Overall a really easy class. The only way you won't pass is if you never show up and never do a bit of reading. The books she had us read were really cheap. I didn't show up to class a total of 5 or 6 times probably and still got an A+ on midterm and an A on the final. It's easy! And she's super nice, very well organized & cares about her students

Professor Seekatz is a good professor. I took History 2A with her in the Spring 2016 semester and her lectures are really good . Attendance is important to passing and so is doing the weekly readings outlined in the syllabus. Other things are important such as papers and the exams.

Seekatz is great her lectures are full of interesting information that focus on the course of events rather than boring lists of dates. The things she talks about during her lectures are often funny and punctuated with a slide show that outlines the subject but doesn't hand over any notes. This was a class I looked forward to.

Can be passionate with her lectures. But when I email her nicely in correct polite grammar she replies sarcastically. Such as "I mentioned this plenty of times in class were you not there? Please see this folder in the syllabus" She also tries to act like she fits in with the young group by making silly references that take her off topic.

If English is not your strongest subject you should look for another professor for this course. This course is not lecture heavy however when it comes to grading she grades harder than any English professor I ever had even though this is a history class its more intense than an English class.

I found her class informative, and intriguing! I loved taking her class! As long as you do the readings and attend class you'll be fine. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and I recommend note taking. 10 quizzes with the lowest 5 dropped, 2 papers, a midterm, final, and some extra credit is offered. Everything is based on the readings and lectures.

Her workload is a lot because I'm taking a summer course, but no joke it's honestly 20+ hours like she says. But, she expects you to know everything. Have a question? Don't ask her because you won't get an answer. I thought professors were supposed to help answer your questions but I guess not.

Dr. Seekatz was a wonderful professor and can be a tough grader if you do not stay on top of lectures and will give you a zero if you use AI. But it prepared me for other college classes. Stop complaining about learning this is why we are in college!

She tends to be passive-aggressive rather than open to discussion. Her goal is to prove a point rather than help students learn or succeed. If she's going to offer online courses or assignments, she should be more understanding of the challenges that come with remote learning instead of criticizing students for them.

If you have to take HIST take literally any other professor. She is really unclear with instructions, won't hear you out if you have problems and can't turn in an assignment on time, and is a tough grader that takes points off work for anything. She should get out of teaching.

I'm currently taking Mexican American History online with Professor Seekatz. It's heavy reading but it's interesting, so sit down with a cup of coffee and GET IT DONE!! Seriously if you do the reading you will be fine. I got a C on the recent paper, but her feedback was actually really thoughtful/helpful. Thanks Professor!

Professor Seekatz's mexican history class was one of my favorites. The class was easy and interesting. The workload includes weekly readings, discussion posts, quizzes, a paper, midterm, and final, but you will pass if you keep up. She repeatedly reminds us that she does not accept AI work. Highly recommend her class!

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! She has a doctorate in history and makes it her whole personality. The class is unnecessarily stressful, and instead of encouraging students she often makes them feel worse and less confident. Her approaches seem discouraging rather than supportive. I genuinely would not wish this class on my worst enemy.

Great class! You MUST read and take good notes. Gives plenty of time to understand lessons, being responsible is key. Bad reviews are from people who didn't put in an effort. A.I. is a no go, if she suspects it, she'll meet with you to discuss so you can prove that you didn't use it. Overall, she was very fair and cares about her students education

I nearly passed the class w/ an A+ BUT I def don't recommend. She gives an unnecessary amount of work and is strict. She once gave me a 0 because she thought I used Ai when in reality I didn't. Luckily I had highlighted the quote and work I used to prove it so she let me off. SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS.

My FAVORITE class, that being said, it's not easy. You have to put in the work but all the answers will be found in the materials. Teacher is passionate, grading is a little strict but she gives clear rubrics. Just hit all points and you should receive full credit. I ended with over 100% but she does not give A+ I guess cause I just got an A.
