Ms. Ramos is a very fair grader and a very good lecturer. She knows her stuff and expects you to know it come exam-time. She hands out a study guide prior to the test, so if you fail -- it is your own fault!

This teacher is very into the subject however most of her lectures are not even related to the test. She gives you tests that are pages long. She expects you to write the way she talks in her lectures. But she doesn't give test according to the material in class. So what does that tell you? She expects way to much and gives you so little time.

Class is somewhat easy, yet somewhat hard at the same time. No quizes or pop quizes, yet sometimes before class she'll ask you to do a group project on the book reading, which will be difficult if you didn't do the reading, but overall is easy. However, her midterm and final are pretty difficult, they are practically all essay, alot of writing.

She is a nice person but the assingments such as term papers are complicated. She wants them exactly the way she likes. Term papers which had nothing to do with American history, lowered my grade.

Made history interesting and interactive. She doesn't believe in lecturing but prefers class discussion. I will remember more of what I learned b/c of her style of teaching. A little unorganized but she tells you EXACTLY what will be on the test and if you are self-disciplined enough to study on your own it is an easy A. She's also very nice.

Not that good of a teacher. Not really that knowledgeable in history at all, especially U. S. women's history. Tries to act real casual, like she has a different style of teaching, when she really has no style of teaching. She is not really that qualified to teach it seems. Temperamental too.

Mrs.Ramos is very enthusiastic. She didn't really lecture us during class and 90% of the time we did group discussions focusing on critical analysis of the documents.

She cares A LOT about her students. Her lectures are sort of all over the place. She switches up the test taking, some tests will be multiple choice and some are essays.

Amazing Professor. She is extremely clear and concise with the material, gives homework assignments that help you to get an A on all tests, highly organized, and wants to make her class exciting for you. How to get an A: Sit in the front row of class, pay attention, participate, do all homework, do not be absent, and study! I got an A.
