Great professor, very energetic teaching style, do the reading and you'll do great in her class. Overall very cool professor
SHE MAKE THE CLASSES FUN. YOU DONT KNOW IF YOU ARE WASHING A MOVIE OR SITTING ON A HISTORY CLASSROOM. SHE IS GREAT......
She is the best teacher that I've ever had, and she gets straight to the point. Everything that's in the notes are on the test.
Great story teller. Knows alot about the material, and her tests are based on lecture. I only used the book if I took bad notes on a certain subject.
Dr. Lopez is the bomb! You cannot miss ANY of her classes, but you won't want to. Don't bother buying the book, she tests from her lectures. Take GOOD notes, study them, and you'll do fine. She makes history interesting and even funny. Great sense of humor!
Very interesting class and she doesn't bog you down with unimportant details. If you take good notes you'll do great.

I HATE HISTORY AND I HAVE DROPPED MANY HIST CLASSES. THIS CLASS IS VERY EASY AND INTERESTING. I AM NOT BUYING THE BOOK FOR THE SECOND PART BECAUSE SHE TESTS STRAIGHT FROM HER LECTURES. GO TO CLASS TAKE GOOD NOTES AND THIS WILL BE AN EASY A (EVEN FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE HISTORY LIKE ME!)
Not as easy as her ratings show here. Must attend every class and take good notes. She has 4 tests for the total grade. She gives a good review sheet for her test but they are very hard. Good lecture and no homework, but very hard tests. I got a "C". =(
GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! What more can I say? Very precise and knowledgable of this subject area. Clear lectures. The only time I use my book is for chronology purposes. Otherwise, I refer to lecture notes ONLY when studying for and exam. Easy and fun. Take good notes and you'll pass
She is a very good teacher, but must keep up with her notes in order to do while. She is willing to help you pass her class. She made the class interesting.
ratings don't reflect class. she gives too many notes. do not miss a class. you will be left behind. i got an a, but the class sucked!!!!
Ms. Lopez made History interested and fun. Before taking her, I truly hated the fact that I had to take history, but Ms. Lopez made me see History a different way.
Excellent historian! Although we burdened her to death with questions, she kept up with us and made sure we understood something-so much so that we didn't quite cover all we were supposed to. So what, what I have is a very well developed sense of what we did cover instead of some shoddy run through of everything just to say we had.Take her classes!
Dr. Lopez was a very great history professor. Instead of the usual dull lectures, she made it very interesting by cracking some jokes here and there. Word of advice: take good notes because that's where she gets a lot of her essay questions from. It's an easy A, trust me
Dr. Lopez is great, i didn't buy the book for her class, you don't need it, all of the test including essays come from her notes, if you miss aclass borrow notes, as long as you understand the notes and study at least 3 hours for the test you'll be fine. I got an A on all her tests and i missed at least 5 or 6 classes. She is very interesting and d
Easy Class.
Dr. Lopez is an excellent teacher. Take her. She makes class fun. She gives study guides. She gives study sessions before tests to help you out. She drops 1 test. Study and take notes.
He is a great professor. As long as you come to class then you will pass. He has an outline and a study guide before the test. There is no way anyone shouldnt pass his class. Very easy to talk to and I recommend him to every freshman from here on out.
Prof does not use book and everything is lectured. Tests are mostly Essay and Prof looks for key items. If you’re great at note taking and essays this is your Prof if not well...
I hate History; enrolled and dropped the class at least 10 times. She made it interesting and worth while. I did not put 100% into the class and still managed to get a "B", would have been an "A" otherwise. She is a great Prof. I definitely recommend her. Take good notes and enjoy.
This is mainly a lecture class. You have to take lots of notes. People, including myself, bought a recorder for class. There is lots of writing involved but fairly easy if you study your notes.
Straight-forward, animated professor. Her all essay examinations that aren't painful because material is definately covered and repeated in her lectures. Be in class for it is my only advice.
THIS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR. I DIDN'T EVEN LIKE HISTORY UNTIL I HAD HER AND NOW IT'S MY MINOR. BEST TEACHER AT UHD
Excellent class. I was not at all interested in History until I took this class. Fun professor. Exams are ok IF you study. I highly recommend class attendance as well. Forget buying the textbook, but definitely get the class outline (blue book) she recommends for the class. You will save yourself from writer's cramp if you do.
Very, Very good lecturer. Even if you do not like History you will enjoy her class. She is funny and very animated when speaking. However, you cannot miss a class because it is all lecture. Her exams are all from the lecture DO NOT waste money buying the book. Must study for the exam or you won't pass.
BEST PROF EVER! DO NOT BUY THE BOOK, SHE PROVIDE HANDOUTS. yOU WILL LOVE THIS CLASS EVEN IF YOU ARENT IN TO HISTORY. I WOULD DIE TO TAKE ANOTHER CLASS WITH HER, BUT IS NOT MY MAJOR. MUST TAKE PROF LOPEZ
Awesome teacher. She makes history worth learning and loves what she does. If you fail this class you never came to class. She gives you everything and more needed to make an A in this class!! Take her, do it now!
Before Dr Nancy Lopez I hated history. Now I love it and considered making it my minor. She is the best! Take good notes. She hands out outlines to help you take notes. She hands out a sheet of key words or topics to know for the test.I got A's in both history classes I took from her.
She's a very nice, and smart lady. Funny at times, keeps the class interested. Tests won't be hard ONLY IF YOU STUDY. I kind of sort of studied and made Bs. I definitely recommend, you'll learn a lot!
She rocks!! Best professor ever! Knows how to teach! Loved her class!
GREAT Teacher. I have took History three times and droped . Her Teaching skills are the best. She is very exicted about what she is teaching. She uses pictures and powerpoint to keep you intrested. You have to come to class she has her own book that you have to fill in the blanks. Test are easy if u study . Three parts to each test.I loved the clas
I was not a fan of history and dropped it 3 times. When I took her class, I loved it!!! I am looking forward to taking her again for 1306 in the fall. I highly recommend her class. The tests are challenging in a good way.
Awesome teacher!! She is extremely knowledgeable and understanding!! She teaches history one and two both rocked!! Easy test! I would defiantly take her again! If you want an easy class but want to learn this class is it!
You must attend class but she's a wonderful teacher!!
Good prof likes to help... not need to buy book
She is very thorough and has the ability to make the lesson stick. She was very knowledgable and easy to understand. If you fail her class, you either were there or didn't try.
She knows her stuff, well organize, and knowledgeable. She is easy to understand, and her test is not much difficult, but you definite need to study for her test. Also, attendance is mandatory. If you want to learn, this is a good class for learning. You can get an A, but you have to put more than little effort. I made an A in her class for summer
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT UHD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She needs to teach more classes!!!!
She's a great Professor and she's passionate about her subject. Attendance and note taking is a must! But beware you must STUDY all the notes and prepare 2 essays for the test. Only 1 essay will be required but it must be very thorough. You'll do well if you're a good essay writer.
The koolest teacher at the D!she makes history so fun and theres times where she lightens the mood aswell.i took her my frist year and for both classes 1305-and 1306 class isnt too chalenging just study and youll do great. be percise on the essays!
She is an excellent teacher! Show up to class pay attention and study and there is no reason why you should not get an A. I would recommend her to any one. She inspired me to become a History teacher.
She is so boring! I hated her class shes not that easy either!
she is outstanding. she makes you want to learn. she is fair. you show up, take notes, study, work the essay, be prepared and you will pass with an A. she actually cares about her students. she is the best teacher. EVER. i can honestly say I hated history but she makes it very interesting and has a lot on energy.
She is the best professor EVER!
She is AMAZING. You have to show up to class she takes attendence..you don't have to write your own notes because she makes a book where you can buy that has all the notes. Test are SOOO easy. They come directly from the quizzes she gives once a week. Lectures are boring but aren't all? I don't know how you could fail her class!
Professor Lopez is an excellent teacher. She knows the subject matter very well. She makes you write eassays for her last, but she gives you the topic before the exam. You will just have to practice writing the essay before the test.
AMAZING! she's a great teacher. DON'T BUY THE BOOK, you don't need it and it'll be a waste of your money. All her test are directly from the quizzes she gives out every week. Just study the quizzes and the lecture notes and you'll get an A. The class couldn't be any easier! Easy A.
Wonderful teacher, makes material interesting, extremely useful printed book used for note taking, gives good advice on exams, all material on exams gone over very well in class. wanted to take her class for 1306 but only teaches night classes for next semester
She's an amazing professor. I took her back to back for both history classes and she was very helpful. She's always willing to help to ensure that you at least pass the class. She's a must take professor
I had her class in the last two semesters. Her class is a lot of fun. she is a very very good teacher. she cares about her student, and the material we cpver is class is a lot but if you take good notes and study: the class is a piece of cake!!! thanks for everything Dr. Lopez
Dr. Lopez is an incredible instructor and person. She is brilliant, very passionate about the subject, willing to go WAY out of her way to help dedicated students, and her preparation is unmatched! And yes, it is true she is also very pleasant to look at! I wish she taught more upper level classes!
Dr. Lopez is truly the BEST professor I've taken thus far. She goes out of her way to help her students. Her classes are very interesting. And yes, she knows her stuff. I would love to take again for the 2nd part of History. If you fail her class - it's not her fault. Dr. Lopez, thanks for going above and beyond! UHD - She's a keeper...
She is a great teacher.She know her history and the way she explained make you want to learn. If you take the quiz and study the notes you should pass her class with an A orB
I'm not interested in history, so I was dreading this course. Dr. Lopez was wonderful and it ended up being my favorite course of the semester! Her lectures are very engaging and she is a very helpful professor. You need to pay attention and study for the exams, but she provides review sheets. If you make the effort, you can get an A.
If you like a teacher who is passionate, helpful, understanding, and somewhat challenging. You should register for Dr. Lopez's class. You will not need the book.
There's not enough I can say about Professor Lopez. She was byfar the best professor I had all semester. She's very helpful, presents the topic well, and gives you reviews for the test. If you fail it's your own fault. You really don't need the book except maybe for one quiz. The best part is she teaches many history courses. I recommend her class!

Prof Lopez is really great! Her lectures are engaging and you can see that she truly loves to teach History. Her test are kind of tricky, mult. choice with a required essay, but if you really give it your best by studying the book she gives you and preparing an essay in advance, you will do fine. She also gives a review sheet for each test!
I did enjoy Prof. Lopez's class because she did make history entertaining and interesting for the most part, but I would have to disagree with a lot of these comments. I felt like the tests covered WAYY too much material and were quite difficult even if you studied for hours. She was nice and helpful, but the tests were overwelming.
Dr Lopez is very good and patient with students she helps a lot and is a caring, entertaining teacher. my rating for this teacher is A++++++
Although this is the first day of class, i was very entertained in her class. She makes you want to know what happens next in her class!!! I know that i will be making an A in this class highly recommend. Based on what i have seen, books seem pointless and its imperative to be in class and take notes!!
Love Dr. Lopez- great teacher! Actually miss her now that I've moved on to other classes. She provides great study guides, if you do poorly in her class, then you didn't study at all.
The class is super easy if you actually study,if you fail it is your own fault. No college class is easy even with R.M.P., is history so there is a lot of information. But,her tests consist of 25 multiple choice question, 10 short answers and an essay. STUDY and you'll do fine. If you do good on the 1st two exams, you don't need to take the 3rd one
Took her class during Summer of 2011. It is important to go to class. Se used outlines and all we did was fill them in with our notes. She is very animated, informed, and eager to help others. She is easy to work with. Her exams consisted of short answer questions, multiple choice, and locating places on a map. I know she gives exams differently during the normal semesters. She is awesome!
She is a great, awesome teacher. you should take her. just learn hard and you'll get A's
Pofessor Lopez is the best History teacher I have ever had. She has really inspired me to learn and be interested in our countryâ??s History. This was a class I thought would probably be boring; however, she made it very interesting with her dynamic lectures. We had 3 exams plus the final; she dropped the lowest grade on the first three.
The book was not used in class, but it is very important to read it for the online quizzes which are all from material covered in the book, not in the lectures. She provides a clear study guide for all exams, and if you really study the terms and understand them, you will get an A.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LEARN HISTORY, TAKE HER. If you want a free A, this class is not for you, neither is college.
Should take her class. She is very nice and understands anyone. Just follow notes she gives in the class time, then you test is very clear. Before test, she will give you a study guide.
she is a very very great teacher. just learn and you will be fine. easy A
This is the best history class I have ever had. Her class consists of lectures that you follow along to on your own copy the school sells of her lectures, no homework, extremely easy tests. Seriously this is a class I do not regret taking.
Prof. Lopez is awesome. She is very enthusiastic about her subject matter and she is totally hilarious. Although I find Women's History to be a pretty boring subject (no offense), I am always entertained throughout her lecture. Easy enough if you do the study guides. Take her!
BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER TAKEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE!
After you take this History you will know more about History than you ever knew in your life. Dr. Lopez will drill it in your head long after you passed her class. I wish every Professor cared so much so if you want to see the very best UHD has to offer sign up for one of her classes. It will be the best descions you can make
Great Professor really cares about her students and wants you to get the material. Uses her own personal book she created tests are exactly from that book. Has 4 exams drops lowest. On exam 500 word essay, short answer, and multiple choice.
very good teacher I have patterned alot of my classes on her
Study your life away. Thats it
I'm being very honest with you guys! You will learn in class believe me, but she's psyco on grading papers and how she grades she's difficult to pass with a good grade, you WILL HAVE TO study ALOT!
Professor Lopez is probably the best history teacher in campus! Her way of teaching is very helpful. Her lectures are NOT boring at all. In her lectures she includes PowerPoint's that help reinforce what she's teaching. She teaches with excitement and a none-monotone voice. I RECOMMEND HER 100%!! DON'T MISS OUT!!
VERY VERY easy. She is a great history professor and it's not hard to stay awake and pay attention in her class. As long as you answer the study questions you can get an easy A.
How to pass her class? 1) GO TO EVERY CLASS. 2) Pay attention to her lectures 3) Take notes 4) Do the online quizzes. Literally, if you did all that, you literally do not have to study. She has a very interesting way of lecturing, as if she is just telling you a story like she's your friend or something. YOU WILL LEARN A LOT FROM HER!
Teaches like she tells a story!!!... Interesting class, and she is willing to help you no matter what!... Very focused class, and you learn A LOT
Professor Lopez is very enthusiastic and almost makes her lectures into a story. She is very clear in everything she says and even though I hate history, her lectures were always interesting. You need to study if you want to pass. Do the homework and quizzes, they aren't that bad at all. The first exam is a wake-up call!
Got to keep up with work and notes. Tests were hard.
She's very entertaining and funny. Her lectures are never really boring but the online weekly quizzes got harder as time passed. The questions on the quizzes became very specific, therefore you must take lots of notes in the book to be prepared for the quizzes.
The absolute best HIST at UHD Very clear instruction. If you fail it''s because you wanted to.
I think that if you just take the time and stay in the class for only 30 minutes, you are going to be addicted to her lecture. What i really like about her is that she is always prepared to answer any of my questions. I wish every professor could be like her.
Absolutely A-MA-ZING!
So long as you go to class and study her study guide questions, you'll do fine. She gives you the lecture notes with blanks for you to fill in. I usually do poorly in history, but did well in her class. tests are based on lecture notes and quizes are based on textbook.
Dr. Lopez is my FAVORITE professor. I suck at history and she made me absolutely love it. The way she teaches is so helpful ( lecture outlines and you fill them in). I didn't think the class was hard at all as long as you answered the questions in outline (similar to exam questions!) and look at the review. Engages students and is very fun!
Best. History. Professor. Ever. I never truly learned a thing about history and now I can talk for days about history. Study outlines and truly understand them! Take more time than just looking at the questions if you want an A! Put all the info you know into the essay... She makes the class a story, the essay is a time to retell that story!!
I never truly learned a thing about history and now I can talk for days about history. Not an easy A, gotta work hard. Study outlines and truly understand them! Take more time than just looking at the questions if you want an A! Put all the info you know into the essay... She makes the class a story, the essay is a time to retell that story!!
Dr. Lopez took a subject I was already passionate about, Russian History, and made it come alive. A lot of writing on exams, be prepared to state facts complete with dates, names and specifics, She is big on the specifics. Pay attention to her exam reviews, and take a lot of notes. She grades hard, but fair. This class was a lot of fun!
Best professor I've had so far! I am foreign and History has always been a tough subject but man, this professor made everything so easy! Her lectures are so fun to listen to, she is very clear, and she is really funny. Her tests are hard, and she includes essays which are kind of difficult but if you study, you will pass. LOVE HER!!!!
She does keep you busy, but her lectures are interesting. If you study the review you'll do fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never bought the book and still passing with a A
hardest class I have ever took. she will always keep you busy. must read the chapters to pass the weekly quiz. tests were hard( essay and multiple choice). very hard to keep up with her lectures. she talks very fast. but the final were easier than the normal tests.
Dr. Lopez is an awesome teacher!! I took her history 1306 class for the spring 2015 semester. As long as you show up to class and put effort in, you will easily get an A. I always hated history but she made the class so entertaining!!
Dr. Lopez is amazing!Her teaching method is powerpoints but with very few words and you have an outline that you fill in while she talks she makes her lectures very interesting and funny and will *HINT* you on important things for the tests her quizzes are online and straight from the book. Take notes and study her outlines and you should do great!
This class is fairly easy if you do all the readings and study before the tests! She drops your lowest test grade. Usually first two tests will have an essay the next 2 will not (completely multiple choice)
you only "need" a book for the online quizzes but if you google the answers you'll make an A on those. Never miss class unless it's an emergency. Tests are strictly based on lecture notes. She provides lecture notes with fill-in answers that she'll say in class. 3 essays, study regularly, do the review questions and you'll pass with a B or A.
Dr. Lopez is very nice and respectful. If you are looking for an easy A, it won't happen. If your looking for an engaging class room environment, it wont happen. I feel l just studied to make a grade. You wont learn unless you like to learn. Would not take again.
If you don't study you will definitely not pass this class. She can be interesting in her lectures but you really have to work and study for that A or B.
Dr. Lopez was the best History I have ever had! She makes her lectures really interesting. She gives you outlines to fill in during the lectures and at the end of the outlines there are questions to help you study. But theres not that much studying to do because as long as you listen to the lectures, you will do fine.
General Descriptions of historical events or persons will not fly in this class, the more specific the better for this professor because she her exams are all about the writing short answers and essays. She is very willing to work with you if you ask, especially if you find yourself being too general on exams.
I regret taking this class, she is a tough grader and her tests where super hard. She would give us the outlines for notes in class and the tests reviews but the test was nothing like it. She would make them hard and confusing. There was 1 paper and 10 online quizzes which you can get help online overall this class was horrible
Her lectures are very intellectual and entertaining for the fact that it's a boring subject.
Great professor! Really brings the lectures to life. You must be willing to take notes and attend every lecture. Exam material comes straight from her lectures. I will add we were assigned one 12 page term paper, If you have outside responsibilities (work, other work intensive classes) I might not recommend this class as your first choice.
1. Test 1 and 2 have 28 MC and an essay 2. Go to her before the final exam and she'll let you review the previous exams 3. 4 0r 5 Online quizzes from text book readings (helps if your grade is struggling in class) 4. Practice the essays before you take the exams! (if you don't, you'll fail) 5. Memorize her handouts and you'll pass the MC
great professor she made her lectures interesting. attendance is mandatory if you don't show up then you wont pass, her test are based on all her class lectures and notes which she does not post online. textbook is required for the beginning of the semester in her class due to weekly quizzes. show up to class and study the notes and you'll pass
She's a great professor. I will say that her tests were based on her lectures. She gave us outlines for us to fill out & will tell you when something is going to be tested on. Such an easy class, as long as you look over the outlines, tests should be easy to take. Lowest test score will be dropped w/ final. She will use the book for online quizzes.
I took her two years ago and taking her class still linger on my mind. I received my first D in her class in my entire college career and I went to class everyday! She was not very clear in understanding her lecture and when we took exams in her class we used blue-books. She may seem sweet but she grades tough.. I would not take her again.
The Best History that I've ever hard you have to work for it in order to attain a good grade, review your notes and outlines and you should be fine. Take her she's amazing! She does powerpoints which she puts a lot of work, such a gem
The tests are based on the lectures. That is all you need to know
Her exams are based off her lectures. She gives you outlines so do the questions in the back, they will help! She's funny and her exams are straightforward
One of the best professors I've ever had!
Took her for HIST1305 and wanted to take her for HIST1306 too, but she isn't teaching that class right now. Very understanding teacher, gives good feedback, some extra credits questions in exams and awesome lectures. She made me like history. I never understood history like this before. She's truly a gem. Take her if you actually wanna learn.
Great professor you don't need the book and her test are strictly on lecture she is awesome would definitely take her again!
She is an awesome professor. If you're not ready to work and earn a good grade, do not take her.
Go to class bc she doesn't put her material online. 1 group presentation, 4 exams, 7-10 quizzes, and 1 paper. Awesome professor who will make you interested in history. She preforms while she lectures to provide emphasis on topics. Overall, easy class if you study. Many people had a hard time bc of the amount of information tested in each exam.
She takes attendance; her exams and quizzes are based on the lecture notes that she goes over with the class; 1 group presentation; you can use the same bluebook for your 4 exams. She does curve grades which helped me passed her class. Passionate about what she teaches. Her pet peeve: Do not walk out of class unless you leave a note before class.
Awesome professor, she makes the lectures fun and interesting. I would definitely take her again. She is very understanding and will help you pass if you try!!
Good professor! Like how she is organized with the Notes. Will suggest to read from textbook for test. Test has an essay question so be prepared for that, she will give 2 or 3 questions days before test so you can practice to write your essay bc never know which question will she put (she is looking for specific words to get full credit).
Excellent teacher. Received an A average. If you pay attention and show up, you should be fine. Her tests are based on her lectures, so it's important to pay attention. Some people say it's hard, but I think it's hard to fail her class when it's really easy. She is also very humorous in her lectures, it's a pleasure to be in her class.
Shes an amazing profesor! Her lectures are exactly what will be on the exam. She is very understanding and is very helpful! I never thought history would be interesting and fun until I took her class.
I've TA'd for her HIST 1305 and fell in love with her lecture style, so I decided to take up her Russian history course and was /not/ disappointed. There is a 12-page term paper, and the exams are extremely writing-heavy, but it honestly is one of the best courses I've taken in my college years. I cannot recommend her more!
Dr. Lopez is one of my favorite professors. She is very passionate about what she is teaching and cares for her students. You take a lot of notes. If you do the study guide questions it would help you with quizzes and test.
very interesting class, and she teaches Russian History so well. Tests are all written, and all outside work is papers. Overall great class that you really have to work hard for a good grade.
Dr. Lopez lectures are very straight forward and easy to follow. Make sure you take lots of notes because all the material will be on the exam. If you do the study guides you should be test ready. She is very passionate about what she does and that motivated me throughout the semester. She is also HILARIOUS!
Amazing lectures but tests were completely Bb with no multiple choice at all and made up of generally three term ids out of about eight opts. Term IDs were a nightmare and to do well you essentially have to write essays instead of short answers for your answers to be specific enough to pass. Also- one essay on test. Don't take her.
She gives so much work so don't take her if you have more than one class. I am currently taking this class and don't even have time to breathe with all her videos, readings and books. It is not hard just so much work that I will probably fail tbh even though I am an A student. Save yourself and take ANY other history class.
I normally would never post about a professor but I've never been overwhelmed with so much material just for a History class. The workload is literally suffocating. I would not recommend unless this is the only class your taking.
This class is not the easiest, but is doable. The professor has high expectations for written tests. She puts a lot of passion into her lectures. Honestly, if you're going to take this professor just pace yourself, especially if it's online. Very doable to get an A if you put effort into the exams and papers.
Dr. Lopez is a fantastic teacher. She literally knows everything about History and is very passionate about it. She makes lectures very interesting and I have learned a lot from her. With that being said, this class is very lecture heavy, and lots of papers. If you put effort in your assignments, you will get a good grade.
Amazing professor she makes class so interesting her exams are easy if you study at least two weeks in advance.
Dr. Lopez is an awesome teacher! Yes, for sure lots of work, need dedication and time to study for exams, but overall if you do the work you can pass with no problems. I would take her again, if I had too!
Really great sitting in her class
professor Lopez does a very great job explaining her lectures, she makes it like a narrative. she provides outlines in bb where you can take to class and fill in the blanks, which is why you should go to class everyday. there are essays in your exams but the questions are not hard, straightforward. study your outlines and you'll pass.
Lopez makes her lectures interesting and engaging! Her notes are printable and all you have to do is follow and fill in the outlines. Tests have essays that require you to have a good understanding of the material. The questions are easy and from the outlines so study! She looks like Julianne Moore tbh. 100% recommend taking her class again.
Gives great lectures, able to understand material , Grades fairly what you give is what you get . Her lecture outlines are helpful , as long as you study and pay attention during lecture you should be fine .
Dr Lopez KNOWS her stuff, so she definitely makes you work for your grade. 3-4 tests that are all written so you really have to know what you are talking about and how it all connects. You can't BS the class, you HAVE to read the books, study the lectures/PP and take good notes or it'll bite you in the end. Great Professor but intense course.
Her lectures are mad interesting. Idk how the classes will go down with COVID but I like her class. Learned a lot.
Dr. Lopez is an awesome professor and I have learned a lot in her class. Of all the three classes I have taken this semester, she is, by far, my favorite! Attendance is a must if you want to pass her class, mostly because 1. attendance is mandatory or she will drop you a full letter grade, and 2. the lectures are crucial for your quizzes and exams.
Enjoyed the class. Lots of reading, studying. Signature assignment was a real challenge.
No other word but amazing. She will more than prepare you for the tests(which are super straightforward) and provide all the information for the 2-3 essays. Its easy dont get alarmed by the word essay! She so great and her lectures are so entertaining. She cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed! I assure you shes the best!
Professor Lopez is amazing!!! She has interesting lectures and really cares about her students! 3 short 4-5 page papers over readings and 3 test over the lectures. Took her for russian hist as well just because of how amazing she is! She also has amazing outlines for her class which help for notes. Take her you will not regret it!!
Super easy to pass, nice and helpful
When I say amazing lectures, its because I mean AMAZING LECTURES! Its honestly a class you cant fail because her tests and assignments are all lecture based. So, super straightforward and going to class is like watching a surprisingly entertaining history movie. Shes the best.
I took her class online and it was very simple. You do have to show up for lectures because she offers outlines that you use to take notes. What was on the outline is what is on the test so you just need to study. She was very nice and funny and responded to emails. There was a signature assignment but it was fairly easy. Would take her again!
She made History fun! Please pay attention to her lectures and take notes!
SHE IS THE BEST!!! A very easy class, she made it interesting she can also be funny at times. So understanding and caring about her students. Show up to class that's how you will pass, the outlines have literary all the answers to the test, just study. The only bad thing was the lockdown browser but you don't need to use the camera. She is amazing
Shes a very awesome professor, her lecturers are amazing makes you like history. Youll definitely learn. I took her fall 2020 got a B+ what she teaches is on test!
I really enjoyed having her, she had a sign in sheet for every single class but majority of her classes are going over the outlines she has posted. Outlines are posted she will tell you whats helpful for exams, as well as provides study guides for exams. Really loved her!
lectures were great and interesting. the tests were done online so you can use your notes on the test but make sure that you study the lecture outlines. overall great class
History 1305 was my favorite course this semester I really loved her personal, teaching style, and the work load was manageable. Study Questions at the end of the Outlines are extremely helpful when taking Exams. We did 3 essays including the Signature Assignment, 5 easy quizzes and 3 Exams.
I usually am terrible with history and remembering any events but Dr. Lopez really made it so much easier for you. All her tests are lecture-based, no need for textbook. Study off the lecture outlines and the study guides and you'll be set for tests! For any papers, she gives you extra videos and guides to make sure you do good. Great professor!
Loved her lectures! All you need to do is show up, take notes, study for the timed(!) tests, and pass. There were a few essays we had to write but they weren't so bad. I really recommend this teacher!
She really wants you to learn and pass your exams/essays/quizzes. She's good at teaching and if you want to do well on your work then go to the lectures. I'm terrible at history but the way she teaches it helps
To be honest, I didnt need the book, all you need to do is really pay attention to her lectures take a lot !!! of notes, her tests are literally straight from her lectures. I just didnt like that I always had to join zoom class and watch her videos because I would get sleepy, but thats just me. Pay attention and youll be fine.
She has to be my favorite professor by far. I almost switched my major to History because of her. Her lectures are so engaging and she's quite down-to-earth straight with the students. She includes outlines of her lessons so it's easy to make notes on them whenever you go to the lecture. She does go a bit fast but will answer any questions.
amazing lecturer,clear PowerPoints,clear outlines.there are 4 exams, 3 papers for those exams, the signature assignment, and very few online assignments.she is very kind and understanding of students' lives outside of class.attendance does matter if you want to keep up with the lectures.there are chances of rewrites of essays and some extra credit.
Professor Lopez is great at what she does and the way she teaches in lectures is very helpful and engaging. You will not get anything on the exams that she did not mention in class, which is great. If I had paid more attention in class I probably would have gotten an A but always make sure to come to the lectures and have the outline pulled out.
Dr. Lopez Attendance was not mandatory but I would definitely recommend going to classes because since you are not using the textbook most of her lecture is what is on the quiz/test/finals which she also keeps it very interesting while she is teaching also participation is a small portion of grade overall refreshing class
Amazing.
she is the best history teacher ever, took her classes 3 semesters straight, lectures are fun and pact full of information, she makes it clear on what you need to know, provides PowerPoints, lecture notes, and study guides on BB. 4 exams, 3 essays, and the signature assignment. sometimes she does discussion board but they are small.
She is by far my favorite professor at UHD. She is understanding and one of the best lecturers ever.
As someone who hates history, I loved this course. She provides outlines for her lectures so as long as you show up to class and write side notes, you should get easy A's on the tests and quizzes. She does give unexpected assignments but they're easy and manageable. She's really funny and makes the lectures understandable for everyone.
As somebody who is not good at history, this class is great. There is not much work, and classes are mostly just lectures. Just show up to class, pay attention, and do the study guides. Exams were worth 75% of your grade, but the exams are not that difficult if you do the study guides. It's an easy pass and can be an easy A if you work for it.
She is a very good teacher; she explains the material well. I am someone who is not fond of history class, but she made the class fun and was easy for me to understand what we were talking about. She provides outlines which is very helpful and exam reviews. I would honestly take her again.
Currently taking her for HIS 1305 and I already enrolled for her HIS 1306. She is really funny, if you pay attention in lectures it is impossible for you to fail. Every lecture has clear outlines that you can download and print out prior to class. You will be doing a good bit of writing but she is extremely helpful and always available. Love her!
bro she a good professor but she did way to much. she assigned exams as well as essays it was crazy. honestly I will not recommend unless you are fine with doing a lot of work. the exams were a high percentage of your grade so if u did bad u have a high chance that u fail. very lecture heavy if u don't go to class u will be so lost on the exams.
10/10 recommend. She provides outlines for her lectures; you can print them before class. Super helpful, print them out! provides study guides for exams too. I enjoyed her class even though history is not my favorite. I would retake her if I could. TAKE HER YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
Professor Lopez has been one of the best professors I have taken, her way of teaching is out of this world by making the lectures sound interesting, enjoyable, and fun to learn about. So, for those students who plan to take Professor Lopez, I hope you all enjoy the class and prepare to study for 3 exams and the final.
Gives study guides and outlines. uses outlines for essays. Studying for this class is a MUST to get high scores. Overall, I really enjoyed this class because she was helpful and knew her stuff.
Professor Lopez is a great lecturer - her clear PowerPoints and outlines make the material very accessible. While the workload is manageable, attendance is key to doing well. Resources like unstuck AI, along with the provided study guides, can make exam prep a breeze.
AMAZING PROFESSOR!! I promise you will not regret taking her. Very humorous and makes the information interesting and engaging. Very easy, gives you all the materials needed to pass.
Worst Professor! Determined to fail you! You don't know where you stand during the semester or what you need to improve on because she posts the grade literally like last month of the semester! I am some who has a learning disability so obviously my essays won't be super perfect. She fails most of my assignments!! Be prepared for massive work load.
I also have a learning disability and she did not take that accounted for when I wrote my papers. I also took another history class outside of this one and had no issues with AI detection with my other teacher but claimed I used AI for the whole paper. She started to grade 2 weeks before grades were due as if that was enough time to fix anything.
Professor Lopez's class is lecture-heavy, but she provides detailed outlines for every lecture on Canvas in case you miss class. Attendance is important—miss 4 and your grade drops a letter. I liked how she lectures like she's telling a story. Be prepared for essays—there are 3 with exams and one for the signature assignment.
Awesome professor took her for History 1305 and 1306. Her lectures are amazing and funny she gives an outline for each new lesson. Outlines help you for her test and there are a few essays but they are easy.
Amazing lectures, really engaging and funny. I was able to learn the material by just attending class and paying attention. Lots of extra credit opportunities. The lecture outlines she provides are extremely helpful for keeping up, but attendance is graded.
