Will lecture from an over-head projector, this makes the lecture both comfusing and boring.

GREAT TEACHER - I TOOK THE FAUST CLASS - WOW! REALLY LOVED IT. SHE IS SO KNOWLEDGABLE. I REALLY ENJOYED HER CLASS. GOT AN A! THIS WAS IN 2001 - SHE IS VERY A MEMORABLE TEACHER & WAS ONE OF THE BEST AT CSUDH. THE CLASS WORK WAS ADEQUATE - WHAT DO YOU EXPECT; YOU'RE IN COLLEGE NOT H.S.

She is a good teacher, but gives out toooo much work. If you good at history and read a lot of book then you will be OK.. To me, "WHAT THE HECK IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?"

Really hard but interesting. Made me feel like I was in a grad. class. Although it was really hard I enjoy listening to woman talk with her English accent and all those weird facts. LOVED IT.

This prof. gets a bad rap from "students" who probably shouldn't be in college if they find it difficult to a)attend class regularly b)read the assigned material c)take good notes and d)write at a college level. Demanding, yes. Impossible, no. Rewarding, very! College is NOT an extension of high school.

This teacher is an absolute bore. She sounds like the characters in the books that she teaches regarding the devil. Her test were extremely hard and she was not very helpful in test preparations. She has tons of reading which would not be so bad if it were not 3 big books. If you take her calss do so when you do not have a full schedule.

This class is a cake walk as olong as you do what college students are supposed to do- read, show up to class, pay attention and study. Professors like this gives college its meaning. She is just doing her part in preparing students for the future.

She is very tough but when one leaves her class, they are better for having had the experience. She was both a professor of mine and my MA advisor. She was, without a doubt, someone I counted on, and trusted throughout the entire process.

She knows her material very well (Elizabethan era, Renaissance). She is a clear lecturer & uses audio/video clips which makes class more interesting. If class is 1x weekly, prepare for a long haul. You must be able to take good notes and read all assigned material if you want a high grade.

Dr. Fitzsimmons was an excellent instructor. I loved her class. She was really hard but you learned alot from her. There is a lot of writing, studying and reading but that is the norm for a college level course...

I took her jokes and pleasure class and it was alright. we wacthed some movies and had a lot of reading assignments. I read some but not all. she will tell you the important parts to read. so just attend class and study the terms and you'll be fine

This is a really interesting professor. I learned a lot from her class. She is funny too. I would take her again. Tough though.

She is very passionate about what she teaches, and open to questions. Answers emails fast and is encouraging. Her lectures are detailed and informative.

COOL professor! I really got into this course specially the art, music is good as well. she expects a lot from students and is kinda inspirational, not like some of these professors who don't respond. good communication skills. makes it all easy to understand. what I rember most is the art .

I took her death and dying and it was a meaningful class. There was a lot of different mediums used in the class. I got a lot out of it.

Took an online course. Lots of reading towards the end of the semester plus a paper. She grades quickly and answers emails quickly. Overall enjoyed the class and got an A. My advice is to read the books in advance so that you don't have to do so much at the end of the semester.

powerpoints are helpful. instructor is helepful. good feedback. organized, interactive.

Awesome. Participation matters. hot topics.

I was nervous to take her online class because of the reviews but it is the opposite from the reviews here. Yes, there is a lot of reading (which is expected for all college courses) but you just need to manage your time. She responds to e-mail fast, grades them right away and gives you feedback. Also the syllabus is very clear.

This instructor is great! She's always sending you reminders when stuff is due and motivational advice. Lots of feedback. Assignments are clear and the powerpoints really helped me learn the stuff. The discussions are interesting and really got me thinking.

I want to let you know about this teacher's dedication. She is caring and supportive. When you need help she is there for you. She goes out of her way to help students. I learned so much in this course. There is reading to do, but it helps your education.

I took the Environment and Literature. It was a delightful class. I recommend it. The teacher is very interactive and helpful.

I liked this course and the instructor. She is enthusiastic and helpful. The material gets a bit depressing, death, death, you know how it is. The discussion board is good.

This has been the best online class I have taken in five years. She tells you exactly what is due and when it is due, after that its up to you to make time to do it. Reasonable amount of work and reading, nice amounts of videos (rather than long readings). Excellent communication, overall one of the best instructors I have had.

Great professor! She made an online class feel like a real class sometimes with the discussion board and constant communication. Overall good class, easy if you do the work on time and read the material she gives you.

One of the most enjoyable online courses I have taken. A lot of reading and researching. Midterm and Final are pretty heavy on the subjects covered in discussion boards previous weeks. One long comparison research paper which was fun. Grading is fair and she makes every effort to help you fix mistakes to get a better grade. Great professor.

This professor made me see what I was missing with other professors. She is one in a million. SO quick on the emails, so ready. I liked the class I cannot believe how interactive this professor is. some thick novels.

I took the witch course and it was like wow! this instructor has a good sense of humor

Hey you guys. People say some crazy things in this thread. This is my 2nd course with this teacher. Took 200 & got hooked. My advisor recommended Death & dying. She's enthusiastic & inspirational. A good driver. Feedback yeah every session. Grading is consistent & fair. Some of the folk who spout off here sound like high school kids. Get real. LOL

This professor is energetic and takes the time to give each student feedback. I liked how she pairs you in groups to help you understand different viewpoints. She is a good communicator. She helps you with your writing. This course should be required of all students.

Im a business major, humanities is just my GE. But I enjoy it, I like the different stories and art. I took 200 online and liked it. The professor knows a whole lot and seems like a sweet kind of person. Shes real good in the service area. I had no problem with the tests, nearly made an A. Work on the study questions and you will be fine.

This professor is fun to work with . I took the Great Cities. She interects a whole lot. You get to work in groups. It is a blessing to find a teacher like her. She is really in touch wtih students. Great course.

200 really turned me on to cultural history. I changed my major to art because of this course. I plan to be a teacher and I really enjoyed the way this professor teaches the course.

I have to tell you straight from the heart that this teachers death course is good for you, people. Ill never forget it. I cried and I cried and I swore to use all this that i learned to help people, so help me god. The material is real interesting i couldnt get enough ot it. Style is cool, she lets you retake some stuff.

I've taken a bunch of online courses. I would put this one right up there.

This professor is real approachable and fun. She gives lots of encouragement and answers questions real quick. readings are intersting. I love how she gives u choices. I am learning a lot.

If you do not like writing do NOT take this class. However, if you are up to the challenge this course if for you. She isn't that tough of a grader but she assigns at least 250 word discussion per week. She also assigned a term paper but that was not that difficult either. She allows one retake for each quiz.

Great course. I used to think these courses were a waste of my time. this one got me into new stuff , , I got a lot out of it

I dont know why professor Fitzsimmons has negative reviews. She taught the best online class I've ever taken. She was very straightforward of her expectations and accepted late work. She was also very compassionate. Yes, there is a lot of homework but it was very interesting and easy. Tests were easy if you did the homework and one term paper.

Had to choose a class for my BSN program and this class was health humanities so it only felt appropriate! Class was online and only half of a summer semester so it was faster paced but totally doable! Quizzes and discussion questions were simple if you read the material and the material is interesting! Term paper and final werent too bad!

This is one of the nicest professors I've ever taken at this school. She responded to my emails within hours and would send class announcements of reminders with silly or motivational pictures attached. BUT, there was so much reading every week for the discussion boards and exams and a stressful 8 page term paper.

She is awesome and caring, you can reach out to her for anything. The readings were very interesting, discussion boards and quizzes based on the readings were very easy. Tests were based on the readings and discussions. Such a sweet professor. Definitely take her for HUM 310. Research paper wasn't bad either, do your research ahead of time.

Really good professor! helps you when you message her! The lectures were powerpoints but very detailed. Class was interesting and I actually learned about the different art periods

vampires is fantastic. i used to love this stuff as kid. couln't believe they have a course on it. its like vampires are agendas. its all about issues. relly opened my eyes. feedback is ueseful. i really see this stuff with more critical eye now.

I took this class Health humanities to learn something new. Lotta things i never knew. like getting high hits your gene, gives your kid autism. kinda freaked me out. another was music fixes your brain. I did my paper on bipolar. that was cool.

HUM 303- This class is busy lol her syllabus, notes, and assignment instructions are all busy and can be difficult to follow if you don't pay attn. Responds to emails promptly. Very fun and easy class! Her group project was a headache, but it was not bad at all. Stay on top of her weekly assignments and you are guaranteed to get an A.

Professor Fitzsimmons has great and entertaining lectures, there will be a lot of writing and reading, but the outcome is tremendously entertaining.

I took Vampires. Now I'm taking Health humnities. She helps your GPA. U can retake stuff u messed up on

She is a great professor with a clear class outline and makes her expectations known on the syllabus. There is only one midterm and a final but she prepares you for them with her weekly open book quizzes. The hardest assignment was her minimum 7 page term paper, but she replies quickly in case you need any advice/clarification. Strongly recommend!

When you take this professor you get a well organized experience and efficient person in charge. She keeps you on track, not the forget you're there ripoff style. I got a lot out of it. There are no hassle guides step by step the way I like it. I'm a management major and enjoyed the group project. She helped me find research.

Took this as a Winter course, it was fast paced and had things due every 2-3 days! There are discussions, SPA's (which are like mini quizzes which you can retake once before midterm), a final paper, midterm & final exam. Discussions are pretty straight forward; your post & reply. She is very quick at answeriing emails and so helpful!! I recommmend

Animals is an interesting course. She is inspiring.

Lectures are slideshows, you HAVE to buy the textbook (you can't find it anywhere else)to be able to understand her lectures and assignments. Weekly DB posts and quiz, 2 Exams: midterm and final, based on the weekly quizzes and lecture, which are easy and a 5 page term paper which is a bit hard to understand on what you're supposed to write about.

I had this professor for two of my courses. My favorite was Health humanities. I like the way she is so organized. You do a narrative therapy project. Two exams and quizzes.

Class is easy if you do all the assignments and understand what she requires for the essay. Quizzes are based on her module readings. Overall it was a fun online class that made me more aware of different animals.

The professor has a specific system, but if you engage with it, the class works well. Attending lectures and using resources like unstuckstudy can help you succeed. Overall, a challenging but manageable course.

Be aware that you will have to do a lot of reading! There are SPA's (like quizzes), DB posts and replies due every couple of days. You HAVE to read the material to answer the questions. There is a midterm, a final and a five page Narrative Therapy project. The Professor is very responsive, and passionate about the subject. I would take her again.

This professor inspires everybody. You can feel her passion every week. There is a textbook but she explains is clearly and is fair.
