Mrs. Light was very nice to everyone and actually wanted to share her knowledge. She would give quizzes from the book material so you were expected to read that. On tests, there would be material from the book, her lectures, and occasionally the videos we watched (which was sometimes a whole class). The hardest thing we did was write a paper!

My first class in 30 years. I started here on a recommendation. What I read worried me. She comes across tough, then she softens up and tones down. She is accessible and open. She is helpful and seems to strive ways to offer extra credit. Some quizzes were free, sometimes she gave alerts to exam answers. Ultimately, I enjoyed the class for an A.

Only source of information is the textbook; no insights, no power points, nothing. I can't help but get the sense that everything was structured to make you do poorly rather than educate. Trick questions, unrealistic/vague/confusing deadlines, test questions on material not covered, and no correspondence from the instructor. I regret this majorly.

I would not recommend taking this teacher. There are no lectures or power points just read the book and take the test. She gives quizzes every week that are 5 questions and 5 minutes long. You have to write a two page essay every time you have an exam. The final exam is comprehensive so study hard.

DO NOT TAKE HER! if and only if you are NOT good at writing 2 page essays on spot for a test. She would let you prewrite them but would NOT let you bring your prewritten essay to turn in with your test. On the days for quizzes and tests she wants you to be in class 10 mins early. Other than that she is a very GREAT teacher and loves what she does.

Not having done history in such a long time, I thought that HIST 1301 would be the end of me. She comes out like a seriously tough teacher and the first time she spoke I was about ready to drop her class, but I endured and little by little she made history interesting and pretty fun to learn. Today I love history and its all thanks to her.

Professor Light was so nice, caring and understanding. Her class was composed of 12 quizzes, 4 exams, and 2 papers. She tries to find ways to offer extra credit. As long as you pay attention to what she says and the quizzes, you should be good. At the end she drops the lowest exam grade and a couple low quiz grades.

Professor Light is awesome. The class consists of 12 quizzes (5 questions) and 3 unit exams (20 questions) and the final which is 50 questions, all are very easy the exams are just like the quizzes. There are only 2 short answer essays which are very easy. BE SURE TO READ THE DIRECTIONS. This class is very easy, there's no way anyone should fail.

I had her for 1301 and 1302 and was amazed by how much she cared for what she was teaching and her students. Hands down the best professor I have ever had. The class itself isn't hard although there are group projects so introverts beware. All around a really good way to learn a little about history with a passionate and knowledgeable teacher!

All in all, I loved her class, and I now have a greater appreciation for History!

Online class so didn't interact with the professor. Easy to follow class. Each chapter has a short 5 question quiz after, that is super easy if you read and/or use your online resources. Not proctored. Interesting read, I learned a lot about American History in a short amount of time. The test questions are the same as the quiz questions.

Professor Light was very quick to respond with any questions I had. She also sent out reminders about assignments close to due dates. She was very polite and sweet when I spoke with her. For her course, there is a lot of reading and studying, but only one quiz with 5 questions every week or so. WORTH IT!!

For the most part she's chill and understands as a student. Although her class is just a tad out-dated and needs to be more friendly to the common student. Some of us don't have to read the textbook all the time and thats probably what you need to do to even make an A. for the most part her class is easy, but just some things in her class, too much

Before, I was not a fan of history. I struggled with the amount of information and remembering dates and names. I also didn't get why it was important. I took both history classes with miss Light, and she changed my entire outlook! Instead of focusing on numbers\names, she teaches us the importance and to appreciate people and their efforts!

Amazing instructor! I could tell she truly cared about her students and their success. She made comprehensive review videos for all quizzes and exams. Pretty much all test material was in the videos. There was a textbook but if I watched the videos I didn't usually need it. She was quick to respond to emails and gave great answers and feedback.

Most caring teacher I've had in a while. She is a ray of sunshine, and I recommend her if you want an easy class. However, I believe she suffers from some pain, and she was out for a lot of time, and we lost a lot of lecture time, but I don't blame her. Despite this, her grading criteria is clear and she drops tests and is available to help always!

Super easy to pass as she quite literally sets up the system for her students to pass with no problem. She typically assigns mini quizzes that are timed for each lesson and a few unit tests that are both NOT proctored! Every thing is super doable so you can easily pass with an A if you complete the work. I highly recommend this professor!

Dr. Light is an amazing professor. Not only does she explain the material in detail, she actually cares about her students and wants them to succeed in and out of her classroom. Prepare to read on your own. She has a schedule that she keeps you up to date on as far as quizzes and assignments. 10/10 would take her class again.
