She teaches as if she is teaching high school, constantly telling people to be quiet. She's got a high anxiety level which makes it hard to learn from her. Work load is ridiculous. Only take her if you're not taking anything else. She takes you to a trip to the school library and watches over your shoulder while you research. It's quite annoying.

Took her AMH2010. Online homework was cake, but her "tests" were a little ridiculous to me... she would hand you a "study guide" 1 week b/f test... 18 terms with at least a paragraph each, and 3 essay Q's...seems like a lot to learn in 1 week. by the time you finish the extensive study guide, the test is next day! Forces you to "CRAM" for it.....

Her tests are essay questions and identifying terms only, & she gives you too much extra information to study for thats never on the test. She forces you to cram for tests, which are usually irrelevant to the 3 pages of notes we take everyday. I hate this class.

I learned a lot in Dr. McCormick's class. She's tough but fair. Although her tests are difficult, they pull together the info learned into a timeline about history you can't forget. Do the homework, write the short essays, and study hard for the tests to do well. If you have the time, write about the terms at the end of each chapter to help tests.
