Great undergrad teacher(so she's easy!) However, YOU WILL NOT PASS IF YOU DO NOT READ!!! Other than the little reading she assigns(which turns out to be nothing once you take more classes)You will learn a lot of opposing view points so be ready Shimeka B

Very knowledgeable. Definitely MUST READ and PARTICIPATE in class discussions. If you do, you will get a good grade. She definitely makes you think.

Good teacher, makes you think you in 1st grade sometimes though. But she is around for help when you need it

She was very helpful if you get to know her. just show that your trying and you will do fine.

Awesome teacher! Understood everything she had to say. Lectures were helpful. A lot of reading but if you went to her class and took notes during lectures you don't really need to read. I recommend her if you actually want to learn something. :)

If its fair for a teacher to hold a grudge against students, then it definitely happens in her class. I went to class everyday, always did homework, got As and Bs on everything but one day fell asleep for 30secs in class and she failed me for "lack of participation and respect" she's really crazy!!

If you want an A in this class, do the following: (1) show up on time and for every class, (2) do not sleep in class, (3) make comments as much as possible, even if they make no sense, (4) do all of the required reading, (5) write your hand off during the tests. I liked the class.

Prof. McGuire was an excellent teacher. She clearly states her intentions on the syllabus; show up to class, do the reading and be ready to talk about what you read. Easy as that. I enjoyed her class immensely and her sense of humor is refreshing.

Really nice, funny, keeps class interesting. You have to keep up w/ the reading tho, she gives quizzes sometimes. If you read the tests are not too bad. She's always there for help, and is an awesome professor. makes history really interesting

Good history teacher! She presents notes from the reading that people were supposed to do on powerpoint (very helpful) and discusses every bullet in her slide to break it down for her students. She asks for participation to indicate to her that her students are doing their assigned reading. she's go

She is an awesome professoor!!! all the ppl who say she is hard or that her tests were very challenging.... are obviously not ready for college! She is resonable you participate as much as you can and work hard... i didnt really study for my first test and got a C then studied hard on my final and got an A... recieved an A in the Class Put EFFORT

Very cool and very fair...i believe. and yeah id say a pretty good teahcer.

Great teacher. I put this class off till my last semester and having taken mostly upper divison stuff for awhile this was way easy. First off read the material in a history class I mean thats basically all history is. Tests were easy I ended up writing way

i loved this teacher and the class was awesome.. anyone who didnt appreciate what mcguire had to offer and bring to the table each class meeting obviously isnt ready for college.. shes funny and sarcastic and she makes learning about stuff no one needs in everyday life interesting and entertaining.. two thumbs up mcguire!

She's a really good teacher, but you will only notice if you actually take the book out and read! If you are not serious about college yet, this is not the class for you. It's a lot of work, but you come out learning a lot. I'm not a history person, but she really wants her students to do well. All you have to do is read.

She was good when you paid attention

I think she is a wonderful professor. YOu NEED to participate but over all she is a great person. Her letures can put you to sleep but DONT she'll hate you forever. If you have a really bad habit of not studying or not reading assigned books, this class is not for you. Her midterm and final are very hard I wont lie, make sure you study!!!!!!!

Shes way chill

I only took this class because it satisfied an upper level GE requirement, but this ended up being a class I will take with me forever. There was a lot of reading but all the articles were interesting and easy to read. Prof. McGuire is a really interesting teacher and knows her stuff. You'll get a lot out of this class!

She is a very sweet woman and is extremely intelligent. If you decide to take this class be prepared to read. You can not just take the class, show up sometimes and still pass the exams. I learned a significant amount of information in this class and I have not forgotten it like most classes. Only two tests and one paper.

Great class to gain insight on the history, differences and similarities of our diverse culture here in the US. The readings are great b/c they are based on live experiences. This class is a real eye opener & will make u want 2 go out there & make a difference. Discussion class, movies/videos, journal entry ea class mtg. know ur vocab 4 tests.

nice but hard!

Loved her! Her intelligence on the subject is out of this world. Participation and Reading a must. 1 paper and 2 tests. If you study and read you will do fine. You should definitely take her!!

Great class. Shes really informative but requires the reading,participation, and attendence. 2 books 1 paper 2 tests. She really knows her stuff when it comes to american history and is really a nice professor. Easy b or c!

I loved her!! She is so knowledgable! Shes funny and doesn't take anyones crap. You must work hard to get a good grade but the class is interesting so it makes it easier! I got an A!

She is an awesome professor. She knows her material very well, and her lectures are actually interesting. Her class is never boring, but their is always alot of reading to do for homework. I highly recommend this class if you are willing to work hard. She is extremely helpful during her office hours and I regret not using that to my advantage.

She is extremely difficult. She makes the history interesting, which I never was before her class, but you have to be dedicated to her class. There is a lot of reading every night. And she gets REALLY upset if you don't read. Grades mostly based on midterm and final. MUST go to class to hear her lectures. She's nice, but it's a tough class.

She is AWESOME!! Seriously, her class isn't easy but it's so worth it if you actually try. READ and GO TO CLASS.. sounds like a hassle but if you have any heart, you'' love it. She's hilarious and so passionate about what she teaches. I became a history lover after her class

By far my favorite teacher ever. Anyone that has negative things to say about her class obviously just didnt try or take her class seriously.SHe made history interesting and the stuff I learned really touched me. The class is hard but its an awesome class I never wanted to miss. She is hilarious! earn brownie points by bragging about the show House

Great teacher, loves what she teaches. Participation is key in this class and so is reading if you read the text you will be fine. Prof. McGuire is always willing to help and loves when you ask questions.

mcguire is totally fun! she loves what she teaches and even though there is a lot of reading involved you learn A LOT!!! I would definitely recommend her :)If you do take her class i suggest you come to class prepared!

She is really nice, and doesn't mind having you come into her office hours if you're unclear about an assignment. Just make sure you do the readings, or else you will not pass!

She's a bit a difficult teacher, but she does what she says she's going to do. Follows the syllabus really closely, but can sometimes spend too much time on a topic, and then you'll have to catch up to where you're supposed to be. Do the reading and participate in class and you'll be fine. It's really not that difficult.

ok seriously do your readings, partisipate all the time and do the hwk! show you care and she will care about you. slave girl book was very good. super hard class but learned so much. i would take her again.

Some people should not be in college...Professor McGuire is a great teacher, she engages you. The course is not that difficult, just have put the time in. She does grade harshly, but is understanding about late assignments. If you take one of her courses, PARTICIPATE! I took 5 other classes this semester and still got an A in her course.

awesome teacher, the class moves smoothly. i always felt bad for the people who didn't read or participate because she will call you out on your sh*t! she teaches this course like it is an upper division level class.

Really Fun Professor!

Okay look, I took her and I loved her as a person and a teacher. Yes she can be a little hard, but I didn't do at least 70% of the reading and I still got an A-. I also loved her personality, and I hate history but she actually made it interesting for me. Just take her, it's college, stop acting like high schoolers. It's nice to be challenged.

Even my 300 level classes are not as demanding as this one is. This is an online class and she makes you come to campus (twice) for seminar and orientation. She thinks she is teaching grad school because honestly you will learn a LOT! Easily hurts your grade and may not something you want if you are looking to RISE your gpa.

She is one of those professors that tries to scare the hell out of you with lots of emphasizing on readings, exams, and seminars in your first year in college. She is nice but way to ambitious for what she wants from a 100 level class. I agree with the post below.

She makes History interesting and isn't a boring monotone professor. There are two group essays that aren't difficult as long as you do the work. A midterm and a final. As long as you do the readings and do your work it is an overall good class. She is worth taking because she is entertaining and has a sense of humor

Do what you know you should as an adult and as a student and you will succeed. She is passionate and expects reading to be completed & thought about prior to class. If you struggle with reading for content, take this class and ask her for help! Her methods will change your way of studying!

Not a bad professor. If you are a fan of history, she's actually pretty cool. Keep up with readings (which aren't that bad) and she'll love you.

If you're looking for an easy A, this is NOT the class! It was difficult, lot's of reading, and she is pretty tough when grading. Reading is MANDATORY! She kicks you out of class if you don't do the reading! If you do the work, study, and come to class regularly you will pass. She is passionate, engaging, and makes the subject interesting.

She was pretty amazing. Started out with a substitute since she was on maternity leave. She came back and was amazing. Her lectures were so interesting. If you're a history major, you'll appreciate her class. She was awesome.

I definitely recommend Professor McGuire, she is a great lecturer that made History very interesting, but there is a lot of reading. If you actually listen to her lectures and do the reading, you will get an A. She has a great sense of humor and I thoroughly enjoyed her class

She kept the class interested and engaged in class. Made history more of an investigation than a black&white story.

I struggled a lot in her class. I recommend going to class all the time because thats where you get your points. Do the readings assigned and you'll be fine. Have to read two books and do a socratic seminar on one of them. Do the online lectures that she puts up and participate a lot if you want to pass.

Professor McGuire taught an amazing class. She was very real with her students and didn't sugar coat anything. There were a few readings and a lecture to watch every week and quizzes were given almost every class on the material but if you do the work they will be easy to understand. Participation in the discussions is key in this class.

At first she seems to be VERY hard. Her tests are really tough and forum posts need to be very specific. After I struggled the entire semester she CURVED the exam grades and what once was a C became an A. Be very detailed on exams and forums and you'll do well. Still, hard class for the grade.
