She is in no way EASY but she is very passionate about her craft and can teach very well. I have had many a humanities professors due to my lack of inclination toward the subject but she made it actually enjoyable to learn it. Kudos to Mrs. Styles
At last a professor at Valencia who knows what they are talking about! Professor Styles is so passionate about the way she teaches that it makes going to class more fun than a chore. While she isn't an easy A, she makes you want to learn.
Great teacher! Helps you understand everything, and knows from experence b/c she has been to the places she talks about! Definetly reccomend! As long as you do the HW, it is an easy A~
easy to understand, very organised, helpful and very smart. she makes the class fun and painless. Great professor!!! Very fair with all quizes, HW, and tests... exremely accurate study guides.
The class is very straight forward and organized. As long as you attend class you are pretty much going to get an A.
Really enjoyed her class. Even though I didnt do well on quizes. Tests were easy and homework really helped out my grade. Would recommend to anyone. Loved her!!!
She is an awesome teacher, I would recommend her to anyone!!
This class is easy and the teacher is awesome. She's very funny and gives great notes to study from. There is a quiz every week and 4 tests. But she gives you study guides that are very helpful. She will never ask you anything that isn't covered in class.
Karen Styles is the clearest Humanities professor at Valencia. Take her for Intor. to Hum. (HUM 1020) also. Talk to her, she will appreciate and remember it.
Styles is one of the best teachers I've ever had! She knows her topic and sticks to it (except when the dirty class chooses otherwise!). Very laid back and friendly. Study guides give exact info that is on the tests and quizes. Great for Gorden Rule.
awesome teacher, very smart. gives full expectations, clear due dates. study guides provide exact test info, straight forward class. do the work and you will pass. very friendly and helpful to any student, always willing to help.
drop dead gorgeous professor
Okay, I am an honors student and she is the only professor who has given me a "B." I will admit she is VERY GOOD! Her tests are OKAY; somewhat confusing! KNOW YOUR ESSAY QUESTIONS!!!!
Lets face it, there is nothing medieval about this course. There is no King Arthur and his knights! IF you are knowledgeable about the bible then you will make an A. But if you have never picked up one...you are screwed!
My prettiest teacher I've had yet at Valencia...if that is of any help.
I really don't see what is so great about her. I thought the class was hard and boring. She gives a lot of homework and her study guide is not is what is on the test
Very good class, very relaxed. As long as you do everything on time and keep up (homeworks and quizzes every class) it's an easy A.
Great professor,enjoyed her class, learned a lot.Pay attention, read, take notes and you will be fine. She's very clear and fair with the tests and study guides.
Excellent teacher, she knows her material and expects the student to do their part as well. I learn a great deal and I would recommed her to anyone who is interested in learning. If you are looking for an easy A look somewhere else. Good job Mrs. Styles
Makes the class pretty easy, doesnt like if you show up late or leave early. An easy class to pass. Whoever put drop dead georgous was way off!!
Great teacher. Her exams are difficult, but if you read and do your assignments it's an easy A. I would definitely recommend this teacher.
Mrs. Styles is so great I had her twice, and will look to see if she teaches my last humanities requirement. As long as you study the class is simple. She is very enthusiastic in her presentation and makes even a four hour class seem like one.
Mrs Styles is a WONDERFUL teacher. So few teachers are humorous and fun as well as being well eduacated and well spoken. Her tests are EXACTLY what is on her study guides...EXACTLY!
She's a great teacher.She is very easy to listen to.The class goes by pretty quick. She gives homework, but nothing hard.Basically, as long as you do it and it's somewhat correct, you'll get a 100.I personally think her study guides are wonderful.She's willing to help you and answer your questions.
Okay class. I skip it a lot though, so that says something. Kind of boring, too much philosophy! I took her class to find out about Greek/Roman art and architecture, not their ideals!
i loved this teacher! the time in class flew by so fast, she made humanities interesting. her tests were super easy and if you studied you would do good. some homework, but i've had worse. i would recommend this class to everyone! take it!! :)
I took her for Intro to Humanities. She is a terrific teacher. She will help you outside of class. She was easy and gives you study guides of what is exactly is on the test. Only 3 test, no final. She was very good and I would recommend her to anyone. Even my fiance recommended her from 4 years ago!
Teacher knows her stuff. Very reasonable with assignments. Frinedly and helpful...all around great person. Enjoyed her class and enjoyed getting to know her. Take this class, do the work and you'll do fine!
Makes the class enjoyable and interesting. Gives lots of homework assignments and quizes that help with your overall grade. A very nice lady.
She was a very nice lady and an awesome teacher. Class was interesting and easy to pass if you studied. I would take her again if i could.
She is an awesome teacher. She made me really like humanities, you will learn some interesting things about ancient times. As long as you do the work and follow her study guides you can get an A.
She is a wonderful teacher! She kept me interested in her class and I actually took her twice a great teacher with lots of knowledge. I recommend her to everyone.
I loved this class-My 3rd year & college and my favorite class so far! If you listen in class, and do all her work then you will pass with an A. She spells everything out and helps you as best she can. Her study guides explain everything on her tests & makes it easy to study and she always checks her email & responds if you have questions. AWESOME!
great teacher. one of the best i've ever had.
Great professor! Open to feedback, quick to respond to questions. Will take her for rest of Hum classes!
She is a great teacher, knows a lot about the subject and will keep you interested. I plan on taking her for my last Hum. class. highly recommended.
As a GR clas you have to write a lot, but she makes it fun. She goes right to the subject and loves what she does. Very flexible, if something goes wrong, no worries, ask for her help.
Mrs. Styles is the BEST! I had little interest in humanities until I took her Intro class. Now I'm signed up for Greeks & Romans in the spring. She loves what she does, is very clear and makes learning fun. Gives study guides, several small quizzes, 3 big tests and quite a few homeworks. Just do your HW and study and you'll be all set. She's great!
She is very clear and goes by the syllabus. She inspires you to think in a different way. If you just pay attention and study for the quizzes, you will do fine on the tests. She is very helpful and explains in a complex way so everyone can learn! If you have a ? she will definitly give you a detailed answer.I would definitly recommend her to anyone
Too easy, I didn't learn crap in her class. Barely studied and got an A. Didn't inspire me to do much except leave early because I hate watching powerpoints for whole classes.
This class is easy. She makes things easy to understand. All of her assignments compliment each other so you cant get a bad grade. If you dont do well on test dont worry you can improve your grade with another assignment. Would definitely recommend this teacher/class to everyone!!!!
OH MY GOSH YOU WILL LOVE THIS TEACHER! I took her for Into. to Humanities, Late Roman and Med., AND Greak and Roman. She is a teacher who knows her matierial. Over all the class is a VERY EASY. You should get a "A,B, OR C" (if u do all the work..and study)in the class
She is a little boring with all her powerpoints but if you take the time to listen she does know her stuff. I took a previous professor who put me to sleep, she at least keeps it interesting.
GREAT TEACHER! highly recommend. Easy class, easy A, makes it interesting.
AWESOME TEACHER! I would take her for every class if I could. I absolutley loved her teaching style, lots of class discussion.. she is very intereted in what she teaches and know alot about the world and it's history. GREAT PROFFESSOR, I recomend her highly!! take he class if there are any left available.
She is AWESOME. I wasn't too interested in taking humanities, but it's required, so I took her class and it was probably my favorite course taken thus far! She is so passionate about what she teaches and she makes the assignments interesting. This class has a potential to be boring, but hers is FAR FROM. Easy + Interesting... what could be better?
People liking her this much is proof that no one likes to actually learn anymore. I think she disliked me for leaving early every day and rarely showing up and I still got an A.
Good Professor. Easy assignments, and as long as you turn everything in on time and study for the quizzes and tests you should get an A, I did. I took it over the summer and it was 3 1/2 hours long, it got to be a little boring after the first 1 1/2 of class. If you take it during the summer semester, you will have less assignments.
Very nice teacher. Took over the summer also. Just do the work and you will do fine.
I must say I hated HUM, but wow this teacher is the BEST, I LIKE HER A LOT, she made HUM my most interesting class ever, hers classes are so interesting, finally i am getting A' actually 100 on my test, why cuz so interesting, that i enjoy studying, she will give u study guide for test, however there a lot of writing requiered though for this class
Styles was so cool esp to take for intro to humanities! If you participate during class, it is soo much fun and she's really nice and will help you with anything. She tells you exactly what's on quizzes and tests all you have to do is study. I learned A LOT in her class so anyone who says they didn't learn anything is lying :-)
SUCH an awesome teacher!! She makes class so interesting and her assignments are super easy! Take her class!!
I am currently taking her now, and I thought she was going to be a personable teacher, so I try and ask questions and stay involved in class, the other day she snapped and was like IM NOT YOUR FRIEND IM YOUR DAMN TEACHER, TRY NOT TO TAKE MY CLASS NEXT SEMESTER! anyways I have an A and it's an okay class but she gives a ton of homework and reading
Fantastic teacher. Yes, there are a lot of papers, but they are pretty easy. And there is some reading. Most of what's on the tests are straight from her lectures with some stuff in the book. She gives study guides with everything on them, so no surprises. Just go to class and you'll do fine. She actually keeps it exciting!
This teachers is awesome. It reminds me of being in high school when everything was alittle bit easier. I got a B+ in her class just for doing hw and listening to her lectures. FUN lectures not boring. Take her shes cool. I'm taking her again for Greek and Roman.
prof styles is a great teacher. she does give a lot of quizzes and three major tests but they should be a cinch if you crack open the book and listen when she's talking. she's really helpful and her study guides really help. and right before a quiz or tests, if you don't understand something, she'll give you the exact answer on the test that she
Lots of hw assignments however she is very lenient with grading these if you attempt them; easy pts that will help your grade. There is a quiz for each chpt on the terms which can be a little difficult however she will drop the lowest quiz grade. Three tests including the final (not comprehensive).
Best professor I've had. Test are easy because she gives you a study guide and goes over questions on them. That goes for quizzes too! She gives really good lectures and it teaches you a lot. Shes lecturing b/c its going to come up again on tests, not like other teachers who lecture about stuff for nothing. Take her if the classes aren't booked =)
Great teacher, very knowledgable and dedicated, makes humanities interesting. I learned a lot and I wasn't even interested in taking the class.
take this class
Good teacher! Very clear on what she expects of you and tests are on the materials that she review you on. No supprise or trick questions. As long as you study the review sheets, you will do fine. Lots of homework though. but she grade hw very easy. Highlly recommend!
GREAT PROFESSOR!!!! She is great!! Greek/Roman has a lot of work but she makes it easy and she is extremely fair!! She will work with you!! If I had anymore HUM classes to take...I would take her!!! Do yourself a favor and just register for here!!
She is AWESOME. I wasn't too interested in taking humanities, but it's required, so I took her class and it was probably my favorite course taken thus far! She is so passionate about what she teaches and she makes the assignments interesting. This class has a potential to be boring, but hers is FAR FROM. Easy + Interesting... what could be better?
Mrs Styles is GREAT! I've had her twice now for both Intro and Late&Roman still taking her for Greek&Roman just for fun. She is passionate in what she does and applies her experiences from travelling to europe in her lectures. Very open with students opinions. Great class! Take her if you have the chance!
Great teacher. I told her I was gonna put a lot of crazy things up on this site, but I've decided not to.
karen Styles is def. a good teacher. All u have to do is ur h/w and study for the lil quizzes she gives and the tests of course and u should do well. There is no reason anyone should't get lower than a B in her class. Loved her a lot! :)
The nicest, coolest woman ever! Makes the subject very interesting. Always do her homeworks she doesn't assign alot and the ones she does aren't hard at all and study for her tests again they aren't hard but you deft need to study to get a decent grade. She's the best teacher I had all semester, I HIGHLY recommend her! =)
karen is such a good teacher. she makes humanities fun and interesting. before her, i hated humanities but i loved her so much, i took her again for another class. homework is easy and fun, she tells you exactly whats on tests and she accepts late work. if you do the work, this class is a guaranteed easy A. i STRONGLY recommend her.
Renaissance and Borque-hasn't been to this subject matter in a long time and she is learning along with us with this new book. But it's a great book and she's fabulous! Very knowledgable and loves participation. If you love the subject, you won't mind the tests, quizzes or homework. A lot of busy work and writing but she refers back to everything
This teacher is INSANE!!! This class is very time consuming!!! Way too much work!! She takes the gordon rule thing way too far!I am not a lazy student that expected an easy A. You have to work hard! I would avoid this teacher if u can! Each test is liking stuyding for a cumlative final!! she puts too much information on one test!!!!!!
Took her for Intro and now for Renaissance and Baroque. LOVE HER! She knows what she is talking about. I will be taking her next semester for Greek and Roman. You do need to to study for test and do your homework, but other than that she is a down to earth easy professor.
CRAZY!! I took her this semester and she didn't even know what she was doing. Made up everything as she went. Gives you assignments that she didn't even know the answer to. Tests and quizzes take up a lot of time. If you are going to take her make sure you have no life! Way too much work for a humanities class. Not reccommended!
GREAT TEACHER! lectures are easy and interesting. I took some notes but mostly listened in class tests are easy if you show up and listen. I will take her for my other humanities classes.
Hands down the best teacher at VCC. She's so helpful and clear on what she wants. Her lectures are always interesting and she tells you exactly whats going to be on quizzes and test before. Fantastic and knowledgeable teacher, Karen is really smart and challenges you to use your mind. Easy A!!! Plus, she's not bad to look at...
Mrs. Styles is the BEST! She really cares not just for her work but for her students. Classes were always interesting. She gives you most of the answers for assignments, but tests can be difficult... you must study!
Good teacher, you'll have fun in the class. I would definitely recommend.
She loves to give busy work, I was excited going into the class but I was happy when it was finally done, I felt like i could of learned more. She's nice but sometimes moody.
The BEST humanities teacher there is at VCC. Very clear on what she wants on her assignments. Just take notes, pay attention in class, and you'll do fine on the exams. She does give study guides for the exams too!
Second semester taking her. Loved her! If you are not interested in Humanities, take her. Makes class very interesting!
She's great!!!! Awesome and makes every topic discussed interesting. I wish she was a mythology teacher so i could take her. I definately recommend her to everyone. Sweet and caring and lenient at times. Open on discussing any type of topic! :)
she is an amazing teacher she had great teaching skills and her study guides really help you. Intro
She is a nice teacher. only down fall...she gives a lot of work to build up on you very quickly. a lot of huge projects and papers. but more points i guess better your chance for a better grade. Overall, great helpful teacher.
Mrs. Styles is an awesome professor. I took her Intro to Humanities course and got hooked on the subject. The tests are easy, multiple choice, short answer, word association. You have two mandatory cultural event reports you must do before the end of the semester or you fail the course. I'm taking her for Greek and Roman next semester.
Such an easy class and she's really nice. She's always there to help you when you need it. Her quizzes and tests are easy; you just need minimal memorizing really. Highly recommend her.
Nice teacher, but you must study a lot!!!! She gives a lot of quizes and big tests. You have to study and memorize a lot for the exams, prepare to work in this class.
Best and favorite class ive had yet! Class is easy, just dont be stupid and act up in her class. Im definitely taking her again for another HUMANITIES!!
She is a nice teacher, but get ready to do the work in this class. She gives quizes on every chapter and study guides as well. There are also three papers on religious subjects. You will also read an additional book to your text book called "Song of Roland" which is hard to read with followed up written assignment about the book. Three tests total.
Great teacher!I had her for intro to Humanities.She's very clear on what you need to know for the quizzes&tests.You get a study guide every test.Only use book for definitions for quizzes.Extremely clear on what she expects as students,first day a little strict about her rules but isn't mean throughout the sem.Easy class&emails back quick!
Extremely nice. She knows her stuff and she is passionate about what she teaches, which made it enjoyable to attend class. Her teaching method makes it easy to take in and retain information. Easy, nice, and helpful. Take her class!
She gives a lot of homework and paper writting assingments. Way to much work for an elective class. Her assingments very time consuming. I tnink she is a little nuts to be honest.
Teacher is awesome, she goes over everything on tests and makes it crystal clear.. She is always there to help and you don't have to use the book to often she covers everything in the lectures. I got a 88% on our first major exam without cracking open the book just from listening to her lectures! Shes great
She is the best professor I've had so far. Organized, funny, accessible, and just generally good at teaching. Her class takes work but you learn a lot and it's definitely worth it.
Prior to taking this class I thought it would be my least favorite course, but it turned out to be my favorite. Her lectures are amazing and she makes it easy to retain the information. Definitely take her!
I've had this professor for 3 classes and she's very consistent with her teaching method. She gives a lot of homework but they help you out when it comes to the quizzes and tests. She is well informed about all types of humanities courses, so if humanities is your least favorite topic, take her. She makes the topic easy to understand and enjoyable.
Very nice and sweet professor. The work is straight up. Notes on online, after class. Book was cheap+. Very knowledgeable+. My class, except for a few people, is very boring-. Make the class [fun!] because she has the capability to make the class exciting. Test and quizzes are easy, just study the s.g. and notes and read the book.
she is awesome!!!!!!!!!!i really liked her class !!! she is very cool ,i got A's on all her test!!!!take her!!
I highly recommoned you do take Mrs.Styles. I love her because she is an awesome teacher. She explains us to understand!! She gives us quizzes and study guides;she is a good organizer. She has a good heart.

Mrs. Styles is awesome! It's easy to get a good grade because she actually teaches! If you don't go to class and don't do the study guides then you will fail! She gives you every opp to succeed and really loves what she's doing, very very passionate. Strongly recommend her!
I like her class she really knows how to teach and she makes the class fun and exciting. Its really good when your teacher knows what they are talking about. Her quizzes are really easy she has a study guide for the quiz and the test and she put the powerpoints and notes online I really recommend her
Great teacher, I really wasn't interested in humanities until I took her class. She really knows her stuff. She gives a study guide for tests, most of the questions come from her lecture so TAKE NOTES! Also there is a vocab quiz each chapter. Easy Easy! Just study. She's an all around great teacher I can't wait to take her for my next HUM course.
Mrs. Styles is very passionate about what she does. FINALLY a teacher who actually teaches the subject and then some rather than waste class time. She will give you everything you need. Will go over any questions before any exams/quizzes to make sure you understand! She is the best humanities professor at Valencia!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Makes learning interesting, knows subject very well. Take her, you won't regret it.
Prof. Styles is Great ! JUST DO THE WORK , Cultural Event Papers and Study for the Quizzes that are every other week and You'll be Successful. There also 3 Test. Her assignments are really easy & she is a very fair grader.
She's very easy and tells you exactly whats on the test. Her quizzes come right off the study guide she gives you and you can ask her questions right before the test. I got an A and didn't have to study til 10 mins before test & quizzes. Tests come from quizzes before and lectures/powerpoint
Professor Styles is a wonderful teacher! Very helpful, clear in her expectations, makes the subject very interesting! I DO recommend everyone to take her! She gave us study guides and quizzes to help us get ready for tests, which were fairly easy if attended the class, took notes and studied :)
Awesome professor! First time I have seen someone who both teaches well and gives easy works. Lectures are fun, she's really knowledgeable, sweet and hilarious. Quizzes and tests are based on homework, pretty easy. Take notes carefully. Check out book in library to save money, no use in class. I got 100% on all quizzes and A+ on tests. Take her!
I had her and she was AWESOME. She gives worksheets to do that will later be for quizes. She gives you study guides for your tests. She is very helpful, & funny & Her homework is easy. I suggest you take her
Mrs. Styles is a wonderful teacher! I wasn't interested in Humanities before, but she made it very interesting. Anyone should consider taking her she gives study guides for both test and quizzes!
AWESOME teacher! I took her for 2 classes and I recommend her to anybody! Very nice, easy busy work and 3 tests. Quizzes are easy! She gives you study guides for quizzes and tests! TAKE HER
worst class I have ever taken. she throws so much USELESS info at you and then tests you on it, not to mention this is her personal beliefs. i can't even figure out what i'm being tested on. there is so much info that is irrelevant to what we're learning, yet it is on the test. if you want to have no life, this class is for you! happy slaving away!
She is an awesome teacher. Very very knowledgeable and passionate about her teaching. I loved her and highly recommend her.
She promotes a lot of free thinking. Which I think many professors sadly do not to do. Her way of teaching has inspired me to consider teaching humanities my self, if that gives you any idea of how amazing her class was.
You will learn ALOT in the class. She is interested in her students and will answer any questions you have. I looked forward to her class daily because it was a joy. It is an EASY A, but only if you pay attention in class, do the study guides, homework, and ask questions you aren't sure about. I LOVE HER!!!
She is an amazing professor! She is very clear in what she wants. Study guides for tests and quizzes. And before each quiz, she answers any questions you had when you were doing the study guide! Sometimes she answers all of them! Haha! And study whatever is on the study guides for the test because you'll definitely see it again. Take her!
Ms.Styles, taught this class a a hybrid for summer 2012 and I enjoyed it very much. She is a nice person and understanding as long as you keep her updated and ask questions your good. She teaches with a passion, expects you to do your work as this was a hybrid is was more required but she gives you you time complete assignments and grades fairly.
AMAZING teacher, she likes teaching and is very eloquent loved her teaching style, she makes clear what she expects from you since day 1 as long as you do the worksheets and reviews you should be able to get a good grade, take her you wont regret it.
Not the most interesting of classes. However, she is clear on what she expects. Do the study guides and you'll pass the tests. It was a pretty easy class without a whole lot of writing.
Such an awesome professor. She is very clear on the information and what she expects for quizzes and tests. Very easy and study guides are identical to tests and quizzes. Humanities is not interesting to me at all but she made it fun and i liked being in class. Take her!
Mrs. Styles is one of the greatest professors. She can be funny, and she is very smart and clear. Right away you know what the class is about and what she expects. She manages to make old ideas contemporary and make sense. If you are taking Humanities, take her.
I loved this class! Mrs. Styles promotes free-thinking and has a good sense of humor. She is always there for her students. Quizzes were all easy multiple choice. She has three chapter tests the whole semester. If you take this class you will really appreciate the study guides she makes and how she always uploads the PowerPoints to Atlas. Take her!
really nice teacher really passionate about subject make sure you do all the study guides shes gives online for future exams and quizes turn in paper on time i did not really read book just took good notes from her powerpoint lectures and movies you should do fine she also give tons of extra credit opportunity so no way to fail
Professor Styles is really energetic and explains the material in a manner in which you will understand. The class is not a cake walk, and you have to work to get a good grade. I personally think that she is sexy, that is why I gave her a HOT rating but then again I'm a little older than the average student. Take her, and you will enjoy her.
One of the Best Professor's you could ever take at Valencia Period! All her lectures were crystal clear, power point's were concise and she definitely cares about her students learning. Please do yourself a favor and take her! Awesome teacher!
Professor Styles is extremely passionate about Humanities. The class was not terribly hard but definitely not a walk in the park either. You have a quizzes on every chapter with a 40 question study guide for only a 15 question quiz. Homework is a lot of somewhat difficult reading. Shes a very nice lady but overall she wouldn't be my first choice.
Professor Styles is one of the best professors I have taken and I've been to another college before Valencia. She is passionate about her teaching. There's a good amount of assignments but it's relatively easy. Some assignments are harder than others but the points reflect that. Very good discussions. Few quizzes, about 3 Test including the final.
Literally, my favorite class and favorite professor. She is so amazing, made me enjoy the subject. She does give a lot of work, but the material isn't too tricky. She offers late passes where you can make up a test, quiz, or assignment. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!
LOVE Mrs. Styles!!! Very clear on everything she expects, and it is not at all unreasonable. She answers any questions you may have fully, and is great at teaching. She puts all of her powerpoints on blackboard too, so those are great to study from. If you get the chance, TAKE HER!
she was my intro to hum teacher. she's amazing, knows everything about what she is teaching, easy homework,expect a quiz almost every class. it was an easy A.
Such a great professor! Mrs. Styles cares about her students and makes the material so easy to learn. I didn't think I was going to enjoy the class as much as a did. Quizzes are exceptionally easy & her tests are very doable. I ended up with an A & would purchase the book so the study guides are easy to complete.
Professor Styles can seem sort of flight but she is very interested in her subject. She is always willing to learn more and makes the material interesting and sometimes even funny. Beware of harsh grading on written assignments and know if you don't do the readings you will not pass.
Took for intro to hum and I currently have an A. You don't need the book you can rent the Expect homework, not hard but not something you can do right before class. Im taking her next semester for another humanities class. Very nice lady! do you work, study for quizzes/tests from her study guides and you will passs
Prof. Styles gives really great lectures, but (at least for the Honors class) the best part is class discussion. It is fairly easy to pass, as long as you actually do all of the work on time and to the best of you're ability.
This was a pretty easy honors class. She's pretty chill, but lets her opinion slip in a bit too much IMO and doesn't control the classroom very well. Beware, she might give you homework over the break. She's not an A+ teacher, but I'd give her a B. Decent teacher; if you need the credits take her.
Took Styles for intro to humanities and for Late Roman and Medieval. Book is required to be ready for the chapter quizzes. A study guide is provided for every quiz (super easy quizzes if you do the study questions) and test. Lectures are not boring because she knows what she is talking about. 3 tests and a final. Not cumulative. Would recommend her
This was a gordon rule so we had to write a lot. She tried to make them assignments instead of essays to save our grades which helped. The textbook is essential to pass the chapter quizzes. Relatively easy A. Tests are very similar to study guides.
Mrs. Styles is awesome. She was very helpful when I had issue. Always communicate with her. She's the kind of professor that loves her job and you feel that in her lectures. Be sure to read up on the material as quizzes and tests often cover things she doesn't in class. USE HER STUDY GUIDES. I would've got an A if I did! There were some essays too.
Professor Styles is AMAZING! She is there for all questions and concerns. She responds to emails and phone calls, in a timely manner. I recommend her to everyone that has to take humanities.
I loved professor Styles! I hated humanities and she made me fall in love with it. Quizzes every few weeks but posts all the questions on blackboard. basic worksheet homework that is not time consuming. lectures are interesting and has the class engaged. work is due in class and not online. not too strict about phones. would def take her again!!!
Have tsken for intro to hum and greek and roman. Clear on assignments. Gives stugy guides for quizzes and tests
Do yourself a favor and take her for Greek & Roman and Intro to Humanities. Best teacher ever. You learn so much
I hate humanities but she made is very possible to pass. All you have to do is your work from the book and her study guides are just whats on the test which is so helpful! Only had 3 major tests the entire semester
Prof Styles is an amazing teacher. She takes so much pride on what she does and her lectures make you interested in the class. She is very knowledgable and straight forward with assignments. She is hillarious too. There are several assigments but pretty easy ones. I highly recommend her and I would absolutely take her again if I could.
Prof Styles is probably the best teacher at valencia. She keeps her students up to date with assignments. She is a fast grader, normally in blackboard within a couple days of turn in( if not the next day). Straight forward in tests and connects with the students. She makes the information easy to understand, even though the information is hard.
Took her during the summer. Very relaxing class. I learned a lot and I sat in the way back. Pay attention to her, her lectures are interesting and she is very good at making analogies to understand her completely. Quizzes were once a week, very easy if you just complete the study guide (answers are in the book you just need to read).Would recoomend
Great teacher and great class
Professor Styles is THE best professor that I have had in my entire time at Valencia. She is a very natural teacher so listening to her lectures is just like listening to someone tell a story. She knows how to teach you so that you'll remember the material. As long as you pay attention you are sure to pass her class with an A.
She's very sweet lady, but if you do not take notes, and pay attention to her lectures YOU WONT PASS. but overall she is easy going, and helps you alot.
Karen Styles is great. She lectures every day; there are occasional group assignments in class. Homework maybe once every two weeks. She is interesting and easy to learn from. I find her to have a great sense of humor. Highly suggest.
I've graduated valencia & I'm in university. This is still the best teacher I've ever had. I took her twice in the same semester for both Greek & Roman and intro to Humanities. By faaaarr my favorite semester. Do yourself a favor & take this teacher
LOVE HER! She clearly loves what she does and her lectures are very easy to follow. I liked her Intro to Humanities so much I'm taking her next semester for Greek/Roman. Take her, you won't regret it!
Amazing Teacher! Took her online (Which I think was her first time as she said), and the class was absolutely amazing! The work was really easy, she gives you study guides for ever quiz and test, and the discussion posts really got me thinking! I really enjoyed this class and everything I learned from it! Take this professor, she's fantastic.
At first I heard so many good things about this professor,but then when in the class its a different story. Her test contain crazy amounts of information that she doesn't sometimes cover . Also she assigns papers with the hardest topics based on specific details and goes over the paper once and gives test study guides only a couple days ahead.
Styles is an easy going and kind prof. She cares about her class. She has a few writing assignments, but nothing ever more than 500 words, and tests come straight from the practice tests. Textbook is mandatory, but it's cheap and easy to understand. All material comes straight from the textbook. Attendance is mandatory, but class is easy and fun.
You will read 1/3 of the Odyssey in the class and answer tons of questions, but it was actually really fun. She teaches in such a way that it stays in your head and you don't even need to memorize it. Study for tests and you'll do fine. About 3 big writing assignments, mostly in class work and online quizzes. About 4 in class tests.
Prof. Styles is a great professor! I took her online intro to humanities course and it was so easy! There are 2-3 20 question quizzes each week as well as a discussion board. It was super easy. I never got lower than a 90 on any assignment. She isn't a tough grader, super understandable and replies within the next day via email. I HIGHLY Recommend!
I would totally take this professor again! I have taken her for intro and just finished having her for Greek and Roman Humanities. The material is presented to you in an understandable manner. You know what assignments are due for the whole term via syllabus. 10/10 professor.
I took Prof. Styles over the summer period so it was a little sped up but it was still easily managed with taking other classes. Her lectures and additional content via youtube videos are great. She gives you questions to answer as you watch the videos or read the chapters and most of the quiz questions come from those. Overall great professor.
BRO i love her. i just had her for intro and now i want to have her for late roman and medieval. As long as you do her work and pay attention while she lectures (which isnt hard because she makes everything very interesting) youll pass with an A no doubt.
She helped me to have fun with the subject she was teaching she also was very caring and helped me a lot with my final paper.
Karen Styles is an amazing professor. She is thorough and detailed in all her lectures , she makes sure you understand the material and she is kind and easy going. However, in order to do well in this class or in any class, one must do the work and study.
Professor Styles is AMAZING! She loves teaching and it shows in how she responds to my emails. She has never hesitated to respond quickly and is never rude about any questions. I just adore her! I wish she could teach all of the classes at Valencia College because you are actually learning something and enjoying it! I hope she never retires!
Skip her class! Too much work, every class: quiz, essay and reading assignment. Takes her forever to grade papers. She can add new assignment just like that, tough grader!
She is the best! She always helps students, she really wants you to pass! Just do the work and get A, she will work with you!! She is awesome! Love her!!!
Just take her! The best professor ever! Very caring, will help you any time! Amazing professor! if you need A, get her!
Lots of work. You have to watch videos, read power points, read the textbook, upload papers. Does not accept late work. Put in the work and you will get the grade. Most test and quiz are easy as long as you do the handouts associated with them. Missing assignments will effect grades drastically.
The class was easy just a lot of work. The study guide has the same questions as a test.
Really loved Prof. Styles! She really know what she's talking about. In a c;ass that can get really boring she finds a way to keep you interested. One of the best class I've ever taken. Not too much work, if you give the littlest bit of effort you'll do just fine. Super accessible, easy to talk to, and very willing to work with you.
what a fantastic teacher, period. I took the short summer term-Greek/Roman Hum-It was a lot of work for those 6 weeks! But, practically impossible to NOT have each assignment done by its date. I received an A or b+ on every task. Its open notes and open books on test and quizzes, (minus the final). She's funny, caring, personable and knowledgeable!
Took her online class. Multiple assignments but they were easy. Gives feedback on every assignment which is motivating. I recommend her.
I hate history because I find it all confusing and boring, but Ms. Styles turned that all around! She made learning easy and fun. Honestly, her lectures make me feel like I'm listening to bedtime stories. I actually remember the stuff she teaches! Her note-taking guides are also great help with the exams. Text book wasn't really used, but TAKE HER!
Shes an amazing teacher! The lectures are very well stated. Essays will be assigned with 3-4 exams.
I dont even know what to say about her. I think shes probably gifted for teaching. She doesnt overwhelm you, it is a kind of an easy A, but she teaches everything she has to and makes everything clear. And more, shes very nice and knows how to handle a classroom. One of the best teachers Ive ever had. Just take her.
Definitely take Professor Styles' HUM online class. While the course can be challenging at times, she was great at providing information for exams. She also teaches using the textbook and some questions on exams will be info in the textbook only. Overall, she was always there to help if I had questions and I would recommend her for sure.
So get ready for a lot of homework BUT the homework goes right with the assignments. If you do the homework, you'll always get an A on the assignments. Although humanities is kind of a boring subject to some, she keeps it very engaging with videos that help a lot along with her lectures. She gives test study guides that are a life saver!
I usually never rate a professor but please take professor styles! she is such a caring professor. her work is not hard and she replies fast to your email. I love her and I wish I could have taken her face to face.
I highly recommend Professor Styles. She was on top of her grading, gave encouraging feedback, had a pretty easy class if you put the appropriate work into it. She was kind and quick to fix any mistakes on her end. This was my favorite course for this semester! Highly recommend.
She is the worst professor ever. Don't trust those good rate about her. Its just lies. I regret taking her. She doesn't care about her student. She takes forever to grade the tests and assignments. She is very rude, And don't care about your grades.
Prof. Styles is a good teacher. Her class is easy and straightforward as long as you read the material. I personally liked some of her assignment responses but for others, they confused me. Maybe it's just me not knowing the course material. Take her class she is good.
This has been one of my favorites classes and professor Styles makes sure to make it fun and educational. Her assignments are easy to understand and it has lots of educational information, with pictures and videos included. The discussions are great and allows you to interact with other classmates (even though it's an online class).
She is very strict when it comes to late work. Her assignments lock on the due date. She is very caring and understanding. If you do your assignments then you should me good. Her test are open book and you can use the activities you have done on canvas on the test.
BEST ONLINE CLASS EVER! Even though she has a strict set of grading rules this Professor really understands what her students are going through! Theres at least three assignments due each week and there all honestly really easy. To fail this class you either have to be an idiot, or just hella lazy lol! I most def recommend!!
Professor Styles seemed really interested in the content she teaches, and her lectures were chill and engaging. The class is EASY. Take this class
Professor Styles is a very kind and caring professor, she knows what she's talking about and explains everything in a pretty straightforward manner. There are three tests, one in person and the others online. The workload at the beginning of the semester is a lot (but manageable) but as the semester progresses it becomes wayyy less work. Take her!
I took this course as an introduction to my Dual Enrollment program and it was likely the best introduction to the online program I could've had. She keeps up with her students, gives constructive feedback, and doesn't give heavy workloads (besides the occasional SoftChalk Lesson). If you're willing to take notes, you'll have a good time here.
Professor Karen is the best choice for you, the organization of the class is clear, the assignments are easy to understand and she cares about the class by sending more information about an assignment in case. Be ready to read a lot but it's not a big deal since her modules are easy to understand as well. Take her, you won't regret!
She's a great professor and her class requires effort as well as she is great with emailing and feedback! I definitely reccomend.
I honestly enjoyed her as a professor. She is an extremely easy class. All of her test including her final is all open book or you can use google. Yes, there was a lot a to do, but it was absolutely manageable! If you failed it's probably because you didn't try because she gives you the tools you need and gives you plenty of time to do it.
Genuinely interesting lectures. Work, at first, seems intimidating but the soft-chalk lessons are quick/easy (like 5 min) and the assignments are straight-forward. The only difficult bit were the essays but she allowed us to revise them even after grading and was able to receive full credit. Would recommend if like Greek and Roman history/ writing.
Professor Styles runs a well-organized class with engaging modules and manageable workload. The assignments are straightforward, and the tests are open-book. I found Unstuck AI and the class discussions particularly helpful for study prep.
taking her rn, awesome prof, she'll take off a point here an there, but most assignments are like 30+ points so it doesn't really matter, and when she does take off points, the reasoning is just. also the assignments are kinda interesting and she grades everything pretty fast.
Very easy teacher and overall great experience to take her class, along as you do the work you will be fine. HIGHLY recommend that you take her.
Professor Styles is a wonderful, caring professor! She does not grade harshly and as long as you pay attention to the lectures and take notes, this class is pretty easy, as she allows notes on tests. She answers emails in a very timely manner, attendance is mandatory but worth it, and no textbook is required. Professor Styles is a 10/10!
She's the perfect example of a caring, inspiring teacher. Every class feels welcoming and engaging because she creates a space where everyone feels comfortable. She motivates us to think deeply, learn passionately, and see the beauty in humanity, making learning truly inspiring.
I have not taken any classes in three years, yet this class was fair and easy. Quizzes are great, no honor lock, unlimited time, and three chances. There are 3 unit exams, which are timed with only one chance; however, there is an easy study guide, so don't worry. Assignments vary from discussions to worksheets, nothing crazy.
prof is very passionate about the humanities. lots of reading but it's interesting and easy to get through. almost all the work is multiple choice, just a few writing assignments based on basic reading interpretation. I've heard its a pretty new class but she adapted well. didn't give a final exam, just 3 tests over the course of the semester
Professor Styles explains things well and gives clear instructions/grading criteria. This is a very lecture heavy class though. It is likely there will be 2-4 lectures to read per week, plus an assignment or discussion post. The class itself is not hard, it's just a lot of reading and taking notes. Tests are open book, but timed.
