DONT TAKE THIS PROF! Unless you want a Prof. that gives 4 papers, poor grading, boring lecture, 3 speeches, 2 tests and a Final!

She does not teach very well, nor does she really seem to know much about what she's teaching.

She is the worst history teacher I've ever had. If you want to learn anything about world history. Don't take Acree. She is very vague and unprofessional. Her powerpoints are hard to read, very boring and have errors in spelling, grammar, and actual fact. She does not use the assigned textbook at all. She doesn't explain assignment requirements.

This professor is absolutely useless. Nothing you do will suffice to her demands. It's impossible. She doesn't explain how she wants her papers written, then rages when it's not up to par. If you want a class in which you turn everything in on time and study the given material, yet STILL fail miserably, then Acree is the pick of the lot.

This professor is not there to see anyone succeed. Honestly, lectures were pretty good. But she demands a massive amount of work for a class that you "must" take to graduate. She is unclear, almost makes fun of students for there work or comments and is not approachable. If you are a history major, take her. If not, STAY FAR AWAY!!!

This teacher is not clear on the information she wants you to know for her exams. If you try to ask questions she will most like speak down to you without answering your question. The class is very hard mostly due to the teachers lack of communication of what she expects on her exams. Other than that she is an Ok teacher

So when I look at these ratings I usually assume that the student are lazy and scores the teacher low this teacher grades hard the questions for the quizzes set you up for failure and she knows it She took pride that her % of students are at a 69%AVERAGE the class is close to failure Grades hard Avoid taking my 4.0 will go down cause of her class

The worst teacher I have had! She is very degrading. Does not present material in an understanding manner. Her tests are impossible to pass! Never can meet her standards. Not a 101 class.

Avoid her classes at all costs - especially online. Her grading scale is extremely harsh and unforgiving, yet she never gives any clear instructions on what she wants on the assignments besides "do the work" and fails to give feedback on completed assignments. I scraped by with a B but this was by far the worst class and professor I've ever had.

Just finished this eight week online class and was able to pull a B...I'm an A student. The work was within reason however; this instructor's grading practices are ridiculously harsh and unfair. Miss Acree, you teach at CSN not ivy league. Get over it! Avoid this class at all cost. Not because of the work but because grading is unfair.

She is very hard and not helpful. Ask her a question and she will not give accurate answers. She tell you to figure it out. Avoid her class. Her grading on the essays are hard. I rate her 1. She should change her demeanor and be more flexible with the students. We pay for these classes and we expect a teacher to have respect and teaching skills.

Being a fan of history I thought this would be a great class. I was very wrong. The professor, when asked a question did nothing to answer the question asked, only answered in generalities. Tests were the worst I've ever taken. Written in a very convoluted manner and multiple answers fit the question.

Had assignments that were art history related, not western civilization related. No rhyme or reason to her grading, and will not provide an answer when asked about specifics of why a grade was received. I would recommend avoiding this professor, as chances are that you will not like the outcome.

I'm not sure how her rating went up to a 2.5. When I last checked she was at a 1.5. This was a very difficult class. I do not recommend and all of those who have responded negatively I agree with you. When being graded you can see the class scores and medians. I barely got my "A" and really had to work. the avg. grade was a "D". Do not take!

I am a history buff, but this instructor dosen't respect students. Not a history class but an english class. This instructor goes way off corse, if you want to learn history. Take it from a different professor!

Do you like being allowed only 20 minutes for a 10-question quiz of obscure facts buried in an enormous chapter of your book? Do you enjoy being graded on the quality of your grammar instead of the actual answer to the question that you spent 6 hours researching? Love snide feedback and ambiguous guidelines? Then boy, do I have the class for you!!!

Shes an awful teacher. please do NOT take her. shes very difficult grader. makes you feel stupid. I took AP English and always got C's and D's on her essays. she limits the amount of words you can use but always tells you to explain more. It's like she finds joy in your failure! Don't take her. Seriously tough teacher. You've been warned!

She. Is. Terrible. Tough teacher with a bad attitude. She is very disrespectful and grades very harshly. I do not recommend her to anyone. There are word limits on her essays, yet when you meet the limit she knocks off points because "its not specific enough" she also puts trick questions in her multiple choice tests. This is a no go.

This is by far the worst history professor I've ever had. She acts as if she's an English Professor, and I have never proofread any of my writing as I am that confident in my skills and always get A's. She graded me 35/105 on an Essay which I've met all my requirements and couldn't tell me anything but "proofreading" and be more "specific".

Absolutely horrendous. Contradicts herself in her own directions. Uses off topic material for essay sources. Assigns video links that are broken, which forces you to find it somewhere else. Grades VERY harshly. Even if you go above and beyond for an essay, the best you might get is a C+. More of an English class than a history class. Do not take!

Terrible teacher. Would never suggest taking her class. DO NOT TAKE. A ghost the whole online class except 2 weeks after you turn in an assignment with maybe a comment. Learned more about "how to be a bad teacher" rather than Marco Polo....... (took 2 online classes for the first time and this one was by far the worst in comparison)

Professor Acree does not seem interested in teaching history, she is more into being an English professor. Though it is always encouraged to ask questions in class, she tends to have a chip on her shoulder when giving out answers. Her essays are simply not salvageable to get A's. Gives directions on how to write them and takes points off anyway.

This instructor is inexperienced, possibly have taught for only 10 years or less. She does not provide rubrics for her essay assignments which means she grades subjectively and unfairly. Her instructions & assignments are very vague, & irrelevant. She just assigns them for the sake of "busy work". Be prepared to get a C in this class.

She is a control freak to the nth degree. I'm writing an essay about freedom (paradoxically) in which she has chosen every single element for me. It's so tedious, and it teaches me too little about history to be considered effective. I think many of the comments are suspiciously similar. Perhaps someone can't handle criticism?

Terrible professor. I felt like this was an English class instead of a History class. She grades way too harshly and critiques everything. She seems to have a chip on her shoulder. I am, however, glad I got an A. But did I ever work for it. I would not take again.

I would not recommend taking this as a fast-paced course, or with this professor. History is a painful subject to study and this instructor doesn't make it any less painful. I'm lucky I even passed this class.

Cannot recommend. Straight A history major and got a C in this class. She does not provide a rubric and grading is often subjective and nit picky (marked me down once significantly for being short 12 words). The book is good and the quizzes were helpful, but I've never had a prof who seemed to hate their subject and take all the joy out of it.

I love history, but hated this class. She seems like she's angry all the time, and really does not care about your comments or questions when participating in class. While she's not the worst professor I've had, she's certainly pretty far down there. Be ready to do a bit more work than you might expect, and expect to not enjoy any of it.

If it is the same one that I had back in 2009. Good luck to those. Worst one that I ever had

It sad to face a professors like this one, she says that she will not give away grades, nobody asked her for that. Most of the students must be wrong about her in these reviews because nobody does anything about it . She should not teach in college. These reviews must be observed by the Board of Directors and they must do something!

Teacher is incredibly strict, but to the point that its almost beyond me. Turned in a assignment one second short, contacted professor who then told me -a second short is still short and to try harder next time. Also didnt provide me with explanation on a low essay grading. A shame when professors could care less about their students success.

I love History, and I love writing. However, the way that she assigns the papers to be done in the class is a joke. All sources are provided for the student. Each paper is literally just analyzing the validity of the source by using the same set of guidelines that she provides. Unimaginative, restricting, and worst of all, uninspiring. AVOID.

Just started this class 3 days ago and there was 5 assignments due along with test. I am already failing. She isn't going by the book she makes us get for history 101.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is a horrible professor. She is a very tough grader and gives incredibly vague feedback. She gives you assignments where you have to read through documents that are not in modern English and do assignments based on these documents. Assignments are very hard to understand. I am a straight A student but not in this class.

I'm 4 weeks into this class and it has made me absolutely hate college. I love to learn and I love history, but this professor acts more like an English teacher than a History one. I've asked her about the grade on every one of my assignments and she always gives a vague response. There is no room for improvement and very little to go on. AVOID!!!!

If you love to make things hard on yourself for no apparent reason, you should take her class. This professor doesn't grade you on how well you understand the material, but on how well you did it. She also is very vague regarding feedback. She also makes you type VERY LONG discussion replies. She also makes you read instead of look at a powerpoint

I love history so when I took this class I expected to enjoy it. Boy was I wrong!! She is the absolute worst. If you want history, your better off turning on the TV. There is zero history in this class. Your entire grade is based on your writing ability. I read reviews and still took it, do not do what I did.

Avoid Professor Acree shes something else. Shes a tough grader and acts more like an English professor than a History one as previously stated. Quizzes a easy but be prepared to write a lot for essays and discussions. I strong recommend you NOT to taking her class specially during the summer.

Heavy on synthesis essay writing. Acree expects you to come to a 100/101 course with English 300-400 writing skills. She grades harshly and acts more like an English Professor then History. I have an A in my English 101, yet somehow my History grade is a B - because, English and Grammar issue according to Acree. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

She gives way too much reading and writing assignments, so prepare to read A LOT. Her class feels more like of an English class rather than history, She is really strict about grammar and spelling in essays. I honestly feel like I did not learn anything in this class. Instead, I learned how to improve in writing essays.

I do not Recommend Professor Acree. Like many reviews, before me, the class is more English than history. There was nothing provided for learning except for her essay on the subject and links to outside sources. Be ready to be overwhelmed with assignments and be graded harshly on them. Never provided feedback until way after the assignment was due.

DO NOT take this professor. Every bad review is 100% true. I was stuck taking this class because the highly rated professors were taken. She is an extremely tough grader, and the class is graded mostly on how well she thinks you write essays. Discussion posts have a high word count requirement and she grades those tough too.. AVOID!

Personally wouldn't take this professors again.. super tough grader, material was not bad overall though. I'm surprised I even passed this class. If you have other choices of professors for history choose them instead, good luck.

Her course requires quite a bit of attention. If you have another job working full-time, I don't recommend it. Working full-time and student full-time was already a known stressor. However, with her class, it was full-time in itself. There's a plethora of reading and she gives you options based on topics which is nice but they generally take hours.

Do not take her If you want a good GPA grades very harshly and is not understanding at all if you work and go to school full time

She is highly disrespectful. I asked her a question with respect to extending a deadline and the way that she responded was very belittling when she could have just said no- would not recommend wasting your financial aid on this professor as she will add to the current stress of already being a student

Terrible professor. Her grading contradicts her own words. She doesn't like the way you worded your assignment? Lost points. Didn't write enough about a single topic even though you've covered everything about it? Lost points. She doesn't agree with your opinion? Lost points. Very rude. Stay away.

The worst Prof I've ever had!!! grades harder than 300 level courses for Hist 100 takes points off against things you've done correctly, saying you didn't do it correctly (Example: all 1 in. margins on essays, says I didn't do that, only I did) NEED TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS TO A "T"!!!! even when u do she doesn't think u did!

(Fall 2021) No vid lectures, just reading a bunch of articles that she wants you to do assignments on. At least there were no tests, IIRC. Hardly any feedback or engagement though. I dunno what happened to teachers in Clark County after COVID, coz most of the ones I've had don't teach. Good luck if you don't understand an assignment.

Yikes, I did not read the other reviews on her before I took her. The class I took was completely online. The main complaint I had was the group projects she required. Trying to communicate and find groups with people when it's an all online course was really inconvenient. She also had a ton of assignments due each week. Wouldn't recommend

This professor shouldn't be teaching a 100-level class. Grading is inconsistent and doesn't match the rubric. Even when all listed requirements are met, points are taken off for unclear or unstated expectations. Feedback is vague or dismissive. If you want fair grading, clear expectations, or helpful feedback, avoid this class.

I wish I would have checked this site before I signed up for her class. I just dropped her because for someone who puts so much emphasis on grammar and correct writing styles, hers is convoluted and incredibly demeaning. If you made the mistake of adding her class, look at the syllabus and rules of writing to see what I mean. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!

I had my first week in her class and it went terrible. I had her for the first two days but I had a feeling I wasn't going to do well in her class. She's kind of opinionated and the way she did notes was sloppy. Quizzes always before next class and group projects..

This is one of the worst professors i've had in a while. She accused me of using a.i when i literally completed the assignment in class. You're also never correct in her class. Any decent answer is meet with a condescending tone to make you feel stupid. Would not recommend.

This professor provides rubric guidelines and indicates that as long as her questions are addressed in your response, full credit will be awarded. However, even when following the rubric and answering the assigned questions thoroughly, the feedback consistently suggests otherwise. It often feels as though there is no way to meet the expectations.
