TUFF! But Incredibly Interesting!!!

No Comments

The class is interesting and she's really helpful. But attendence is needed because there is so much information given in the lectures, it's hard to catch up if you miss class.

Mrs Biehler can be a hard teacher if you dont pay attention to the lectures. Most of what is on the tests she gives is covered in class so it is very important to attend. She will also add points to your final if you dont miss any class. Expect to write a lot if you want to get an A or B.

LOTS of note taking involved. Tests can be tricky - they include short IDs, essay-type answers, and multiple choice questions. Attendence is essential - she give 2 extra points for it though. Overall a very interesting class. She knows her stuff!

Gives timed test that are hard to complete. You have to study your ass off!

Very interesting, but tests are timed so it can be difficult to complete. Most of what is on test is given in lecture.

Tuff!!! But overall a great teacher.

She keeps the lectures very interesting and lets you know EXACTLY what she expects from you. Her tests are hard and timed, but she gives out a study guide that has 50% of the test questions on it. If you like history and are willing to put in the work Biehler is an excellent choice.

The trick to getting an A in her class is recording her lectures and taking notes. She does talk fast, so that is why you need to record her lectures. She covers all the information you need in the lecture. So if you don't like reading the textbook, take her class.

Overall was an okay professor. Her lectures go by fast so I recommend bringing a laptop, tests are pretty difficult but if you go over them before hand during her office hours you'll do better.

She's really funny and keeps lectures fairly interesting, but tests are ridiculous. I am normally an A/B student, but pulled straight Cs on tests. If you're like me, feel lucky that she requires a book report it saved me from making a C.

Have to study hard for the tests! If you ask a question in class, expect sarcasm. Lectures are interesting, but go by fast. Take lots of notes!

She uses powerpoints in her lecture that are very clear. She also has reviews online that go over everything on the tests. Shes interesting, funny, and easy to pay attention to. All you have to do is TAKE NOTES IN CLASS and DO HER REVIEWS. Do that, and an easy A.

First class taken after being out for several years and not bad at all. Not pleased that the only way to make a A/B is to do the book report and research paper. She keeps it interesting. I used a recorder as she talks fast. Overall I enjoyed her class.

Tests are pretty tough, her multiple choice questions are worded weird and sometimes hard to understand. Taking a summer class, she didn't make us do a research paper but instead we needed to write two essays per test. Finished with an A but could have easily gotten a B.

Ms. Biehler is an awesome . She keeps you engaged, very animated, and very knowledgeable. She makes history so interesting. She has plentiful stories to keep you awake. Her tests are very easy if you write down every single thing she says. Recommend getting a recorder. Studying is necessary. I took her in the summer no essay and recieved an A

Ways to succeed in her class? 1. Show up on time. 2. Read the chapters / print out the outlines and take good notes 3. Get a study group together EARLY! 4. Answer all the unit reviews, essay questions and know the IDs. 5. Get your book report and research paper done early...KNOW Turabian formating and you'll ace her class!

She is really interesting, her lectures are never boring but she is tough. You will have to meet with her outside of class b/c you never know what she really wants on her I.D.'s and essays. Grammer is very important to her, also do the extra papers.

Hands down one of the best lecturers I've ever had the pleasure of taking a class with. Covers everything on the test in her lectures and on powerpoints. Study guides are long but extremely helpful. She makes the most boring era of history super interesting. Highly recommend!

By FAR the best lecturer I've ever had. She talks to you in a story format and gives you relevant and "behind the scenes" info that helps you remember the material. If you go to class daily, take complete notes, pre-write your essays and ID's before the test and have her give you feedback, you will do well. Record her lectures - she talks fast!!

She is a great teacher and really cares about what she is teaching which makes it more interesting for everyone. Very understandable and reasonable. 3 papers and 4 tests. Have to study but if you do the reviews not too hard. Really good professor overall!

Her lectures were very interesting. She's very passionate about history but it's hard to tell when she's going off about something she finds interesting or something that will be on the test. I learned quite a bit, but I only got a B. Study guides and notes are provided.

She's hilarious and makes history really interesting. He tests are very tough and usually her tests have stuff that she teaches in the lecture.

Prof. Biehler is awesome. Her lectures are great, you must pay attention in order to write down important things to study for the test. Challenging class but can get done easily. Easy B or A!

Just finished her summer US Hist 1301 course and this class wasn't all too bad! She's pretty laid back and has good lectures. Note taking is a must in this course since everything is fast paced. There's 5 tests and they all had around 30 multiple choice questions.. Fairly easy

Prof. Biehler knows her stuff and gives you insight to small things in history that would never be covered in a regular class. I took her for her summer session so there was no essay, but 33 MC. Attendance is mandatory as her tests are entirely covered by her lectures and I would record them or write thorough word for word notes. Def. take her!

Don't stick to JUST lectures. Read and analyze material. This will help you out on the test as well.; I made the mistake of not doing so. Lectures are descriptive and very informal; So, come here expecting to write. Turn in good written assignments to help boost your graded at the end of the semester.

her lectures are like story time. She's tough on grammar on papers. Expects you to be an adult and follow the rules (be on time, turn stuff in, etc) and a lot of people couldn't grasp that. She knows her stuff. Attend class, take good notes. Print your stuff out ahead of time. She gives opportunities for extra credit-do it. Loved her class.

Prof. Biehler is a good teacher. Most of her lecture are clear and related to the content on her powerpoint. She often tell a little story about all the historical locations she have visited. Her test is hard but if you listen and take some note anything will be find. All of her lecture is related to the test.

She's a character, but in a good way. I highly suggest recording her lectures, and printing out all of the slides per unit ahead of time. She talks fast and is a story teller, so it's easy to miss stuff, and or get caught up on details that won't be on the exams. She wants you to do well, so pay attention and ask questions!

Prof. Biehler is very strict and straight forward, but she is also honest and helpful. She covers all the test material during her lectures, and she's really willing to explain things and answer questions. Passing the class is easy, but if you want to get a good grade you have to work hard. Overall, I loved her class and would take it again.

I've never been interested in history unless I took her class, and now it's one of my favorite subjects. The tests are purely based on the notes you take from her lectures, and she reviews last classes' material at the start of every lecture. Before test day she'll answer any questions and has a straightforward study guide. STUDY FOR TESTS!

Awesome teacher. She was very clear about what she wanted throughout the semester. She always tried to make it as simple as she could for each student and made sure when students needed to retest she went through the test to help them understand where they went wrong. All-in-all an amazing teacher who thinks about her students.

Prof. Biehler talks fast but if you pay attention, write notes, and attend all lectures, you get through it. She reviews previous lesson in every classes which helps in the exams. Some exam questions are hard since I am not strong in critical thinking but doing the extra credits help tremendously to bump up the grade. She has a good sense of humor.

Nancy is awesome. She really cares about her students. Super quick at returning emails. one of the professors that actually gives a damn about what shes teaching and tries to make it interesting. Honestly her course is only difficult because her lectures are quick. if she opens her mouth it has to do something with the test. just ask alot of q's!

I absolutely adored Professor Biehler, but I will warn you that she is made of tough stuff! No interruptions, no cell phones out in class, and she is big on class participation and attendance. Her sense of humor meshed well with mine, but some may consider her "mean". Don't take if you don't like it when a professor pokes fun at you.

First acc class, but as a dual cred student I enjoyed. No textbook, simple lecture notes, and(good)optional zoom lectures. Tests are open response and ppl who wrote bad reviews are just salty abt grades:) I honestly bs'd this class and did fine. Easy class, but hard grader + not that organized. Would take again. peace out biehlerthank you

I took this class as a dual-credit student and I enjoyed it. I've always struggled with history because it's just hard to me to stay engaged and interested in the topics but Professor Biehler did a good job of telling stories that relate to the topics. She is very knowledgable, just ask questions and send her emails! She also posts notes, use them!

The first couple of weeks of class.. it was kind of rocky, but as the class progressed I learned that her class is only difficult if you make it difficult, from day 1, her syllabus explains everything that you will need to turn in for the semester. Few assignments and plenty of time to do them. She is lecture heavy but her lectures are engaging!

This class is a hit or miss for people. First off she talks very fast and it is extremely hard to tell what is going to be on the test or not. The tests were difficult. This can be attributed to the nature of the questions as they are very confusing. However, she is extremely entertaining.

Most of the bad reviews here are written by bitter students that got bad grades but spent the whole class playing Tetris. The exams are big-picture, with the exception of a few small details she emphasizes. She's an easy grader on papers, which are short, and it's easy to pass the class if you just pay attention. Know the vocab!!!

Prof Biehler was very commonly either liked or disliked with little in-between. She talks very fast and many times stated that she expects her students to right down everything she says. Tests were very difficult and the average score was often barely passing. She is very funny, but make sure you have thick skin if you take her class.

Professor Biehler had difficult exams, but everything she goes over in her lectures and study guide is on the exam. If you study everything she goes over and what's on the study guide you should be fine. Make time for her class, study with your friends, and don't be shy to email her or go to her office hours.

She does her lectures in a way that makes it so easy to stick. She will review chapters often and push for participation to make sure we got it down. The tests are difficult but there are solid opportunities to do extra credit/makeup work. She's a history geek and loves to talk about the fun facts or her experiences seeing historical landmarks.

Your entire grade is 5 tests and if you want A or B have to write essays. Lectures were all in person, but were actually made interesting, chapter notes were posted online after they were done. She would review before tests, but try to do individual review beforehand, had very specific answers for wording on some. Pretty good for a lecture course.

Such a passionate professor! As an immigrant, I was scared of taking this U.S. History class, but Ms. Biehler made it so interesting and fun that it was worth it. She gives fantastic lectures and will always post the material for you to study by yourself. TAKE NOTES: it is a lot of material, but if you take notes, it makes sense. Don't skip class!!
