She helps tremendously. 2 take home tests, and she allows you to email her the "at-home" part and tell you what you need to fix which guarantees an A. She gives you study guides which are all you need for that test. It's so easy, she's fun, and she's not hesitant to change the syllabus dates. Best history class ever. (I hate history, by the way.)

Literally easiest professor ever. Only had three tests (one of which she actually cancelled and gave everyone a 100%), she cancelled class literally once or twice a week, and both tests we did actually did take I got above 100% on without going to class ever. Plus she is adorable and really down to earth. If you need a history credit take Wotring!

This was the easiest class of my semester, and by far the most interesting. I always struggled with history, but she somehow made it easy for me to stay focused. We had three tests all semester (One of which she cancelled and gave everyone a 100%), and we had weekly reading and writing assignments, which if you did them you got a 100% as well.

The tests were super easy (as long as you knew the study guide), and she actually threw out a test because she had cancelled class so much. TAKE WOTRING FOR HISTORY 101!!!

I had Wotring online, which is probably changed her teaching tacit some. She is definitely passionate about history, which is great, but she gave a RIDICULOUS amount of homework. We had DAILY deadlines with multiple chapters of reading (2 textbooks), journal entries, discussion boards & Tegrity lectures. She seems great, just don't take her online!

One of my favorite professors at UofL. She is very knowledgeable and makes every lecture interesting. She gives study guides for all the tests and is very clear about what you need to know and is lenient on grading too. If you go to class and fill out the study guide it is impossible to not get an A.

Each exam has a bonus section on it and if you show up the first day after an exam she will give you bonus pts in my experience. Also, she's really sweet and fun to listen to in lecture.

On top of that, you have extra credit opportunity within the exam, too, so you can miss a few questions and still potentially get an A.

If you're thinking about taking this class, do it. Professor Wotring is an amazing professor who knows a lot about History. She is super chill. While attendance is not mandatory, I recommend going. You truly learn more about American History and facts you didn't even know.

I absolutely loved this professor. She is very flexible with grading and is willing to give an extension on assignments because of unforeseen circumstances. Great with communication, gives good feedback, and is overall a very nice professor. As long as you read the chapters, the assignments aren't that difficult.

Super easy online course. Great if you need a D2 credit. About 30 minutes to an hour of work is required each week. she uses a textbook but it's you don't really need it to pass the class. Would definitely take it if you need an easy gen ed history credit.

This course was called Greek and Roman Culture, and the professor taught it as if everyone already knew a great deal about Greek and Roman culture, which I did not (hence why I took the class). If you have a special interest in this topic and you are a history major, take this class, but otherwise, try to avoid it.

Erin Wotring is an amazing professor. I disliked History before I took her class, I actually enjoyed it very much. Recommended my son take her class and he enjoyed her as well. Very caring and easy to follow along with.

Very clear expectations and assignments. Really easy class. There's one mini quiz a week, but it's really easy and has extra credit questions. You have to do 300 word reading logs but you can choose which primary source you want to write about. Don't buy the book, she posts lectures that go over everything. Most answers are on quizlet.

Professor Wotring is one of the few teachers I've encountered who gets you excited to learn the content of her course. From the time she starts speaking, there is a smile on her face. Even though it's a history class, she finds a way to keep her presentations interesting and keep your attention. If you need a credit and she is teaching, TAKE IT!

Prof. Wotring is genuinely my favorite professor I've had. Her lectures are so passionate and fun; it's obvious that she's extremely knowledgeable and makes sometimes difficult concepts easy to understand! Her tests aren't very difficult, but because the lectures are so full of content, I would recommend taking detailed notes to be best prepared.

I dislike history and took the class for a GenEd. Overall, really enjoyed the content and clear expectations with assignments. 3 big tests, 1 presentation, and quite a few reading logs that are based on easy readings. Take if you have the chance.

Hist 104 is a great class, has great class structure, content etc. What really made the class for me though was Professor Wotring who shares history and enjoys it & is smiling. Cares about her students, she makes sure her class is a safe space and works with students to ensure that they are in a situation that is safe for them.

She is so lovely. Her class was so fun to me because for 50 minutes, I was taken out of stressful school life, and instead got to listen to history that was actually interesting. Many students no-show, which makes me sad because she tries a lot. I loved her class. It's not hard if you try. She's also lenient with deadlines. Not a super hard grader.

This was what every class should be like. It was easy yet taught me so much. The assignments weren't too difficult, but you still need to be able to demonstrate your knowledge of the topics. Sometimes the word counts were hard to hit with the given prompts, so I often felt like I was saying the same thing over and over, but I always got the points.

Professor Wotring was phenomenal!! I highly recommend her if you're a history major—she will keep you engaged and up to date on information. Make sure you attend lectures though or you will get behind.

She got sick a lot so the schedule got pushed back which allowed us to not have a final. Make friends because you're going to be confused and not know what to do for the tests. Get reading logs done on time they're a big part of your grade. Take notes and read! Do the entire study guide because the one thing you don't know will be on the tests.
