Great teacher. Good lectures, but be ready to take notes quickly. Tests are somewhat hard. She makes history interesting - tells about things that happened behind the scenes.

She is an awesome teacher. I had her for both History I and II. Take her she makes it fun and thats the only way to pass a History class!!!

Great professor! I love her teaching style. Her lectures are so interesting. If you're gonna take this class...WRITE QUICKLY! Her tests are a little hard, but there is always lots of extra credit opportunities! Study your maps and turn cell phones off during tests!

She is an easy teacher. He tests were kinda hard 'cause I rarely studied, but she gives alot of extra credit for charity work, since I walk alot, and my grandpa does too, I got tons of 5+ bonus points. I made like c's on the tests, but the extra credit got me an A, no joke, she is the easiest one

The only way I could get through her lectures is with a dictation recorder because she talks so fast. She also includes things on her tests that can be easily missed in lectures. She's funny and swears a lot during lectures.

She's a great professor and bit hard and notes tend to be gone through fast but if you come to class everyday and do the extra credit work then there should be no reason not to do great in her class

She was an interesting prof. I rarely skipped her class bc she always had funny stories to tell. Her tests are pretty hard and you have to really study all notes. Also, you need to read between the lines when she's talking to help you later on. I signed up for her again this semester bc she is so awesome!

easy. interesting professor. unlike anyone i've seen. keeps you awake

This professor is one of the most fun I've ever had. I didn't even buy a book and i got a 97% without using any of the easy and abundant extra credit she offers. She supplies lecture notes online. Spend an hour to an hour and a half studying for her test and the are really easy. Attendance isn't mandatory but attending the class is enjoyable.

Good teacher. All the notes are online. She gives study guides before every test and the final! Try to make history exciting!

I had her for Hist 1301 and took her for 1302 because she was so awesome. She makes class interesting and is really funny! Her tests are a little hard but she is available for help if you need it and she gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. Great teacher, really understanding. Definitely take her!!!

She is very entertaining, cusses alot and is loud so you stay awake. Lots of extra credit. Test are kinda hard, gotta study. Over all i enjoyed this class and would definatly choose her again. ...BUT dont take this class if you are easily offended she likes to pick on people, i think its funny.

Loved this teacher! If you enjoy history, read your book and attend class, you will do fine. Her tests are a little hard...so study. This will be one of the most entertaining classes you will ever take.

Great teacher!! The most interesting history class I have ever had. You learn a lot. She is funny and very entertaining. She loves America and is a Daughter of the Revolution, she's very proud of her country! The test are a little difficult, but just pay attention and you will do great!

she was great. tests are hard but if you go to class and do the review you will be fine. she is a very fun teacher, lots of extra credit and will help you. take her!

Okay to sum up professor bostelmann ... She curses like a sailor, is highly sarcastic and funny, the best teacher you will ever have. She is so much fun and her lectures are so easy to pay attention to. Attendance isn't mandatory but you'll want to go. You have to do these history cards but they're easy to get 100's on if you attempt. Great Prof.

Well...she is very abnormal, but her test is very straight forward. And the map tests are the simplest things in the world. Her view on things are just halarious, very fun class to go to. If you need a History class she is the one to go to on the spring creek campus. No complaints, unless you cant handle the random factor of her.

great teacher!!

This is one professor that keeps your attention for the full hour. She makes colonial America hilarious. Highly reccomended.

She's a really funny and interesting teacher, but her tests are very hard and the reviews for them are very long.

VERY FUNNY TEACHER!!!! the test were hard but if you did the review it helped, no doubt. SHE'S GREAT AND IF YOU'RE ABLE TO STUDY FOR AN HOUR OR SO ON TESTS THEN TAKE HER!!

Prof Bostelmann is great! She loves history! She's a great storyteller and really helps you understand what happened and why. She's also very funny; you won't be bored in her class. In spite of her gruff manner, she is quite helpful if you have a question. The tests are difficult, but she gives extra credit. It was a pleasure to take her class!

Best teacher ever.I took hist 1301 and 1302 just because of her.She is a great story teller and makes you scream for more.I got an A on both her classes.Her jokes are hilarious

She is tons of fun, really interactive with the students, and explains everything clearly

WOW! Professor Bostelmann is wild, aside from her crazy style of teaching she really does cover a lot of material. She is very fun but her test you HAVE TO STUDY!!! if you study for test and do notecard you should pull a B at the least.

She is a great professor! She is very funny, outgoing, and easy to talk to. Like everyone else said before me, her tests are difficult, but as long as you review yourself enough you will do well. She has map tests too which are super easy as long as you study for them. The final one is just knowing all 50 states- how easy is that?!

Professor Bostelmann is fantastic. I wasn't interested in History but she is completely entertaining and makes class fun. Provides ample extra credit opp. 4 Tests, final not comprehensive, & map tests make up your grade. Like any class you need to work to get a good grade however you are a moron if you don't get at least a C in her class.

amazing prof. fun, pull-no-punches personality made history fun! SO wish i had taken her in 1301. plenty of opportunities for extra credit.

This Professor was amazing. She was funny and outgoing. I took her in maymester, and her lectures were like watching a movie for four hours. I wish I would have gotten the chance to take her in 1302. She claims her tests were hard, and a lot of people failed them, but I got A's on all of them. All I did was look at the review and go throug my notes

I just love her. She is so funny and laid back but REALLY knows her stuff. I have absolutely no interest in history but she makes it as interesting as it can get. Tests are hard, but you really learn a lot. She may come across harsh sometimes but it's just her humor. Very fun class.

She is the best teacher I have had at Collin College. She makes the class fun, and she knows what she is talking about. The tests are easy if you study, and the map tests are easy also. I RECOMMEND EVERYONE TO TAKE MRS. BOSTELMANN! :)

easy class and fun

She is a great professor! The class was great and I got an A in her 1301 and 1302. Do the note cards and take notes and you will do Well!

If you attend Professor Bostelmann's lectures, take decent notes, and complete the extra reading (less than 30 minutes per test), you'll get an A or a B. Extra credit assignments are available also. The best part is this is one class you'll WANT to attend. Don't be late...she starts ON TIME.

Always kept class intersting and was a huge part to doing weel in the class

Just took this prof. Don't know what that other guy is talking about. If you study, and you have to study, you will do fine. Very clear power points given online. Good choice.

Mrs. Bostelmann is an excellent professor. Her lectures go according to the power points. And let's face it, 25 points of EVERY test is a map test. You really have to try hard to fail with that. Lots of extra credit. Good prof.

SUPER FUNNY & NICE! Tons of chances for extra credit. DO THE REVIEW & extra credit readings. They're pretty much always on the test. You can just look up most of the readings online. I took Hist1301&1302 with her. Didnt even buy a book for 1302 & but still got an A! Just listen/pay attention to her & you'll be fine.

She was a great/funny teacher! I was always awake in that class. It was never boring. She gives you the powerpoint handouts online. SO when you're in class you just have to add in extra notes. Be sure to read the pages she gives you. Will help if you need it, very relax and chill. TAKE HER!

Not a terrible professor. Her lack of organization skills bothered me quite a bit, but got used to it. Powerpoint notes are available online, but they're such a waste of paper. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you should go, or else nothing will make sense. Starts class right on time, every time.

She takes some getting used to, but she is an entertaining professor. You will HAVE to attend class and add your notes to her handouts. She does not ask dates but does ask names that are given in class only. Map tests are part of each exam. We did get the opportunity for a make-up exam and there are extra credit assignment. Take her!

Hilarious and awesome, but difficult. Her tests are brutal, but she provides every bit of info. you need to pass. You just have to really study. She's so enthusiastic about history, which is helpful. Definitely recommend, but be prepared.

I love Professor Bostelmann! She has a great deal of passion for history and it shows. She has a wonderful sense of humor and keeps her class interested. Test are a bit of a challenge but if you study, strongly suggest, you will be fine. This includes her map test. She gives mulitpile opportunities for extra credit. TAKE HER!

Great professor. Look at the power points , the study guide and you have at least a B. Lots of extra credit.. Don't let that guy fool you. She is a great teacher.

Anyone saying they don't like her, obviously wasn't paying attention AT ALL in her class. She gives an outline of her notes rather than full powerpoints. This is so you can fill in the things that will be on the exam. If you don't want to listen to her talk, don't take her. She is a wonderful professor. She tells it like a long story! TAKE HER!!!!!

i loved having mrs. bostelmann as a teacher. she goes through all the material on the test at a good pace and answers your questions clearly if you ever have any. she always speaks her mind and is very honest, which was one thing i liked about her. show up late regularly, it will make her mad. nuff said.

She was an amazing teacher! Keeps the class interesting, if you do your work you will get an A, SUPERB teaching style. I would definately take her again

One of my favorite professors! Made class interesting, and the workload was doable. Offers alot of extra credit. Do your work and you get an A, simple as that. I would definately take her again.

Ms.Bostelman is a great teacher.Every test is outlined and on the blackboard. The map tests are not torture. They're 25% of your test grade and they go over the same countries over and over again. She's a lot of fun. Take her.

LOVE this woman! She's super funny & makes the class bearable. You don't really need the book so don't waste your money! She has a bunch of extra credit opportunities for the tests, 25 points of the test come from simple maps. I 100% recommend her.

Mrs. Bostelmann is easily the best professor I've ever had. If you pay attention in class and do extra credit you will get at a least a B in her class. One of the funniest teachers ever. Took her for history 1 and now history 2

I though Mrs. Bostelmann was an excellent teacher. She gives LOTS of extra credit, especially in History 1302. I was able to get 30 points of extra credit and you can add it to any test you want. She makes the class very interesting. Take her class!

She gives all of the homework at the beginning of the course and offers a lot of extra credit. She makes lectures interesting and is funny.

I'm currently taking her class, but her test are hard! You need to know geography too she will test you on it. Her study guides are not that helpful, is nothing like the test. She is very funny.

The best professor I've ever had. She's so funny & off topic half of the time, but really knows her stuff. There's 4 map tests & 4 written tests, roughly 60 questions multiple choice w some matching & she combines the two. The final is just like a regular test, over test 4 material. All of her study guides and powerpoints on blackboard. TAKE HER!

This woman is hysterical. She loves history and makes you love it too. Her tests are tough, but you had a lot of extra credit. Love her!

She was awesome! Her class was fun to take, and awesome to be a part of. She puts people on the spot sometimes, but it's her way of making the class fun. If you show up late, she will keep an eye out for you. She works on a group practice test before tests to help people study for tests. Would totally recommend her!

Lots of extra credit. Really great teacher, but tough. Knows her stuff and makes it interesting. Will take for HIST 1301. Take her. Definitely worth it.

Mrs. Bostelman was a great teacher. She give lots of extra credit, has review sessions , really funny. Will take her for 1302.

she knows her material and it's sooo easy for the class to understand

I took Professor Bostelmann my very first semester at Collin and she was by far my favorite teacher! She's hilarious and makes memorizing historical events easy. Test questions come directly form the reviews, so pay attention. Also be ready to take some map tests (which were super easier and account for some of your test grade.)

She is absolutely hilarious, fun, very organized, and willing to help anybody that asks! She is sarcastic, but if you know how to handle it well and not whine about it, then you'll be fine. Said that we needed the book, but collin ended up giving me the WRONG textbook, so I never used the textbook and still passed with a B.

I really enjoyed this class. I would take from her again.

Great teacher! made an A without trying. Lots of extra credit opportunities on each test. Lots of help too. I will take her for History 1302!

Loved this class. Already signed up for History 1302 in the fall. Really funny. Lots of extra credit.

Ms. Bostlemann is a great teacher . She gives lots of extra credit and is really funny. Will take her for History 1302.

She is absolutely incredible. You can tell she is really passionate about what she is teaching and she makes it so interesting, even if youre like me and history isnt your thing. She has a great sense of humor and we all had lots of laughs. I took the class at 8 am and even though im not a morning person, I had no issue getting up for her class.

I took History 1301 over the summer. She has a loud and funny personality. She made learning the information fun. Only grades were 4 tests (the final was not cumulative) & 5 easy notecards. She provides scantrons and notecards for $0.35 a piece. She tells info in class not provided on online powerpoints that are on tests.

She is hilarious, teaches you to have tougher skin, makes history really easy to learn/even enjoyable. BUT if you do not test well, do not take this class. Her tests are very hard to prepare for. She does offer to meet outside of class if you need it! Overall she is a great professor! DO ALL OF THE EXTRA CREDIT!!!!

She is an amazing teacher. Gives lots of extra credit and her test are easy. Will take her for HIST 1302.

Had a great experience with Mrs. Bostelmann. Her stuff is online, gives loads of extra credit. Her tests are not easy, but you are taking a college class. I am taking her for HIST 1301.

What a great prof! Loved listening to her talk about history. Really knows her stuff. Great sense of humor!

Alright, professor Bostelmanns class feels just like High School again. The only hw you will get are five note cards which are due every week. If you take good notes from the power points, you will be ready for the exams because the information is all there. Does not need a book to pass the class. The professor is hilarious and ready likes history

Loved taking Ms. Bostelman! Took her for both HIST 1301 and 1302. Makes historyfun. Take her!

Professor Bostelmann offers a lot of extra credit, which helps you if you don't study for your tests. Attendance is not mandatory, but you wouldn't want to miss her class because she motivates you to learn. She offers 4 tests, 5 notecards, and the extra credit she offers. If you miss one of her tests, she lets you make it up.

This is a teacher that will keep you awake. Not only does she keep her lectures lively, she puts her own insight on history so you can understand it better. During the summer session she gives plenty of extra credit. Tests are easy if you study. And this is all coming from a guy who sucked at history in high school.

Great history professor! She makes learning history fun and entertaining. Great story teller and makes you remember key events. The tests aren't an easy A but if you pay attention in class and study before tests you'll earn an A.

She was amazing, hilarious, and was so much fun to listen during lectures. Provides many chances for extra credit. Splits tests into two parts to get better grades. If you do the notecards, it's an easy A.

Mrs. Bostelmann is great. A bit rough around the edges for some but overall great. Makes lectures interesting and shows how passionate she about history. Its not a hard class to pass. Make sure you read what she says because they will be used in test. Gives many chances to receive extra credit. I am taking again. You should too.

Love Professor Bostelmann! she's so funny and really engages he students in her teaching! She gives students many opportunities to raise their grades with extra credit and two part tests! She also is very active on canvas which helps tremendously! Highly recommend taking her!

Professor Bostelmann has my utmost respect. She is such a phenomenal professor with the initiative and passion to help others learn and navigate history in an interesting way with a critical lens. She is extremely detailed in her lectures and helps the student understand the material that will be covered on the test. Just ask about her chickens!

Mrs. Bostleman is a great teacher, full of anecdotes and information. Gives lots of extra credit. Will take her for 1302.

After a 6 year break from school I took this 7AM class hoping for a passing grade! This professor worked with my schedule to accommodate a sunburn that put me out of class for a week. Her lectures are amazing and she gives MAP Tests worth 25% of each test and Study Guides that will align directly to the test. Incredibly supportive! 10 out of 10!

i mean where do i start?? what a refreshing class to have at 8 o clock in the morning!!! I always look forward to this class.. shes funny, explains everything well, you need to be present in the class for 2 reasons 1. to keep her happy 2. to pass the tests, the tests are not hard if you study for them.

I took her for History 1302, hands down the best History Professor I had. Easy A. Im so glad I took her class.

One of the best classes I have taken so far. The lectures are interesting and informative. You will have to read outside of class but it's not difficult. There is lots of extra credit that will help with your grade. The final was not cumulative, Great teacher and great class overall.

All in all, a great prof. This was a crazy semester, but she made it easy. Take her.

She is very reasonable and offers lots of extra credit to bump your grade up. Text book may need for the assignments. Take her when you have chance!!!
