Her class is 3 papers, quizzes, midterm & final exam. It's mostly multiple choice but sometimes there are short essays. She is clear & very educated but she talks like a textbook so it can be dry. The papers are on 3 historic books so there is a lot of reading involved. Quizzes are from book content. 1 absence allowed. You will do well if you read.

Professor Middleton has a defferent approach to teaching american history. She basically makes you sit through and hour and 15 minutes of powerpoint slides where everyone is rushing to copy down the slides word for word. The three books that we read really could have made this class AML2010. Read the text book study hard and you'll get by.

One of the most helpful professors I have ever encountered. Teaches a very clear class, and did not overload me with homework. Usually sticks to slideshows which isnt the always extremely stimulating, but is always easy to follow along with. As long as you read what she assigns, you will do well in this class.

She gives you the answers for the test the class before, then curves the test 15 points. There are 2 essays to write, and if you stick to the content she assigned and write above a 3rd grade level you should have no problems.

The in-class essays are not graded easily; in fact, she gave me an "F" for the grammar portion of one essay. Really?

Other than her questionable essay grading methods, you can pass with a “B” if you study for the tests.

Professor Middleton is extremely passionate about history. Her class consists of three tests of equal value. Provides you with a study guide (exactly whats on the test.. LITERALLY) and provides the essay prompt ahead of time (Allows one flashcard to write notes on for the essay) Take this class, it's easy and you learn a lot.

She uses Tophat and its pretty much like taking an online class because the textbook, attendance, tests and homework are online. But you still have to come to class for participation credit. overall not a big fan of tophat, but she's nice and gives you study guides exactly like the test, but you'll be doing a lot of the learning yourself.

Nice lady, but her lack of organization, and inability to respond to emails makes this class challenging. The amount of homework that is expected is almost impossible. Each chapter of reading and questions takes over 3-4 hours, all while still going to class and having to work a full time job. I am a responsible 4.0 student btw... RUN AWAY!!!!

Professor Middleton is the sweetest lady I've ever taken in college. Her lectures aren't boring nor does she talk the entire time, they're interactive and students are encouraged to have discussions. You need to do the assignments (which was my downfall), but if you stay on top of the homework, this class will be super easy and really fun

This is by far one of the most confusing and frustrating classes to be apart of. This semester I am taking CHEMISTRY AND SPEECH along with this class and this is the class that gives me the most stress. It like your taking a online class that you still sit in class and listen to her babble all class. Homework is EXCESSIVE . Don't take her

The professor is really nice and passionate with history. If you struggle, talk to her, and she'll understand and do what you can to help you. but unfortunately, the issue is TopHat, Everything from work to attendance is managed by TopHat, not her. You can even skip class and get away with it. The homework load tends to be excessive as well.

An issue with Tophat and codes right on the first day of class. I had to go through so much just to get it fixed, and she never once apologized. Also, she claimed she'd open the grade book after the midterm, but she didn't. We had no idea what we had in the class until the final grade was posted on blackboard. Tried to ask but it wasn't updated.

Yes, there are tophat issues but she's not tophat. Make sure to start ahead of time because she needs time too. Tophat issues aren't her fault. She's kind and patient but she is still new to Tophat. DON'T BUY FROM BOOKSTORE. TOPHAT WEBSITE IS WAY LESS!

By far the worst classes I've taken. She lectures for the whole class and gives a mini quiz at the end of the lecture. She provides 4-7 days to do the homework that takes about 2 hours total. There are only two tests (midterm and final) and a research essay that will make or break your grade. Homework and attendance are mandatory.

I just had middleton for fall 2020 online and the class itself was super easy, she assigned all her work on tophat and the homework itself was super easy. Her lectures usually end before the time class is supposed to end and she's super sweet and will definitely help you out if you reach out to her.

Prof Middleton was awesome! She really is knowledgeable in her subjects and is always available for help! She uses tophat and zoom which at first were weird but better than collab and canvas! It is a little homework heavy, and one paper at the end. 1 midterm, 1 final, awesome class, awesome professor! Would take again

Professor Middleton is honestly such a sweetheart but the use of TopHat is truly an inconvenience. She does none of the grading and everything is mostly graded through TopHat including attendance. The homework on there is heavy duty and can require a lot of time if you don't get it done as soon as it's assigned. Other than that she is very nice.

Just No! Paid for a Textbook only to have limited access to it. She talks the whole entire time from start to end nonstop. Class is boring. She assigns work as if students are only taking her class. 7 page essay dued during the holiday along with 167 questions assignments dued the same week.

1 midterm, 1 paper (gives you a month & 1/2 to do), 1 final exam. Assignments take up 90% of your time in this course but are only worth 30% of grade. Kind of hard to contact outside class and relies on TopHat for communication (but you don't need to really). Homework is very easy to cheat on which is downside. She is older so be patient with her.

I honestly don't know why her rating is low. I was worried for taking her class, I wanted to take an easy history class and this was the only available option. Professor Middleton is very easy going and tells you what's on the test. If someone struggles in her class it's out of pure unintelligence.

Not a bad course, make sure you pay attention and keep up, you need to be in class to answer questions within the lecture. However, Middleton's obvious biases and personal views leech into her teaching; she doesn't provide a good look at things like 20th century politics or the Civil War. One of the least informative history teachers I've taken.

She's nice and her classes are just her lecturing and sometimes we'll have to answer a question on tophat. Her midterm and final are questions from our homework and if you study the study guide she gives you'll do fine. We had 1 paper and she gave us plenty of time to do it. I wish more students were engaged in the class so it broke the tension.

This professor uses tophat where assignments are long but you can get away doing half, you just have to do really well on the paper, midterm and final. There are reading and hw assignments then two discussions questions that can be up to 90 questions total everyweek, sometimes a bunch due within days of each other. Her lectures are long and boring.

This class seems difficult at first, but the online course directs you to the answers, and you can copy and paste directly with no points taken off. The study guide she gives is the exact test you will get, so I suggest doing them and memorizing them. Very easy A if you follow this.

Middleton's class can be a mixed bag, but with the right approach it's manageable. The lectures can be dry, but her study guides are spot-on. Using unstuck study along with the textbook made preparing for exams much easier. Overall, not a bad option for an intro history credit.

She doesn't listen to her students when they speak. She just talks over them and continues lecturing. She is not very aware of what's happening during the class, as well as online. Everything in the class is online through top hat and canvas, despite her not being able to navigate the online systems. Im sure she's a sweet person.
