This class is great and you actually learn something. She is excited about history, has a great personality and tells the story well. You HAVE to go to her classes, its the only way to pass the class. Buying the book isn't even necessary just listen to her and take good notes. Only 3 tests the whole semster. I enjoyed her class thoroughly.

This class was boring but she tried to make it sound exciting, but overall good teacher. You only get 3 tests the whole semester! and make sure u study the studyguide and do the online practice questions with them!

GREAT TEACHING SKILLS

If you have to take history, take her! Not only is the class a no brainer, she actually puts history into a perspective that is understood by college students. The writing assignments are a little tedious, but easy A's. I am taking her again for 1020.

a wonderful professor with a heart of gold and a body to kill! i hope everyone takes her class! she was awesome!

She isn't a bad teacher, but I found her lectures very unorganized. She repeats herself and spends a lot of time saying what she is "going" to talk about, so you're never sure when to start taking notes. I'm doing very well but she says the average grade on her tests is in 70s. Never used the "big book", but need the other one for tedious essays.

History is definitely my worst subject, but this class wasn't bad at all. I found her lectures to be pretty interesting although sometimes she was a bit unorganized. She is definitely there to help you outside of class if you need it and her tests are pretty straight forward, just come to the lectures and take good notes.

This is an easy class if you take the effort. Read the articles, write the essays, take good notes(which means attending classes!) and you should get an 'A'. The majority of her tests are from lecture material, but don't forget to look over the book.

Great teacher and lecturer. Classes are not mandatory but you have no chance of passing if you don't go. What she talks about during lecture is what's on the test. I'm a bit of a history buff so the class was easy for me, but others seemed to struggle. If you just pay attention she often repeats the important stuff and you will pass though.

She's Great! Just Do The Essay And Follow The Review Sheet.

Manly, which can be distracting at times. Lectures are extremely long. Studying for tests are is a must, as well as reading. She definitely knows her history; if you don't mind lectures you'll love her.

The class is not bad at all. take good notes and You'll be fine. the essays are easy as long as u read the articles. She's passionate about history and makes it interesting.

IF YOU ARE A GOOD WRITER THIS CLASS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Big essays and tests. Thats all you do in the class. As long as you read the articles and write nice papers, you can get C's and D's on the scantron tests and still pass with flying colors.

SHE IS GREAT. I had a great time in that class. she teaches well. Make sure you are there mostly everyday because she does lecture on the important stuff. Essays were easy. Just a word of advice make sure you dont use to muchs "I"s in essays. you lose points for those. She made history interesting which is what every teacher should do.

Teacher is great. Just a lecture class with essays to write and some test. Word of advice what she repeats you should write. Im not great at history but had gotten perfect 5's on her essays. PLEASE TAKE HER!!!!! ESSAY A OR B.

She's an awesome history teacher - incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. She also allowed for creativity in our group projects. Definitely take her!

The most amazing teacher I have ever had. She has a really cool method of teaching and made my first semester awesome. You need to show up and there are 6 in class essays but it really is easy. Don't waste your time if history doesn't interest you. However,if you enjoy history you'll love this professor.

most amazing professor. take her if you can. classes fill quick

I LOVE THIS TEACHER. Her essays were easy. Just in case you did not read below this comment she does have 6 essays but they are easy just listen to her lecture and it is a breeze. Her lectures were not boring and she used her own method of teaching.Highly recommend because she is just that great.

Awesome teacher. very helpful when answering questions. Made class fun

listen to what she says and earn a c or b on tests and do good on all essays and you will pass great teacher she also teaches amilitary history class i reconmend taking her as a teacher!

you have to go to class everything she lectures on is going to be on the test. she is really easy to listen so just take good notes. and the in class essays arent bad. anyone who dropped this class probably didnt show up to the lectures or didnt study.

She is GREAT. She is very thorough during lectures. The class is a combo of 3 test and 6 in class essays.For the essays you have to read 3 10-15 page articles and take a page of notes on each. Then she picks article for you to write an essay on. She drops one essay. The test are 50 questions, all multiple choice. Take good notes.

Made the material SO AWESOME. I have heard horror stories about her, but as long as you take good notes on the articles, and on the study guides, your grade is fine. She is absolutely hilarious and attendance is everything!

This class is good, but you have to put the work in. It's really important you attend each class because a lot of what she says is on the test. It's true you have to write 6 essays but they are only 5% of you overall grade. She lectures are clear and planned out. She definitely know her history. Take this class

Dr.Seiler knows her history. The 6 in class essays are 25% of your grade, but she'll drop your lowest scored one. Grades are based on attendance, midterm, essays and final. Very animated and loves lecturing on wars. Loved this class

I took this class along with Calc 2, Physics, and Ethics. It's not as much work as people say. If you can't handle the workload, you don't belong in college. She is crystal clear on what she expects. I spent 3 hours max prepping for each in-class essay and about 3 hours studying for each test. Got an A. Stop whining people and do some work.

if you can't write an essay don't take this class. The easiest way to get an A is to do well on your essays, the 5 pharagraph essay gets you the best grade. Take notes, study, and practice, she gives the possible essay topics and allows you to make a page of notes for each one. She expects work, but lets face it, this is college!

I took Professor Seiler for both American History 1&2. I still remember her classes and loved every minute. Yes she is stickler for attendance but it's for your own benefit. The in class essays aren't all that bad especially if you've already taken college english. Really knows history and how to teach it. Definitely take her class.

prepare for: buying multiple text books(2), biweekly to weekly essays(6), listen to lectures, will give study guides for tests(3) includes final. more studying then class work.

Great teacher. Anyone who says otherwise is either lazy and not willing to put forth effort, or illiterate and failed all of the essays. Lots of reading and writing for this class, but you will learn plenty if you pay attention. If you can't write well or handle the workload, you shouldn't be in college anyway.

I've taken her class and enjoyed it. Her lectures are long but when someone knows what they're talking about, lengthy lectures are expected. Notes allowed on essay days. Study guides provided for test. Her lectures align with information in text book- if you read it. Boring if you're 18 and don't care to study or pay attn. Be ready to learn!!

AWESOME TEACHER.

Great teacher, kind and organized

Great teacher. Always there to help; loved this class.

Really good teacher, keeps political bias minimal and helps students with chronology by reminding them to think of it as a story. Attendance started out as a mandatory thing, but for some reason she stopped taking attendance. Would definitely recommend this instructor.

Quite possibly one of the most knowledgeable history teachers I've ever had. She knew the material inside and out, told you on a regular basis what you need to know for the tests and kept it interesting. Only 4 grades counting for 25% of your grade each makes this class not for the faint hearted. Looking for an easy A? Don't take this class.

First time doing Euro History, so 90% of the info was brand new to me. Seemed accessible for questions. I didn't like the Cengage that much, but it's just a text w/ question and answers, typical I guess. No discussions, kind of disappointed about that. Exams were easy if you passed your quizzes - essay was just a synopsis of the chapters.

Fairly easy class. She likes to focus more on the effects of people and policy's rather than small details like dates. Had to write 4 essays based on articles in the book but we could bring notes for them. The tests were difficult but if you complete the review she posts its not too hard.

Professor Seiler's class wasn't always easy. The work assigned through the online textbook was, but there was a lot of studying to be done for each exam, and there are only three throughout the course, worth 20% of your grade. You can manage some extra credit through your essay on each exam though. Very understanding teacher, difficult exams!

I really enjoyed this class. The way her homework was set up, if you put in the time, you could have an 100% on all assignments. The tests did include an essay, which was a good chunk of the grade, but with the number of prompts to choose from, if you studied well for the multiple choice, the paper was not super difficult. Study those key terms!

She is a passionate and makes history engaging. Attendance isn't required, and she creates a relaxed class atmosphere—students ask questions. No essays and only three exams, plus adaptability we had 2 hurricanes! She ensures a manageable, enjoyable course. Highly recommended!

My favorite professor at HCC.The tests match up with exactly what she talks about in her lectures (show up take good notes) there is small written response portion of the test, you have 3 to 4 different topics to pick from and really if you just put down as much as you can about what she talks about in class, she will give you a good grade on it.

Dr. Seiler is an extremely straight-forward woman. She really cares about the success of her students. While there are weekly assignments, they do not take very long and it's easy to get a 100% on them. If you need help, there are lots of quizlets with information. Tests have 35 MC questions and an essay with MULTIPLE options to pick from.

I honestly have nothing but amazing things to say about Dr. Seiler. If you do the work which is honestly 2-4 assignments per week and take time to understand the reading you will succeed. She cares about her students and her lectures were well explained and straight to the point. I am not a fan of history but enjoyed her class very much.
