She is pretty easy for the most part.no real class work but MAKE SURE TO TAKE NOTES.i know her lectures may seem long but take notes..and read the chapter she assgins cause she quizzes you the next day.tests are easy.she gives you reviews.they help alot
she is awesome you don't really need to pay attention just listen to be polite. she gives reviews for her test which practically is the test
nice teacher, if you're nice to her she'll be nice to you. she gives a review and thats the test. i didnt really do her quizes and i still got a good grade. if she assigns a group project just turn sumthing in and its all good.
She is a nice professor and is easy to get along with. Its not a hard exam but the material may seem boring. Take your notes and read the material and you should be fine. You earn what you get so its a fair shake.
Lots of book reading, big group project, Full essay questions on mid term and final, pop quizzes here and there about reading. Research paper worth 1/4 your grade. Have to work in this class but easy on her grading.
This professor expects alot for her class, she gave a group project that consisted of three parts( 50 sources, an outline of presentation, a powerpoint presentation), a book review, a paper, alot of quizes, and you have to make sure you read every chapter so you can pass her quizes. Oh yeah all her tests are short essays questions which are hard!!!
awesome teacher she can really get indepth with her topics and she really does make it fun lol i laugh alot in her class she rocks
She is funny and you dont need the book, although she says you do and read the chapetrs, but you'll be ok. Never did we take a test but the midterm and the final and it was two essays but it was easy cuz she gives you a study guide and its awesome. everything is there. Very laid back and if any problems, just let her know and shes kool.
took this teacher not knowing what to expect since she was knew.once i took her tests they were easy and everything was the same from study guides.this teacher will go out of her way to make sure you pass.make sure to read the chapters.prof is really laid back and loves answering questions.has good sense of humor.1 midtern,1 final essay exam.
Thee PERFECT History teacher! no joke. :]
Seems hard because requires several writing assignments, but she is easy and you do have to read the chapters or at least scan thru them,,Her grading system is AWSOME-I recommend you take her
Great teacher. Made History really interesting....wasn't a fan of it before and she was very clear on subject...take advantage of cred opportunities...and read chapters...and you should get an A
the best history teacher you will ever have. she cares to make sure one passes.
Dr. Blaine is one of the best history teachers ever!! She's nice, funny, and approachable..she's awesome..I learned a lot in her class.. Take her..she's super cool!! -A.M. =)
It is too much work. The work is forced down your throat till you learn it. Although the class is tough the teacher is there to help but will not answer your questions thoroughly she'll probably tell you to look in the book. Relaxed person and will interest you in some nice stories. If you can't handle a lot of work don't take her.
I took Mrs. Blaine for US History 1 & 2. She is very funny, and she makes you learn and take notes. She gives you the guides and gives you all the work that you'll be doing throughout the semester. She grades easily, and you will pass her class. At the end of the semester there is a presentation that will be done, be SURE to keep it going for 15 MI
She's an AWESOME professor, she makes the class very interesting. You really need to read the chapters since it will be discuss throughout the class. Make sure you follow your syllabus, and turn in your writing assignments. You will learn a lot about History! :)
Ms.Blaine is a great professor she give out a complete day to day outline at the start so there is no excuse for not knowing a due date. There is a substantial amount of work but even if its not your best she will be lenient. Take her but be aware.
Dr blaine is awsome. when it comes to work, she doesnt take excuses. she is very nice, her class is very interesting, she is very clear on all the subjects and detailed. take her, but be aware there is a few writing assignments.:D
she was very clear could have been the best if she wouldnt have given us the amount of work she did i got an A but i workd for it she was nice i would take her again
Dr. Blain is a stric professor, but if you do what she says, you will be just fine. She does emphasize on readings to make sure you are learning the material. I also did a group presentation at the end of the semester which wasn't too bad. I thought I was not going to do well because she looked to strict, but I walked out with an A. Don't judge her
Dr. Blaine is a very strict teacher! Her lectures are interesting and her exams are easy and are multiple choice, about 20 questions. She requires alot of reading and she assigns lots of homework assigments like 2pg essays and a 4pg research paper. Basically if you study and turn in all your work you'll pass her class andlearn alot...
Read chapt take notes and listen to monotonous lectures and u my friend have passed the class
I highly recommend her, she was a very good teacher. Just do a good job and the final(It's Easy) and on the Group project and you will pass.
Great teacher! Fun class and interesting discusions.
Dr. Blaie is a great instructor. In her class you are to read every chapter and discuss it the following day. What makes your grade is: A book review=100 points, research paper 100 points and a group presentation= 150. Her midterm and final are fairly easy worth 50 points about 20 questions. Funny, Approachable, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I took the summer class in 2011. This teacher was interesting and humorous. She even gave me an extra chance to make up a part of the group project. Her class isn't easy, but if you do you work, take notes, try your best, and actually READ the textbook, you'll do well.
Great lady, very smart, not too much work just reading and a research paper, if you're not lazy she's a great choice! She should be at Utpa not stc
Dr. Blaine is a great instructor and her class is fairly easy. You just have to read the book, do the research paper, group project, the several 2 page summaries, the final and you will be fine. >>And she is at STC because she is the program chair, she belongs wherever she feels best in order to help ALL students out<<
She is a very nice lady. She wll be strict with readying the assigned paragraphs so be ready to know about them. She assigns really easy assigments. Attend class everyday and you will be fine. I strongly recommend her.
AWESOME!! she teaches you everthing you need to know about history, but make sure you read
She is a great teacher You need the book and there are only 2 exams she does have you write 2 FULL PAGES of the assign reading and she will deduct points if it's not full She follows the syllabus and going to class is mandatory She does have you do 2 projects and they do count a big chunk to your grade but it is essay
I LOVED HER CLASS, SHE IS A SUPER SMART LADY...I LEFT HER CLASS BEING A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WOMAN...I LEARNED SO MUCH STUFF..GO TO CLASS, READ AND U WILL PASS HER CLASS .
Easy class, but you don't want to get on her bad side. She's really old fashioned and takes college seriously. She's also a strict lady who will embarrass you in front of the class if you get her upset. If you ask a simple question about an assignment she will answer rudely. No cell phones allowed or restroom use. Be sure to read and come prepared.
She's a great professor if you do the work. She's really helpful, gives good study guides, and easy exams. However, she has no problem embarrassing you if you haven't done the required reading.You read a chapter before every class and you discuss it next session, she is very enthusiastic and includes everyone. Overall its a very good class.
Initially she is controlling, bossy, treats students like second graders. I personally had a bad experience with her. I don't like to be treated like I am in the military, I resent that. Has no respect for students opinion. I am an adult not a child.
I took her last fall, She's a great teacher but man you have to work for your grade. She's easy but you just need to read her assignments. She hands out articles almost every week or two so be ready to ready and do 2 page summaries. Also read the chapters! She will call on you random and asks what you read. She's a great teacher, learned a lot!
She's a great teacher. Not much work in class but just reading the chapters for class. She's very funny. Opened up the first day of class with a video of NAS. Very enthusiastic and easy teacher.
Opened up the first day of class with a video of NAS. Very enthusiastic and easy teacher.
One of the greatest professors at south Texas college. So inspirational and knowledgeable. I enjoyed her class very much. Not too many assignments
Amazing instructor!! She really knows the material well just show up to class take good notes which are for the study guides to the exams and read them also read the articles she assigns as well because she'll ask what you read and they're part of your assignments I'd take her again!!!
Amazing instructor!!! If you do your best you'll be sure to learn
A very sweethearted kind person she really taught me the true meaning of history by having us all work a lot to not only earn our grades but to learn id take her again
Great instructor!! She's a little tough because she pushes you to learn We'd had to read articles because she'd ask us random questions on what we read book reports, a midterm and final exam and research paper had to be done I learned a lot!!
I would recommend her to any student! She is the sweetest lady if you stay on her good side. Just read what she assigns and you will be fine, and take good notes! Don't hesitate to take her class, she makes it quite interesting with her lectures and she loves it when u engage in conversation. (helps with your final grade)
She's a great teacher you just gotta show up to class everyday prepared you'll be alright as long as you do what she says she'll pass you
Very long lectures, for the most part she sticks to the syllabus. All assignments have to be presented, if you're not into speaking in front of a class I don't recommend. Didn't learn much from her class, requires the book but isn't useful. Takes assignments for more points than the midterm & final exam, so do your assignments!!
Dr. Blaine is truly a gem. She's passionate and that shows in her work. She is such an inspiration. She assigned few assignments that were lengthy, but she made the entire process a lot of fun. I wish all of my professors were exactly like her. I looked forward to this class every single day!
Amazing professor! Not only did she make her class interesting, she has a beautiful personality. She does expect you to read but other than that her class is easy. Recommend her to anybody.
The best professor I ever chose!! She helped us learn so much about the past, just do her assignments, read the chapters and study for her tests the class was good I got an A
I would highly recommend this instructor!! She's very helpful and encouraging I took her for History 1301 and now I have her for 1302 so easy!!! Just come to class everyday and don't try to make any excuses because she won't accept any
If you are someone who just doesnt want to talk in class, then DO NOT GET THIS PROFESSOR. she would also make you read a book and writte a review about it. give you a research, two tests, and two stories to make asummary out of them
Warning! only take her class if you're willing to speak in front of the whole class or get embarassed if you didn't read any chapters there's only two exams and lots of homework to do! Do not choose !
Dr Blaine is one of the most amazing professors I ever had for history!! She's very kind and helpful just show up to class everyday and do her work because she assigns readings and papers and there's only 2 exams! Good luck
Take this class if your willing to read the book through the semester and speak to the class when you get picked oh and also write notes on what you read. If you're really wanting to learn about history take this class because I actually learned due to paying attention :) and the final will be based on random questions on every different powerpoint
Her work isn't hard but if you miss more than TWO classes she'll drop you with a F. Sometimes class is an utter waste of time.
Gives lots of Readings and you need to do an essay after each book, research papers, and book reports. Get ready to present in class
Be ready to read alot!! She makes you do a book review and several other essays.. definently makes you work for it!There is only two short exams, but she does give extra credit opportunities. Dont miss out on class because many of the things she says in lecture are in the test. If you do everything there is no problem with passing.
You will always have to read the latest chapter on the text book assign and might be chosen to explain on what you read from the chapter in class. This means you will always have home work, lots of reading and must always be prepared to explain on what you read. Her grading on assignments is the strictest I experienced along with her class rules.
Very well structured online course. Read the chapters to make your life easier. All tests use Respondus Lockdown Browser with two attempts given each time. The instructor does take a little while to email back and takes even longer to grade your assignments.
Just read! You only take your midterm and final, do less than a handful of short essays (2-3 double spaced) and then one "Long essay" (5 pages), a book review, other than that just read show up with a few notes on the chapter she assigned. She's great.
You have to read the whole chapter, write notes about the chapter, and tell the class something you read/learned. Essays will be presented to the class. The final and midterm are very easy! This class is an easy A if you read the chapters and do your work.
Easy "A" if you do ur work... 8 discussion questions, 7 quizzes multiple choice & easy final multiple choice
Great teacher! Gets the students involved and does an excellent job of explaining. Take her!
Very unorganized! Took this class online and the assignments on blackboard were not the same as the syllabus. I emailed her several times regarding some confusion and never got an email back. Then when she fixed her mistake, she would basically blame the student. Would not take again!
if you aren't into history the class is boring. She expects you to read the chapters before class and will call on people randomly to answer her questions, she does get aggravated when you don't read. One research paper, midterm and final. She reviews before exams, so it's not difficult. She's harsh but she just expects you to put in the effort.
Amazing professor! Such a wonderful woman! So glad I made the choice of selecting her as my teacher. Do the homework and follow her guidelines and it's easy. She gives super specific reviews for the exams. She's willing to help you. GET READY TO READ!
She was amazing such a sweet lady she will take in late work test are super easy only 20 questions
She is an alright teacher would not register for another of her class even if I have no other option. I had her for a mini-mester & she had not replied back to me AT ALL. Her work is not hard, just keep up to date tests every friday's & discussions are due on Wednesday you have to reply to two classmates by Friday & two papers will be required.
Suuuuch an incredible human being. Her classes are always interesting, she always looks the way to implement interesting things in every chapter of the book. A total of 2 exams, a midterm and a final (she gives reviews on both). I had her for HIST 1 and I am currently finishing HIST 2, LOVE HER!
Tried my best to participate and become an active student in her class, but she always diminished and scolded anyone who got an answer wrong or did not participate, so It makes you want to stop trying. Amazing in her field and has great knowledge, but she lacks the patience to be an educator.
Tbh I skipped about 30% of her class and passed with a B+. She isnt hard at all! You have to read chapters and have notes ready for discussion but that is it. You also have a 2 summaries and a research paper! As long as you do those youll pass.
She is the worst online professor of all time. I don't know anything about her physical class but she is completely disorganized online. She'll try to post in work but changes her entire class requirements on the last second. Her discussions aren't easy to find she'll reschedule the tests in a closer deadline and overall not being professional.
Take her class! Super easy! Everybody that took her class received a high A/B you only have one to two discussions per week super easy. One to two quizzes per week only 10 questions no webcam needed and the final consisting of 21 questions. This was the best professor to take to boost your GPA !
Really good class! A quit every week for summer 1 but nothing too hard!
Stay away, she is the most unprofessional professor I have taken, very rude, puts students down when you don't know something, makes you feel dumb if you get something wrong, laughs at you when you say something wrong and even tells you if that you don't know anything then don't talk. doesn't teach makes students read before class and students talk
she is an amazing professor easy class . Read and participated and you will pass her research papers and exams are very easy. Great at lecturing makes her class very interesting this class is an easy A if you follow instructions.
TOTAL DRAGON LADY!! She is a boring teacher, she openly humiliates you in front of class if you get a answer wrong. Not much needed really to succeed in class, but if you can I suggest taking a different professor. Very rude due to her age of being 1,000 years old, she is a bitter old lady. She does not post grades.
Dr. Blaine is a very well organized professor and I would try to convince anyone to take her class.
She is not a good professor at she is really strict about the research paper I was expecting for a B in her class but I ended Up getting an F she arruined my GPA.
More of an English class rather than history class, requires so many research paper she is interesting, but she only wants right answers always assign a chapter readings and expects you to talk about it the next class. requires for you to go u front and talk about certain things tests are the same as the review. YOU NEED TO GET THE TEXTBOOK
She is all over the place, syllabi was 2 years old, never replies to any emails, gives no extra credit and gives last minute assignments with no direction, says there are 10 discussions and there were 12, no link to discussions and then gives zeros if you don't complete the nonexistent assignment. She should not be allowed to teach.
She is super EZ, i dont understand how you would fail this class
Unable to respond to email, not clear in required materials for course causing me to not have online course equipment in time affecting grade. If you are trying to take this class online, RUN AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE. The sheer levels of stress and anxiety alone aren't worth the supposed "convenience" of taking this class online.
Does not have clear outlines as to where the assignments can be found, be prepared to religiously search every folder on Blackboard and pray you don't overlook something because it will hurt you terribly!
requires to read every night and come to class ready to discuses. sit in the front of the class and you wont have to participate as much.
