Sweetest & most passionate teacher I've had in a while. She doesn't grade on anything she hasn't taught so her quizzes are easy if you keep up with her grammar lessons. Very important to take notes while reading (jot down page numbers) participation matters (includes not using your phone in class) drops lowest grade on essays. Overall great class!

Lots of discussion assignments must write a lot only for 5 points. 3 papers but not hard grader at all, I thought I did bad on all of them and ended up doing good. Drops 1 discussion grade and paper (lowest grade). Overall, great at giving feedback and very helpful.

She's great - do the discussion posts, observation reports (essays), and you'll be fine. She drops lowest discussion post and observation report scores.

Terrific teacher! Lots of essays and reading, but she's very clear about what she expects from you and is extremely fair. Hilarious and, honestly, kind of a babe. I would most definitely take her again.

I took her online huma1 class during the summer. Everything was outlined clearly and on time. 3 essays (she drops the lowest grade so I didn't have to do the 3rd one), discussion posts each chapter (500 words, not hard), & answer some questions that are in the modules by emailing her. Open book midterm & final, she provides outlines. Nice & easy A!

I absolutely love Professor Welsh. She is hilarious and engaging, goes to great lengths to teach you really interesting things that aren't in the book. TONS of reading, but I found it to be really interesting. Tests are easy (open book + open note), easy grader on essays (there are three), and makes participation accessible for shy people like me!

let's be honest she's a helpful prof, good advice but she grades harsh, will give you 5 essays back to back. You won't have a life in her class. Very strict will drop students every day for being tardy, long boring lectures. If you really want to pass I don't recommend taking her regardless if it fits your schedule. Great prof just too many cons

15 discussions, 15 burning questions, 3 papers (drops the lowest score), and 1 extra credit assignment. Prof. Welsh has TOO much going on. Her modules can range between 15 - 30 pages, and then she wants you to read the textbook. For non-majors, it is a rough course to stay afloat in. Her course isn't captivating, it's quite boring a too laborsome.

Lots of homework

She is a really good professor if you are into humanities. The discussions and exams are extremely easy it is just as long as you know the material. The hardest thing in the class are the papers because she is very specific in what she is looking for. A paper I felt I deserved an A I ended up getting a C- just because the criteria is unclear.

Doesn't teach online, NO class, self-read. Textbook unnecessary since she puts SO MANY SLIDES in modules, but is useful for reports & actual interest in humanities (AKA history with an emphasis on art). One chapter a week, each needs a short response (couple sentences) and a long response (500-word discussion). 3 research reports (3.5-5 pages).

There are discussions every week based on a chapter. Her questions and topics are interesting. She drops the lowest grade on an essay (there are 3). Very easy class, just a lot of reading.

You have to do a 500 word module every 3 days if you take winter semester so it was overwhelming. There's also hidden burning questions so you HAVE to read the modules. There's also 3 observation reports. Her class was easy but it's so much reading my head was gonna explode but the hw was easyish
