She was pretty cool. pretty down to earth. went off topic a bit but it was cool. didnt pay much to reading but still got a B. pretty satisfied. would recmmend for non history majors.

A big chunk of her tests are essays. So see if you can make her laugh a few times and get on her good side. Definitely dedicate some time to study for this class. The studyload is a bit overwhelming but the study guide helps narrow the the number of topics down from 2.5 billion to just under 500,000

Awesome teacher! I suggest getting a group from the class together for a half hour before tests and it will make it a million times easier. Be creative on the movie paper and you'll get extra points! TURN UR PHONE OFF IN CLASS!!! take lots of notes and the class is a breeze.

vip-make sure your phone is off, i saw her fail someone b/c of a phone ringing. study guides and reading the chapters she lists will get you a good grade. make sure u do her essays on her exams!plus u can do extra credit that can raise ur grade 10%!!!

this teacher cool and funny. On the multiple chocie tests she has retarded answers Darth Vader is persian emperor..., just read the book and know the important termes & you'll pass...i passed without even trying that much.

I loved her. If you are in class and show afford, she will help you.

Professor Addison is a very good professor. Her lectures are very helpful, and she actually knows what she is talking about. This is the first history class I actually learned something in. You have a choice between multiple choice and essay for the exam. Essay is easier. Take home assignments were extremely helpful in preparing for the test.

DO THE ESSAY! On the first exam, almost everyone did the MC, and 98% of the people got grade below C. Her grades easy on the essays, so do them! Have to read the book cuz she does not go into much details during the lectures. Do all extra credit and attend the class, will get you an A.

she is awesome

A cool and funny teacher. Take notes and read the book to do good on the Essay(which you should do and not the multiple choice). Learn bad words in different languages and it will get you extra credit.

DUDE! one word! THE ESSAY! shiet! i felt like i was in the 80's era when i was in her class..dunno why!? but i passed it! yeaaa!

Lectures are important than the book. I suggest that you get SparkChart Western Civilization and use that to get an idea of what she's talkin about. Get all the facts down and then use online to strengthen ur knowledge. DO THE ESSAY. I only wrote two paragraphs, 10 sentences and got 85 and i didn't study. TURN OFF CELL or YOU'LL GET 0.

i like her. her lectures are articulate to the subject matter. In order to succeed, i think the student should come to lecture classes. Her test are easy if u choose to do the essay. she will let u know what would be her essay questions b4 exam so u could draft a possible essay b4 test. I highly recommend her.

Best professor ever. Super-light work-load and EXTREMELY nice and understanding (She even setup a makeup mid-term for 13 people. Only I showed up). Really cool lady; friendly, funny, cusses with the right students (hehe). Not really more I can say except that she is badass and more willing to help people out that I have ever seen a professor be.

she is a good proffessor, she is very understandle, and chill. a little tricky in the multiple choice, but mainly tests are okay.

Absolutely awesome professor. Knowledgeable, helpful, and has a real enthusiasm for the subject. She DOES make you work- you have to read and do the research, or you will fail the class. But then again, if you aren't up to doing a little bit of work, why are you in college in the first place? I consider myself really lucky to have had her.

The downside is she can be very sloppy but the upside is she's flexible with deadline as long as you finally turn in your assignments so that she can grade them. It takes 2 or more weeks for her to return test, so it's kinda hard to know where you're at in case you decide to drop. But she's VERY knowledgeable and articulate and passionate about hi

Great teacher with extraordiany knowledge in her subject. Take her for her lecture class-- you won't be disappointed. CHOOSE THE ESSAY, NOT MULTIPLE CHOICE! She is very fun and witty, which makes up for all the tests returned late. Take her...I swear: she's not as bad or hard as they say.

She is INCREDIBLE. I'd take her class again just for fun... She is funny, she knows how to lecture really well and convey the information very clearly. In hot days, she could wear some sexy clothes ;). As my followers have said. DO THE ESSAY! it is very easy.. Before the mid-terms, learn a phrase in a foreign language, it will get you bonus points.

Proff addison was probably the best history teachers ive had. She really knows what shes talking about, esspecially russian history. The class is not that hard..the tests are easy..5 short definitions and an essay (which she grades pretty easily)..even if she didnt grade easy, she makes the class so interesting and clear that any could understand

This teacher is neither the worst nor the best teacher I've ever had. She's pretty funny and relaxed; she won't freak out if your cell phone rings. textbook is totally useless and a waste of money. Just know the vocab and have a general idea of the topic for writing the essay. You can turn in an essay you write on a relevant topic for EC.

Very good teacher! Lectures were well structured and very laid back. She was using a new book so the test she gave didn't always sync up with the chapters assigned, but the lecture and book combined are more than enough to pass her class. Take good notes, and read the relevant sections in the book.

She's gives you a choice to either take multiple choice or essay tests and tells you that you will probably score higher on the essay tests, but people still choose multiple choice and get D's. I think it's funny.

Amazing teacher, fun class. Very fun teacher who has an awesome sense of humor. Easy subject and class, just pay attention and do the 3 assignments, which the tests are based on. DO THE DAMN ESSAY, DONT DO THE SCANTRON. You really have to do absolutely nothing to fail the class. Put a little effort, and you will get an A. TAKE HISTORY WITH HER!

I had her online class and it was great. Got an A without a prob, and I'm not a 4.0, so i don't know what that person was tripping on. There are only two assignments that are study guides so there are no surprises on the tests. She answered email fast and always answered questions. Take the essay.

Professor Addison is a great teacher. The class is not easy because there is a lot of material to read, but she makes it fun. Her tests are either multiple choice or essay. Please! pick up the essay, study hard and enjoy her class...She is the best.

ONLINE - Assignments are EASY, but the tests are SUPER HARD. Unfortunately, I suck at writing essay's in a test.. so I always did the scantron which greatly affected my grade. I liked doing the ID's... it's a great tool for online learning. Wish there was some feedback on the discussion topics, just so I would know if I was getting the concepts.

Professor Addison is one of the most interesting professors in this college. She's very opinionated and quirky. Not to mention, she's not really into book-work; but you have to put effort on her midterms.

She was awesome! I have never had a more caring and concerned professor in any class. She worked wtih me after class and by email to help me learn the material, write better, and get the ideas. She is the best. I can't wait to take her other classes and wish she taught more!

first test today and she was right - the multiple choice was not hard but fully of picky details. Do the essay, she's not kidding! The assignment was VERY long and a lot of work but it totally prepares you for the exam. I like how she's flexible about due dates, giving us who work enough time to work according to our schedules.

Very witty yet very clear; don't want to miss a class, since lectures are informative, on topic & funny. She'll work w/you if you're honest w/her! FYI: hotness factor is really ****, male or female. She's a great teacher, her manner makes subject make sense & alive, as she's talking to us, not down to us. Plan on taking more classes w/her.

I found her to be interesting, funny, informative and on topic. She was always available for questions and never spoke down to the class.

This was a GREAT class. It was interesting and she told us the important things as well as the background stories that made it interesting. Her tests are hard but if you do her study guide ahead of time and do the essay, your ok. Not an easy A, but can be done.

She really knows her history stuff, with an emphasis European and Russian history. The reading is comprehensive, but not too hard to understand. I've emailed her questions, and have visited her during office hours - she is helpful to those who care about their grades!

I cannot believe some of the things coming out of the mouths of my fellow classmates! "oh, the reading is too much! She doesn't email back!" She's quirky, just look beyond it. Unlike some teachers who don't really care and just gladly hand you a grade, Professor A. will meet you half way if you do the same! Remember, this is college, people!

Dr. Addison, Is an extremely talented and intelligent woman. She is an expert in her field, and expects no less of herself than she does of her students. I would highly recomend taking a class with her, as you will leave her class better equipped to deal with upper divison courses. She is INCREDIBLE, and an asset to Pierce.

This class is ginormous and filled with idiots in the back of the room that she constantly has to tell to shut up. I really appreciate that she is low key, but passionate about protecting the interests of those of us there to learn. Test is essay, not hard if you do the reading and read the study guide.

Professor Addison is witty and sassy. I enjoyed her class and consider her one of my favorite professors at Pierce. 4 inclass essay exams and she drops the lowest score. She gives study guides and offers extra credit. take her!

She's spunky and knows her stuff. If you pay attention and do the reading, you'll get an A. She's not afraid to call you on your bs so be ready. Great teacher though, learned a lot.

This professor is definitely funny. She loves Star Wars and jokes around with references with it. Even uses it as one of the answers for the multiple choice test, to make things easier. As long as you read the book and notes, you should be fine. Multiple-choice is difficult, but if you do essay, it's so much easier and she gives you mercy points!

I LOVE this professor! She is generous to her students and is funny! She is an awesome teacher and makes history interesting and realistic! I wish she taught every history class at Pierce.

Prof. Addison is one of the most interesting teachers at Pierce. If you are planning to attend her class and take lots of notes - she is the best teacher for you. Also, her exams are not difficult; however, in order to get a good great you will have to read the textbook.

She was overall a pretty good professor. Her lectures tend to be pretty long and boring but its important to take notes. She gives assignments which are really easy to do and are basically study guides to her tests. The tests are not too hard as long as you took notes and did some reading.

Pay attention in class. Professor Addison will not just talk about the main topic. Makes sure you do the readings because she often will talk about or bring up other topics during lecture that deal with or are related with the main topic. This outside knowledge helps place historical topics into a larger world context often so come to class ready!

I had her for history 087 in fall 2022. Loved the course a lot reminded me of 7th grade world history.

I overcome the weaknesses of the final exam. Daily Discussion I have done to get done on time. Nice Teacher. I'm surprised that I got good on the final Exam. History 5 reminds me of 8th grade US History.
