Dr. Huggin takes a unique approach to teaching this class. Instead of strict emphasis on memorization of dates, she lectures on history as a series of stories. This makes learning about historical people and events much more memorable.

She invites class discussions on related topics to encourage student participation. In addition, she utilizes presentations and videos as supplemental materials. Dr. Huggin also stresses the importance of history research, which is often an overlooked area in most other types of college classes. The research assignments certainly improve a stude

As far as testing goes, Dr. Huggin offers a variety of questions and essays which is helpful especially if you are stronger in one of these areas versus the other.

This professor makes herself available to students outside the classroom. Overall, Dr. Huggin?s method of instruction fosters academic growth. She has an apparent passion for history and an obvious concern for her students? success in her course.

Attendance is not mandatory but she will send around a sign in sheet on days when a lot of people skip. Her tests do require reading the book and actually studying. The research project is one of the most ridiculous assignments I have ever completed. It takes hours and her expectations are VERY high. Good luck!

Ms Huggin is such a sweet lady! Her test hoever do not go with her lectures sometimes. DONT FORGET TO READ!! you have to read your chapters in order to do well in this class. Good teacher :)

She was an excellent teacher! I loved her if you want to learn history this is the one teacher that knows her stuff! I was horrible at history before I entered her class and when I left I was really educated on history. If you want to be successful this is the professor to take!

Mrs. Huggin is a wonderful professor that is passionate about her job. She wants her students to succeed and goes out of her way to offer help. She is has high expectations and you WILL have to study! (If you'd rather not work hard you pobably shouldn't be in college anyway.)Mrs. Huggin is patient, kind, and easy to talk to. Overall GREAT prof!

Dr. Huggin is amazing! She is extremely lenient and will work with you if you ever need help with any assignment. A lot of people who do not keep up with projects/assignments, and do not put a lot of effort into the class may complain, but she is a wonderful professor. She is very encouraging and truly has student?s best interest at hand.

Great professor but make sure to read the chapter that is assigned before class because she will ask questions. Test are easy if you read the textbook.

Dr. Huggin is a great instructor. You must read EVERY chapter assigned in order to stay on top. There are 3 Exams the whole semester, so each exam is packed with alot information. Study guides are provided and are very helpful, but again it's ALOT of info since the chapters are broken down into 3 tests. Would definitely recommend.

She's a good teacher. She will do her best for you to get the grade that YOU desire, but you must talk to her bc she doesn't know what you don't know or understand. Her map quizzes are easy if you take only 10 mins/day for 2 days to study (before the map quiz). Her test are a combination of power points and lectures. Oh, READ THE BOOK

Took the class online. Mandatory to read the book, but outlines and study material are provided. You can use the book for the midterm and final, which as of 2014, make up your entire grade aside from a small research paper. Dr. Huggin is INCREDIBLY helpful, I thoroughly enjoyed communicating with her and wish I would have taken her class in person!

She is a great teacher. Her Power Points are a bit vague but she does that so that students listen instead or writing stuff down. I started recording her lectures and ended up passing her class with a B. I could have gotten an A but I didn't study like I was supposed to. I will definitely take a class with her again.

For the people who complain, are the ones with a 2.0 GPA, and expect an easy A without doing anything. Like all classes in College, you have to read like 5 pages every class to know the information, and discuss later. Her PowerPoint are vague and not helpful, but then again she gives you a study guide for the test, so you don't need it. Easy A

Just like any teacher, If you pay attention and study the study guide you will pass the class!

I had so many struggles throughout the semester, but as long as you communicate with her she will work with you. Make sure you know how to cite and do annotations

Dr. Huggin is passionate about history and current events. This course is not to get an "easy A" for sitting; so if you are lazy, do not take this class. You are expected to read at least 7 pages per day for discussion. She does give a great study guide, which proves helpful. 3 tests, no cumulative final, and sometimes extra credit. Participate!!!

If you take it online, expect to teach your self everything from via book. Make sure you follow directions on all assignments to the tee. Midterm and Final are very hard and not easy to study for because a lot of questions are more her opinion. Pros: you can use your book on midterm and final. Con: you only get one min per question so not helpful

I'm not exactly sure where people struggle in Dr. Huggin's classes. She provides a study guide for all exams, and if you fill it out thoroughly using the textbook, you'll ace the test. Her lectures are helpful, but not necessary nor do you necessarily need to read before class (although she says you do.) Literally, just do the study guides. Easy A

I think she is a very fair teacher. As long as you take the time to read the book and at least browse over the power points you'll do well.

Easiest class I have ever taken. Never studied and missed a few classes and still aced every test and quiz. Professor Huggin is awesone and makes her classes fun and interesting.

One of the easiest classes I've taken. You only have 2 test (online class) midterm and final both open book. The quizzes are 5 questions and gives you 2 chances to take it. Post and reply each week for discussions which are majority of your grades. She responds to emails very fast. You should definitely take her online!

Great teacher. Easy class. Show up and study the notes and you get a easy A.

She is a really great professor who wants her students to do well. Her tests aren't difficult you just got to pay attention and study. She also gives you a study guide that tells you what to know for the test.

Without a doubt the best class I ever took. Class feels like going to hear a story. Just read the book an listen in class and you get an easy A. I never made lower than a 90 on anything in her class. The information is so interesting and relevant. She is easy to talk to and fun. I would take another class definitely.

Dr. Huggin is great! This class was super easy and fun. She is in constant contact and gives great feedback. Weekly discussion posts, a few written assignments that are easy, and open book midterm and final. Doesn't get easier.

She may seem tough but her class is really easy! Fill out the study guides thoroughly and completely for the 3 t/f quizzes & 3 tests, use the map outlines she posts on D2L to study for the 3 map quizzes, follow directions for the homework assignments she gives out & the research project, STUDY, & take good notes and you will definitely pass!

If you are looking to take her for Western Civ I online, take her. Easy A. Lenient grader, although the writing assignments are time consuming. You will read a lot. Quizzes are easy and you have multiple attempts to get a 100. If you do the study guides before the midterm/final you won't make below a 90 on the exam. Super easy A, interesting class.

Dr. Huggin is so caring. She explains things very well. Literally anyone that gets less than a B in her class is not trying at all. She literally gives you the study guides and EVERYTHING on her tests is over what she talked about in class. I know so many people with Cs and Ds in her class and they even admit they do not study for her exams.

I was scared to take an online history class but it really wasn't that bad. All you need to do is read the book and you'll do fine. Also make sure you do the writing assignments exactly the way she says to and it'll be an easy A. The discussions aren't hard either just put a little bit of thought into them and you'll be good.

The first history class that I actually enjoyed. She made it interesting and fun. She made sure to not only teach the history but to make it human and add realness. She is also very sweet! I would definitely take her again for other history classes. If you learn what's on the study guide and come to class, you'll pass with an A or B, no proble

I wouldn't say the class is too bad. It's online so pretty much everything is on you. Usually one to two weekly discussion posts on chapters in the book, and a total of 5 writing assignments that were a little difficult. Also, she allowed us to use the text book for midterm and final. Easy A if you stay focused. "you CAN do this!"

Your grades reflect the time put in. If you put in the effort you'll get the A.

Amazing prof is very nice and understanding! gives study guides, easy quizzes, very straightforward. Easy A if you put in the work, I would 100% recommend taking her class.

Not too bad. Discussion and Quiz every week but theyre not hard. Final and midterm are 70 questions but theyre not on lockdown browser! Overall, good professor.

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover just like the same as how you shouldn't judge a Karen by her name. Professor Huggin here, out of all of my 6 classes I'm taking this year has got to be the most caring professor. Everything you ask, she'll reply back in a matter of minutes. She wants you to pass her class, why are most professors not like her

Loved Professor Huggin, I had a lot going on during last semester and she was so understanding and sweet!

Dr. Huggin is literally an angel. She is very kind and professional in all of her emails. She is very available for any sort of help that the student might need and sends multiple emails each week with any changes or clarification to assignments. She is very lenient on due dates and if you need an extension just ask.

Very clear on how she grades assignments and tests/quizzes! The syllabus lays everything out so there's no room for surprises. The semester was a lot shorter, but with the group assignments and participation laid out it was very easy to stay engaged in the class. Great feedback/respond time. Essay guidelines were perfectly easy to follow.

Tbh shes a fair professor. just do your work and email her if you have any questions. her instructions are usually clear enough. she takes a long time to grade assignments though
