Worst history teacher I've had yet and I would not recommend taking her class. Failure to provide enough details as to her grading standards. Treats students as if it is still high school.

This class was absolutely horrible. I wouldn't reccoment the istructor to anyone. Save yourself the time and money, take it with a different teacher, anyone but her.

Horrible teacher. She is a very hard grader. When you think you have something right, it gets an F. She doesn't give any notes, she just sits down in a chair and talks. Giving us no time to copy down anything important. and the text book isn't even that helpful because you don't even know what is important and what is not. don't take her!!

This class was awful, she never stays on track, complains constantly and is very hard to follow. I love history and I didn't learn anything in this class at all from this teacher. If you are going to take this class just read your book and tune her out.

She didn't seem to care about anyone but her own stories and life. One of the worse teachers ever. Typical of this school.

Difficult to learn and understand. More reading than can comprehend. We are not robots. Great for someone with a photographic memory.

Do not take her online class. Way too much work for an 8 week class. You use your book like crazy

I procrastinated and had a lot of work at the end of the semester. She let me turn it in late, mostly because I came to her stressed out & crying. Her lectures were only about what we were learning half of the time, and the other half was about politics. She cancelled class a lot due to being sick. I barely learned anything from her or her class.

Her lectures are boring and she uses no emotion when talking . When she lectures she just talks and doesn't engage you AT ALL. Her test are almost impossible to pass if you don't study. I overall hated going to this class.

This teacher is one of the hardest teachers Ive ever had. She is so hard to follow if you want to learn history just read your textbook and listen to nothing she has to say. At the end of 4 chapters you have a test with no notes or textbook and are required to remember the material.

This is an entry-level course. There were two videos that are an hour long each week. You have to write papers over these. They are not on the tests. You read on your own the book and do a Learning Curve Quiz and turn this in. The tests do not cover direct information in the book. No discussion on Blackboard at all. Totally on your own.

Very unorganized and unprofessional. Constantly changing assignment requirements after it's assigned. All of the reading and online homework are done outside of class, class is literally just for her to talk. And she'll drop you if you miss two classes. Tests are not reflective of textbook and homework material.

It's never clear what this teacher expects from students. Can't even follow directions and be correct. She will upload assignments and the night before due date email an announcement changing the assignment. 2 video assignments due each week, over 20 questions & a 300 word essay, if you write 299 words, you don't get credit for any of it.

McGovern lectures are very hard to follow. She gives you TOO much information you need to know for the test and quizzes. 2-4 chapters are tested all at once. She goes into detail about every single thing. There is either Film assignments that have a 300 or more word essay due with it or a learning curve. Would not recommend.

I only gave her a one because a zero was not an option. I wish I had read all the terrible reviews for this professor before signing up for her class. Very threatening language used in her emails and she is not timely at all in grading your homework. I would not recommend her unless you enjoy being belittled through email.

By far the worst, this teacher had no patience and she hardly gave room for the students to ask questions in class. Her course work is difficult as well. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone honestly.

This professor is entirely inadequate. I have never experienced an online class so disorganized. I would not recommend taking her course.

I SERIOUSLY don't recommend her hybrid class if you want a decent grade. It's awful, she barely prepares us for anything, there's a quiz every week which people don't do well, waaay too much homework, and everything she sends out is just confusing because she spams the crud out of your email and her announcements, so nothing makes sense. Do not do.

The professor was very strict showing absolutely no sympathy, graded very specifically, was very hypocritical, gave poor instructions, and was overall not a professor I would wish to ever have again. The professor is well known amongst the students for being very difficult and a professor they wish to not have.

Insane amount of textbook readings and homework, but it was never seen on the tests. The lectures were all over the place because the professor was never prepared for class. They put zero effort into the class and expected us to put in 100%. Professor was late to class almost everyday and took half the class to talk about random things.

I would not recommend taking this class, She thinks she's giving lectures at Harvard. A lot of homework and tests. Her lectures consist of her rambling about random topics and never about anything on the tests and is a very hard grader. If you don't write exactly what she wants to see she gives you an F.

16wk online course, but weekly assignments feel like 8wk course. This teacher is overly critical, even trying to deduct points for stuff like how you write or spell or organize documents and tries to get you on technicalities. Not very concise or reasonable in expectations. Picking this teacher is in my top 5 all time biggest regrets

She is easily the worst teacher I have ever had. I mean she would go on for 30 minutes out of our 50 minute class about the most random stuff. All she did was lecture but never let us write down notes. Overall the class felt very unfair. Her grading also felt very biased. If we didn't write it exactly how she would write it automatically point off.

Would NOT recommend this class to anyone. She goes off on many random tangents and almost never lectures, she would be late for class and cancel probably more than actually holding class. Claims everyone is plagiarizing, and doesn't give any real feedback, I've had assignments from the begging of the semester that have still yet to be graded.

Very strict with things. Always watching YouTube Videos.

Very large tests covering several units at once, hard to remember multiple months worth of information in full detail. Requests a lot of detail when answering test questions. Would prefer more frequent but smaller tests when the relevant information is fresh in mind.

Her tests quiz you over the smallest details ever. Good luck studying.

Worst class I have ever taken. She would go on tangents about things that had nothing to do with what we were talking about in class. The homework assignment were old photographs of news paper clippings that were extremely hard to read. The tests were super long and half of the questions were stuff we never went over. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!!

Do not take a class with her, I was lucky enough to steer away two friends from having her the following semester I had her. It was the hardest class I have ever taken not because of the subject because of the teacher. So much readings and homeworks, which the homeworks were pictures of old newspapers with tiny font which made it impossible read.

Always ill-prepared, we spent the first 20 minutes of class waiting for her to get prepared. She would be absent or tardy for class without informing. She would also expect us to stay late on multiple occasions. She had no care for anyone's time. The lecture was so difficult to follow, that it would not go linearly and go off on pointless tangents.

assignments are very confusing and the information you need is in a bunch of different places instead of all in one place. due dates are also incorrect. you have to find those in many different places as well. she's not real clear about assignments. not very good with communications with help. she won't make clear what you don't understand. .

DO NOT take a class by this professor! The textbook was 80 pages a chapter. Gives PPs that are 20 pages and outlines that are 10 each week. Told students many times that she "wants to spend the weekend with her husband & won't answer emails or messages." Spams with class emails. Would be better for everyone if she did weekly test for each chapter.

Do not take this class with this teacher. She is not prepared and is very distracted. She often talks too much about her personal life other than class material. Her exams are very hard and detailed. If you don't study you will fail. If you apply yourself and study hard, you will pass.

Incredibly unorganized, she talked about her husband the entire time and spammed Canvas to make announcements daily. Graded late, you don't get feedback, yet expected to improve on discussion boards?!?!? Take legit any other professor.

Yaps way too much. Doesn't help with anything

By far the worst professor I've had. This is an online course,she makes a ton of announcements last minute changing things & when you ask for clarification she's rude with her responses. Doesn't actually teach anything in her online course. Exams have crazy detailed questions that aren't relevant to any of the material that you study. It's so bad.

Sloppy course and always late to class. Be ready to study!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!!! Terribly managed course and made test extremely hard and the powerpoint don't help be ready to write note because if you don't you will not pass. I utterly express again to save your gpa don't take her class. Sloppy class structure, just in general don't take this I'm saving you from a bad grade!!!!!!!!!

Please run and withdraw while you can. The professor told us we were always behind when we weren't. She assigned 10-20 assignments a week. She will belittle you when you try asking a question in person or through email. The only good thing she did was change the grading scale for the test so we could pass.

She talks the whole period and does not use any powerpoints. For our class, the homework was like 5 chapters ahead of what she was teaching us in class. The tests were all multiple choice but still difficult.

Her lectures are extremely disorganized and hard to follow. She dives deep into tangents and side stories and glosses over the important parts, resulting in all classes being significantly behind. Assigns busywork and pointless group projects that waste our time. Test are multiple choice (mostly) but cover things that arent even important

Online course. Almost every assignment was not graded for 4 weeks +. Her announcements constantly contradicted assignment instructions. She said you must use feedback from prev assignment for the next or you get points deducted. This is impossible because the next thing was due before you got feedback/grade. Test questions often did not make sense.

She grades obnoxiously and it takes forever to receive a grade. She did not have our grades available for us to see until the end of the semester. She talks the entire class every single class and goes over time every single time. She sends passive aggressive announcements out and you cannot even get a hold of her. I absolutely do not recommend!

There is not enough space to describe how awful this class is! She goes on side tangents a lot, to the point where we were more than 5 chapters ahead in homework. Tests don't make much sense and are rarely over stuff in the book, just over stuff she thought she went over in class but forgot. She also has many errors in her tests! Grades awful!

horrible horrible horrible, do not take this class with her. she is very rude and is lacks human empathy. the class itself should be easy you would think. she makes it more difficult then it should be. gave me a zero because she refused to open my assignment.. do not take this class with her seriously

We did Cengage homework from the textbook, with a unit due every week. But she rambled during every lecture, wasting time re-stating the obvious. So we would test on the early frontier, with the homework from last night being about the Great Depression. So I never did well on the tests because the homework going over the unit was due last month.

I was an online student having to do group projects. Wouldn't get back to me via emails for at least 4 days (sometimes 10). There was a test over every four chapters (big chapters) and they asked very niche questions. Overall, the assignments weren't hard, however the tests were close to impossible. Wouldn't recommend.

She was late every day, disrespectful towards students, and her teaching was very jumbled, hard to follow. I already struggled with history and this made it worse. Assigns group projects but doesn't actually take and notice to the surveys she forces you to do. I rated a group member low and then were the only person who moved to my second grouping

Very difficult to work with, trailed off a lot

bad teacher

Not good at staying on track for lectures. Spent a month and a half on one chapter and EVERYBODY failed. Wouldn't give us things to study and just told us to read the textbook.

Terrible teacher. The only way to pass the class is to write down every word that she says in her HR lecture and study all of it because she doesn't tell you what you need to know for tests. Only advice given for tests is "read the book" and study the book? Zero guidance for what needs to be studied for the tests, and EVERYBODY failed it.

Do NOT take this class. She is super unorganized, late to every class, doesn't stay on track for lectures, doesn't provide study guides or an outline, doesn't post due dates, and is incredibly insensitive. One of the worst classes I've ever taken. The lectures are super confusing and do not go in order.

terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Her class structure is the most disorganized class I have ever been apart of. When she uses the book she never gives out page numbers and expects us to just memorize everything by heart. She also is really condescending for some reason. I would dread absolutely every day.

The most unorganized awful teacher if that I've ever had in my life she was so bad we are waiting for her to arrive and it's the FINAL how are we not on time to our own final don't take save the money and time also test never relate
