She's really clear about what she wants, and communicates the material effectively and gives you a study guide before each test that tells you exactly what to study. Its a GE class so if you don't like history you just have to suck it up, but she makes it painless. Not bad on the eyes either.

TAKE!!! The course is graded on a weekly quiz (which is unlimited attempts for a 100%), weekly summary questions about the chapters we read that week (3 questions each week/ 500 words total), and the final term paper which is 1500 words and is based on her book. Easiest class I've taken. Don't buy textbook. Only need her book for the final paper.

Super easy course. All of your assignments for the semester are already uploaded so you could potentially get ahead. Weekly discussion post and mini- quiz (super easy). Only slightly difficult part about this course is the term paper at the end, but it's not bad at all.

The class consisted of short written summaries from the textbook and lectures. It was a pretty simple class to adapt to and a nice professor who graded fairly. Quizzes can be taken early as many attempts as possible with no time limit to receive 100% of the points. One paper is due for the final with a good amount of time given to complete.

Dr. Riggin is a great teacher who grades very easily. There are two books you'll need, one you'll need to buy and use for the course but the second can be found online. There are weekly discussions that aren't too hard and the lectures can be a hit or miss. Overall, she's a nice person and caring, and it's great if you need to take History.

Good teacher, gives good feedback and grades quickly. One discussion and one quiz a week. Quizzes you can retake as many times to get 100%. Would recommend taking her.

Her class is very easy to do, each week was a discussion and quiz, some answers for the quiz can be on quizlet. There's a book you could buy but I didn't and still passed since she does have power points that are notes from the chapter of the book. I totally recommend this teacher, she gives great feedback and her grading is pretty clear.

Easiest online course I've ever taken. Only one weekly discussion post and one weekly quiz that has unlimited attempts. It does require a lot of reading and watching videos but you can literally just summarize the key points and that'll be enough. No essays or tests just one final. Easy A just don't procrastinate and do your assignments.

SUCH AN AMAZINGGG professor!!! Genuinely enjoyed her class very much! totally recommend taking her for history. Great lectures and has a clear grading criteria, and the class was very manageable. Only the final exam and its short-answer questions. I would take it again and again. Thank you Dr.Riggins for an amazing class :)

If you love history; this is the class for you. All of her lectures were so indepth and interesting. Take good notes, her final is short essay question based on the whole semester and its worth a ton of your grade. Favorite class of the semester. But, I'd imagine if you aren't a history buff, this class would get boring quick.

Online class, pretty easy for a g.e and interesting. 1 quiz and discussion post a week and the final is an essay on her book. You don't need to read the book just skim. Easiest class ever.
