As long as you don't ever miss class and take lots of notes, it's an easy class. All of the material comes from notes. There are readings but no text book. She's very interesting and knows her stuff.

She is very animated and has very interesting stories.I would suggest you take lots of notes and go to every class or you will miss something important. 3tests,6 quizzes and she drops the lowest quiz score, and 1 culmative quiz if needed for better grade.

great class...great teacher

Very easy! You have to come to class everyday and take rigorous notes! Tests and quizes are very easy! You have to study a bit though to brush up on topics! Easy essay grader (only one!).

Good teacher; very animated; need to take tons of notes; lectures are like stories; knows her stuff

AWESOME TEACHER!! KNOWS HER STUFF!!!!

She is a very interesting lady but great teacher. I took 2 of her classes and passed them with breeze. I left early alot and didnt take great notes and still easily passed. The tests are not easy but by no means hard. Two thumbs up 2 this teacher.;

She definitely knows her stuff, the tests reflect the material pretty well, just make sure you read the books required. She's really funny when she stares of into space or the whole in the 141 tiled ceiling. Fair grading, don't miss a class.

Loved her! She is so interesting, and unboring. I really liked the books she assigned to read. I learned tons, she is a top teacher at moorpark.

Wonderfull teacher! She is so spunky. This is a great class if you dont want a boring monotone person. I would recomend her

I loved this class, which means a lot considering that I hate history.

Best teacher at Moorpark! She knows a lot about the subject and some behind-the-scenes stuff too. Very energetic and gets the class interested. Always willing to help. Even the guys enjoyed the class! Take it for sure!

Interesting woman, good teacher. Took her for California and Women's history. Tests come STRAIGHT from the notes. She tells really good stories.

She is really interesting. The class is really easy all you have to do is show up half the time and read the books she has you get. The quizzes and tests are really to the books and class notes its a total breeze and she makes history interesting. Good class

Great prof!! Love her like she's one of my family- like she's my great aunt or something!! Highly recommended!! Take her classes!!

Had her for both California and Women's history, great teacher.

amazing teacher. class is just like story time. very interesting and easy to pass. just listen and take notes.

ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE PROF's AROUND!!! so very interesting! be prepared to take notes and pay attention in class. makes the subject fun and very clear.

Easy class. Just attend and pay attention! I didn't even read the books and still got a B. Study for quizzes and tests and you will have no problem! Take good notes

Great interesting teacher. definitely recommend. i hate histiry but this was the first intersesting hist class i've had.

I normally hate history but she made this subject really clear and interesting! I strongly reccomend her class to anyone. It is easy, fun,and enjoyable! She is an excellent professor

Very unique. No dates are needed to memorize!! Her tests and quizzes come from stories she tells in class as well as assigned reading. Do not take Copsey if you are not a dedicated note taker. Fun and laid back class... highly recommended.

Good teacher. No reading or homework. But you need to show up to the class, it is all based on lecture/notes-- no book. If you show up and pay attention tests and quizzes will be easy!

No home work, no class work. Show up. sit, listen, take notes. then show up for test. No class work, no home work, just note taking, but fun to listen to.

one of the best teachers ever. i don't know how she fits all that knowledge in her head. She makes it really interesting.

She's a total riot. Very comedic and entertaining. She makes the history come to life. And most importantly no homework, easy tests and no memorizing dates. She even repeats old test questions on new tests. Just show up listen to the lecture or watch the movie. All tests mostly based on lecture, movies and a tiny bit from book. Great professor.

She's a little off the wall but her class is very easy and you actually learn something. Guys: this is a great place to meet chicks b/c that's who takes this class!

Had her for Hist of women and california. She makes the class one big story which is really cool, if you are interested in the topic. Very easy class, just listen to the lecture take notes and the tests and quizzes are easy. NO HW!!!

Took her for 3 history classes. She really knows what she's doing. Show up to class, listen, take notes, and don't be late or leave early. That makes her mad. Tests are way easy, straight from her lectures.

She is a wonderful, knowledgable teacher. Very clear lectures. But... No books. So you got to be fast writer to get all she says. Or just tape it, because everything she says is relevant. No date memorization. EAsy class if you take good notes and care to read them before quizes and test. Those who complain - are loosers,who should grow up!

Great Teacher, Easy A! Take Good Notes and study them. Its impossible to not do good in her class!

Interesting Lectures. Take notes and you will do fine. Also there is no homework.

Loved the Class. Another really good professor at MC!

She's goofy, but in a good way. Obviously VERY knowledgable. Her forte is lecturing, great at telling stories, silly noises. DO NOT miss a class for you need the notes...TAKE NOTES about EVERYTHING, they go right on the test material. Answered an email question almost immediately. I've learned some very interesting things abt CA.

Bahhhhhhhhh!!!!!

i really enjoyed this class, if you dont like to take notes dont take this class!she makes the subject really fun though and it is relativly easy just stay on top of things, no homework, have to read a couple books, but i ionly read one of the books and would study right before the test for a good 15 min and i got a B. she doesnt offer extra credit

I loved this class. It's like story time. Don't miss class, b/c u'll either come back the next time and have a quiz, or u'll have missed a chunk of notes. If you take the notes you'll get an A no prob. The quizzes are very easy, the tests a little more difficult. But if you study the notes you'll have no prob whatsoever. She's really cool.

I LOVED her class! it was always fun and easy to understand. Everything was spelled out, and the tests were extremely easy. Mrs. Copsey was always available for help, and she was always funny and loved to tell stories. Explaining child birth was the funniest thing EVER and I loved her random noises in stories. She knows what she's talking about.

THis class for the most part is easy, there is not text book so you have to show up to class or you will be lost. The topic is kind of boring (HIstory Of Cali). But it is an easy A or B. She makes annoying noises too.

Great teacher. Great Class. She is the text book. Copsey knows all of the back stories to really make the subject matter accessible, pertinent and interesting. One of the few classes where you actually retain everything after. Students who care about learning will love it. Those who aren't interested in their education won't.

If you go to class and take notes, you'll be fine. Everything is based on quizzes and tests and the information she gives during lectures is not available anywhere else. Honestly, I hated history before this class but I showed up, took notes, and got an A. She's a really entertaining teacher.

Had her for Women's History and U.S. History, one word, she is "AWESOME"

copsey is the best. she funnier than all hell. loves to make weird ass sounds. i loved her class. it was VERY easy to take notes, and the test were too. the best thing is that you dont need a text book. she has her own book thats cheap ass hell and thats all u need. i would def.take her again.

She is an amazing professor. All she does is tell funny, yet factual stories. The only thing you need to do is take good notes, follow her study guide study for 10 mins before a quiz/test. Easy A. Anyone who gets a C or lower in this class should be expelled. Noises are unique. Her stories are very easy to remember. Take all her classes for fun.

Tells interesting stories from a historical perspective, the tests are fair and multiple choice. Should attempt to read the other books though or you'll get 5 to 7 wrong on the test

I barely even try in that class and I still passed with an A. All you have to do is sit there for an hour, listen, and take notes. If you think this class is insanely difficult, clearly you belong in the access center with the rest of them.

I agree... if you can't Ace this class then I feel bad... The test questions are multiple choice and specific BUT she gives you ALL the answers in the lecture, and you're entertained the entire time because it's like you're listening to a story. As long as you show up and take notes EASY. Don't expect any help, it's not like you need it though...

She was great. Sometimes I did zone out, but most of the time her lecturing style kept me entertained. She lectures as if she were there first hand. She is an older woman, which I was not expecting, but she makes up for it with her enthusiasm and quirkyness in the classroom. Lecture notes are simple and straight forward,as are few tests and quizes.

Copsey is an AWESOME historian. Is balanced in presenting good and bad history. Her lectures are detailed with a lot of note taking. Read, take notes, show up and you will do well. Her stories are told as if she knew these people first hand.

i LOVED taking this class. must attend all class or you won't know whats on the test.

My favorite teacher at moorpark. Her lectures were extremely interesing; she teaches by telling stories. 3 tests, 6 quizzes, you can drop one quiz. You have to read three books but they are all interesting. Dont take this class if you dont plan to atend everyday. Otherwise I love her. she's amazing and as long as you study, you'll get an A.

Great class. Never uses a textbook. All lectures, so you must attend class. The tests are 70% of grade.. so you have to study. Really interesting, loves her subject. Really nice, and is there for you if you have questions. Have a friend in the class, so if absent you can use their notes. Loved American Women History--Recommend it!

this class was so funn! she says random things all the time but its fun. i really enjoyed the class. you need to go to class though because you dont have a text book, so everything comes from what she says. quizes and test are easy.

interesting subject, tests and quizes were a little difficult and some questions were not even mentioned in class, but still got a B.

I loved this class! I am a history major, but copsey always made you laugh. She has been around the block, and doesn't take****. Tests= 70% of grade. Quiz= 30% of grade. No essays... but the tests are hard. I studied ALOT! Must attend class, bc there is no book. Totally recommend.. I got a B

I thought she is a great teacher. Can tell she really likes the subject. Her style of teaching is like great story telling, she makes a clear picture. If you can't make a class, get the notes from someone else, but don't make it a habit and you can keep a C at least. Study a little more and pay attention to lectures and you can make a A easily.

No textbook, attendance is mandatory, she's funny and a little kooky- her sound effects kept me awake. she sits in front of the class and teaches by telling stories. they're interesting but when the test rolls around, whole different story! STUDY for the tests. they're hard. I liked her, I would probably take her again.

Prof Copsey rocks. She is a story teller, she makes weird noises...which are hilarious and sometimes kinda weird. Attendance is important since their is no textbook and quiz and test material are directly from her story telling.Material taught in this class is very informative and useful. It is a easy A if you take good notes and attend class.

Amazing teacher. Stories she tells in class are wonderful. Her tests aren't based on dates and numbers but rather on who did what. You must attend class and you must take notes. No dates to remember, no final and no textbooks. Before each test all you need to do is re read your notes!

this isn't just a class. it's like story time! just make sure you pay attention. no sleeping in her class. just listen to her stories and you'll retain all the information you need for her tests. one of the best, more informative, and literatly study-free classes i've ever taken.

Seriously not a hard class. You show up and listen to her and make sure you take notes because thats all you have for a reference. Just make sure you pay attention and read the books she assigns. The books are short usually about 200 pages easily read in a day. I got a B and I do not think i studied one time and I only read half the books.

Extremely easy class... just show up to class, listen to her stories... read 3 novels through the whole semester. I got a B even missing about 5 days of class.

womens history is a super breeze. the best part is that you dont have to rmeber dates. she goes by centuries. only a couple of books need to be read. stidied a bit before all tests and quizzes. NOT hard at allll. its more liek story time than history. i HATE history but she made me love her class and history.

Some test questions are really specific, but easy A if you pay attention to at least half of the lectures.

I would say the class is an "easy b." shes a little nutty, all u do is take notes non stop while she talks and clears her throat/makes wierd noises (take her ull know what i mean). some questions on tests arent clear and others are super specific. three big tests, 6 quizzes and thats it. all in all an ok class.

GREAT TEACHER! VERY EASY IF YOU GO TO CLASS AND JUST PAY ATTENTION TO HER STORIES AND TAKE GOOD NOTES. HER STORIES ARE ALSO MORE INTERESTING WHEN MAKES HER FUNNY EXPRESSIONS. NO EXPENSIVE TEXTBOOK NEEDED, SHE HAS HER OWN LITTLE BOOK THAT YOU CAN BUY IN THE SCHOOL BOOKSTORE THAT IS 5X CHEAPER. TESTS AND QUIZZES ARE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD.

she is a cool teacher if you like note & are GOOD at note taking. she walks into class, writes the outline on the board & immediately begins lecture, so if you can continuously write and follow, you'll like it! her quizzes are alright, i found that i would study a ton & miss some weird Q! Exams=the same way but much LONGER! easy if you study NOTES!

At first she's VERY..odd BUT as time goes by you catch onto her humor and realize her weird noises & faces are apart of it. Tests & quizzes very straight forward, won't test you on something she has covered. Just novels & a packet required however her lecture notes are the meat of the class, so make sure you're there, class is very auditory.

California History was an easy class. You read three novels set in California and a book she wrote herself, and are tested on them. The main portion of this class is her leactures (you're tested mainly on her lectures), so it's hard to miss a class. But take notes and you'll do fine. Easy class if you just want some credits. =)

This Class is pretty easy! She is very knowledgeable in her stuff. Questions on test are shuffled up a bit.

You should take this class. It is very clear and to the point, no BS. Has amazing hair!!! She's awsome and her sarcasm is great! Come to class everyday and take notes. The tests are based on those.

I am not very good at History and she makes it easy. There is no text book and going to class is not mandatory but if you dont u will miss the days notes and be behind since she just talks in class. But i recomend u take her she is one of my fav teachers!

This woman is a nut! But she's awesome. She lectures almost everyday, and on the days she doesn't we watch a movie. Her lectures aren't too bad. She knows how to make them upbeat. We didn't have to write any papers, just had to read 3 novels which were elementary-level reading. Overall, awesome professor. Take her class! SUPER interesting subject!

Absolutely LOVED her class. its like story time and yeah we read a couple of books but they're not hard at all and actually very interesting. She'll answer any questions you have and just make sure you show up to class and invest in a tape recorder everything is based off of lecture

Copsey is an AMAZING woman!You are really stupid not to take her. Do not judge her my her sound effects in the stories to think she is weird.She's only more animated than most people. Read the books and go to class!overall, one of Moorpark's finest!

She is a great prof! She can make some weird nosies at times but she explains everything in great detail. If you pay attention, take good notes, and read the books, its an easy A. She makes history interesting. Very knowledgable. Highly reccomended.

this lady was AMAZING!!! If you like listening to stories, then this class is for you. She is such a sweet old lady. She does make weird noises sometimes, but she's such a crack up. This class was like story time, and I always looked forward to it

This teacher is AMAZING! She teaches by telling stories and she defiantly gets into the story, which helps to get the whole class involved. The textbook for this class was a book that she made and there are only 6 quizzes and 3 exams. As long as you study, show up, and take notes, you are sure to pass!

Best teacher I have ever had. I loved her storytelling, it made history much easier to absorb. Quizzes were easy just as long as you attend class and read the books (which are great). I didn't really use the textbook, and I didn't study. You have to go to the classes though, otherwise you won't pass.

Class consists of her sitting in front of class telling stories (historical of course). Therefore, it is imperative that you go to class, much of what she tells is not in any textbook. Quizzes are easy if you go to class and do the assigned reading. Final and midterm aren't too bad either, just as long as you go to class.

She is a good teacher her class consists of her telling historical stories that directly relate to the reading so attendence is somewhat manditory because of that. Also she does required reading of a few small novels which i presonally didnt read and still passed. Definattly an easy class and somewhat interesting.
