take her!

Professor Bell is GREAT. Her lectures are fun and presented in the powerpoint format. She is fair about her tests, encourages class participation. Her writing assignments are easy and fun and she is always there to help if you want to learn.

good teacher, fair grader, but tests are kind of hard

While the power point lecture was easy to understand it was also slightly boring. Tests can be a little difficult, but it should be easy to pass if you actually study.

Ms. Bell is very liberal teacher who spends a lot of time in politics rather than history. Surprisingly, she welcomed my views which are predominantly conservative quite well. Her tests are do-able as long as you read the chapters. She grades fairly, is open minded, and entertaining. take her!

Awesome lectures. Wonderful insights and extremeley passionate about subject matter.

Great Teacher, great details and fun facts. TAKE HER !!

Very straightforward class. Powerpoint, lecture. Every once in a while a map quiz or chap quiz that is take home. Not hard, but she is not the most knowledgeable in this area in my opinion

Good Class and very easy. Willing to help you as well

Very hard class, but a fantastic teacher. She is a good person and really is out to help the student, only IF you seek the help. Always ready and willing to help you outside of class time. Knows the material for sure.

Great teacher if into history....Well inform to students...average class testing & quizes....anyone can pass as long as you write down notes during lecture and study it for the test......

I must agree that Prof. Bell picks her favorites. Surprisingly, I was one of her favorites though my political views are conservative. She wastes a lot of time in politics and covers about 6 out of 24 chapters. I recieved a B final grade even though I didn't pick up the book the entire semester.

Bell was very vocal about her "favorite" students. I found her to be fickle. At times she was funny, at other times she was tempermental. She certainly likes to be the Alpha Male.

One of the best teachers I;ve had in college!!

Nice person. Her style is very straight forward and will go on tangents for class discussion. I feel that she could have covered more in the time we had, but what she got to was clear and presented well. A little flighty at times, but a definite recommendation.

Bell is cool teacher.. her classes can be boring if no one participates but i got alot out of it.. i failed hist 202 with wright and earned an A in this class... so kudos to bell

She is very passionate about history and is clear in what political position she sides with. Though there are few assignments, they are all mostly written essays and graded within the 100 point level. If you miss one or two assignments you're pretty much screwed. She isn't very organized and doesn't manage her time well. She's a so-so professor.

Took her online. Did all the reading and participated in online discussion.Failed her class because of a crossword puzzle. Vocab words comprise most of the midterm.

honors class is easier than regular 201. there are NO tests/hw on a daily basis, ONLY essays. the final is a term paper & presentation. used the book once, its better to borrow it from the library. all semester i had A's on essays. i got a C on the term paper cuz i didn't use footnotes. Grade B which is BS but whatever. Easy B, work harder get an A

Professor Bell is a wonderful teacher. I truly hated history before taking this class. She really makes her class Fun! Speak up and sit in the front and she will love you! I took her in the summer, and I wish I had her all semester. She is a great teacher she loves history and teaches it well. YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER!

Bell's History class was not that challenging. I took her for the summer and it was quite easy. Just sit near the front and participate, and she will favor you.

Walked into class a little intimidated of what I read. She's very passionate about history and knows exactly what she's talking about. I was in her honors class and she seemed to be very lax. Take her honors class, it's fun, informative and circle time is awesome. 1 group project, 1 final paper and 2 assignments from the book. Great professor.

Bell is a good History teacher. Class is easy, with lots of interesting discussions and no frivolous assignments. I reccomend!

took honors which is way more fun, less work than regular 201 i think. theres circle time. talk in class. the papers you write make ur grades. final paper/presentation isnt too bad. no tests =) come to class, it'll help ur grade. she'll help u if u ask.

Ms. Bell is a great teacher! I took her HIST 201 class and liked it so much I took HIST 202 with her again. She is very passionate about teaching and is always more than willing to help you when you ask. I liked her style of teaching, she taught history as if she were telling a story. I highly recommend taking Ms. Bell, she is one of the best teach

She knocked my socks off!

She is a good teacher. Interesting lectures she likes you to be involved with the lectures wants you to be engaged. Papers are pretty easy and tests are usually take home and you can find the answers in your notes and the book pretty easily. I've taken her twice and enjoyed both classes.

Ms. Bell is a terrific teacher. She is very nice and she really knows what she is talking about. I highly recommend her as a history teacher.

I LOVED taking her class-- she was so fair and cared about her students. I would totally take her again if I needed history. You need to make an effort to get the grade and the tests can be a challenge sometimes, but the lectures were always worth it.

Great Porf. Tests were multiple choice, but most people failed the 1st because I think some underestimated what it would be like since her lectures are so intriguing. I would still take her again for sure.

Fabulous teacher who clearly LOVES her job. Professor Bell really cares about her students and is very passionate about History. Never a boring day in her classroom because she always keeps things interesting!!!

She is a good teacher. I had a family emergency during the semester and she let me retake a test without any questions asked. Her lectures are interesting, and she interacts really well with her class. Do not text during her class because she will call you out! She has a lot of take home test, and a reflection paper. Super easy.

I'm indifferent about this teacher because she makes you think about history in a different way but the class lacks structure. She moves around to different topics so if you like to chill in the back you're not gonna learn****. So try to keep up because you have to sort of put the pieces of her lecture together. Tests are kinda hard so study.

Ms. Bell is the best teacher I have ever had at Skyline! She is extremely kind and helpful and she's always in a good mode. Her classes are fun, lectures are interesting which makes the class go by quickly. Her tests are mostly take home tests and there is rarely ever homework aside from the occasional reflection paper. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MS BELL!

Bell is a pretty good teacher. Lectures are a bit dry but her assignments get you to make you really care about history. She is a fairly easy grader because she cares that you put an effort into the work. Discussion days are very interactive and fun!

60% of the students in all classes don't pass. Lectures are structureless. Puts up one single slide, turns off the lights and lectures for the entire class time. Bounces between topics- hard to take notes w/o laptop. Barely tells us to read the book - test revolves around it. VERY VERY VERY willing to help.

Bell loves history. She teaches well. She is very helpful. READ TEXTBOOK,

knows what she is teaching. i like her but u have to study and read the material. exms are multiple choice and one reflection paper.

Prof. Bell is great. She puts up 1 or 2 slides, but is animated when teaching. You MUST read the chapters on your own, test questions are based off of the textbook. You MUST take down notes from her lecture. Even if it's random stuff, you'll need those notes for the crossword puzzles. I'm glad I took her class. She cares.

The site won't let me call her what she is but here are examples. She constantly got 'riled up' about colorism yet called indigenous peoples 'Indians' and asked the class to classify the race of a statue based on it's nose and lips

I have to say that I really enjoyed Ms. Bell's class and found it very insightful. She is extremely blunt in her lectures, which may be offensive to some. I enjoyed knowing that she isn't afraid to be politically INcorrect! The only thing is she tends to get off topic, but it's always interesting and encourages knowing how corrupt history is !

Professor Bell was great. she is willing to clarify any questions and is always ready to help her students. Her lectures are fun because she involves the students. She doesn't give much homework but you NEED to read the textbook and take thorough notes to do well in her class. I Learned a lot in her class & would take her again.

I've read that a lot of people don't like her or had to drop her class, but for that was the opposite. She was very encouraging and rarely gave tests. Yes, she goes off topic but ultimately she gives you good info. For the finals you can use all the notes that you've taken in the class.

I've taken four of her classes. For me, I've never needed to read the text book very much. Just pay attention to her lectures and write down notes from her power point.

For this class you'll need to read because she assigns papers that relate to the book. I would recommend renting it or buying it cheap from Amazon if you're not a history major.

Great professor. Very funny, very helpful, and always understanding of issues with your personal life affecting your classes.

really nice woman, truly cares about her students. easy class, we usually ended up talking about social issues instead. didnt learn much and her lectures are very boring. didn't need the book except for 2 assignments so u can just rent the book

One of the best History teachers I've ever had. She not only teaches class about historical events that occurred but historical events in contemporary times as well. Ms. Bell will teach you so much just participate in class.

Literally the best history teacher I have ever taken! She's so funny and makes history easy to understand. I recommend using the library book she provides. Take notes during lecture. Sign-in sheet. 2 homework papers, take home midterm, 3 papers for final. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

She's a nice professor. Only things you have to worry about is chapter reflections that she assigned that's on the syllabus. At the start of class, she does a "daily check-in", which is like current events going on in the world and we talk about them. She lectures for a majority of the class time.

Professor Bell is really nice and cares about her students. She's very funny and quirky at times. I highly recommend her class if you want to take a class that's really chill and easy. Only a few writing assignments and her quizzes are crossword puzzles. Easy A. Her finals aren't cumulative either.

Professor Bell is very nice, I took her for History 109 AA, European History. It is mainly just a lot of lectures, I can think of 3 papers I did the entire semester, and 1 crossword puzzle, that was it for assignments. She knows the subject very well, and cares about all her students. I recommend picking this teacher if you want a nice teacher!

Ms. Bell is a caring and dedicated teacher. She wants he students to pass and succeed; she will work with you in order for you to pass. She grades by very few things, so do the easy assignments and you'll pass. Don't come to her two days before the assignment is due and expect an extension shes not difficult shes fair. Take Ms. Bell for an easy A!

Grades by few things so be careful, only has 2 chapter reflections, 2 crossswords (pretty hard so pay attention in class) a map quiz and the final (no midterm no textbook no homework). ASK FOR HELP IF YOU NEED IT, she is so helpful. Very kind and funny, easy A just do the work, its not a lot.

sign in sheet everyday before class. 2 papers. 1 crossword puzzle. 1 map quiz. 1 exam (final). lectures the entire time but keeps things interesting.

This class was amazing. All you need to do is take decent notes and do the very few assignments she gives you and you'll end up passing with an A.

I took Hist 248 with professor Bell and am currently taking Hist 240 with her. I love her as a teacher. She is honest and caring. If you show up, participate in class discussions and do the few crossword hw assignments she gives, it is an easy A. I find her lectures to be very long but interesting & students are able to engage as much as they want

She is an amazing teacher! She is so relaxed and chill, just work on the assignments that she gives you and show up to class, and you should get a good grade. She is one of the best teachers out there

In class we mostly talk about current events in the world and in the US, but then go straight to lecture . But there isnt that much homework at all. Overall it was 400 points for the semester, with a mini quiz, two discussions, a crossword puzzle, and a final test. If you've taken APUSH in high school, should be a breeze! :D

def an EASY A class. NO EXAMS. I usually just sleep during lectures but I was able to pass her class bc I attended SI Sessions with the instructor in her class and the two discussions were just a reflection of the videos we watched. Although, this class was still interesting because we got to talk about the recent news in every meeting.

She's definitely one of the chillest professers I've ever had here at Skyline. She doesn't give much homework, and when she does, she gives us a good amount of time. She does grade heavily on participation, but that's really just a matter of participating in discussion and taking notes.

Professor Bell's class is engaging yet manageable. Participation and lecture notes are key to success. I found Unstuck AI and the free textbook helpful for study prep. Overall, a rewarding history course.
