She's real cool, easy to talk to and understand. Tests are right off of notes and you can have a couple absences.

If you have to take history at texas state she is the best to take. You don't have to memorize very much for the tests and she is very straight forward with what you need to know. However because it is writing intensive it is hard to make an A. She is a very smart lady and expects a lot from her students' writing.

really long lectures... lots of random information, but you can use most of it in her essays

Very easy. Her lectures are prompt and go right along with her powerpoints; as long as you copy down everything on her powerpoints and use the study guide she gives for the tests (which tells you everything you need to know), you should have no problem in her class. :)

She gives us a good review that offers questions from each chapter at least a week before the test. She also gives us the essay question on that review so we can outline it before the test. The review sessions that are offered are also very helpful; we go over the whole review which helps a lot.

She is a very clear lecturer, and uses power point, so note taking is precise. She offers an interesting account of past government dealings. She gives a study guide a week in advance that has EVERYTHING that is on the test. The only way to do poorly is by not trying at all. I am easily making an A with moderate effort. Take her!!

if you like history, your fine, if your a History Major than you will like her. You have to read the book and make some flash cards but she gives you a review! so your good. the BAD thing is the TAs grade the essay's and you could give the same essay to 2 diff. TA's and one give you an A and the other give you a C. NOT a hist. person-dnt take her

she's a pretty good teacher but the tas grade your essays and they are terrible. if you go to si sessions, you'll pass.

had her for 1310 and 1320 -- not by choice. in 1310 i made a B ... mostly because i didn't know what to expect from the first test. if you listen and go to class (which is mandatory) you should make an a. she DOES NOT curve grades.

Good professor. Class average was a 58 because the class is stupid and did not read like Dr. Montgomery said they should. TA grades the exams, but they grade them from *her* answer sheet. Dr. Montgomery is easier than 80% of the other History professors, I guarantee it!

she was a little boring but she knew her stuff nad made the tests pretty easy...she gave you excatly what the essay would be over and the TA's graded it... i would reccomend her i have tyaken some crappy hard hist classes here and hers is do-able if you go nad just put little effort into it... do it!

You will need the book for reviews but if you know someone else in the class only one of you need it. Start the additional reading early. Make sure you get to know your ta's and get them to read you eassay before the test. Lot of stuff on test in little time. You definitely have to work hard in this class but its do-able.

She is a wonderful teacher! She gives you all the test information at the beginning of the semester so its easy to know what to study. She also tells you exactly what the essay topics will be so there is no surprise. Really enjoyable class, easy A if you have half a brain.

Great teacher! One of the better history ones. Gives very detailed study guides and no surprises on test. If you study a whole lot, it wont be a problem. Have to read a book and write an in class essay over it whch was alittle harder but had study guide for it. Takes attendance. Good teacher. Take her if you can. And do not read book! Waste of time

I really enjoyed this class. If you have a good background in American History and want to learn something you haven't heard before, take her. Pay attention in class and take lots of notes. Essays come straight from the notes, but you have to understand because the topics are somewhat difficult. Terms are easy if you write down what she gives you.

She's a goofy little teacher, but she's not all that bad. She posts the study guides at the beginning of the semester, so you know exactly what is on the tests. The worst trouble you will have is if you get a tough grader. I recommend studying and going to the SI sessions and you should do fine!

I have to hand it to her. she did give you the review for the test as well as the essay prompt but the review was very hard to complete. other than that if u pay attention, take notes, and attend classes shouldnt be to bad

Montgomery was an extremely nice teacher. She put up power points during class and you copied them down for notes. Honestly if you paid attention in class and studied for the class then you will make a B. History is not a class to slack off in. The tests are hard if you don't study.

I thought this professor was really interesting, helpful, willing to answer questions, & the class was a good pace. Your grade really depends on how your TA grades, they are grad students, so they are hard graders (harder than the prof's in my opinion). You do have to study or you won't do well, but she was a great professor

Go to class everyday and take decent notes and you can easily make a B. 2 papers worth 5% each and weekly written assignments. You must attend class in order to succeed. Do the study guides thoroughly (using notes and the text) and youll get an A. Very fair test grader. Expects more out of the papers though.

HIST 3368G This professor has a vast knowledge of the subject which made the class very enjoyable. She was very helpful. Overall, I learned so much in this class that I use now in other classes. As an education major myself I would highly recommend this class to other education majors.

Took her for the very basic history class. It was challenging! Her tests are very lecture based. Make sure you always show up to lectures as she gives key-terms through them that are used word-for-word on tests and only available in class. I had a difficult grader (grad-student)so I made a low A.

Loved Dr. Montgomery! Very funny teacher and loves history. I wish that she would use powerpoint, because if you missed class you were deeply screwed. Her tests take some time to prepare for, but only 1 essay and a few IDS are required.

Dr Montgomery is a great history professor! All history professors at txstate demand a lot from you,but if you go to class and take notes and do the hw online you will do okay! She actually stays on schedule which is not common in history professors!

If history isint your thing, take her! She makes it easy to listen to her (dont take morning class) Her test are multiple choice, short answer and essay. She gives you 2 key terms every lecture and they will be on the test. i have taken other hisory professor and she is by far the best!

I had to retake this class and i am glad its with her this time. attendence is mandatory, she offerst the online extracredit connect. 3 test and one in-class essay. Still very easy class as long as you go and take notes about what she says during lectures

GREAT professor! Anyone who has trouble in this class probably a) doesn't attend b) doesn't prepare for tests. She literally gives you the exact essay a week before the test, and gives you 10 key terms, 8 of which will be short answer test questions. Go to class, prepare for the test and you'll get an A

Montgomery herself is a solid professor who I very much liked, however in a large class she has her TA's grade your papers if you are a non-history major. Whatever grade they give you, stays. Personally felt like I was shafted when it came to grading as I did study heavily and know what I was talking about. Bummer she didn't grade them.

When coming into this class I was excited, she ruined History for me. Attended every class and still made a low B. The IA's are very tough on it, and sometimes are confusing. The class was not about the history you expect to learn, which was pointless and very boring. Dry sense of humor and pretty rude about electronics. Overall class wasn't great

Not a terrible class, but I thought she graded too much on some things and not enough on others. Helpful if you need help. Would recommend.

Dr. Montgomery is a pretty good professor. Her lectures are great, though on the surface she seems a bit dry. But when you pay attention you can see her humor, and passion for history. She's also extremely helpful in office hours. She gives a review with the exact essay question before every test, so doing well is very possible.

She was extremely clear about what was on the test, and even made study guides!

Dr. Montgomery is a great professor. Very different from history teachers I had in the past but, in a positive way. Her tests consist of multiple choice (comes from online quizzes exactly), short answer questions (from lecture) and one essay (question is the exact one from the review). She is very helpful in office hours.

She is an awesome professor! Attendance is mandatory because the notes that she provides for us are SO helpful on tests. Every class, she goes over "Key Terms" that will always be on the test. She makes lectures less boring (coming from a person who isn't fond of history) and is pretty clear about what will be on the tests.

She mostly just does long lectures every class. Attendance is a must or your grade will suffer. The TAs take attendance every day. The SIs were super helpful and had lots of study sessions. There were 3 tests. 2 were short answer, multiple choice, and an essay topic. The other test was an essay test. I recommend taking this class.

She is a great history professor, she knows her stuff and takes an interesting social perspective on the subject rather than learning dates and useless material that will leave your brain once the semesters over she gives interesting take on the matter. You do need to go to class and take notes, she does not post power points online.

Dr. Montgomery is amazing! Easy A or B. She really cares for her students and wants everyone to succeed. Exams are multiple, short answer, and 1 essay. Gives review and theyre exactly like the exam. Except some questions are from the launchpad. Mostly all exams are based by key terms. No powerpoints online but gives time to write everything down.

Dr. Montgomery is amazing! I never thought I would like History until I took her 1320 class. Her exams aren't that bad as long as you study everything on the study guide. She's very sweet and is willing to review your exam if you feel that your grader wasn't fair. Definitely taking her again!

She is a great professor. Everything you need to know is in her lectures (so don't miss class.) She gives great study guides for the tests and tells you the essay topics before hand. Study tip: write out the essay before hand and you can email it to her and she will look it over and give you feedback.

Montgomery is a sweet lady and her class is very doable, tests and few homework assignments arent hard, but the teacher assistants are the ones grading and they grade so harsh. Id recommend going to their office hours often so theyll go easy on you. Would hand out Cs on things that deserved at least a B if not an A

You can tell she is so passionate about what she is teaching. Attendance is mandatory, so starting on your 4th absence, she drops a letter grade. The tests are 10 multiple choice, literally just from the online quizzes, 5 short answer, from the key-points she gives us, and a short essay, which she gives you the prompt beforehand.

I really liked her teaching style. She teaches from powerpoints but she also talks to listen to what she's saying as well and your notes will be much better. she doesn't put anything online so go to class. she's a social historian, so everything she teaches is from that perspective which makes it a lot more interesting and she's hilarious.

I really enjoy this class and that there are no surprises when it comes to what is expected each week. I find her lectures enjoyable, people saying that they're boring probably just don't appreciate history... This class is very easy

took her for a higher level class with a smaller amount of students and really enjoyed it. assigns good readings for the topic and her study guides are very clear/straightforward. lectures can be long and monotone, but assigned discussions are very interesting. a little tough when grading assigned papers
