Long lectures but makes class fun. If you study and do the work you'll get an A. If she sees you trying , she'll give you a boost.
She is the best history teacher I have had. Just make sure to study because there are very few grades in the class.
Whilst she only plugs in a few grades, this is a teacher that cares about your success! Dr. Dyer is very approachable and will help you with any problem you may be having. If she sees you trying and you do come to class, she'll always find ways to help boost your grade. Tells you exactly what notes you need. Great class!
Dr. Dyer is my favorite history teacher yet. She is willing to help you in anyway she can and has various extra credit opportunities. She truly cares about your success . She gives you all the notes you need to pass each test. She has a bubbly personality and is always so excited to teach history. I would definitely take another one of her classes.
Dr. Dyer is so amazing! She has a love for what she does, as well as her students. She has three tests (non-cumulative) and a paper (she gives you the one source). She's very into bumping up borderline students if you've been participating in class. I know I'm taking her for 1020. Highly recommended!!!
She is my favorite professor ever, I wish she taught every class I need to take. She has such a positive attitude and a passion for teaching. She cares about her students and if you make effort she will do everything to help you succeed. She is not just going to hand you an A, but you can earn it and she will help you in any way she can.
Dr. Dyer is an awesome teacher! She has a passion for what she does. Most history classes are hard to stay awake in, but her's is so interesting. I would absolutly reccomend taking any of her classes!
Very good teacher, planing on taking her for AMH1020. As long as you go to class and listen to her lectures. She doesn't put her power points on PAL so you have to copy down everything which is most likely going to be on the test. Only gives like 3 test so if you don't like to study don't take her.
This class was the highlight of my semester. It's extremely important to take detailed notes during the lecture/power-point. Take the time to see her during office hours for clarification on any of the materials.
Great teacher always gave hints for upcoming test and made the book review very easy to understand. Made history enjoyable
Dr. Dyer's class was the only class that I've ever looked forward to attending. Her love for the subject shows during her lectures, and it really makes the subject enjoyable.
Clearly loves to teach. Makes learning history much more fun and understandable. I've taken her for both AMH1010 and AMH1020. If I could take her class again I would Be sure to pay attention to key terms and you'll be just fine.
Horrible teacher - 4 grades in the whole semester, 3 are extremely difficult tests... DO not take her
Wish I could give her a 0/5.. Do not take
Dr. Dyer loves history and she is a great professor. There are three 50 question test and 1 research paper. The test are easy if you study. If you miss more than 3 classes your final grade will be lower. (Example: if you have a B but you missed 4 classes, your final grade will be a C)
Dr. Dyer is the best professor ever. Taking all her history classes because her classes are interesting and fun. Grading is straightforward and getting a good grade should not be hard as long as you work hard.
Dr. Dyer is the best professor at Polk State for AMH1020. She cares about each student and their grades. She will work for you if you're borderline. During lecture she tells you A LOT of test questions. She explains things so well that the tests are super easy and fly by. You should defiantly take Dr. Dyer!!
Dr. Dyer is an amazing and such an inspirational professor! She is so kind and her lectures are funny and entertaining!
Dr. Dyer is one of Polk State College's best professors! She truly cares about the topics of her lectures and always goes above and beyond to provide insight into historical events. Dr. Dyer is immensely qualified having taught at highly accredited institutions in Florida. I would definitely recommend taking her for any history courses!
Best professor I have ever had. She manages to make history fun during every lecture. Each day I look forward to coming to her class and learning something new. I would definitely go out of my way to take another one of her classes, even as a science major.
It's rare to get out of Dr. Dyer's class early, but that's not a bad thing. Her way of teaching is very interactive and she's happy to expand on any area if you ask about it. That said, you don't have to like history to take Dyer. Her tests are all multiple choice, she hints at test questions, and gives an extra credit opportunity. Wonderful prof.!
Dr. Dyer is a wonderful professor. Her lectures are informative and interesting. There are three exams and a paper. Her class is organized and very clear so due dates or exam days will never catch you by surprise. She is passionate and extremely knowledgeable on this subject.
I'm not necessarily a history person, but Dr. Dyer knows how to make it comprehensible by turning it into a story.
I have had Dawn M. Dyer for three different classes already and they have all been great. She sets out a plan of 3 tests and a research paper for the semester. All you have to do is listen to her lecture, take notes, and study them for the test. Easy A if you work for it.
Dr. Dyer is one of the most passionate teachers I have ever had. The tests are not too difficult if you take notes. Her lectures are interesting and make you enjoy history.
Dyer is a wonderful professor. She makes the lectures fun and engaging. I have never been a history person but dyer makes history interesting. One of the best history professors I have ever had. Take notes and pay attention and you will do well. Highly recommend this class if you are interested in history or an elective credit.
I have taken two of Dr. Dyer's classes... it is always fun to be a part of her lectures. She is very passionate about history and makes learning exciting! If you show up and pay attention, you will pass. Dr. Dyer's classes has a very light workload as well. I highly recommend taking any of her courses.
Dr. Dyer is great and really helps you with everything throughout the class!
Dr. Dyer is one of the best teachers. I have taken two classes with her and I would take more if I could. As long as you take notes and show up to class you will pass this class. She is so passionate about history and now I love history because of her. She is so helpful and would 100% recommend taking her class.
Dr. Dyer is one of my favorite professors! She's always happy and willing to help students. She has no problem bumping grades if you did what you were supposed to the whole year. You only need the textbook for the research paper, other than that take notes and you're good!
I took Professor Dyer for both AMH1010 and AMH1020 she's an amazing professor. However, if you don't attend her class for lectures you will fail. She is willing to help you understand whatever you need help with and emails back quickly to her students.
Dr. Dyer is an amazing professor! She really cares about each and every student she has and Dr. Dyer helps every student to do well. She lectures each class period, but is engaging and entertaining!
I have had the privilege of taking Doctor Dyer for AMH1010, AMH1020, and WOH1022. She is the most caring, enthusiastic, and genuine professor I know and truly makes everyones day better with her enthusiastic demeanor. If you are responsible, take notes, and study the key terms before the test you will easily ace it. PLEASE TAKE BEST TEACHER EVER!
One of the best professors I have. Filled with passion about the class. She makes learning about history fun and interesting. Very energetic class that never gets boring.
Dr. Dyer is the best professor Ive had, and I wish all of my professors were like her. She LOVES history and will go in depth on necessary topics. She answers emails quickly and is always willing to help out in person or to just meet and talk about history. Her class is not hard if you pay attention to her powerpoints and take notes.
Dr. Dyer is the best professor at Polk State College, it truly is a privilege to be able to take American History with this incredible woman. She makes what can be one of the most boring subjects to someone, exciting. Super fye, 10/10
Dr. Dyer loves her job thats for sure. She is super passionate about history and wants everyone to walk out of the class loving it too. She is the best history teacher I've had so far. Just pay attention class, write good notes on the powerpoint and what she says and you will do good on the tests. THE REVIEWS HELP FOR THE TESTS! DO THEM!
I had Dr. Dyer for this past semester, and I'm taking her for the next spring, and the following fall because I love her so much. She's kind, awesome, amazing, and is always so willing to help. If you can get her, I hardcore recommend her. I've always sort of liked history, but Dr. Dyer's enthusiasm and caring is super inspirational.
She is an amazing teacher, I love how enthusiastic she is with teaching history! There are only like 3 test and they based on all the slides in the lectures. It is very easy if you study and don't procrastinate like I did. But she gives some extra credit opportunities and will work with you on your grade. I am taking her again for WOH1012.
Dr. Dyer's passion for he students and history shows! Highly recommended
You could definitely tell she is enthusiastic about history. There are only 3 tests and 2 quizzes. The lectures aren't boring which is a good thing. Beware there is a research paper, but she offers help and tons of time to do it. I highly recommend her for your social science credits.
BEST PROFFESSOR IN THE WORLD!! very enthusiastic about what she teaches, and always understands students and give them many opportunities to raise their grade. if you don't take this teacher for any history course at polk state college I feel bad for you.
Dr. Dyer really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Her tests are easy so long as you pay attention and study. She doesn't grade her papers harshly, just look through the requirements, follow them, and it will be fine. She loves what she teaches and makes you look at history from a different perspective. Would take her again!
Dr. Dyer has been the best history professor I have ever had. She is very passionate about what she is teaching and allows all of their student to have their own perspective on historical events. There aren't many assignments - 3 tests, 2 quiz, and 1 paper. The tests and quiz are all multiple choice. Awesome class and professor
The best professor Ive ever had. Definitely cares about her students a lot and wants them to succeed, reasonable amount of work and you actually learn during lectures because she makes it understandable and fun!
Dr. Dyer is an excellent professor who I would take take endlessly. She is immensely passionate about her area of study and never ceases to amaze me with her expansive knowledge on the subject. I took her for two semesters and she has honestly even the best professor I have had the honor of taking. I miss her class more than words could express!
Dr. Dawn Dyer is an extraordinary human being and educator. Take her class!
I wish I could put more than three tags! Dr. Dyer is one of the best professors I've Ever had, and I don't say that lightly. She grades by a few things, but will basically give you the answers to the tests and quizzes if you pay attention and come to Rho Kappa meetings. Rumors are that shes teaching women's history spring 2019 too, so...
Dr. Dyer is a phenomenal professor! She cares for her students more than anything and will do anything to help them pass if you're putting in effort too. She's a greta mentor and an amazing person inside and out. Definitely take her for literally anything!!
Her test are very hard but taking her class is worth the extra study time. She offers multiple opportunities for extra credit and amazing study sessions before all the exams. She really loves history and enjoys her job. Shes a great professor and person.
Dr. DYer is a lovely teacher and you'll learn in her class. It's a few tests and one very short research paper. She'll talk to you about the course after class and ecourages class participation. However, her world history class is mostly a Euro history class, but she'll let you leave europe for your research paper.
I love Dr. Dyer. She is honestly the best professor I've ever had, and I highly recommend her. I took this to take her again, and she inspired me to go into my major. She has a bunch of small extra credit and holds study groups for all of her classes (that basically give the test away). Only thing is there are 3 tests and that's it, no other grades
Dr. Dyer is one of the easiest classes I have ever been in. There are only 3 test and a research paper for the class so you have to work hard. However, she will willingly bump up your grade if you are borderline and have done well throughout the course. Also attendance is important. Would recommend to anyone!
Excellent teacher and very nice. She is very passionate about history and makes her lectures easy to follow. Graded by 3 tests, 1 research paper, and lots of extra credit oppurtunities. If you are taking AMH for Collegiate, take Dyer.
Professor Dyer is ONE OF THE BEST Professors I have ever had. I had just started a new job which was stressful enough & Professor Dyer helped me through it. She took the time to answer any questions I had. Her love of history showed everything's toy walked in her class. Thank you Professor and know that if I could take your class again I would. ��
Professor Dyer is by far the best professor I have come in contact with at Polk State College. She is very quick to happily assist you with any questions. She is a professor that truly cares about you and wants to see you succeed. Her grading requirements are very straight forward and easy. I would definitely take another course with her no doubt!
Dr. Dyer is an amazing professor!!! All of her tests come straight from the powerpoint lectures. Take good notes and study them and you'll have an easy A. She goes above and beyond to prepare you by giving a lot of background and trying to make history a story that all ties together. She is very bubbly and kind, an amazing person all around!!!
This professor was amazing. Her lectures were very clear and had everything you would find on your tests. Your grade is based mostly on tests and a research paper, but you also have three open note quizzes and a few extra credit opportunities. The tests are easy if you take notes and study them, and the paper is easy, just don't procrastinate.
Dr. Dyer is a great professor. I took here online and for the most part the work was plain and simple: take notes in the zoom meetings and have 3-question, multiple choice, textbook hw.
Dr. Dyer is a great professor and is passionate about her history topic, which makes me encouraged and engaged during her lectures. If you don't learn by visuals and following along, I don't fully recommend, but she somehow makes it interesting and easy to follow! I really enjoyed her class! Study guides she makes for tests and you'll do great!
I took professor Dyer's humanities course and loved it! The amount of work assigned each week is very manageable and easy to stay on top of. You have to do one research paper, but she lays everything out well and gives a lot of resources to reference. The work and videos she gives are actually interesting, plus there's no final!
I took the class online and the only bad thing about the class is that all of the work is based on the textbook. Little involvement with the professor other than the weekly announcements. There is 1 chicago styled paper you will have to complete but she gives you plenty of time to do it. She's nice and answers emails relatively quick.
One of the best professor I've ever had. While we did not have as many in-person classes as I would have liked, every time I did see her she'd somehow be even more kind and caring than the last. Truly an amazing professor, 1000000000/10 would recommend.
A Professor makes all the difference. Professor Dyer has the class so well organized it made it easy for me to work, take care of my dad and study. Her questions were not skill and drill but thought provoking. One major paper at the end of the semester that I could research all term long was AMAZING. Her feedback was generous in form and content.
I absolutely loved Dr. Dyer's classes! I took her for both Humanities and for AMH1020. She is the most caring person you will come across anywhere in Polk state! Her class is very easy as long as you take good notes and complete the study guides!
Dr. Dyer is a great teacher, as long as you take the time to listen during her lectures and take good notes you will excel in her class. Tests are about notes, so notes are very important. She tells you what is necessary to write down.
Dr. Dyer is such a light in the world of professors. She is a wonderful person both inside and outside of the class. Her lectures provide more than enough information for all of the tests in addition to being interesting and engaging. Her care and support for her students goes far beyond the classroom and her main focus is undoubtedly your success.
I've had two classes with Dr. Dyer. Ultimately, she is indeed an outstanding instructor who is enthusiastic about her subject. Yes, she gives lectures, but she makes them enjoyable and fascinating, more like a story through history than just "what it is". She is devoted to her students outside of the classroom and is always willing and able to help
She is an outstanding lecturer who is passionate about her subject. Outside of the classroom, she is committed to her students and is always available and able to assist you.
This class was very simple. Just read the text, take the quizzes, and complete one research paper. Professor Dyer was always willing to help and nothing about this course was set up to trick students.
The grading criteria was very straight forward, follow the syllabus and you'll do great. Study for the quizzes as they are a good part of your grade, if you read the chapters they are very possible to get an A on every time if not B. Other than that there was a research paper that took a few days to fully complete but the rubric was very clear.
Dr. Dyer has to be one of the most amazing professors I've ever had. Her energy for lectures are unmatched and make them retainable and interesting. She is really understanding and the course work isn't terrible, its a typical weekly work for her class. Literally a 10/10
Love her. Just love her. She is sweet and understanding, what else can we ask for? And she is just so bubbly, like she makes u happy your there, and her passion for history is amazing.
Dr. Dyer is seriously brilliant. She cares deeply about her students and is an incredibly great lecturer. Her tests are fair and the textbook is digestable.
Dr. Dyer is such a sweet teacher, she was a blessing all year! Her online weekly quizzes are super easy and she gives plenty of time and clear directions for the one research paper due during the semester. Her love of history is infectious! She is so bubbly all the time and despite any complications, she always gets back up. I love her positivity
Dr. Dyer was one of the kindest professors I've had! She cares about her students not only academically, but individually. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, she will gladly take time out of her day to discuss with you. History has never been my favorite subject, but her teaching style made me excited to show up to class everyday!
Phenomenal teacher, is very motivating and very supportive and will correct/help you in. Is patient and loves participation and interaction.
She is a great teacher. Teaches primarily from powerpoint but plays engaging videos to go alongside lesson material. Overall, this class was interesting! Dr. Dyer is very communicative and helpful. Would 100% take her again!
I loved Dyer's class structure. I had her for AMH1010 and AMH1020 and it was pretty easy to understand her grading style. There is only one research paper, three tests, and some quizzes. Make sure to not procrastinate on the research paper and if you study the key terms, you'll do fine on the test.
Dr. Dyer is an amazing professor! I had her for both of her AMH classes. She is very kind and understanding, and always shows up to class ready to lecture. It is easy to tell that she loves her job. Her lectures are interesting and I've learned a lot from her. Make sure to do the study guides before the tests, and you'll be good to go!
Only grades were 1 paper/ 3 test that covered around 4 chapters. Only information given was listening to lectures every single class and having to consume everything. Many extra credit meeting helped even this out, STRONGLY ADVISE TO ATTEND!! If you do not go to the meetings and dont ace the test you will not pass.
This Professor is one of the few good ones who enjoy teaching. Both AMH 1010 and 1020 are easy with 4-5 exams and a term paper. Lectures are very thorough and easy to memorize. Also provides study guides and examples for assignments. Would definitely take this teacher.
Dr. Dyer is a joy to listen to, because you can tell she tru
Dr. Dyer is a joy to listen to, because you can tell she genuinely cares and is interested in not only her students, but the subject she teaches. Just by observing you can tell she enjoys teaching, and this makes her lectures interesting and in depth. She is never without a smile, and is constantly ready to help and support you on every step.
Dr.Dyer was an amazing person and educator. I strongly advise that if you're in her class, review your notes, make flash cards, and use her lecture/test reviews. Her tests were challenging, you need to study. It is required that you show up for class and take notes, or you will risk falling behind or even being dropped from the class. Good luck!
Professor Dawn Dyer is amazing! She is quick to respond to any questions and provide support when needed. Her class is very easy to navigate with clear instructions and guidelines for every assignment. There is plenty of time to complete each assignment and if you use the material provided, passing is no problem.
