The best history teacher i have ever had!!!!!! she explains everything very well. She is not intrested in dates but just the big picture. As long as you read the book you will do great on the midterms(theres 4). She also offers an essay option instead of the tests. Great teacher really glad i took her class.

This is the best teacher ever! she teaches so well and she shows videos about what your learning which made it easier for me to remember. She gives 4 midterms and she gives you an option to do an essay,with the question posted on her blog a week before or just take the 50 question multiple choice. You could tell she loves history, i highly recomend

She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about history. Unfortunately, she has very high expectations for her students. She expects you to remember everything you've read,and quizzes you almost after every chapter (mind you, she gets very upset if you don't read). There is no study guide for tests and her Final, is a speech.

Professor Ramsey was very clear, passionate and absolute about us as students achieving out goals and she wanted us to make a difference for ourselves. She encouraged us to read the book so we could pass the class. This is common sense anyway because the information was in the book. She is a great teacher who cared if we made it. 10 stars by me! EH

She rarely answer emails and is mean to her students. Her lectures usually leave me more confused about the subject than when I came in. It's better to just stay home and read the book and learn from outside sources. When asked a question, her answers aren't very helpful. To top all of this off, her exams are very tough.

Use terms the terms she teaches and you'll get a better grade, but an A is more or less guaranteed, but not because the class is zero effort.

The problem with this professor is the lack of communication. She posted the wrong Modules and took at least a week to fix them. I am unsure if the material was relevant because I expected to learn something different. I still can not believe we didn't discuss the ERA and Roe v Wade being overturned in a Women's Issues class. Terrible class!

This was a joke. The readings were just bad-quality pictures of textbooks. She basically uses RNG to grade, but it'll be an A if you tried. She posted the wrong class materials & didn't respond to emails from the whole section until students filed a complaint with the Dean. With all due respect, she was just plain lazy & never took responsibility.

Accommodating when mistakes are made, exams are moderate with fair grading. Work flow is smooth and not overwhelming. Great asynchronous class. Not great on email response but gave her cell for quicker response time.

Beware! Save yourself and pick any other professor for history. Never responded to any emails. Started grading assignments the last week of school after being MIA the whole semester. No student ever got a single full score on any assignment. Does not give feedback, so you do not even know what you did wrong.

Where do I start!? She assigned Crash Course YouTube videos as part of the course materials. The only other materials provided ranged from lectures ripped off of other professors, also from YouTube or documentaries, YouTube again. Then you have to write upwards of 3,000 words a week based on YouTube videos. This woman is the laziest professor EVER!

Absolutely impossible to reach via email. Sooo much reading and writing yet never gives any feedback on your work and never gives full scores. The only pro in this class is the extra credit. I don't know how much better she is in person, but if you're taking this class online I'd try your luck with a different professor.

Do the reading and then do the homework and it is not bad. Actually, the discussions are easy. And the exams are open note and open book, so it was great that way.

Dr. Ramsey is an awesome professor. Every assignment is posted online at the start of the semester so it's easy to get ahead. The classes or smooth and usually consist of her lecturing/showing a video. There's a lot of reading but that's how you learn about History. Show up, do the readings, and put a bit of effort in and you'll be fine.

She reads the first assignments only and gives you a grade based on that. For example, if you did well on your first discussion posts and received a 10/10, you will receive a that in all your discussion posts. Same with midterms. All semester I received 88/100, despite putting in extra effort in the last assignments. Do well in the beginning.

She does not give full scores, nor does she give feedback to tell you how you can improve. Definitely recommend doing the one extra credit opportunity she provides at the beginning of the semester because you're going to need it.

Summer Class. Somewhat hard to contact and didn't grade the majority of the work until the last week. Only had discussion posts (10% of grade) and short essays (90% of grade). No final or midterm. Would be rated higher but didn't give anyone above an A- on any of the essays worth 90% of our grade. No feedback to improve either. Not bad, not amazing

This was a summer online course. Not bad at all, usually 2 discussions and 2 long-response questions every 7-10 days. She only really looks at your first 2 assignments and then bases your later grades on those first 2 assignments. Doesn't really answer emails and her syllabus was inaccurate LOL. Overall, really nice professor and easy class!

She grades your week 1 assignments, and then the rest of the assignments are based on those grades, so if you get 90/100 on midterm one, then the rest she just automatically puts 90 without any feedback or explanation. She assigns like 3, 2-hour-long videos per modul,e and each of them has hardly anything to do with the actual topic question.
