She has made it so miseralbe for me. 25-30 pages to read and you have to take your own notes and you dont even know what to take notes on untill the first test and then its too late because you already failed it. She is way hard and I don't recommend her unless you are a history geek.

Essays are a big, big part of this class. Notes have to be over the enitre chapter (2 a week) and highlighted to bring out people, places, and events. Not to mention you have to keep a source journal of one article every week with explanations/essays. This all compiles into a professional folder and has a reflection written in the back! Ugh!

Wouldn't take again

She's not terrible. She is always available to answer questions and give feedback. But, you are always stuck teaching the material to yourself. You just read the materials she gives you and writes an essay on it. definitely not the easiest grader either.

This professor is amazing, she is really compassionate and cares mostly about communication. No late papers are accepted but she gives a full week with the material before that. Such a straight forward class, you know up front what is expected of you, nothing hidden. I will absolutely take her again if possible, she made history fun!

Dr. Dull was a great teacher overall. She tried to find out what the students were interested in and cater the assignments to that. The class was very reading & homework heavy but you had a full week for each assignment so it was doable. If you're looking for an easy class, try something else, but if you love history, I recommend her & this class.

I greatly enjoyed the teaching style of the History 112 Later Western Civilization online class. You are graded based on a paper / answering questions each week. There are no tests, quizzes, or exams in this course. Again, this class was online, so it may be different for in person.

Dr. Dull was my favorite professor at Delta. She ran her class very smoothly. There were no tests or exams, just weekend assignments and a final assignment. She runs the class based off of what everyone wants to learn. I have never been a fan of history prior to this class, but I will for sure take HIS112 now with her so I can have her again!

I, personally, had a great time with this class. The class was very reading and writing intensive, but there were no exams/quizzes. Lessons are taught from a mix of videos, documents, and other sources from the Internet. We were given 1 assignment weekly, each taking a few hours to complete. Critical thinking is a major part of this course.

Her class was certainly very interesting. Discussions were also good, and the small class size I had made it easier to get personal attention if you had questions or needed help, HOWEVER, Dr. Dull is a very strict professor. She cares a lot about what she teaches. If you are not prepared to cultivate perfection on your work, look elsewhere.

This class was not my favorite there are long YouTube videos that are her lectures that are a little hard to listen to but can be done. I enjoyed the crash course videos. We had discussion posts and lots of projects there weren't any test she gave examples and grading rubrics for our large projects. She had a FREE online textbook.

Super easy + straightforward class. Consistently show up to class + take your notes and you'll have an A. No exams or memorization to worry about. Lectures are open discussion + participation is encourage, not required. Approaches history from a variety of different perspectives; I learned a lot I'd never heard before. Great experience, recommend!

Professor Dull was one of the worst professors I have ever had in college. She is very difficult on grading and picking apart students papers. She takes away points even if you answer the questions correctly. A class I would not recommend to first year students. I was very disappointed in the Professor and the way the class was set up.

Prof. Dull truly has a passion for what she teaches. Her lectures are thorough, and she gives great feedback on assignments. Textbook reading is quite heavy, but she provides additional sources as well. She is very understanding and truly cares about her students! I would definitely recommend courses with her!

LOVE. Dr. Dull was so interactive with her students. She would send out weekly videos explaining the tasks we'll be completing that week. The next week, she would send out feedback and provide extra credit quizzes. Super interactive material and assignments that apply knowledge. No quizzes or tests. Super sweet teacher who cares about her students!

While not the most engaging lectures, this class can still be manageable with the free online textbook and Crash Course videos. Assignments are straightforward, but the professor's expectations can be unclear at times. Unstuckstudy was a useful study tool for me alongside the provided resources.

The class was interesting, but also kinda boring at times. There was a lot of reading at the beginning of the semester, and then it gradually went to lectures. Overall, it's easy to pass, just make sure you pay attention to her requirements for the notebook, and you'll do fine.

A very good teacher, gives you the info clearly, asks questions in the class, and the class is almost entirely homework based. Most of your grade is made up of a bi-weekly notebook check, so as long as you stay on top of that you are given a very easy A.

Dr. Dull is a good professor once you get to know her. Expectations were unclear at first but became clearer. Assignments are reading-heavy but manageable. She's passionate about your writing, enforces a 3-mistake limit per paper (with corrections allowed), and likes in-depth discussion posts but doesn't require replies to other students.
