Mrs Phipps is a really good teacher. She uses slide show for her notes, which you copy then study for the quick and easy quizes she gives like twice a week. She has reviews on the internet for test and quizes. She is willing to work after school w/you. Take this teacher for history and humor.

Phipps is a great teacher! She teaches in dept, knows what she's talking about, & is easy to understand. Her tests & quizzes are souly from her lectures. She doesn't take role, doesn't give you homework, & you don't even need to buy the book. She uses powerpoint, so basicly you just have to copy down her notes, study them, & youre good to go.

Ms. Phipps is a great teacher. She keeps class interesting even at 8:30 a.m. Just be prepared to read a lot. You get homework almost every night but if you miss a problem or two, you have group study time in class the next morning to go over the problems. Not a bad class to take. You'll learn a lot.

You MUST attend her class because none of her notes come from the book at all. I was gone for a week with the flu, and when it came time for the test, I was screwed. It's not multiple choice tests like normal teachers, you will write essays (full pages) on topics that SHE will choose, so you won't know which 5 of the 9 to study for. Avoid the class

I took her due to all of the good reviews I saw on this site, big mistake, for me anyway. All classes are lectures so make sure you attend. She gives for tests that are all handwritten, she gives 9 topics and you're tested on 5 of them and you don't know what they are until it's 10 mins. before the test begins. She does encourage office hour visits

Homework and Discussion boards are a main component of the class. Multiple chances at the Homework. Journals are pretty tough, a lot of typing and reading if you want a good grade. Tests consists of writing, however two are with a proctor and two are without. She's not a harsh grader, so if you try she can tell and you will receive good credit.

Took her for history and I'm sorry I did. I was a straight 'A' student until I had her. I ended up passing her class with a 'B'. Expect a ton of busy work, you will be writing an excessive amount (discussion boards, journals, essay tests, etc.). She is also a VERY harsh grader. If you can, you definitely want to avoid taking her class.

Impossible to please. Grades by her own set of standards instead of using clear directions in her prompts. Using the textbook is useless.
