I had GA Hist with her, and I received a 45 on a reading quiz--and I read! I have a 4.0 GPA, and if a good student struggles in her class it's bad! Also, she has a huge chip on her shoulder concerning college kids and their "habits" of making excuses and how Education majors ask too many questions.

Nice lady and clear in her lectures. She even makes it slightly interesting. It's really just a ton of material and lots of work. If you aren't good at history I wouldn't recommend her just because she's very difficult. Try someone easier. 2 tests and a final. All 50 Q multiple choice.

Professor Denmark was great! I had her for a comp survey, and she's an excellent lecturer. She kept me interested the entire time. If you do not attend class, you will not pass her class. She does provide extra credit, which she applies to each exam. Overall, you will pass if you attend class and take notes.

One of my favorite professors I've had so far! She is really passionate about history and wants you to do well in the class. Your final grade is exam-heavy, so make sure you attend lectures and come to class so you can do the TopHat, which has lots of exam questions on it. Take advantage of the extra credit and there's no reason you wont get an A.

Dr. Denmark made history class engaging for someone who can't stand history classes. We had a few grading discrepancies as a class, but she resovled any issues we had. Lots of extra credit opportunities too. Nice lady, nice teacher, just not a fan of history so not my favorite class.

Dr. Denmark's approach to teaching history always had me interested in the topics of discussion. She has a great sense of humor, and ties it into her lessons. She gives a TON of extra credit opportunities as well. It is important to take very good notes or else tests may be challenging. Overall, you're in good hands if you decide to take her.

Attendance is not required, but it is necessary for using Top Hat, which constitutes 13% of your overall grade. The class is highly engaging and informative, offering ample opportunities for learning. There are only three tests, each with 25 questions, but the instructor also provides extra credit that contributes to your exam grade.

I really enjoyed how Dr. Denmark did lectures. Take very detailed notes and you should be okay. However, your grade is dependent on 4 exams and attendance (TopHat) questions. If you are not a great test taker, I do not recommend her course. She is accessible outside of class and wants you to succeed, and will talk about your tests with you.

The class itself was easy enough: asynchronous online. There are a TON of lectures to watch, and she gives these "Historical Newspaper Assignments" with ridiculous grading criteria. You have to pick articles from historical newspapers that are "substantive" in HER eyes but doesn't really tell you what that means. Then gives pretentious feedback.

Dr. Denmark is truly amazing! Her passion for what she teaches radiates throughout her lectures and keeps you captivated. She helped me to fall back in love with history. As long as you listen to each lecture and take good notes you will do well on the quizzes. The newspaper assignments are also a lot of fun & tie in with the lectures

I LOVE this professor. I actually don't dread being in this class and her lectures are very interesting. She gives you lecture outlines and you use that to take notes on which I 100% recommend. also definitely sit in the front because that helps me a lot. I am doing better in this class than any other due to her being able to keep my attention.

She is one of the most hilarious people I have ever met in my life. If I saw her out in public I would not hesitate to talk to her. Need to share a beverage with her one day. Amazing lectures, so good that I would not even have to study. I can remember mostly what she says in class. Hope her soccer teams win.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Denmark's US History class! She's got a great personality, very caring and understanding of peoples circumstances as long as you are vocal about them. Her class is lecture heavily and you should look at the outlines for the week before going in to be caught up. However, assignments are light and it's a enjoyable class.
