It is important to go to class to get lecture notes which often provide test questions. Module notes online are helpful if you don't make it to class though.

If you know that you can't wake up for her 730, then don't take it. It is way too easy and interesting of a class, but if you don't go then you will blow it.

Previous poster, the fact that you are able to identify her political affiliation means that she has a bias. For a history teacher a bias is something that should not be known, the teacher should instruct based on the truth and never let their political beliefs become known during class. Also note that I did not giver her a bad rating.

GREAT teacher-- very interesting. I do like history, but, you don' t really have to like it in order to enjoy her class. Very easy to talk to and doesn't make you feel stupid. It is a good idea to have a laptop for this class because you WILL want to take a lot of notes so that you don't have to go back and read the text book. I just used notes

Professor Adams is an amazing lecturer, she somehow made a ton of history concepts very entertaining. I will say that there are very few tests and assignments to rely on for the grade, but as long as you attend class, listen, and take notes, you'll be successful. The tests never have anything that she doesn't talk about, so attend class!

Professor Adams does a great job in regard to her lectures. What is stated is likely to be on the tests with no random or unfair questions being present. Four multiple choice/fill in the blank tests in addition to four easy writing assignments. She's not a tough grader so as long as you can write decent paragraphs, you'll pass.
