Miss Farless is way cool. She definitely tends to stress the political aspect of history (which she'll state up-front during the first class). There are only two tests: a midterm and a final. She says they're hard, but they're not. Take her class!

She is difficult && I wouldn't want to take her again. The person below me said it well, though. Everything is online, so it's easy to "cheat." She has everything timed, however, so it's not quite so simple. My suggestion: take it with a friend. My roommate and I take the quizzes and tests together, which has helped our grade exponentially.

Make sure to keep up with the reading and her lectures and you will be fine.

Her tests were mostly from the text book while the essays were directly from her lectures. Also, essay directions were kind of confusing but going to her office hours helps ALOT!

I took this class over Summer A, and I thought I'd have to do work all summer long, but it wasn't so bad. Her quizzes are difficult but if you search for the terms from the modules and textbook it makes it easier. She does require 4 essays so its time consuming. Overall, I had a high B, but she dropped some quizzes out and I ended up with an A.

Loved taking this class with Prof. Farless! Lots of reading and online lectures available. Decent amount of assignments, but not so much so that the course was ever overwhelming. Prof. Farless was super helpful, quick to answer any questions, and gave great feedback on assignments. Highly highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable and helpful but unless you reach out there will be no interaction between student and professor. It's readings and responding to other students for the entire semester. I struggled to complete objectives and learn each week, felt too solo and needed guidance. Big research project that is majority of grade. Slow grader.

Professor Farless is very positive and encouraging if you do good work, but lots of assignments. There were about 30 assignments for this class and 3 textbooks to read. She gives a 3 day grace period on most of them but you lose points, so I would advise against taking advantage of it too much.

This semester Dr. Farless was a little more tolerant and lenient with me in some aspects. However, two of the textbooks we were supposed to use she didn't even mention in her discussions, readings, or even for use within our final papers or projects. Or and I'm warning you she uses StoryMap for her projects so be prepared for that.
