It's not that the class is hard but she loads you down with petty work. Jack and Jane went up the hill type stuff. You do not have time to do your homework if you are full time student. She goes from minor work to major work. She is not organized. She did not make me feel comfortable talking about racism issues every chance she got. PRN teach

She is still wet behind the ears. She seems alittle preoccupied by her own classes she is taking, and missed a lot of classes. Sometimes she'd give us a little work, but then one day she would slam us with a lot of work. She was very unpredictable. She pretends to be real tough, but she is understanding. I guess I would take her class again.

amazing lectures and caring professor. If you are a procrastinator, do not take this class. She will give assignments and papers, keep in journal, turn in only 2 journals. Test are not multiple choice, but gives out so much extra credit, so if you fail all 3 tests you can still get an A+. Cannot skip more than 3 classes to receive an A. RECOMMEND!

Be ready to watch a couple of hour long videos, articles and long chapters. She is a very tough grader! The complicated thing about it is that she won't post grades until the end of the semester so you won't know if your doing good or bad. I thought I was going to end up with a "C" but thanks to extra credit I was able to boost up my grade.

A lot of work and Extra Credits. Work hard and will get A. I did my History 1301 & 1302 ( 2018 Spring & Summer class) with Professor Michelle and I got A in both. Just take your time, try and do the Extra Credits ..

Navarro has a good heart and she is an understanding teacher but she lectures through the whole class nobody will get a chance to speak. also feels like a high school class because she takes attendance and will always start class a little early and always make you stay later than the class period with her lectures. Nice teacher but lots of HW!

She is an amazing teacher but if you are not willing to learn, work and participate, find someone else. The textbook was free online, all I needed to do was dedicate my time and energy to the 16 writing assignments throughout the course. No final exam. Lots of room for extra credit if need be. If she taught anything else I would take that too.

Some are saying that there's lots of homework but they don't shed light on the fact that some of those assignments are extra credit. She does give an assignment each day of class but because mine was Tues/Thur it wasn't that bad. She remembers her students and takes time to connect with them. I Literelly learned so much in class. TAKE HER!!!

Homework heavy. Lots of writing. HOWEVER, no tests, midterm, or final exam. Very rare for a history class. Lots of self learning as assignments are based on content a week ahead of lectures. Required to read and watch a lot of content. It's not a difficult course and allows you to relate to history. Only negative was the book. Author is very bias.

Textbook was available online for free and linked by prof, don't bother buying from store. Don't be disruptive in class, do the assignments and discussion boards, easy A. No tests. Would take again.

WARNING FOR ONLINE STUDENTS!!!!!! Do NOT take this teacher, she is the WORST!! She has insane assignments that are super long, each section has three to four sections and each section has literally like ten questions so be ready to write like crazy. I DID NOT like her class.. this one of my worst experiences. She takes centuries to grade.

Professor Navarro is fantastic! You will learn more than just U.S. History in her class, and it will be useful information as a student, professional, and a human being. Prepare to take notes because she will grade them. Heavy on the homework, but I found the information I learned fascinating. It gave me new perspectives. No Final Exam & Ex Credit.

Professor Navarro is going to give you an education. The class is not easy but you will come out knowledgeable in history. With that said, do the work and you will pass. Just stick to turning in assignments on time and put in a little bit of effort and anyone taking her class should get an A. Offers extra credit.

If you're wanting a "think outside of the box" professor and don't mind A LOT of work then this is who you want to take. There are the weekly lectures, but I noticed that most of the homework involved more documentary videos (1-3 hours of videos) twice a week instead of the lecture material and you don't have a lot of time to do them.

This professor cares about her students very much. She learned my name within the first week of class. If you do the work when it's due you will easily pass with an A. Her lectures are easy to understand. She tries to engage the class with online discussions and uses the GroupMe app at the beginning of class. She also gives out plenty extra credit.

NO TESTS!! Complete all the assignments before the firm deadline, its a lot but if you complete them within the regular due you are going to be fine and get good grades. Professor cares about your mental health so if anything let her know and she will lead you with any difficulty. Overall, I enjoyed her class a lot.

Very easy class but a lot of work. The assignments are so extremely boring but easy. Theres 16 assignments, 4 discussion boards, 1 "essay", each with 3 sections (except the essay with 4). Each section is 1-2 paragraphs and aren't too bad. Lot of restrictions on using ai, so be wary of that. I ended the class with a 100%, if u do the work easy A
