Take lots of notes and read the book. Broad tests that cover random things; be prepared and study & youll be fine. She also gives a vocab list + a map of the geography section before every test. A 4 pt bonus on every test and with good attendance you can get a 2 pt curve on your avg. Take Dr.B!

Dr. Bohannan is a very interesting lecturer...I hated history until I took her, she makes it interesting.

Her tests aren't easy, but if you write everything down she says in class, read the pages she tells you, and review the maps you should make at least a B in her class.

4 tests and attendance grade. Her lectures are amazing so i wouldn't recommend skipping. Her exams are 80% from her lecture and 20% from the book. But i would recommend only knowing the bold words. Just read over your notes over and over again and the exam will be easy. It's a lot of notes but its so interesting. I'd def recommend her for history

Loved Dr. Bohanan. Her tests are pretty difficult, but she gives an 8 point bonus on the last test and a 4 point bonus on the other three tests. The only grades you have are the four tests so that's pretty rough but she gives you two bonus points to your average if you miss less than 3 classes. Just type your notes in class and rewrite them.

Dr. Bohanan's lectures are great. I enjoyed every minute of her class. Although attendance is not mandatory, you will be rewarded for good attendance if your grade is close. Take plenty of detailed notes because the test questions are from both the lecture and the book. I recommend reading the pages she will lecture over before going to class.

Dr. Bohanans class is lecture heavy. She doesnt allow phones out, but her lectures are far from boring. Attendance is taken through an assigned seating chart and if you show up consistently, shell bump your grade at the end of the semester. She has a few reading questions on each exam, but you could definitely get an A without reading at all.

Dr Bohanan is a brilliant professor that knows her material inside and out. To get an A just go to class and take good notes, study the highlighted words from the book for each test, and read the sections of the book that she mentions. Her class is based off of four tests, so just pay attention and you'll learn a lot from her.
