i LOVE her! she's like a grandmother to you. so nice, easy grader. lectures are interesting, tests are word for word off the review. the ONLY prof you should take for this course!
very easy - she is so much fun - she tells the cutest jokes - they aren't really funny but you have to laugh with her
This is a very easy teacher, her tests are exactly from the notes. SHE IS SO EASY.
If you want college to be challenging, take another professor. She's really nice and we watch good movies. Tests are easy, writing assignments are easy.
Easiest teacher I've ever had. Tests are from a website you can look up the morning of (in the summer there is a test every day). You just match untill they're all right....put it in your short term memory, and head off to class.
Easiest and sweetest teach I have ever had in my life. I took her for both Historys and got and A in both classes. Take her if you can!
This semester she changed her format of the class because she said her recent students told her the class was to easy. Now its 90 Question multiple choice tests that are NOT all from the website. Many people dropped the class after the first test.
she did change her curriculm...so it's not so easy, u do have to read....but she's a sweet little old lady, i'm sure she is easier than other teachers!
This sweet little ol'lady has a teaching problem. She does not know if shes coming or going or what she expects of you. DONT take her!!!
Skim the book, study the online questions, and come to class to get points on the videos (lectures are very boring though). Some of her tests are take-homes.
this class is very easy. All the exams are take home exams. she did throw a couple of conforamtions in though. this class reminds me so much of highschool.
If you can take her, TAKE HER!! Class was incredibly easy and I hate history.
Very nice and cute lady! You should attend class to take notes on videos. Tests are take home and confirmation questions from the take home. One essay which is easy. Willing to answer questions and will take points off if u say wrong stuff on essays..etc
Class was great. Go to class for the lectures. She's such a nice person! I hated history, but she made it really cool!
Take this class for your history gened requirement! Gauranteed A. Take home exams. Don't even have to go to class. Plus, always filled with hot athletes.
too many quizzes, i had her for summer a and she gave 3 a week. she was like a high school teacher-BLAH!
Mrs. MacDonald is an accomplished American History Professor. She is well read and enjoys the study of American History and human nature. Although she is older than your typical college professor, she uses e-mail to communicate with her student.
Easy A! All tests were take home. 2 essays over movies watched in class. Just go to class(its kinda boring)and you will do fine.
Pretty easy. she emails you if you have questions, even though she's about 145 yrs old. you dont have to go to class because tests are take-home and straight from the book, and even in order. make sure you go to class on video days though(essays)
started this class off thinkn it was goin to be a breeze (thanks to RYP.com) But its not like that ne more test are not take home and they are book produced test so you MUST read and study hard...and MacDonald has no clue what shes talking about good luck
She is one of the worst professors ever!! All she does is show terrible videos and put maps up on the over head. Her tests are sooo hard, and her review does not pertain to the test. DO NOT TAKE EDIE MAC!!!!!!
TERRIBLE! do not take this class! Her tests are ridiculus and nothing to do with what she says. All she does is put a map on the overhead and blab the whole class, the only time you need to go to class is on video days, because you'll do just as bad if you show up every day! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS
Class is really borring. She gives a review that if u look up all the answers in the book you will do well in the class. You must go to class on video days and take notes because u write an essay in class on one of the videos. No real work to do in class just site there and listen to her talk.
Class is a joke. Easiest class I have taken. Only go for movies and the day before the test for the test questions.
Easiest teacher EVER. All you have to do is read the book and show up for test days and video days. We had an Essay Day instead of having to write a bunch of essays. Her tests are easy and weighted. In class she goes over questions for review that could be looked up.
No Comments
Yea she changed her style of not having take home tests but the class is still easy. Just come to review days where she tells u basically everything on the test which you have to look up in book, theres curves, and need to go on video days! Overall sweet she reminds you of a grandma
She is a very nice teacher, but her class is not as easy as you think it's going to be.You can skip class and still be able to make a good grade on the tests(as long as you are there for the review).Her tests are from the book and make sure you go up to class when she shows the videos
Nicest lady in the world, so sweet and understanding. I heard from a friend that she was a lot easier than she actually was, Got a B. She's changed her tests and are a little harder than before.
Very nice professor who I believe to be fair. She uses common sense in her grading and overall structure of the class. She'd rather teach than create a bunch of busy work for students. Her tests are pretty easy as long as you use the study guide
EDIE MAC is sneaky indeed! Heres what you have to do to get an A. (I did it) 1. Go to class and be her friend lol. 2.Only study the day before the test and memorize ALL her key points (which are basically the test questions). 3. For her essay do not misspell any word like annalyzed the mutha. = A!
Very nice and fair. Go to class for movie days to get attendance points and make sure you're there for her review. Study the review and you'll be fine. Essay exam is very easy... got an A on first 3 tests and essay test, she let me skip the final. Take her!
definitely take this teacher if possible. such a sweet person, and makes everything she expects out of you very clear. what a cutie!
Class is pretty easy, just do the reviews for the test. Cute lady, sometimes boring.
Great lady, study the tests from the book publishers website and u will do amazing on her tests, the reviews helped alot aswell.
Easy easy easy. Don't have to go to class other than on video days. All you have to do to get an A is study either from the CD that comes with the book (they are the exact questions from the test) or make index cards and simply memorize them. She tells you every topic you need to know for the tests. Just be nice and you're guarenteed an A!
It's an easy class if you attend class - she gives chapter quizzes and if you do the online review, your bound to get some free-bees. Read the book and watch the videos and you'll definitely get an A
MacDonald is awesome. Open-book quizzes and videos, thats it! Easy A if you show up to class.
extremely easy course. very nice lady. do all the take home work, study key pts and you'll be just fine.
Not helpful. Boring lectures. Boring text. Boring videos. Try to find a better history teacher if you can.
She is the nicest, sweetest teacher at UCF. I learned a lot about american history in her class and would highly recommend her.
It's a pretty easy class. You take 3 tests and write one in class essay. The essay is not hard, she's a pretty leniant grader. She's a very nice lady. Her tests come from the online resources (book website).
She a a very nice old lady. Take her over the summer. The class is extremely easy. She has a point grading scale. In the summer you take a open book quiz almost everyday, a few videos, and NO FINAL. Easy A....
Very sweet teacher! So nice and cares about her students. I would take her over the summer if you have a choice. she is so easy. open book quizzes, a few videos, no exams, and no final! You would have to TRY to not get an A in her class!!
She's a funny lady but babbles on about nothing. You must read all of the chapters and do the practice problems and attend class to see the videos to do well in her class. The essay on the videos was extremely easy.
Sweet lady! If you have a high grade you won't have to take the final. Tests more from book and online quizzes than from notes. Attendance only on video days, one simple in class essay about videos. Really passionate about subject matter. Reminds me of my grandmother and wears cute little hats. I missed class constantly and still got an A.
This class is so easy its scary. The answers to the test are on the books website. Memorize the answers to online quizzes and matching sections and you can't get a B. If you get a B you should go back Gitmo, Cuba!!!
very easy teacher and she is veryyy i mean veryy nice and understandable. everyone take her class you will not regret it at all and i mean it.
It's important to go to class on video days and she occassionally did random attendance. Some test Qs come from lectures too but it also comes from the book so you should def read too. There are practice tests online and those questions were on tests alot too. Not too hard, just have to keep up with reading. She is a nice teacher and the class is n
Easy class once you figure out that all of the questions for the test are online (multiple choice and matctching). Do the review according to the website's questions you will get an A.
ok, if you can't get an A in her class you do not deserve to be in college. enough said!
Edith MacDonald is a very sweet person. I never saw her when she wasn't smiling. The test review sheets consist of everything on the exams. Do the online stuff and you are guaranteed a good grade. The video sheet and essay are a piece of cake. I highly recommend this teacher!
she is such a cute little old lady. She gave us all of the originally 10 point open note quizzes to take home and just bring back to class finished. She showed us multiple videos and we had to do one page writeups on them. Very easy teacher. very nice lady and very understanding.
I hardly ever went to class (only on exam days and due dates). I still managed to get an A in this class just by going to the textbook website and memorizing answers to multiple choice, key terms, and key people. Exams are word for word from textbook website. Edith is a VERY kind person though.
Easy professor. Always nice and helpful, will definetly get her again for 2020
Ok, to get an A in the class, just do the online study guides and watch the videos in her class. I would have gotten an A if it weren't for the first test we took. My internet was down and I couldn't do the online practice. Seriously, the video essays I typed in class while watching the videos. You will go just fine in this class.
This class is REALLY easy as long as you do the online questions, they are practically the same as the ones on the test. Go to class on the video days, the writing assignments are VERY simple... she is definitely one of your easiest choices!
Great professor!!! Very helpful. Essays are done on movies you watch in class. Tests are from lectures and online questions (which are not manditory).
Nice teacher. She knows her history and always gives fun facts, like all history teachers do. Four tests, four short papers, easy as 123. I recommend her without a doubt.
not a very hard class. shes very intrested in what she teaches and shares with us her intresting stories. just use online practice and watch videoes and you will be good to go
Very easy teacher. Review online and you'll get an A.
Had her for hisotry 1 and 2 and they were the easiest classes ever. Don't buy the book, just study questions on the website
i thought the tests were hard. they are not exactly like the online questions anymore. she is really nice and she will notice if you are a regular going to class and then boost your grade at the end!
She is such a sweet lady. Buying the text book seemed like a waste of money though. She liked videos and her lectures were passionate for her. The test were easy but weren't really interesting.
This is THE sweetest lady EVER. She's a really easy grader and keeps the subject interesting with cool little facts mentioned throughout her speeches. I HIGHLY recommend taking the course during the summer. I got the highest grade in the class! :D
One of the easiest classes iv ever taken she gave us 17 take home tests i got a 100 on every one i dont think i did more than 2 on my own and the final was just a mix of the questions from the tests .... she is extremely nice and trys to be funny we got out early every day if you dont get an A your either beyond lazy or dont belong in college
I had her during the summer and she was so sweet and easy!! The final was just a comprehensive exam of the questions from the take home tests!! She is very passionate about history and it makes u want to listen! I loved her!
Very nice lady. Make sure u go 2 class b/c you never know when she will put on a video, which is VERY IMPORTANT 4 your grade. I must admit I was lazy in her class and but I still ended up with a B. Thank God for that take home final!!!! If you read and look at the key words and people on the review list that she gives, you'll do fine on her tests.
Very nice lady and a very easy class
I love this lady...she is the sweetest person you will ever meet...she will help you with anything, and has the most irrelevant lectures of all time. Make sure you take her...you will just end up wanting to hug her most likely... awesome professor
she's scatterbrained, nice yes but her class is weird
This lady is awesome. A few easy tests and a really easy paper. Take her if you can.
Awesome.
Easy as pie. Open book tests, take home final. Never went to class, ended up with an A!
She is the sweetest lady ever. So so easy. just took her class in summer 08. gives all tests on first day of class. take her if you can. show up to class when tests are due and get the answers from everyone else. super easy.
I've never liked History, still don't, but this is THE easiest class I've ever taken. All tests are directly (verbatim) from online quizzes (which you can redo before e-mailing to her for perfect score). If a student fails to get an "A" in this course, then they made NO effort. An easy "A."
She is so nice, but the class is boring. Doesn't matter though because her tests are so easy it's not even funny. Her online quiz questions are the test questions verbatim.
Very easy class!! I am trying to get her for AMH 2020 too.
Seriously, this class is a joke. Don't bother buying the book. Weekly quizzes which you can do until you get the grade you want, all exams come STRAIGHT from quizzes, and 2 easy papers. I never went to class and have around a 98 average. I still can't get over what a joke this class is, take her for EASY A, not to learn!
Easiest class ever...enough said! Her classes FILL very quick though.
she's awesome. easiest A ever. im still in shock over how easy it was
Nicest teacher ever, very easy A. Take her if you can. You don't actually have to go to class but I almost felt bad not going. TAKE HER!
WOW! SO GREAT! You don't have to go to class, there is no class on Fridays because u take a quiz online which is ridiculously easy (no studying required at all due to the set up of the website, if u know what i mean). For tests you simply memorize the quizzes and get an A. 1 or 2 papers assigned but it's nothing when you see how simple the class is
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Save yourself while you can now. This teacher is crazy.
This teacher is crazy. The class is way harder this year. I recommend to not take. :(
Very nice lady. You don't have to go to class to get an A. Just do the online quizes which are super easy if you know what you are doing. Memorize all the quizes for the exams. The papers you have to write are really easy. Just throw a bunch of random facts in and she will love it. Great class to take.
Macdonald is AWESOME best history teacher out there do not listen to anyone that says otherwise. no need to attend class. weekly online quiz that you put in answers and can see the correct answers so you always get 100. 2 exams directly from quizzes.every1 got 100 on essays. take home final. sign up for her early because every1 wants her.
Nice lady, incorparates videos and images into the lecture. Dont buy the book unless you want to you wont need it. Questions come from online quizzes that you can take as many times as you want until you get an A and you can print and study them later. Easy essay pack that is required by the Gordon Rule. Finished with a 98. Take her if you can.
Great professor, her lectures are like stories and heavily supplemented by videos. Class is only Mon. and Wed. Fri is for "online study". The exams are straight from the online quizzes. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK (you don't need it for anything she requires you to do and she doesn't want you to use it for the essay). Easy A class.
omg best class everrr..took both amh 2020 and 2010..never have to go to class and most ppl never show up bc class time is completly useless..tests straight from online quizzes..easiest class i have ever taken. ever. love prof macdonald
I love prof. MacDonald! She is so sweet and understanding. She wants you to do well and does whatever she can to help. Tests are from online quizzes and she is a fair grader when it comes to the core essays. Book isn't needed. Class is a waste of time, I never went. Doesn't get any easier. take her, she's awesome!
Easiest Professor ever, without a doubt. Take her, don't take anyone else. Easy online quizzes, and tests come DIRECTLY from these quizzes. Guaranteed A. No matter what. Seriously take her.
She is so wonderful and nice. All the test are straight from the online quizzes that i very easy too. You dont have to buy the book but it can help you on your exam if you dont know the question. I really enjoyed her class!
Amazing!!!
Easiest class I have ever taken throughout my high school AND college career. So easy it is not even funny. No HW, no papers, only 3 tests which she basically gives you the answers to. No need to buy the book or go to class every day. Too easy. Beyond easy. A guaranteed
LOVE Ms.Madonald! She is the sweetest and most adorable lady. Take her class!
This class is SO easy! She gives out the occasional papers to write, which she gives pretty much everyone 100's to. Website gives you the answer to online quizzes. Going to class is useless-she just rambles about stories and all the test questions come straight from the online quizzes. Take her for an easy A!
Professor MacDonald is just the sweetest lady! There is no need to attend classes unless it is to turn in an occasional essay she assigns, which are usually 1-2 pages . Tests are usually 50 questions & come straight from online quiz questions (which the quiz website gives the answers to). Easiest class I have taken !
Easy A. Quizzes every week but you get unlimited attempts and you get to see the answers. 4 papers were graded carefree. Take her
She is an awesome teacher! She is the sweetest lady, and very laid back about her teaching methods. I would definitely advise you to take her!
I took this class in the summer. For summer we had 3 exams and all of them were based on the quizzes she assigns=easy. However class is somewhat mandatory because she will play videos but she will ask questions that you have to answer in a bluebook and at the end of class she stamps them to prevent ppl from doing it at home. overall very easy class
Nice lady, easy class. Only take her for an easy A, not if you want to learn something. Exam questions taken directly from online quizzes which are a completion grade. Only have to go to class on days when a video is shown to write an (easy) essay.
Mrs. MacDonald is such a sweet lady. This is one of the easiest classes that I have ever taken! There are four writing assignments which are very easy and three tests which are all based off the online quizzes, which are for a completion grade. You do not have to attend class, and she cancels every friday class! Take her if you can!!
This is literally the easiest class that I have ever taken! Edith is the sweetest lady! You have online quizzes every week which are for completion and the tests all come from the online quizzes, so you get a 100 on every test! There are a bunch of writing assignments, but they are all easy. Had tues/thurs and she cancelled every thurs class.
Mrs. MacDonald is the sweetest teachers ever! She's really funny and is a little ditzy. Do not buy the book for this class. Attendence is not mandatory. The exams come from online quizzes assigned each week. Take her if you can!
She is very sweet. I learned a lot from her class. You memorize a lot like every other history class. Class material online , hence no book needed. Attendance is usually required. Achieving an A is very possible.
I loved Mrs. MacDonald. She was very nice and very understanding. However she was hard to follow as she just sat at her desk and talked no visuals. Grade consists of 3 tests, weekly online quizzes, in-class writing prompts on videos shown and a 5 page paper. The tests did not come from the online quizzes. Best of luck!!!!
Sweetest old lady ever! Professor Macdonald is nice, flexible and her class is a breeze. 3 tests + final, weekly online quizzes, one paper. You should go to class for videos (you have to write about them). But everything was really easy and she is an easy grader. Would definitely recommend her!
Nice professor and super easy class. Quizzes are online and tests are the exact same just shuffled a bit.
Very easy class. Online quizzes (unlimited attempts) were identical to the exams. Although boring lectures, Professor MacDonald is a historical timepiece herself. She had many interesting (and relevant) personal stories to go with the lectures.
Very easy class. one research paper. never read the book. online quizzes with unlimited attempts and the test questions are simply copy and pasted from the online quizzes. EASY A.
TAKE THIS CLASS!! Easiest A I have ever received. Online quizzes with unlimited attempts and are the exact questions for the exams. Only one research paper. Super sweet old lady. EASY A!!
seriously THE EASIEST CLASS I HAVE EVER taken! I took it in the summer and I never opened my book , took the online quizez and studied them since her tests are EXACT same questions. We also turn in some essay questions and summary of movies we watch in class! super EASY A! TAKE HER!!!!
Easiest class I've ever taken. Has quizzes online that you can take as many times as you need. Quiz questions are the same as the test questions, so if you memorize the answers you'll pass with flying colors. There's one research paper, but she doesn't grade it hard and it's on whoever you want. Need access code for online quizzes.
Easiest class I've ever taken. 4 exams, one 5-page paper. Her test questions come directly from the online quizzes, I got 100%'s on two of her tests. Attendance is mandatory but her lectures have nothing to do with the exam material.
Good professor and very nice.
I just took her for 2020 in the summer. As long as you have the access code, you don't even need the textbook. There are online quizzes with unlimited attempts, so you're guaranteed an A for that. Her tests are directly from the quizzes, so as long as you memorize the answer the class is an easy A.
TAKE THIS CLASS! Easiest class I have ever taken! Quizzes are interactive quizzes from the online textbook and her tests are the same exact quiz questions. Impossible to fail. One research paper with plenty of time to turn in. She is so sweet and cute!
Online quizzes with unlimited attempts, 3 exams which are the online quiz questions and answers word for word, and one paper.
It's my fourth year here and I'd say she's the best and easiest professor at UCF! Very sweet older lady, I loved her lectures, and her class. Easy A class, no excuse for getting below an A. I'd definitely take her class again if I get the chance to.
She's such a sweet older lady. You can tell she knows a lot about her history, and knows what she's talking about. One of the easiest classes. You must have an access code to pass her class though. A lot of the assignments are online. If you review online, her tests are really easy. You shouldn't have a problem passing with an A+.
DO NOT RENT THE REQUIRED TEXTBOOK. All the quizzes are taking using the textbook access code. She then copy and pastes the quiz questions for the test. If you memorize the quiz questions, you'll be passing. She does take attendance only when she shows a video in class. It is difficult to determine when this will be; show up most of the time
This course was so easy! And the professor is such a sweet lady. I wish I had her again now that I am in AMH 2020. But that class was a breeze. Just show up, because she takes attendance almost every day. Thats it. The only grades she puts in are attendance, online quizzes (EASY!), 3 tests (pulls questions from the quizzes), and a research paper.
I consider as my grandma because she is SO sweet. Her lectures can be long, but she tries to make it better with history videos for us to understand better. Her exams are not hard; they're from online quizzes. Give her your full respect and treat her as a professional elderly. I loved her class, always try to attend class just so that she's happy.
She was a sweet lady. Very passionate about history. Very lecture heavy course. She literally sits down in fron of the class and talks the whole time. I t was very easy she assigned quizzes and the test were fairly easy to pass if you study the quizzes.
Very sweet, but boring professor. Her classes were always composed of lectures or videos we had to watch. She takes attendance every day which can be time consuming but it speeds up as she gets to know your faces. When I took her class all her exams were take home exams. Very easy. Kept a green book for the Gordon Rule.
