Best English teacher ever!!!!! Highly recommend her, you will come out of her class in a daze and find yourself going home to look up the things she talked about.
TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER! she knows her stuff-- not your typical english class.
Professor H is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend her class--both for content and for her abilities as a teacher! Her main focus is making sure that her students know the information, which is the point, right? She knows the material, too, which is helpful:)
Her lectures are always entertaining and she knows the material. If you read the material she asks you to and attend lectures you will pass. She is extremely nice.
She is a wonderful teacher. I wish all of my teachers were as good, helpful, and as understanding as her. I DEFINATLEY recommend her!!
She's very helpful and knowledgeable. What's great is that she accepts everyone's opinions, which makes for a fair and interesting class.
Well educated, knows the subject matter, and is very passionate
Margaret Hosty is a great teacher and is willing to bend over backwards to help her students do their best. Professor H. as she likes to be called is full of useful information and uploads all of the slides that are used during class. A GREAT TEACHER!
It was a very engaging and interesting class and was taught at a very fast rate. This class will change the way you view the world around you. I recommend this class to everyone. I am hoping to have the privilege of taking another class with Hosty.
She is a very sweet funny teacher . I love the way she teaches . She's very open and honest . I highly recommend taking her class . Its fun and never boring ! She deserves a RAISE !
Professor is useful and interesting.
you wanna learn somethin. take this teacher. the WORST thing that will happen to you in this class is that you WILL learn something.
I would recommend this instructor to all. She is second to none and she just keep it REAL. i have really enjoyed her. THANKS MARGARET.....
My mother and I love this instructor, even though my mother is older and I am a young person, Mrs. Hosty can relate on any level... She keep it real.
I really have liked the way in which she teaches. She is always available if help is needed and grades fair.
Everyoone should take this at least once in a lifetime.
Margaret's knowledge is remarkable and astonishing! She is awesome, fun, interesting and always helpful. Keep up the good work!
Pro. Hosty is a wonderful teacher. Who truly has a vested intrest in her students success & education. She not only offers the required lesson plan but, information that also allows her students to make informed decisions about the world we live in. I not only enjoyed taking Humanities with Pro. Hosty, I was also one of her Eng. Comp II students.
She teacher proves that there are still teachers out there the actually care about her students. The smartest person i've ever met. She is extremely helpful and treats you like an adult. I too took her comp 2 class. She conveys the material so that you will walk away with a well rounded education. Thank you for everything you are the best!
Hosty is an AMAZING professor, she may be a bit much at times, but she has LOTS of interesting things to say! Mid-term was VERY hard, but there is a studyguide just make sure to actually STUDY! however the class is amazing, and so is she. VERY INTELLEGENT person, one i would trust in any info she gives me.
Prof Hosty is WAYYY EXCELLENT! It has been a privilage to have her as my guide through humanities
This Professor gave me a voice to express my opinions, and opened a whole new way to look at world. I bettered my critical thinking skills, found new resources for information, and everything I learned, I am applying in my everyday life. She is encouraging, makes learning interesting, and she is an inspiration. I can highly recommend her classes.
Excellent! Instructor will open your mind to a new way of interpreting the world. Class is very informative, entertaining, jaw dropping,humorous and at times unbelievable. Light cousework load...heavy studying on tests but prof. provides a study guide that is extremely helpful. Very upfront and honest professor. Take THIS class!
Professor Hosty is an excellent professor. She is very knowledgable and will keep you interested the entire time. Everything she teaches can be used in everyday life. This course has helped me find the part of me I let lay dormant. She is excellent. This class is a must.
Mrs.Hosty teaches in a way you understand. Unlike many other class you write notes in, her class you just watch and listen. This method helps me understand immensly. You dont need to ask any questions, they are all answered in lectures. This definantly a class to take for fun and knowledge
i have taken this teacher for 3 classes and have learned a LOT! you dont realize what you take from this class untill you are in a real life situation later and u can spit out what you learned without thinking about it. take this class, take it, take it!!!!!
Took her during the summer. She gives reviews for all test so you know exactly what to study. They are long but as long as you study what she gives you, you have no reason not to make an A. Attendance is not required. No textbook required. No weekly assignments. One easy reasearch project. Cool and fun personality. Knows her stuff.
Mrs Hosty is very energetic, keeps class lively, and knows what she's talking about. She and had differences of opinion, but were always able to have civil discussion. No textbook/notes required (just bring a pen). Attendance is suggested, not required. 3 tests are given (study guides provided), 1 research paper (easy), easy A. I recommend it!
An amazing instructor. She involves you in the material, and is a blast. She gives you a reason to want to like what you're learning.
Great professor. I would take her again. If you need the class and are looking for someone to teach on a level you can understand TAKE HER!!She is very funny.
Proffessor H Demonstrated a mastery of subject complimented with a plethora of accurate infomation fit for class. She cunducted her class with welcomed passion and excitment. Her teaching style inspires a thirst for knowledge in the humanities. It is a welcomed breath of fresh air in a stagnet acedimic enviorment. "aut disce aut discede
"Fun" and "easy" mischaracterizes this instructor--the words engaging, humorous, efficent, and organized work better; students only FEEL the course is fun/easy because the teacher makes it such a positive(and eye-opening) experience. You learn useful material,classs is never dull, but there is a lot of stuff to know and then be able to use in life.
MRS H IS THE BEST AROUND. SHE'S VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE DOES NOT JUST SIT BEHIND A DESK READING FROM A BOOK (FYI:BY THE WAY THAT WASN'T REQUIRED) & PUTTING UP POWER POINTS. A VERY ACTIVE, ENERGETIC TEACHER AND DEFINITELY MAKES YOUR MONEY WORTH THE WHILE.IF NEEDING THIS CLASS OR IN THE MARKET FROM OTHER CLASSES IF SHE'S TEACHING IT'S A WINNER TAKE IT!
Decent teacher, took her during the summer, fast paced & lots of material to learn. She doesn't use a book at all and says "Don't waste your money on it". She gives you a review so you know exactly what to study. Tests are all memorization, which is BORING to me. We watched a million Youtube videos. I barely went to class and still made an A.
I really enjoyed this class and if you study you will get an A.
Ms. Hosty is a different kind of instructor knowledgeable in many areas and makes the class very interesting. The first week is hard but after that its easy. Two thumbs up Ms. Hosty!!!!
Excellent teacher who knows her stuff. Great powerpoints. Attendance not required - she puts everything you need to know for the test on Campus Cruiser. Textbook also not required or recommended. Class is spent mostly watching YouTube videos and her sharing her opinions on different political items, so its a waste of time to go.
She is a great teacher, just a tad on the political side.
Great teacher that offers study guides and is very opinionated. She talks extremely fast but the course is very easy. Just read and study the study guide and you will definetely make an A.
Great teacher enjoyed the instructor and the information that was taught
This class is an easy A all you have to do is study the review that she provides for you and you will do fine.
I enjoyed the class, Ms. Hosty is very informative and and touched on many topics that I hadn't previously studied.
Great teacher, lots of material to learn from. Don't have to take notes if you don't want to. Really nice person if you talk to her.
she is a really cool instructor. very funny, she talks alot and is a wealth of knowledge. i am glad that i took this class. it is a easy, easy , easy course. you want regret taking her course. it's great.
Pretty awesome...you study you pass...:)
she was the best teacher i have ever had!!! i have never rated a teacher before but having her made me want to let everyone know how great she is!!! i wish i could take her again1111
Keeps the class moving
LUV this class, it's so enlightening to listen to what someone has to say that is soo good at teaching it!
take ms. h because she's very knowledgeable and knows her stuff. didn't need a book b/c she give you a shorter and cheaper version(meaning free) if interested take her you will not regret it!
Margaret was a great teacher. Very informative, knowledgeable, and prepared. She was always very helpful and easily accessable. This was a very interesting coarse and I really enjoyed it and Margaret's teaching.
Great professor kept the material interesting.
Great instructor. She really kept it simple. Study guides were on point with the tests. Anyone that needs a Humanities class should definitely take Ms. H.
Very informative teacher who is energetic about what she teaches. Gives you information to make your own conclusions about the subject at hand. I would recommend this teacher to anyone.
Great instructor, highly recommend her. Lots of important and necessary information for class as well as for the rest of your life.
Very helpful, get a study guide everything is on the test. She has interesting lectures!! Take her for sure! I got an A!
Excellent Professor, she keeps the class interested in the subject and active in learning. The information is extremely useful, and interesting. She is a must take professor for any and all Humanities, or Composition class.
I have learned a lot in this class. At first I took this class because it is required for my degree plan. I am glad I did. It is amazing to have a course that actually teaches you something that pertains to your everyday life. This course can be extremely easy if you just study your reviews. Attending class is an extra Perk!
Mrs. Hosty is a great teacher however, she spends to much time trying to convince us on how our country is heading towards communism. 90percent of the class time was spent on global warming, President Obama, agenda 21. If you dont mind weeding that out u will learn something. Hosty knws her stuff all right, she just needs to stick 2 the curriculum
Really mind opening. Loved the class and is one of a kind where you don't want to miss out. Would even like to go for fun. That is how good and dinamic the class is. Is not one of your every day class and you have to have an very open mind to go to this class. If your reason to go to school is just for some credits then this is not for you, Learn!!
AMAZING teacheer. Umm, yeah, the Agenda 21 stuff is because the class was geared around conspiracy theory to make it interesting and cause us to think. True, SHE is conservative, but none of the grading is based on political bent, and topics are controversial to keep class lively. Take this course and this instructor--well worth the time and money.
She does NOT teach theory as fact! She posted literlly HUNDREDS of PDFs of the original texts from 19-20th Cs and literally THOUSANDS of links to Internet sorces debating the issues covered so we could explore on our own. And impossible to get extra-credit for ANY reviews, since she doesn't get them until AFTER grades are in and they are anonymous!
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Hosty is very engaging and approachable. We covered a lot of material but it was very interesting and relevant. She is very fair and always prepared for class.
I loved her, but she was a bit on the "different" side. Smart as a whip, but preoccupied with the world ending and chemical warfare. I know it exists, but sometimes I left the class feeling horribly depressed. Overall, though, in a land of free speech, she made this class alot of fun and a wealth of knowledge for ME. Keep her.
She does begin almost every single class with very depressing news about our government and the world, which is VERY depressing. However she gives GREAT reviews and is almost always prepared for class. Textbook is NOT used! :-)
I have just completed this class. I loved every aspect of it. It is a very informative class on current affairs and how policies drawn up 100 years ago relate to modern day. Ms Hosty is a very approachable professor who gives fantastic study guides to help with you're exams.
I can honestly say this class was one of the most interesting I have ever taken. Few professors dare to go where professor Hosty will take you through American and world history. It was an amazing journey and I am better informed on our world because of this class. It was an Ivy League class experience at a community college price.
You will leave this class and not be able to believe the things you will learn! Hosty informs you of all the awful/great things that are going on in your government!! She does not use a textbook, you do not take notes, and her test are a breeze... if you study :)
This class is full of interesting and up-to-date information about current events and government. The test are not hard IF you study. She provides you with all the information you need to succeed in this class.
Okay, grumblers, I added up time of all videos shown since she gave us the links--only equals TWO class sessions out of 30, and ALL of them related to class materials (govt, Social Darwinism, Marxism, Rand's Objectivism,etc.), which is a WELCOME break from straight lecture and no visuals. You LEARNED if you paid attention, didn't you? SUPURB class!
I really enjoyed her lectures. They made you think!
Learned many famous pieces of art a college graduate should know.
the most interesting class I have ever taken!
If you are into conspiracy theories, then this class is for you. If not, then do not choose this professor.
Great Teacher! Really learned a lot. Prof. Hosty makes Humanities fun, I really enjoyed this class and would definatly takes some of her other classes
This teacher was great, she made me want to go to class even though attendance was not mandatory. As long as you study the review she gives you, you should make a very good grade in the class.
She is a good source of knowledge, and she cares about her students.
class is interesting. study guides for test are emailed. study visual part of test. great class.
very usefull information relative whit the class subjet. I did like the way she teach it. I STRONGLY RECOMEND THIS TEACHER.
Previous poster is lame and obviously didn't pay attention. 4/5 course is pre-20th century, other 1/5 ties material to current events. Class?Amazing.Teacher?awesome. Learned? LOTS! If you want to waste time on learning trivia, take someone else--this class rocks and helps to do well in other courses. Teach is honorably discharged vet and loves U.S.
Crazy like a fox. Codex alimentarius became law January 1, 2010, globally; Google and Youtube it. She didn't make up stuff--she provided THOUSANDS of links to articles and videos from around the globe to substantiate the conspiracy theory theme. Not helpful? She answered emails and graded all tests w/in 24 hours-A able because of HER study guides.
NEVER been in a class before where nobody took a nap. You will stay wide awake.Prof "H" FOR SURE will keep you involved and interested -she helps her students, never makes us selfconscious or feel dumb for asking. Learned a lot,had some fun too. Prof "H" is outgoing and friendly. TAKE THE CLASS - you won't regret it. She grades fair too.
I recommend this professor hands down. While the context of the class lectures seem to wain time and again the content is fantabulous. While some complained about the class about the content it would probably be prudent to say that if you came to class and paid attention to the content one might learn something useful.
Prof. margaret Hosty is a MUST if you need to take a intro course to Humanities and know nothing about it. She sparked my interest in the course. All I can say about Prof. H... AWESOME!!!! and she requires no textbooks :) go to class, she provides you with all the material you need to study to ace the exams.
As for the person who wrote they wouldn't recommend taking Prof. H's class.... If you would have attended class more than you stated you did, you would have learned a lot from her!! How easy it is to make an "A" but how rewarding it would have been for you to come to more classes and learn a great deal from her!
I really enjoyed this class. The grading was fair; tests reflected the lecture materials; study guides were concise; grades promptly available; great communicator opinions were welcome; she was highly organized and efficient in presenting a comprehensive study of Humanities. Again, enjoy, I did.
this was very educational. She does a very great job getting her objectives across to the student and provides every single information needed. Her class is designed for students to pass and if anyone fails its not her fault. She teaches you how to think, not what to think and that is the best part about class. She reveals things otherwise ignored.
If you know how to study and can commit to checking your e-mail (she tells you EXACTLY what will be on exams), you will ace this class. A lot of material is covered and everyone can find at least something that interests them in this class. Topics are out of the norm but really opens up your mind to the what-ifs of the world. A+++
Super cool teacher! Explains everything emails u right away,when u have questions. You always come out learning more than you did when you came in. defiantly recommend!
What an amazing class! The material was thorougly covered, exams where clearly known- especially with the study guides emailed to you, Professor Hosty knows her stuff and will teach you and allow you to voice your opionion and never judge you. Wish this Professor taught more classes! I would definetly take her again!
There is absolutely no reason to take anyone else for humanities. She is a fantastic teacher, and the class is incredibly interesting. TAKE THIS CLASS! I only wish she taught more classes so I could have her for other stuff.
She is an amazing teacher and the class was just delightful. she discusses topics that we as a people should be aware about and also keeps the class fun by using current references. very straight forward with exams and information, as teachers should be. i highly recommend this teacher, hands down one of the greatest teachers ive ever had.
Awesome class... very informative and interesting. You will never be bored in this class. If you do what is asked, you will make an A.
Very interesting class. Lots of interesting information. You will not be bored and if you do what you are asked, you will make an A.
She is awesome and will ansewr all questions.....if you want to be informed take this class, and lear just what you dont expect in this class!
Professor Hosty is the greatest professor ever! You'll learn everything from art, music, theatre, and literature from 18th-20th century to conspiracy theories, science and religion in today's world. She ties all of the information into your life, and every test question comes from the study guide. Study the guide and you'll get a A- at the least!
One of the best teachers I had so far. The information she provides is useful yet effective. She knows how to connect with students and relates the topic we are discussing with current events. Also all info discussed in class is provided so students can check it out for themselves. No book can ever discuss subjects the way Ms. H does.
Ms. Hosty is a great professor, although attendance is not mandatory, you find yourself attending her class. Her topics are interesting, she keeps you focused and entertained. Study the reviews and you swill surely pass the class with flying colors.
Prof H presents some powerful, important and sometimes upsetting information. She helps the students get a grasp on the forces attempting to shape the world and presents them in a way that allows the student (if so inclined) to check the information and facts presented. Some people leave feeling depressed or anxious, some empowered. Up to you which
Professor H was awesome. although attendance was not mandatory, the information she was teaching made you want to go to class. the review is exactly what is on the exam. no tricks, very clear, and very eye opening. i highly recommend taking her, her information will blow your mind. you dont have to believe it, but its good to be aware.
She was a great professor. I got sick with some stomach stuff and she was very helpful. I never missed an exams. The only grades she has for you is 4 exams and one is take-home and you get a month to do it. Overall, awesome professor. I wish all profs were like her.
I loved Prof. Hosty because she keeps it real with her students. She is very well researched, and she only uses material that she believes in to the teach the class with, not a textbook. She prepares the class for each test very well and gives awesome reviews. I have never met a teacher so passionate about what they teach, esp. conspiracy theory.
I had her for Intro to Humanities. She was the most refreshing teacher I've ever had. She likes to be honest with you and to the point. She also wants you to succeed so she gives you study guides based solely on the conext of the tests. Another awesome thing you don't need a text book!
Professor H is awesome!!! She is so crazy and you will be laughing during every class. She is honest and gives you everything for her tests. If you don't make an A then you never will because she is one of the few professors who literally tells you what is one each exam. Take her for humanities you won't regret it!!!!!
Professor H is awesome!!! She is so funny and just tells it like it is. I laughed so hard in this class. Great teacher exams are easy. She gives you everything you need for test!
Prof Hosty is one of those educators that you know you'll never forget! Take all the classes you can with her.
I am really going to miss this class! If you have the opportunity to take a class taught by Ms. Hosty then do so!
Prof Hosty is one of the best instructors I have been fortunate to have. Every class seemed to be a new adventure. She takes her job seriously, so she does everything possible to give you all the facts. She doesnt mind expressing her opinion, but loves to get feedback. Her class is a must. Thanks Prof H
If you cant stand the heat Stay out of her kitchen! She is CRAZY! Tells it like it is! She's not afraid to admit fault or point the finger. She doesnt sugar coat stuff and will offer her opinion in droves! Most irritating thing is she tries to talk overe the volume of the videos she's showing lol Awesome teacher. She shd get a raise!!
Awesome Professor and an awesome class! She is ALWAYS on time and is ALWAYS up to date in "Our World", she know's more about stuff and is so willing to share if you'll just listen. Class is Not Mandatory, but if your smart; you won't miss a single lecture. All the staff at TCC and other campuses could use her class, she is the bomb of knowledge!
Hosty is the bee's knee's. Never had a class as important to my life as this one!
The best professor i have taken for humanities. I enjoyed this class so much that i can retake it again for the fun of it.This professor is highly educated,intelligent, and quite clear. i would recommend her class to my friends.
I MISS HER ALREADY. SHE WILL ENLIGHTEN YOUR WORLD WITH KNOWLEDGE.SHE IS UNIQUE, INTELLIGENT,AND CARING.ITOOK HER CLASS,THOUGH IT WAS NOT REQUIREDAND AM WILLING TO RETAKEITANYTIME.TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU DESIRE A REAL EDUCATIONAND TO MAKEWISER CHOICESIN LIFE.SHE WILLFILL YOUR BRAIN WITH USEFUL KNOWLEDGE AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO BECOME A CRITICAL THINKER.
Great professor! Very knowledgeable and up to date with current events. She spends her class time actually teaching you with great information. Wish I could take her class again!
Professor Hosty was the best teacher that I've had at that campus. She was real and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. She spoke the truth and I believe that no other humanities teacher would've like her. She's one of a kind and very intellegent. I would like to thank her for taking the time out to teach us about what's important.I will miss her.
By far the best professor I have ever had, and will probably ever have. She cares about what she teaches and presents the class with useful information that you will use for a lifetime. If you ever get the chance to take one of her classes, DO IT!!
Ms. Hosty's class was my favorite class this semester. Her lectures were something I would regret missing if I was absent. You will know immediately though that she dislikes postmodernism. Very easy A if you can memorize images of paintings and the according artists. She will introduce you to art that you probably hadn't considered much. Take her!!
This was probably one of the worst professors I've ever had. Her tests were way to complicated and she expected way to much. Did not like her at all and wouldn't recommend her to anyone. We weren't allowed to take notes and we only had 4 grades the whole semester so you screw up on one test, you're done for.
Umm, yeah--notes were allowed, just discouraged. HELLO! Free study guides provided, no texts required to buy! Funny how OTHER students took notes and got no grief about that. Four exams means plenty of opportunities to pass--and that is the norm for Intro courses, so don't know what the whining is about. Hilarous and engaging lectures, take her.
Prof H was sweet and really helpful. She lectures about fine arts, dance, art, music, different eras and ALWAYS provides a visual for her students to see. Always willing to answer questions and help you out. Its mainly lecture and 4 tests that are easy if you study well. You should walk out the class feeling more aware of the world and enlightened.
Took this class only because I had to, but walked away glad I did. I learned so much more than I expected to. Her lectures are pertinent, not just to humanities but to life as well. Sure, this class wasn't the cakewalk I anticipated, yet I looked forward to it and appreciated the challenge. Wish more professors had her passion and knowledge.
Professor H is a very caring professor. Although she is tough of her test, they are really not that hard. All you have to do is really study to memorize and you will be fine. I rated her difficulty a 4, do to the fact that she wants you to memorize it and learn it, not just take a class and move on. Easy A "if" you truly study.
