Not easy, but definately not hard. She jokes a lot and will let the class discuss history making it easier to remember. She always goes over the study guide and the extra credit goes a long way to help you get that A.

She is amazing! talks fast but does recap at the beginning of each class. Has a thorough study guide and follows it closely. I had a good amount of absences,but I kept up with reading and all assignments and made almost a 100 with all the extra credit points. A lot of information but if you keep up with reading, you should be fine.

Overall, she was a good teacher just didn't really clearly communicate with the class I feel like. I got about 2 emails over the semester. I did take take her for a summer course so it was very intense but if you read the chapters, you'll do fine. I wouldn't reccomend if you dont have a lot of time to read/study.

My only critique is the test she gave, she would only allow a 60-minute time limit with 60 questions per test, however, one or more questions would have a 7-10 part matching section on historical figures and events. It stressed me out because it would leave less than 1 minute to answer per question. Overall her class was ok to take.

I absolutely loved having Professor Welch for history. I had taken her for US History 1 and loved her so much I took her again for History 2. She offers lots of extra credit quizzes and provides helpful study guides and activity sheets for tests. She genuinely cares about her students success and is very fair with her grading. 10/10

This professor is very knowledgeable, professional, and hilarious. A true gem! She is organized and her structure is easy to follow. If you take advantage of taking notes and turn in your assignments on time you will do well. She also gives you opportunities for extra credit. Tests are timed and long so make sure you read and take notes.

Teacher is a self important blow hard who isnt teaching what she would rather be, and takes it out on her students. Creates a scam work around with her grading to fail specific students. If you miss even one optional assignment, she will remove half your grades and give you zeros instead. Save your GPA and RUN.

Lots of homework

Had an awesome experience with the material and assignments. Time is a little short on the quizzes and tests, but her study guides and maps make studying easy and fun. Good amount of extra credit too. Really wish I had been able to take the class in person. Took History 1302 with her as well, also a great experience.

This professor helped me to understand the content in HIST 1302. Having made a C in 1301 with a different professor, I made a high A this semester. She provides study guides not to mention everything on the study guide was on the quizzes and exams. I recommend going to lectures because she doesn't post them on Canvas. She really wants you to pass!

She seems like a good professor but the tests given were not enough time for the amount of questions. Never got to finish the tests because of too little time. If you have time to read all chapters and study you will be good but if you don't I recommend not taking her class. Make sure to study your maps also.

Ms. Welch's method of teaching is very structured. She lays out exactly what is expected of you on her syllabus. Her lectures and reading are required. Also, she offers extra credit for your taking. I wish every professor would implement this type of teaching structure to their method of teaching.

She made learning history fun. She gives you study guides, map guides, and fill in the blank answers that are super helpful on tests. Her lectures are basically going over the study guide and as long as you pay attention you will ace this class. Quizzes and tests are short on time but nothing too bad. Offers a lot of extra credit and clear rubric.

Took her for an 8week course. She gives a study guide for each exam section and teaches right from it. Quizzes are extra credit but you lose all extra credit points if you dont turn in all assignments. Theres 3 short(2pages) writing assignments. All assignments are done on canvas and are open for 2 days. Easy if you go to class, she reviews a lot.

Wouldn't recommend taking her class in the summer. She provides worksheets to study, no lectures, which I don't really mind. However. I found it difficult with the short amount of time. Also don't like how the tests are timed, made me feel rushed and couldn't read the questions thoroughly. Felt like I never actually completed a test.

I absolutely LOVED this professor. She gave VERY clear study material. Everything that was on the quizzes and tests were on the study guides minus a few things that could be found in the reading. And she gives so much extra credit there is 0 reason to fail this class. I really appreciated her and wish I could have her again

Prof Welch was nice and funny, but didn't seem very dedicated. She seemed resistant to professional growth and has clearly been repeating the same lectures for years (some parts of which are inaccurate). Overall the class was a bunch of memorization of detail with no big picture. She was also slow too respond to emails and constantly late to class!
