She talks really fast. You need to take notes on what she says, not just the powerpoint. her test questions come straight from what she says. You have to do map quizzes & ch. quizzes which are an easy 100. . Just go to norton study space and the answers are there. so basically 20% map quizzes & 15% ch quizzes. Just do well on her tests.

Dr. Hamilton is a great teacher and I would definitely recommend her to anyone taking History 1010. She's extremely helpful if you go to her office hours and the study guide is clear-cut for the exam. She loves essay questions so prepare for that! If you go to the review sessions you'll do fine.

easy map quizzes, chapter quizzes can be found online. test is strictly lecture notes. attendance is mandatory, she will deduct point for missing class. but tests are easy if you take notes. just record the lecture and you will be golden. you don't need to buy the textbook

Dr. Hamilton is the best history teacher! Map quizzes and online chapter quizzes are an easy 100 for 35% of your grade. The tests are only difficult if you doze off during lecture and don't study. Listen in class, take good notes, and you'll make an A for sure. Don't buy textbook. She tells you to read it but it's definitely unnecessary.

Dr. Hamilton is by far my favorite History teacher. She makes the material interesting, engages students, and really works to help your grade in any way she can if you show her good work ethic. I learned so much from her! She also gives super easy quiz grades and drops your lowest scores to help improve your grade.

I loved having her! She is interested in the subject so she always tries to make her lectures interesting. Map quizzes are easy and the answers to reading quizzes are all online. She gives you study guides that tell you EXACTLY what is on the test. Just go to class and pay attention if you want to do well.

She gives you many opportunities to do well in the class. Tests are only over lectures and online quizzes are the same as practice quizzes on the textbook website.

Awesome class. Would take again!

I really enjoyed her lectures!! She gets really into her material, and you can tell much she enjoys history. I would definitely take her again (and probably will for World History II).

She has a passion for history & uou can tell by her lectures. This is not an easy A. You have to actually attend class to do well. Her powerpoints are all pictures so you have to take actual notes. Her tests are hard; you don't memorize facts, but understand the terms and related them to the big idea. You have to analyze images and quotes on tests.

Dr. Hamilton makes history interesting and easy to follow. Her lectures are just slides with pictures, so expect to take notes. Also, she posts the notes online, but they don't make much sense unless you heard her explain them. Overall, the class is super easy: 3 tests (including final), some very easy online chapter quizzes, and map quizzes.

Dr. Hamilton is nice and helpful if you go into her office hours. Her lectures are long and can get boring but if you take good notes then you can make a good study guide with the one she provides before each test and the test is pretty much the study guide. Pretty easy tests, but pretty boring.

If you're struggling in her class, or you know you will struggle, go to her. She will do everything to help if you if you show responsibility and initiative to go to her to get help. She has a lot of quizzes but they really do help bring up your grade. I would definitely recommend taking her.

Dr. Hamilton really loves what she does and it shows! Although her lectures are very long, and you must take many many notes, she makes it easy to be involved and enjoy what she is telling you! If you go into her office hours and show that you have been working hard, I'm sure shell cut you some slack. Easy class if you put your effort in!!

Lectures are clear and easy to follow, puts all of her lecture powerpoints up, attendance not mandatory. Her geography quizzes are a joke, you should be about to get an easy A on all of them if you know basic geography. Make sure you do the reading quizzes, there are quite of few of them but all the answers are in the textbook.

Great Professor. She's very kind, and if you attend class and stay awake the tests are fairly easy. Lots of reading quizzes online. Chapters in book are long. Quizzes are fairly easy. She is a super sweet lady who is there if you need her.

My favorite professor at Auburn. She makes history, a subject I dislike, my favorite class of the week. She gives easy map quizzes and canvas quizzes that you use the book for to boost your grade, and is the most helpful teacher I've ever had. She's very passionate about what she does, and loves all of her students. Hope I can take her again!

she is the easiest hist prof I've taken (took bohanna for 1), 28% of grade is from easy quizzes that anyone can make 100 on. 2 tests and non-cumm. final. The only bad things is history is boring and she makes being a liberal sound good (even if she says she's not). if you have any study ethic at all you good. People failing don't show up to class.

I took World History 2 with Dr. Hamilton, and I absolutely loved this course! Her lectures are very interesting, and her tests aren't bad. Map quizzes and chapter quizzes will help boost your grade. Tests come straight from lecture, so you don't have to read the text unless you need help clarifying something.

Took her for HIST1020, I highly recommend her. Even if you are not interested in history she gives very good lectures and makes them very interesting. The exams are not super easy but if you study for them they should not be an issue. Map tests and chapter quizzes cushion your grade if you had a slip up and she even drops two of your lowest quizes

Prof. Hamilton is very nice and interesting. She gave many easy A assignments to help boost your grade (albeit they counted for only 40%). Three tests non cumulative including the final. Does NOT scale/curve. ATTENDANCE IS A MUST. SHE WILL GIVE BONUS POINTS AT THE END IF YOU HAVE NO ABSENCES AND WEREN'T DISRUPTIVE. Made a low B because of one test.

The best history teacher I've ever had. She teaches history like it's a story and doesn't make you memorize any dates or events. Her tests will be impossible if you try and memorize stuff. Just understand what the causes and effects for everything are and go to her office hours or the si sessions and it will be an easy A.

Dr. Hamilton is my favorite professor at Auburn. she really cares about her students, and she bumps your grade up if you go to class. she also gives easy grades to help your grade, and drops the worst two grades for map quizzes and reading quizzes. her tests can be tricky but if you study hard and look over the test review you can get a good grade.

Dr. Hamilton is an excellent lecturer. She teaches history in a very interesting way, connecting a lot of events that you usually would never find a connection between. She gives a lot of grade boosting quizzes but be prepared for her tests because they aren't just memorization. Take good notes and be prepared to critically think on tests.

If you can't write at lightning speed, you're in trouble. She talks quickly, the entire time, and expects you to remember every word she said. Study guides are not indicative of the actual test. She's lively, and easy to listen to, I'll give her that. Tests are multiple choice, there's extra credit but it's time-consuming. A couple movies too.

Dr. Hamilton is one of my favorite professors at Auburn! I suggest going to office hours if you are struggling. She will really work with you to help you get the grade you want. Take good notes, but don't focus on the facts; she likes to ask application and concept questions.

Dr. Hamilton is my favorite and best professors so far. She made history lectures interesting and gives you all the information you need for the test during lecture. Just read over the notes a few times and know key terms. Map and reading quizzes are a HUGE grade boost. GO TO OFFICE HOUR because she really will give you all the help you need.

She is the best history professor ever!!! I love her lecture so much!!! If you go to her and ask question, you can get a good grade :)

OK. This woman is likely the most wonderful professor on the face of the Earth. I've never been interested in History, but her lectures changed that. You can be majoring in anything, but you will be interested in what she says. She's always extremely helpful seems to really enjoy what she does. Take this class. Now.

This teacher changed my life on a personal level in a 200 person class. Her lectures are unique and intriguing which means if you don't go to class, you won't pass because the information can't be found in the book. With that being said, for the first time I was excited and looked forward to her lectures everyday. Very helpful in office hours too

Dr. Hamilton is s great professor. She really wants you to do well, and if you go to her office hours, she is very nice and very helpful. Definitely go to class. Her lectures are interesting and made me more interested in the subject.

You know how in most history classes, you're reviewing the exact same material that you've learned since middle school and throughout high school? This class is nothing like that. I learn everyday, and she's even managed to turn my boyfriend (who absolutely hated history) into an active participant. She's really lively too. Pls take her.

Dr. Hamilton has made me consider changing my major to history. Her lectures are captivating to say the least. That being said, if you don't show up for them, you will fail the tests. She is a wonderful woman and a joy to listen to. Very knowledgeable and very helpful. Take her class.

She loves history with all her heart and sometimes it gets annoying, but she makes it interesting. Just pay attention, review notes, it's an easy A. And she isn't bad to look at either ;)

Professor Hamilton really wants each student to do well. If you attend almost all of the classes she will bump your grade by a few points. She gives a study guide, If you go to her office hours she is very willing to help! Great teacher who cares.

Had Dr. Hamilton for World History 2. Very good lecturer, helps you understand how everything ties together. Online reading quizzes (open-book) and in-class map quizzes make for lots of easy points. Tests are all multiple choice but make you think and can be challenging. Will round up grades and help you out if you have a good attendance record.

Dr. Hamilton was great! I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures. She gives extra credit at the end of the semester for attendance. Tests are multiple choice, but are not super easy. Textbook is only necessary for online chapter quizzes.

Great teacher. Teaches above and beyond what is taught by typical high school teachers. Easy to talk to. All multiple choice tests.

Dr. Hamilton is an incredible teacher! I never had an interest for history until I took her class. Her lectures are interesting and somewhat of an enjoyment. Do well on all the reading quizzes and map quizzes, they help your grade if you bomb one test

Dr. Hamilton is not only very invested in her students but also in the subjects she teaches which makes going to class much more enjoyable. Class participation is important, but she is very willing to work with students who don't like talking in class. I would recommend her to any major, and will definitely take her again if I get the chance!

She doesn't ask students to memorize names or dates. Dr. Hamilton focuses on connections and influences between events. Attendance isn't mandatory, but there is a bonus for showing up. The only reading that was necessary was for chapter quizzes that can be done in 30-60 minutes each if you just read as you take it. I recommend her for engineers.

I've always hated history my entire life. That being said, I enjoyed this class. fast paced, so take notes/type fast. Gives key terms and questions for every lecture, know these and you are golden for the test. Not tested on dates, looking at topics as a whole. 3 Tests dictate your grade, however, there are easy quizzes to cushion your grade.

An outstanding history professor, she was an absolute joy to have and she works to make the class interesting and involved, rather than just sitting around listening to lectures everyday.

Dr. Hamilton was GREAT! I wen't to her office hours a lot and she bumped my grade way more than i deserved. She's really smart but never too smart when she's explaining it. She understands we don't know everything and explains it best to us. She's very caring and her tests weren't detail specific. She likes for you to understand why things happened

Prof. Hamilton is the bomb. So nice and helpful. Expects good work, but is willing to help in and outside of class.

Dr. Hamilton's class was the best I had ever taken. She looks for hard work and effort, but she gives good feedback and is always willing to help out. She was extremely accessible outside class. She has been one of my favorite professors at Auburn, and I would recommend her class to anyone!

This is a role playing class where you get a character from history and you must play as that character. You are required to give short speeches in class. Very interesting material and I learned a lot more in this class than in any other history class. NO FINAL!

Hamilton was awesome! Certainly not the typical bland, straight-lecture type class you normally get with World History. Focused on fewer historical events, but covered them very extensively; I learned so much. Have to be willing to speak and participate in class to do well, and there's a few small writing assignments for each unit. No tests!

I'm not a history person at all, and I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Hamilton is extremely helpful inside and outside of class and is always willing to help.

Dr. Hamilton is really nice and wants her students to succeed in history. She's a pretty tough grader when it comes to the games we play, and you really have to participate in order to make a good grade. Don't take her if you don't like to talk. Overall, she's pretty good, but her class is very unorthodox.

Dr. Hamilton is probably the best lecturer at Auburn University. She never focuses on names or dates, but rather how historical events have affected the world today. She expects good work, and heavily rewards those who focus on the material.

Dr. Hamilton is one of the best professors I've ever had! She is so patient and explains things thoroughly and kindly. Her class is based on role-play, not tests, which allows for greater learning. You have to do the readings so that you know your stuff. This class is so fun and Dr Hamilton really challenges you to think critically. 12/10 recommend

Dr. Hamilton is an AMAZING professor!! I was advised to not take honors History unless I was very into history and I am so glad I went against that advice! This class is so so interesting and is one of the few classes I am actually excited to go to. TAKE THIS CLASS!

Most of your time in class is spent playing historic games. It is a bunch of in class speaking and cooperation. Some of the grades come from papers, but she is very good about giving corrections.

To quote Lady Gaga, Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show-stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before. Her class was fantastic and completely different from any other class Ive ever taken! The historical games are so engaging and fun. Take it over a regular core history any time.

Dr. Sarah Hamilton is a goddess among children, a saint amongst sinners, and a Rihanna in a world of Taylor Swifts. This is absolutely the best class I have taken and it is such a unique way to learn the history of the world. I highly, highly recommend taking any class you can with Dr. Hamilton. I would take calculus from her and I hate math.

Dr. Hamilton is a blessing. An inspiration. An icon. An angel in disguise. She is the best professor I've had at Auburn. The Reacting to the Past games make you really learn why the history happened the way it did and not just what happened. Also no exams.

Dr. Hamilton is absolutely amazing. Wonderful teacher. Truly cares about her students and has a passion for what she does. I'm not a history person at all but I thoroughly enjoyed her class. You have to work for your grade and a lot of it involves participating/talking in class. Be ready to put in effort, but Hamilton is very willing to help.

Dr. Hamilton is the best history teacher I have ever had. The reenacting games that we play in class are a lot of fun and encourage participation (from even the most quiet people). She makes lectures entertaining and informative, and is always available to answer questions and give advice. I highly recommend her and her honors world history class.

Professor Hamilton is my favorite professor I have had at Auburn, and I really love this class. It is completely different than any other class I've taken. I would recommend this class to anyone. It is the class I look forward to everyday!

Professor Hamilton is an icon of our times. Even though she was pregnant and gave birth during my semester she still maintained a great connection with our class and was always available. I had the Reacting to the Past course so get ready to do outside readings, writings and come prepared to class. 10/10 would recommend. It's hard work but worth it

It definitely requires outside work, as you have a real character identity from a historical event, in which you must research extensively. If you've got time, and want to have an AMAZING college history experience, do it!!! Dr. Hamilton is Passionate, engaging, caring, and invested in the course material. best Auburn teacher you are going to find!

Prof. Hamilton is so sweet and really cares about her students. There are no tests, but rather 3 role-playing games, which require a lot of work, but are very fun. Attendance is very important since most of your grade is participation. She is very accessible outside of class and genuinely wants you to succeed. Great professor and even better person

Dr. Hamilton is the best professor and best class I have ever taken. She has made history fun again. She really enjoys what she is teaching, the interactive classes are enormously fun and she really cares about her students. I would 100000% recommend taking her class. Be prepared to interact but in a fun and challenging way

She is literally the nicest professor I have ever had. She is super fair and instead of having exams, she plays games that you get grades for. I am an engineer and have never loved history more!

Dr. Hamilton is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is passionate about what she teaches and understands it thoroughly. She cares about whether or not students understand the material. It's important to come to class because it is game based and you need to participate, but grading is easy. SHE IS SO NICE and accommodating.

Dr. Hamilton is one of the best professors in Auburn. She made my core class enjoyable and really cares about the class and the students. If you take any class with her you will be in good shape.

She's pretty understanding of time restraints and is willing to help in most cases. The class is super fun and she doesn't give busy work without purpose. You have to speak out and participate in class to do well, but it's not a hard class.

Dr. Hamilton is a GREAT history teacher! I have always hated history, but her class has kept me completely engaged to the point where I am enjoying a history class. Her grading criteria is super fair and she's always willing to meet with you over any question or concern. Take her class, you won't regret it.

This Reacting to the Past class was the highlight of my semester, not only because it was incredibly engaging, but also because Dr. Hamilton made it feel like we weren't really in class. The class had incredibly intense assignments, but it never felt like work. If you have the chance to take this class, do yourself a favor and enroll. She's great.

Dr. Hamilton turns the subject that I thought could only be taught via monotonous lectures into a nuanced look of the colliding ideologies surrounding major world events. In a class that is so heavily focused on student participation, her magnetic voice captures the attention of students in a way that I thought was only theoretically possible.

Best professor ever. I absolutely loved her. It's not your average history class. Instead, you have role-playing games where you "react to the past" by representing a character during a specific point in history (like King Louis in the French Revolution). Make sure you know your role/arguments well enough to debate and you'll get an A.

Alright, Dr. Hamilton is fr the best. Participation is key in this class, so attendance is important. The whole class is a combination of three simulations which seem questionable at first, but are really super interesting and honestly fun. I can count on one hand the number of days where we've had legit lectures in this class. Hamilton's a 12/10.

100% best professor I've ever had! she's so sweet and funny and you get a lot out of her

Being that I am not a sustainability major I was worried about this class. But, Dr. Hamilton has done everything in her power to make sure everyone understand the information given in lectures. She is so kind and caring and is quick to email and reach out to you when she thinks you might need help. She really and truly cares about her students.

She rubbed me the wrong way at first but then when I got to know her she was extremely kind and fun. She gave us study guides and would make sure we were really prepared for the test. She is kind of a know it all and very opinionated but overall she is good professor. She has a gift for teaching.

I wasnt excited about it because saving the earth wasnt really my thing. But it ended up being interesting. Dont take this class unless you can get Hamilton the other professors suck. This class takes little effort but not much to get a b. 45 points of extra credit, bring grade up by 4%. Attendance is mandatory and you can lose a lot of points

Dr. Hamilton is the best. By far the best history class I've ever taken, and the most I've ever learned in a history class ever. If you're super terrified of public speaking, she's more than willing to work with you to give you a role to more suit your skill set. The only real issue I have is that she thinks M&Ms are better than Reese's Pieces.

Dr. Hamiltons class involves role-playing characters from historical eras. There are very few lectures but the class feels fun and she is always available to talk to in person or on Slack. If you like working with other people and hate tests and can write well, shes a great professor.

Dr. Hamilton simply one of the best. I had her for honors sustainability fall 2020 & despite the covid zoom mess she still made class interesting. She is passionate about her work, flexible, and really cares about her students. Soft deadlines and will cut you some slack when needed.

Dr. Hamilton is a great professor. I had never taken a sustainability class before and was not sure if I would enjoy it, but she made the class informational and eye-opening. She is extremely understanding, and If you pay attention in class and complete the assignments you will get an A.

Dr. Hamilton is the best! She is super funny and makes the course very enjoyable. The best professor I have had at Auburn and genuinely cares about her students. Work is not excessive and she grades very fair. If you have any questions she is super responsive and understanding too! Especially with covid she was incredibly considerate
