. The final is extremely easy, most ?s straight from old tests.
She was very easy and very friendly. She gives you an outline that you can take notes on. DONT BUY the big book she will tell you to get, you will never use it, even once. Tests are easy all matching and multiple choice with one short essay. She is an awesome teacher and i would recommend her.
She is an awesome teacher. I can't stand history, but she made it as tolerable as possible for me. On the 1st day of class, she gives you an outline of the notes for the whole semester & potential essay ?'s for each test (although most of the tests are m.c. and matching).DON'T SPEND $ ON THE BOOK!
Very nice lady. Come to class on time. she tells you every time you're going to have a quiz and what to study for it. Tests straight forward and easy if you take good notes and study hard. Don't have to buy the big history book for class. Final's mostly fm old tests. Great teacher adn person!
talks the whole period in a monotone voice making it pretty boring. However, take notes religiously and you will do awesome on the quizzes and tests. She always alerts you ahead of time for quizzes and gives 4 bonus points for each quiz. She's the most caring and understanding teacher i've had.
Carole Carter is such a sweet lady. If you take notes, her tests are pretty easy. She gives announced quizzes, which can really boost your grades. She is so sweet and has great style with the mardi gras beads!
She is great, and I especially love her jewlery! The quizes are announced and help you study for test plus they can really help your grade. Test arent hard and she has a variety of styles of questions on each. Take her!
GREAT TEACHER!!! Sweetest lady in the world! You have 3 tests and they cover a lot of material, but they are VERY easy....Has 7-8 ANNOUNCED quizzes...Final made mostly of old tests....Great sense of style! Wicker shoes and mardi gras beads!!! Gotta love her! You'll become one of her "UCA" kids
great class
She is great. I made an A but I had to study. She met with our class every week for an extra hour for anybody who wanted to stay or had any questions. She is very helpful. Take her.
What she lacks in correctness she makes up for in personality. Don't buy the book for the class. just show up and take notes. It's easy.
I love Carole Carter so much that I took her twice! Her tests can be difficult, but she makes the class fun.
She made the class enjoyable and easy to learn.
VERY NICE LADY! IF YOU GO TO CLASS AND LISTEN YOU WILL DO FINE ON THE TESTS AND QUIZZES. I LIKED THE CLASS SO MUCH I AM TAKING HER AGAIN IN THE FALL.
OK are you people on crack? She is a hard teacher. I've learned to never listen to what is said on here. Her test was IMPOSSIBLE and I did take notes. The woman is insane. It's too much**** to remember for one test.
I want out of this class!!! She tells you blatantly wrong things, and if you dare correct her, she freaks out on you. I can't imagine what else she's teaching us that's just wrong that I don't know about. She's extremely particular- no pencils, NO cell phones, extremely strict attendance policy. She screamed at the class because she could "hear one vibrating," and embarrassed me in front of the class for coming in last (not late, last). Someone, rescue me from this hell.
Ok here's the deal. She is a really nice lady, but the test are extremely hard. I went to class every day, took all the notes, studied hard, and still made C's on every test. I love history, but she put so much detailed material (acient Rome and Greece!) into one test that it was almost impossible.
One of the easiest History class I got (might be easier than my high school History), even though I extremely hate history. All you have to do are taking note and remembering names and places. Quizes are also easy and there's always extra points (on the tests also). NOT getting an A is nearly impossible.
She is sucha sweetheart, and if you go to class and take notes, you can get a 100%in the class. I came out with over a 100. She offers lots of bonus opportunites on every quiz/test, and her tests are directly from the notes. You don't have to read the book (or buy it) but she will be impressed/happy if you do. Seriously, take her class.
If you have half a brain you can pass the class! Good teacher easy tests
Horrible teacher. I learned nothing and I know more history than she does- enough to realize that she just makes stuff up as she goes. Fairly easy class, but try to forget everything you learn from her, cause its mostly made up.
Her tests are extremely hard. You have to memorize everything she says in class. Tests have 20 point essays, Fill in blank, matching. I do not recommend her unless you are good with memorizing everything.
This lady is out of her mind!!! She does not give you a word bank or multiple choice on the test so if your not good at remembering all those old crazy names then your SOL...... But she does grade pretty easy on the tests!!!
I absolutely love this lady!! She is so sweet! You DO have to study but it's not terribly hard. Her tests aren't hard if you know the material. You have announced quizes and even bonus on them. She is interesting! Definitely recommend if you want to learn or have a passion for history.
Dr. Carter is so nice and intelligent, I can't believe anyone would say different. The class is easy if you come and pay attention, but don't bother buying the book, you'll never use it except for maps. The worst part of taking the class are the idiots in there for gen-ed credit, but she's even nice to people that ask her to spell every other word.
Old fashioned teacher but so sweet. She knows her stuff and tells you what you need to know. Tests are from the notes, dont buy the book! As long as you go to class and pay attention, the class is pretty straight forward. I would definatley recommend her.
She is awesome just take notes and study them for the test. It seems like alot but really it is easy! Oh and dont bother buying the book.
take a lot of notes in class, tests are pretty easy but you HAVE to study!
OMG! She is like a grandmother to her students. She is the sweetest, most caring woman at UCA. Granted, you MUST study and attend class AND take GOOD notes, but she still is not impossible. I got an "A." There is no need for the book whatsoever. She coveres EVERYTHING in class and the workload is light. Quizzes are planned, final is EASY. TAKE HER!
Ms. Carter is amazing. I love the woman!! She is so sweet and she teaches the history more as a story than just book reading... I hated history before this class... but I really ended up getting into it with her. Take her if you are interested in learning... not just for an easy A.
Mrs. Carter is a very nice lady, but its time to retire! She knows the material so well that she can't fathom that we still don't know everything. Tests are the hardest i've ever had, and completely off the wall. i studied my butt of and only pulled a C! DO NOT TAKE!
Tests are mostly fill in the blank. You must memorize a lot of information for every test. Every test has 10-13 bonus points built in. I made an A on every test, but I studied hard. There were many As in our class and many bad grades. Quizes help boost points, and there is a bonus question on each. Carter is very old fashioned, but nice.
this class was pretty easy... there's a lot of notes and tests are all fill in the blank so you just have to memorize everything, but it's all pretty easy
Go to class, take really good notes. Memorize the lists she gives and study hard for tests and you'll do fine
VERY HARD!! DO NOT TAKE!! she is the hardest professor you will ever take. this is my first C in my undergraduate time.
She gives a lot of information to you and expects you to know a lot of information for one tests. If you love history you will be fine, but if you don't try someone else.
Very Nice lady! Gives you too many notes but do go to her reviews. Tests are easy as long as you study all the notes. Don't bother buying the big textbook. Easy A if you Try.
Awful, Lies about format of test and DOES NOT test on the material she covers in class. Gave us a review and only 3 of those questions were on the test. The rest of the test was stuff she never went over. I studied for three days and still had no clue on the test. She is not helpful and doesn't want anyone to pass her class & its gen ed.
AWESOME teacher! One of the nicest teacher I've every had. Loved going to her class. Easy, easy, easy. Lots of notes, but if you listen and study then you'll get an A.
I didn't enjoy the class. The material she says will be on the tests are not or she adds uncovered material. The amount of notes is almost ridiculous. I do admit she loves what she does though. I reccommend taking World Hist 2 since it covers up to modern times. The class is a bore for general ed. By the way, don't purchase the text book; No need.
She's a sweet person, but her tests are extremely hard and she gives way too much info at once
I loved her! Just write down everything she says and memorize it. Her tests are m/c, fill in the blank, some essay, everything, but she just looks for key words. I made a B in WHI and an A in WHII. Use the study guide she gives u. be ready for quizes.. they do really affect ur grade..
Don't buy the book, even if she tells you that you'll need it for reading assignments.you're going to be overwhelmed with tons of useless information and she adds things to the test when she doesn't give notes for it. this is a very difficult class because she doesn't help you if try to show her anything about a grade when she made the mistake
Don't buy the text book because you won't use it at all. Be prepared to take quizzes at least once a week. Read your notes daily because the test come from the notes. The test are fill in the blank, some matching, and essay questions. If you read and review your notes you will do ok.
She is a crazy old lady. Gives out good "verbal" notes so you have to write fast. but tests come from notes ( be sure you know names ..all the names). Her grading is alittle unorthadox but other than that its a good informative class. No need to buy the book.
She is sweet. If you go to class and take notes you will do fine. Do not waste your time buying the book, we didn't even use the primary source reader but one time, and you could have shared. She gives you an outline of notes in a book she types up. All you have to do is elaborate. Quizes are easy.
Great lady gives a lot of notes, but has a out line for you to look at to see when she is telling you things that is not going to be on the test. very nice and helpful if you like history you will do great in her class! gives quizes and drops 3 uses the voices writting book. "test hint: study the lists of things. small and large."
She gives you alot of information even though alot of it you don't use. Watch out for the test!
You take a lot of notes and the tests are challenging so study your notes. She talks very slow so sitting through class can be painful. She loves the people that talk to her about her life. I've learned a lot and she's easy enough.
The class is boring, take alot of notes, test are hard! Not an easy class, especially if you have trouble memorizing names.
Be prepared to take lots of notes. Shes a great, sweet old lady. Tests are challenging. You really have to study and memorize because she does not believe in multiple choice. If you study hard for your tests and quizzes, it's an easy A. Be prepared to study and put time into the class, or you will not do well.
One of the best professors that I've ever had. You have to study for this class, but it is all worth it in the end. Mrs. Carter is willing to help you at anytime, and she is a very sweet lady. I absolutely love her!! Take this class!
Mrs. Carter is a sweet lady who loves history and kids. The class is a lot of note taking (i would suggest laptops if you write slow) there are about 3 Exams(matching, ID,Essay, sometimes a t/f) a few writing assignments(always <1page)and quizzes. Attendance is key to getting the material down-Nothing can quite substitute hearing the lectures
mrs.carter is great. you do take lots of notes though. she gives quizzes, 4 test, and a couple of 1 page pappers. nothing extemely hard, but you do have to STUDYfor the test or you will fail.
Can someone please check this lady into the nursing home... Good luck with her.. Tests are very difficult. all matching and fill in the blank. Takes lots of notes.. no extra credit. Gives quizes usually on Fridays cuz ppl go out on thursdays.. She does drop a few though.. RUN. do not take her
As long as you are willing to work to memorize some dates and facts in history you should be fine in this class. You will never use the text book, you will have a few small paragraph writing assingments along with a few quizzes. You will know exactly what is on the test. She is so sweet and she is funny. She'll do anything to help you get an A
She is a sweet old lady, and the notes are clear, BUT do not miss class or get the notes if you do, because you will be completely lost! Just pay attention and it will be pretty easy. It's defiantly possible to cram the night before the test and make a good grade.
Horrid teacher, rude, boring lectures, HARD tests. Don't take her class.
Do not take her unless you have a background in History and are good at it. She talks very fast which makes it a little difficult to take notes, but she gives an outline which makes things go a bit smoother. She gives about 8 quizzes, 5 tests, and 3 writing assignments. Do not miss class unless you know someone you can get notes from.
All she does is talk the whole class period. She is very boring, all you get is an outline and a daily lecture and the book is pointless. You use the Voices book once or twice, and the only thing to study is her lecture that you have to try catch every word that she says.She gives large amounts of information that she expects us to remember.
Very sweet lady. talks whole class so you have to write fast, you can use laptops.Get the notes if you miss class!! gives about 8 quizzes but only keeps the 5 highest, 4 tests, and 3 papers. the papers have to be less than two pages so they are fairly easy. you can study the night before and still make an A or B it's just alot to memorize!
Mrs. Carter is a sweet older lady. Takes attendance everyday. Gives oral notes the entire period, lots and lots of notes, but study the notes and you will ACE the tests. Test have short answer, matching, and essay. 2 easy writing assignments, and a few quizes. Show up, take notes, study and you will make an A easily.
She comes off as a sweet old lady. But when you try to get help, if you aren't one of the favorites, she can be very rude. She lectures the whole time and you write pages of notes. Only use the book a couple times, not used for any tests. Her tests are hard and require a LOT of memorization. Hopefully you remember the right notes.
I had her for World history I and she was really easy! Her test come straight from her notes but its helpful to have the book incase you miss class. Attendence is required though. She gives around 6-9 quizes but lets you drop 2 at the end of the year. And her final is just a chapture test.
Go to class, take very good notes, do the homework, and study hard for the quizzes and tests and you will get an A.
Took her for world hist 2 and I'm gonna take her again for 1 because shes easy. Just go to class, take notes, and actually study what she gives you. I usually made close to 100 on the tests and if I studied, the same on the quizzes. only buy the voices book, or share if you can with even that one.
Sweet woman.She IS willing to help you but you have to go to her office(she cant read your mind).She will give up her lunch time to help you understand or catch you up on notes.Test require ALOT of memorization and consist of matching,multi choice an occasionally a short answer question.If you like history,even if you dont,she is highly recommended
Overall her class is easy, if you go to class. She tells you everything that's on the tests! The book isn't used much (except for the voices book). She lectures the whole class time, so you're writing notes the whole time, but this makes class go by very fast. I'm definitely taking her for WH1
She is a great professor! She is so nice, and her lectures are interesting. You have to take a lot of notes and really study for the tests to make a good grade. If you are better with remembering details from the notes, then I would definitely recommend her!
I've taken her for both World History I and II and by far is the best. Yes she is kinda mono toned and drags things out a bit. But its an easy C and thats if you weren't trying. She will drop 2-3 quizzes depending on how many she gives out throughout the semester. If you want a "easy" grade to boost up your GPA, take Carter!
If you're good at memorizing and cramming, this class is an easy A. It's quite a bit of material, but the tests come straight from the notes. DON'T BUY THE BOOK...save your money haha. You will need the voices book though because you use it for a few writing assignments. She is a little crazy and tends to forget things, but you should take her!
If you are the type of person who likes to memorize then this class is perfect. She gives you an outline of everything she'll talk about and if you memorize it, you're fine. It's a LOT of information though. Only buy the voices book, the other is a waste. She is very sweet and I'd take her again.
She is a wonderful person! But as a teacher she is horrible. Her class is HARD! Mrs. Carter talks and talks and talks she rambles a lot. There is no class participation. I leave her class with 4 & 5 Pages of notes each day! General Education shouldn't be this hard! I honestly think she should retire!
Sweet old lady! There are only 4 tests (final included), a couple of easy writing assignments, and a few quizzes. As long as you take notes, then it is an easy A since her tests are mostly matching and fill in the blank. Just memorize people and places and this class will be a breeze!
One of my favorite teachers. You really have to study hard for her tests. Showing up is a must... otherwise you will miss pages and pages of notes.
Dr. Carter is very sweet and obviously cares a lot about her students. As long as you show up to class and take notes, the class is a breeze. You really don't need to buy the textbook reader; I didn't use it. The Journey book for the few writing assignments was the only book I found useful.
Taking notes is very important in her class, very nice teacher. And the test isn't very hard.
She is an amazing person, but her class is extremely hard. You have to be there every day to take a very large amount of notes. When she gives a quiz she asks the questions outloud-you dont have a quiz in front of you to read and she moves very fast. Her tests are extremely hard. You have to remember EVERYTHING, which is impossible.
Sweet woman but this class requires A LOT of studying. She gives you an outline and lectures off of that. That's all you need to know for the tests so don't waste your money on a book. All tests are fill in the blank and essay. You have to know practically everything she's said in class. If you're willing to put in the time to study, take her.
Carter is a very helpful person, however her teaching method was difficult for me. She tends to just talk and you're expected to write down pages and pages of notes each class and you never know what you will actually be tested on. Easy writing assignments, easy quizzes, HARD tests due to the tons of information. Doesn't really follow her outline.
Do not bother buying text book. TONS of notes, and plan on knowing the entire outline, quizzes are easy if you study, and the 2 papers are a breeze. She gives only an outline for entire class, lectures only, not allowed to leave class and return. Talks very fast and expects you to know how to spell impossible names
Very nice lady but some hard test. not multiple choice, hand written test, but she gives you all the answers to all the questions if you just study!
Some of these comments are ridiculous. If you study your outline, you make an A! It really is that simple, because the entirety of her tests are from the outlines. She also gives loads of time in between tests and lest you know when they are at least 2 class periods ahead of time.
