Kathy Jones is good stuff. You HAVE to take notes and you have to study them. I took a night class, so it easily became boring hearing history for so long, even she got bored.

Easy class! Gives pop quizzes on random days and gives you the answers basically, the pop quizzes are not manditory but they do help give you extra points!! Quizzes online every week but are super easy. Only two tests out the semester ( midterm & final ) & one essay paper. Really caring & helpful professor.

She is honestly one of the best pofessors I have ever had. She doesn't make the course to hard but you still learn a lot. She gives pop quiz but if you show up to class you will pass them. She doesn't give a lot of homework either wish I could take this teacher for all my classes.

she's a pretty ok teacher. Her exams are really an easy A if you study and come to class. she gives two extra credit opportunities. Only complaints would be her lectures are very boring and she takes a ridiculously long time to put grades in. however her class is not difficult to pass at all.

Her class is one of the most irritating classes because she talks about everything and nothing and is very slow in movement and speaking. She is very loopy. She has taken almost two months to grade our essay and group discussions. If you actually study, the tests are easy. There are only two: midterm and final. As well as 9 online quizzes.

Great professor! The class is 100% lecture and they are not posted online. Only two exams, two essays, nine online document quizzes (workbook needed), and about six pop quizzes (super easy). Really recommend!

Mrs. Jones was a super easy teacher. She gave online quizzes every week and only gave 2 tests throughout the semester. She did 2 online discussions and 2 essays. The only other grades were pop quizzes given if attendance was low that day. She gives the answers for the pop quizzes though. She also offers extra credit. Overall, she is a great teacher

Professor Jones is a very easy professor and the class is not difficult. She has tons of assignments., online quizzes, in class quizzes, discussion forums, essays, and exams. She is so hard to get in contact with. She takes FOREVER to grade things and She ended up dropping assignments we completed. We still have 11 not graded 1 day before finals.

Prof. Jones is one of the best history teachers I ever had. Her class mainly consists of lectures, as well as essays, document quizzes, discussions, and pop quizzes. However, she only gave us one pop quiz this semester. Her lectures are good ones because she is very clear and easy to understand. Highly recommended!

Genuinely a really good professor and provides all tools to make an A in the class. I ended with a C but it was due to me not putting in the effort. If you study, utilize the tools she gives, and do extra credit, you will be good.

Ms. Kathy is an amazing professor! She is very caring and understanding if personal issues arise as long as you reach out to her. She allowed me extra time to complete my first test when my daughter was hospitalized. Only thing I will say is that her test's study material includes between 200-300+ terms for each test. Only 3 main tests though.

She was very nice and gave quality information in her lectures, however, test questions were complex and derived from the multitude of weekly readings rather than the lecture itself. I must emphasize that memorization was how to pass the class rather than actually learning the information.

I took her online class and had some things come up that caused my grade to decline, very helpful in telling me what I needed to do to bring it up and offered extra credit. gave an easy assignment every week or so. tests can be challenging, but as long as you read the docs and study her lecture notes you will pass (i got A's and B's on all tests)

The assignments are few, but when you do have them for the week they can take time, she also grades hard and does not believe in perfect scores. For the exams, make sure you study, study, study. They have 200+ terms per exam and are a major part of your grade. make quilts or notecards for the terms because you're going to need them.

Avoid if possible. Only 3 tests to cover massive chapters. Exams (only 50 questions) require studying 200+ undefined terms (like names with no context). Journal entries docked for missing info not mentioned in instructions. Unclear expectations & a ton of work for very little payoff.

This lady just talks the whole class and expects you to go home and read a lot of documents, and then she wants you to define 100+ terms after every class, possibly the worst history professor I have ever had

Prof. Jones' HIS202 class is pretty straightforward. Lectures can be dry, but the assignments and exams are manageable if you stay on top of the material. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for preparing for the 200+ term exams.

Professor Jones is great on making sure you have the lectures and lecture notes that you need but tests are difficult for how much they are worth because they cover SO MUCH at a time. Online test ARE PROCTORED. Many people I know who have taken her did not do well in the class. Be prepared to spend some time studying.

She's okay. 3 major exams,(lots of terms!) 5 open notes quizzes, 1 essay at the end of the semester, and 2 discussion boards (that she takes forever to grade btw). Normally 1-2 weeks between each assignment and she never assigned more than 2 at a time. Honestly all you need is the notes and sometimes the textbook, and you'll do just fine.

I don't agree with most of these reviews. From taking her class I think she is an exceptional instructor, she is extremely understanding. Yes, she does make a study guide with 150-200 terms. However, the tests are only 50 questions. Just make sure you study and you will do just fine.
