Hard class most people failed the tests.

She starts the semester off trying to make students feel they are in elementry school by assiging seats. However, this actually allows her to lecture longer and go into more depth. She gives 2 written assignments, and most test questions come from Book's website. Take good notes as her bonus questions are difficult.

I took this class at the same time as my other history and wish I had Perkins for both. Her tests are hard, because the majority of points come from fill in the blanks, with no word banks. She is a great teacher, but the fill ins caused most students to do poorly on her tests. Even when there is a word bank, it's not helpful on her tests.

Professor Lawrence is a really good teacher. She enjoys what she teaches which makes us (her students) want to hear more about it. Her tests are a little difficult. U can't just sleep through the class and expect to get an A. I got a B and i worked hard for it. U have to devote time to this class. I DO recommend her though.

She was an awesome teacher. I learned a ton. Can't wait to take the next course. Lots of notes but they definitely come in handy.

Dr. Lawrence is one of the best lecture professors I have ever had. She is very kind and helps one comprehend the material. I hate to say that there will be two papers due in her class. There are four tests, and the final is over material not comprehensive. 85% of her test questions are from the book so READ THE CHAPTERS.

She lectures for most of the class period and speaks in a very fluid but swift manner, so if you're a faster writer or typer who can pay attention to details, you will have an easier time than most when trying to keep up. Her tests are difficult and you NEED to study. You will have some extra credit and if you're borderline, they will help a lot!

Her tests are very hard. You have to devote much time and effort to get an A. You always have to pay attention in the class and take good notes. But she gives the best lecture! Very intelligent teacher, wide knowledge, she can answer all of ur questions. I love her lecture! This is the first time I'm not sleeping in history class!

I've taken 2 of her classes and they were all great. They were very hard but I feel so good to make an A because I know I try and learn a lot. It's a fun challenge to try when you take her class. She's the best history professor!!!

Grades are mainly test which are about 80% mult choice 20% fill in the blank. 2 papers and few quizzes. Some say the test were hard I didnt think so(I can memorize almost everything I hear tho) everything on the test is covered in class. I didnt go to class for 3 weeks or open the book and made a B. Not easy but not super hard either. Hot teacher!

This class is very hard! She lectures the entire time and you really have to pay attention to detail when taking notes. Her lectures are fun but she talks extremely fast. The tests are difficult and most questions come from your notes. I strongly do not recommend Ms. Lawrence if you are not persuing a degree in history or looking for an easy A or B

She knows her stuff but is VERY HARD> Dont miss class she takes attendance Quizes

A great professor. Her test are very hard. I did receive an A, but I had to study all the time. Will definetely take another class with her.

Dr. Lawrence is a very structured professor. She is always willing to answer questions and I felt she cared about each student and if they were understanding the material. She is a University level teacher and that is why people find her classes hard. Take notes, pay attention and put actual effort into class and you will do well. I Recommend!

She is tough teacher, but really good. If you read your book, do the assignments, and study for her tests you are good to go!! She responds to emails in a timely manner - very nice. I would recommend taking her if you really want to learn Texas History. She has alot of good informational assignments.

Great professor - she grades pretty hard, but if you just do your assignments and read your book you will do fine. I thought it was a bit hard, but good and I made an A!! I am minoring in History and this is the type of teacher I needed. I definately recommend her!!

I am currently taking her for an online class and she is great. The class is fairly easy, you just have to do the reading. The text itself is a very easy read. The homework and tests are not that hard you just have to actually put an effort into them. The two papers she requires are also not hard. She is very quick to respond to emails. Overall a g

Her lectures are very interesting, but her exams are hard especially the fill-in the blank with no word bank. The quizzes are ok as long as you are there that day. you have 2 out of 3 essays which is a chapter she assigns from the book. Wished i could of done better =/

Dr.Lawrence is a very tough professor. But she knows what shes talking about. If you are willing to put in the effort, then you will end up with a good grade. Attendance helps because she has quizzes randomly. I enjoyed her and took several classes of hers, but you DO have to work HARD.

Difficult but great teacher.She LOVES her subject.Strongly suggested if you want to learn about history. Not suggested if you want an easy A (or easy C). Learned a LOT during her course. Could be best class you'll ever have.

A tough grader and sometimes obscure in assignments. IE- look at these 5 historic photos then write a 1000 word paper about what you think of the time. I'm especially not impressed with the text book. It jumps around in date and the texts used by other instructors are much more clear and don't exclude so much of the human element of history.

Great professor, yet extremely tough. I would not recommend her unless you are a history major or have a genuine interest in the subject. I took her for both 2311 and 2312 and got A's in both, but many people in the classes had D's or worse by the final.

I took her online. She is not an easy teacher, but I did learn a lot. The test were a bit confusing. She would ask questions about people or events that were not in the chapters we read. Her class got me to switch from Communications to History. I received a B in the class and worked my butt off. She is not an easy A.

Very interesting teacher. Likes to tell little stories that help us remember subjects learned, yet doesn't stray away from the subject matter. Have to do two fairly easy essays (out of three chances), and gives movie extra credit. Exams are not the easiest, so read up on the chapters.

She lectures every day, must take good, clear notes. If you memorize the notes, you will ace tests. Tests can be anywhere from 65% to 95% from the lecture notes, so attendance is key to an A. She requires 2 papers based on readings only found in the library. You must analyze the readings and write 650 to 750 words. Lecture style is wonderful!

I enjoyed this course. There is a bit of reading & you will need the book. She responds to emails, and grades really easy on the discussion points if you stay on track and pay attention. She gives you a week to complete all task and extensions due to TCC system glitches. If she taught another course I would take it and online. I passed the class!

I thought she was a great lecturer and I enjoyed coming to class every day (you need to go every day because the notes are most of the test). Most of the bad ratings seem to be from the online courses but I had her in a traditional class and really liked it. She was very understanding with people who had late papers or personal issues.

She is one of the best teachers I have had the privilege of being influenced by. I loved going to her class, the way she verbalizes things is entertaining and interesting. Would definitely sign up again to take her class, if need be. Great Teacher!! you do need to attend her class regularly though, other then that she is awesome!

You have to read the book to pass this class. I loved Dr. Lawrence, she gave out extra credit, which helped me pass. Her test are hard but if you read the book you will pass. Her lectures could be better but most of the stuff is not on the test anyways. Her quizzes help your grade, also! I would take her again !

This professors lectures' are AMAZING! She is very interactive and gives you interesting information. Because most of her tests are based on the reading of the textbook "a very slow read", and lecture, her test are difficult. Take notes and study. She allows you to use one side of a note card (USE IT). Overall a great professor.

I took hybrid class. to get an A you need to study hard for the online quizzes it took me 8 hrs a week. they do matter. review lecture notes every couple days. she does not give reviews. she gave extra credit but it wont be enough. she confuses questions from different chapters not included in test.

Four exams over the course of the semester, final is non-cumulative. 1/3 of the exam q's are from the textbook so you will need to at least skim it each unit. There are three opportunities for short essays, but you only need to write two. Even if you get 70s on the exams, if you do the papers and some extra credit you'll still pass just fine.

Professor Lawrence was my first ever online and wintermester class I have ever taken, and I am so glad I did. She provides an agenda of when assignments are due and you are even able to get ahead. It's a very very easy class if you keep up with the assignments. All exams and quizzes were open note and open book straight from PPs and book.

Prof. Lawrence's lectures were pretty fun to attend and listen to. She makes it obvious she really cares about what she's teaching, and she talks like a normal human having a conversation, except that she's explaining History. She also offers extra credit that involves watching movies and/or reading books, which is fun, I guess.

Professor Lawrence is a really good professor. Her lectures are so interesting to listen to and informative, but the tests are lecture heavy. There's a little bit of reading involved before each test, but nothing too bad. It's a really good course to take. Highly recommend.

Her lectures are funny and she's very chill. You can't miss a day though, she has a lecture each day and 3 major exams for them. Furthermore, her lectures have no PowerPoint, so take good notes and pay attention. Also, pay attention to due dates, you'll miss a lot of assignments the first few weeks like me if you don't check them daily.

Maybe I shouldn't have taken this one as a minimester. Tons and tons of reading. And Google is your friend. Unfortunately, the test questions don't have much to do with any of the materials gone over, nor much of anything to do with the 10ish minute weekly recycled lectures.

Overall this class was easy. I took this course online. Her expectations were straightforward. You will have to read but again super easy. She responds promptly to questions. She does use a plagiarism test through IU for a grade. The test seems virtually impossible to pass. Speaking that assignment didn't hold that much weight I skipped it. Easy B!

All the work is outlined in the syllabus and she replies quickly to emails. Record the lectures 'cause the powerpoints are useless, and get notes if u miss class. there is extra credit on tests and you can use a notecard.

I think people on her don't like because they're lazy. Yes she has a bit of work assigned but she is very helpful and will look over rough drafts of essays before you turn it in. Her assignments are even that bad, an 10 question quiz each week, grow up. Also, her lectures are fun and she shares history like storytelling

I have had nothing but a great time in both her 1301 and 1302 classes and have yet to see what people have against her. She does require a little bit more work and extra credit, but that also means that the tests would not be the make or break for the class. People just do not like her teaching style and that can be expected with any teacher.

I know that a lot of people don't like Professor Lawerence bc she gives a lot of work, but I loved her class so much! There are two essays, but she gives you plenty of time do to them. She also gives extra credit which is pretty easy to do.

I loved Professor Lawerence! She made learning history fun and she is so nice! Her class does have a lot work, but as long as you manage your time well, then her class will be easy! She also gives extra credit which is easy to do!

Sweet lady, her class is hard tho you must dedicate alot of time to studying. Her lectures are done in a story-telling way which can be fun. Test are long and hard, she allows notecard but there is a fill in the blank section. Take if you have time.

I loved Professor Lawrence! She does give a lot of work, but plenty of time to do them, and she gives easy extra credit

I had Professor Lawrence during my junior year in Spring 2024. She was an amazing instructor. The readings can be a bit intensive in terms of writing the essays during tests. My best advice for y'all would be doing all the extra credit and using NotebookLM to comprehend ANY CONCEPTS necessary for you to best understand and to pass the class.
