Dr. Turner is really nice and very helpful, but this class is A TON of work. A quiz every week plus a 4-page paper, but at least there's no final- very top heavy class. She grades kind of hard but you can rewrite your essays before you turn them in for the final. Took this as a GE and liked it a lot

good course, very interesting, prof is personable and nice if you try in/out of class. she is awesome! super cool final - no exam. class is hard work - you get used to it/learn how to manage your time (4 pg paper and 1 quiz per week), no real work for last 2/3 weeks of class.

good teacher very clear and precise

Professor Turner is awesome! She is so knowledgable and her class teaches you organization skills, time management, helps you be able to understand challenging material, and helps you take the information you learned and apply it to the real world. At first I thought it was going to be too hard, but it's my favorite class and I've learned so much.

Dr. Turner presented a very organized and structured class. Everything is run on D2L and the class runs according to schedule. Readings can be lengthy and pile up so stay on top of things. She uses tons of different presentation techniques which is nice. Do not fall behind or you will be in trouble. Assignments,quizes,exams are all essay based.

I never read a single article for this class and never studied for anything and ended up with B+

There is a LOT of reading in this class, some of it very difficult and lengthy - STAY ON TOP OF IT! I found the course as a whole very interesting. PREPARE FOR THE FINAL (40% of grade!)! You pretty much get the final 2 wks ahead of time - but its hard! Take advantage of that time! I didn't and it dropped me a whole letter grade from an A to a B.

TONS of reading in this class. The amount of material we're expected to keep track of is so far beyond me, and the tests (midterm and final) are ridiculously hard. They are totally open tests; you have to explain your answer for everything. This class was way too much work for a 100 level class. The teacher as a person is very nice and helpful.

There is a ton of assigned reading but I got by not reading it at all! Ended up with a B without cracking the textbook. Really nice teacher and grades papers sooo eaisly. Really reccomend this class to all who want an easy A.

Don't take this class if you're looking for something easy, it's EXTREMELY demanding! There's so much reading that it takes away from how interesting the class could be. Quizzes and online discussions every couple of weeks, a midterm that's 20% of the grade, and a group project/presentation that's 30%. It's doable but way too time-consuming.

Very helpful teacher, always willing to assist in writing a paper, or studying for a quiz. Online quizzes are somewhat difficult, just follow the provided study guides. If you check out her office hours she will greatly assist projects, and in the book report you do. Enjoyed the class!

Good professor. Very helpful outside of class. For those of you taking 192: Don't worry about the grade. Online quizzes, an easy midterm + final, and then a relatively easy final project. Don't buy the books she wants you to - it's only one chapter out of each. Interesting class. She only counted attendance for group projects at end of semester.

The class was a little overwhelming to begin with but eventually got better. She is very, very helpful and clear. She uses D2L a lot and there is also a lot of readings. The quizzes were kind of hard but if you do the readings they are a piece of cake. Class isn't mandatory but it is a good idea to go to the lectures. It's a pretty easy A.

The quizzes are tough but the midterm and final are easy A's. One final group project, not too tough. It's pretty much impossible to get below a B+ in this class. Don't bother buying the books, they are really unnecessary. I paid $30-40 for them and never used them. All information you need to know from them she will talk about in class.

The class was one of the best history classes I have ever taken. Turner knows her stuff and does her best trying to make sure her students understand as well. The only bad thing about the class is that every Tuesday there is a quiz with the i-clickers on the week before lectures. Go to class and you'll get at least a B+. She's a good teacher!

midterm and final are a must study for. alot more on theories than just names and dates. tough for a 100 level class but if you like history than its for you. Alot of reading but you can avoid most of it but its helpful to read them for studying for tests and she likes those dumb iclickers. so you got that going for you

If you listen in lecture and do the reading, you will get an A.

She is one of the most dedicated professionals I ever had the chance of working with.

She is a super nice teacher who will help anyone who asks her for help. Hardest level 100 class I've taken. Quizzes are easy but tests and the final were really hard.

The class isn't bad, but there is no textbook so attendance is vital. She is helpful, but the material is dull. Weekly quizzes that are relatively easy. Her tests are bizarre. One I ace, the next I fail. Also, it is possible that she is the slowest grader of all time. Literally takes like 3 weeks to get scantron tests back to us.

Turner is very slow uploading reading assignments, lecture outlines, grades and feedback on D2L and it is rather frustrating at times. She knowss what shes teaching but if you are struggling with her weekly clicker quizzes or 4 midterms, go to the study sessions every friday. midterms come mostly from quiz questions.

I really liked her and thought she was a great professor... however... very little of our work over the whole semester has been graded and it's a little annoying. Overall though, she's great and I'd recommend her.

Professor Turner is awesome! She's one of my favorite professors at UWEC. Interesting lectures, fair grader, great person... overall you will learn a lot! My one complaint is she takes a long time to grade papers and midterms.

I loved this class. Dr. T, as she likes to be called is very clear and easy to understand. Writing tests are easy because you get to use a page of notes, clicker quizzes are a bit tricky however. Go to class and print of lectures and you'll be fine. VERY interesting class, opened my eyes to a lot of different things going on in the world.

Seeing her in person makes you want to shoot yourself afterwards-- she demands a lot of time from you, so if its time that you can't devote to her she will make sure you feel terrible about it. She can criticize until you cry! Which does not help motivate. I work hard for her to no avail...

Hated this class..Not really about history, seems the focus is more on human rights and ideologies. Tons of reading on random articles and lots of group work. Gets confusing with multiple different groups in the class.

Questions from exams come from clicker quizzes and lecture notes, so make sure you show up on Mon.! Req. readings are online (mostly) and she goes over them in class - material usually shows up on quizzes. She has a bizarre fascination with France, so everything comes back to it. Terrible with feedback/ grades. Very friendly.

Completely surprised by Dr. Turner, did not expect to enjoy this class this much. I am a science person at heart, but Dr. Turner made me regret not having a minor in History. Fantastic teacher who really knows her stuff, and is clearly a great mind. What's more she is good at teaching in addition to being a very knowledgeable person.

This class is a lot of work. She gives you plenty of time for the bigger things like essays because there are other things that need to be done every week. Overall, I've learned so much in this class and we cover several topics. Dr. Turner is a very knowledgeable and passionate professor.

She might not be the most easy grader, but she really wants you to learn and understand the material. She is always willing to help and provides pretty good communication. Would recommend.

Interesting class, but definitely not an easy grade. It's basically a chronology on conflicts throughout history using different models to analyze them. Test question answers can sometimes differ from what the lecture said. Also many test questions are multiple choice'A, B, C, A and C, or All of the above' format. If you work hard you will succeed

Professor Turner cares about her students and is more than willing to help you outside of class. I thought this class would be relatively easy, but it is my hardest one. Her tests are multiple choice and are pretty difficult in my opinion. She gives you a study guide that helps but you definitely need to study a lot.

Turner was a very good professor, her lecture notes are available online, which I felt was very nice. This allowed me to do my homework ahead of time, which increased my participation (clicker questions) grade.

I found Dr. Turner to be someone who really enjoys history and wants you to enjoy it too. I never needed to read the textbook to understand the material or do well on tests, but I find history an easier course. She helps you find primary sources for your final group paper if you are struggling and she really takes the time to help you out.

Very nice and caring Professor. Need help? Just ask and she will guide you. She is not a bad professor, her class material is just a little tough. Lecture readings can get long so do not get behind. You get out what you put into this class.

If you find history to be interesting, this is a good class. There is a lot of reading, but it is very manageable. Tests are easy enough and she makes clear what she expects you to know. Extra credit opportunities are plentiful, take advantage. She gives individualized feedback before you turn in the main project, which is very helpful.

Dr. Turner is very knowledgeable and has been one of my favorite professors to have. You definitely need to pay attention and take thorough notes but she makes it easy to do well in her class.

Dr. Turner is very knowledgable about history and does what she can to help students succeed. However, this was a 100 level course and I've never had to do so much work or spend so much time on a class like this before. I learned a lot, but this class was honestly taught at a 300/400 level.

Professor Turner is a fine professor but the class is awful. Unless you need it or are a history geek dont take it. Lectures are very long and boring. You are assigned 30+ pages of reading weekly. The midterm and final essays arent bad the class is just boring unless you love history.

Dr Turner is a wonderful professor for learning how to do research as a historian. This class is challenging and has two longer papers. She was always available to meet and accommodate time outside of her office hours. Just reach out!! She truly cares about her students and wants all of them to succeed. Grades slowly depending on the class size.
