Awesome teacher! Had to read 2/3 novels assigned (easy reading), 1 class textbook. Everything that is on quizzes & MT/Final is lectured, so go to class!Be prepared for short answers & essay questions, no multiple choice. She is very direct on what she wants, practically hand-feeding you the answers! Offers LOTS of Extra Cred! :)

Easy class. Next to no homework or reading (some was assigned but canceled after I read it). Most classes ran short by at least a half hour. Tells you exactly what to study for the few (easy) tests and quizzes. Lots of EC. The only reason I didn't get every point in the class was because I forgot about a take home quiz. Has taken attendance quiz.

This was a somewhat easy class. If you actually try over the course of the semester, and you check your grade, you may not be satisfied. But when she actually puts in all your points at the end, you'll get an A -- that is, if you even put in the slightest effort. But to be honest, I learned nearly nothing from her. But it's a good GPA-booster.

If you want an ACTUAL EDUCATION of fourth grade history, pick another teacher. Yes, she was super easy but that was because she RARELY showed up to class, never graded anything, barely talk about what you read and zero guidelines on lesson plans. She knows nothing about being an elementary school teacher, NOTHING. Waste of my and her time.

Anderson tries to give lectures based on the underbelly of history. She prefers to talk about some of the less commonly known aspects. There were only 5 or so quizzes. One was a pop quiz, but there was a little warning the previous class. Midterm and final are about the same length as the quizzes, and they are all fairly easy. Attend class!

Her class is fairly easy however it is time consuming, most of your grade is inquisitives which you have weekly which take the most time. As well as you have to read The Jungle. Both the Final and Midterm are essays revolving around 2-3 questions. And there is an extra weekly assignment which can differ. And dont buy your textbook before class.

She was awesome and very kind. These reviews are not lying. She does give heavy amounts of work at times but it is manageable when you sit down and do it. Easy assignments but for midterms, prepare a few days before writing. Fairly easy, had a 99 the entire semester.

Professor Anderson manages to make a boring class interesting. Very understanding if you actually respect her & class isn't a stressful environment. All grades based off of writing assignments. Prepare to write a paper roughly every other week. Not a tough grader if you actually do the work (which many don't). Write the papers on time and get an A.

She was an amazing prof. Her assignments have very clear outlines and if you need clarification she is more than willing to explain. The final was a 3-5 page paper. Make sure to attend lectures, they're mandatory. Aside from that you'll never be falling asleep in class that's for sure.

Great professor & person. Made class very enjoyable. Groupwork entire semester, one group presentation. Textbook required, but used very little (needed for midterm). No lectures, discussion heavy. Attendance is graded for points. One final paper. Easy class, but grades a bit hard if you don't put in effort, she can tell. Gives good feedback.

The class lectures were pretty boring and almost everyone was on their phones the whole semester but it was okay. I did bad on the final so that was on me but the class is okay.

I don't usually like history classes, but this is one of the easiest ones I've taken as long as you attend class. There are four pop quizzes but they are easy.

Took Prof. Anderson for hist10, honestly such an easy A and I actually looked forward to going to class. She puts us in groups in the beginning of the semester so lots of group work. The midterm is what got some ppl but just read the critical thinking book, she tells us the questions beforehand too so I you study those beforehand you'll be fine

Attendance isn't mandatory, but extra credit is given randomly for attending class. Online assignments are easy, and there are generally two per week. Quizzes are all pop quizzes, but are generally easy if you've been attending class. Exams boil down to defining vocabulary terms in the historical era(s) currently being discussed in class.

Bro WHAT. Whoever is saying she was funny is the biggest cap I have EVER seen. I did not laugh once in this class it was just boring. no one participated in my class, I think lectures would've been way better I'm ngl. She also for some reason always picked on me when people didn't participate. It's like she didn't like me at all as a student. AVOID

she's great; you should take her -- for me, it was for the GE requirement. she makes it, exceptionally, easy to get an A in this class. like everybody below has said, it's all still true (in terms of how grading works). her focus is social history, emphasis on women's history and liberation movements.

Professor Anderson is a good professor and gives not that many assignments a week. This class does require doing the weekly readings that are used for the assignments so stay on top of the readings. Midterm and final are essays and gives you a full week to do them and give good feedback on assignments. Stay on top of the work and you will pass.

I had her online class and it was fairly easy. A few discussion boards and quizzes that you can retake as much as you want. Midterm & Final were both short essay questions that weren't too bad. Readings were dense but she was a pretty lenient grader, so just make sure to cite your sources and be specific with your examples and you should be fine.

She's an awesome professor it's the second time I've had one of her classes. Attendance is not mandatory but the tests are based on the lectures so, if you don't want to fail the blue/green book midterm and final you should go. Not too much homework due on Sundays. Always knows how to make a lecture interesting. The textbook is just a book

She isn't the worst. However, I find her to be snarky and rude at times. She calls people out in front of everyone, sometimes when they don't even deserve it. She also gives random pop quizzes and expects you to write an entire page based on whatever topic she picks, and you only have the last few minutes of class to finish it. Overall OK.
