Great professor, but goes through notes verty quickly and tests are somewhat difficult. Lots of all of the above on tests.

great lecturer, although quite fast. makes topics interesting. medium workload and medium hard tests. best class i had all semester.

Her papers are graded easy if you write all the information she asks for. I am no good at papers and I got a 98 on one of them and a 74 on another. This class is very interesting if you like history. I loved it.I only went to class on test days the second half of the semester and still did well!

Very easy teacher, her exams she gives you a study guide for and picks questions directly off if it. Not much is expected, it's easy.

Good lecturer, 210 is a relatively easy class too. Only complaints are that she was very unorganized and sometimes unclear on the expectations for assignments.

She's very open to helping anyone with any questions - however, she talks VERY fast and you take a LOT of notes in this class. It's very interesting, but you have to write fast!!

Really interesting and engaging, and I like her use of other media (like pictures and videos.) If you use the study guide you'll ace the test. Extremely unorganized, but fun anyway.

she grades things werid. i think she makes a lot of stuff up on the spot. she tries to seem more educated and intelligent than she really is

Kinda confusing, but very easy class. I thought this class was going to be incredibly boring but I actually look forward to going to her lectures. Make sure to do the study guide and you'll be fine.

I actually love going to this class everyday

great class, shes an intersting lady and makes you laugh. the tests are easy if you spend time on the study guides. the papers are a pain, but its easy to get a good grade in this class! take it!!!

Very knowledgable about all kinds of topics. Gives you interesting facts that apply to everyday life and is very down to earth. Respects her students and is always willing to assist. The class is very interesting and could not do without all of the interesting things she gives you. The things she teaches you should know and the class is very useful

Great class, interesting lectures, easy tests if you follow study guides, just don't ever talk while she is talking...

Professor Ducksworth is easily the most intelligent person I have ever met in my life. Her knowledge of African American and military history is incredible. Her tests are fairly easy if you follow the study guide, she offers a lot of extra credit, and the lecture are very interesting. I definitly recomend this class!

Interesting professor. Really knows her stuff. Lectures move fast. take lots of notes. lots of assigned readings most of which you don't have to do. answer study guide questions because exam questions are taken directly from it. lots of extra credit. papers take some thought just answer all the questions and you'll do fine. highly recommended!!

An easy class that requires little work. You will hear "hint hint study guide" about 10,000 times each class period, that can get really frusterating. But otherwise, she's a good teacher. Very opionated, and strong willed.

I found her African American History class very interesting and I had not found it very interesting before I took her class. The class itself wasn't too hard. By listening to her lectures you should be fine on the tests.

In all honesty you don't have to come to class ever. All of her lectures are put on d2l. The few times that I did attend class her lectures were very interesting and it seemed like she knew what she was talking about. Just make sure you do the study guide before the exams and the class is an easy A

I really thought this was the most interesting class I had. You don't really need to go to class but the lectures and videos are really interesting. I recommend this class, great experience and you learn a lot.

Great teacher, actually a story teller that compliments the readings for the course. You'll read a lot and you will watch quite a few movies. If you are into the topic, you will love the class.

Very easy class. I slept through all the movies and never paid attention in class and got an A. Just do the study guide and u will get over 100 on every test. Dont buy any of the books they are a waste of money and you never use them.

She can be difficult to take notes with. She is very passionate and knowledgeable with this material.

Take VERY good notes - if she says something more than once, obviously it's important! She also "hints" at what will be on finals, so it's not that hard to be prepared with the test material! I skimmed most of the readings, and listened attentively in class, and have gotten Bs and As on my papers and quizzes. She's a genius!

I really liked this class, I learned a lot and it made me think. Don't read the big textbook, but read all the articles and other books. She's pretty disorganized and doesn't always make it clear what you are supposed to look for in the readings, but she or her TA's will help you if you need it. Write fast for notes! She is anything but boring...

I enjoyed Dr. D's class for the most part. You better write fast for notes but her tests are not very hard once you get used to them. She likes all of the above answers very much. She does not always explain what she is looking for with stuff super clearly but her TA's will help a LOT. Dont read the big book just the articles and small books.

The class was interesting, and the professor was very helpful, but she was the MOST unorganized professor I've ever had. She changed the due dates of most assignments multiple times. The TA's grade all of your papers, and I got a D on one because my margins were too big. Give me a break. Answer 'all of the above' for mostly everything...

Very interesting class and she is extremely knowledgable. She gets annoying stopping videos in class, but other than that she is great.

Interesting class. Very knowledgeable. Take detailed notes, even if they're not on the powerpoint. Get used to hearing HINT HINT (although it helps a lot)

This was a fun class. I am not a history major and it was a lot of work but I really enjoyed it. There are some big papers and a presentation, but it is worth it. There are also real-life battling scenarios which were super fun. It is not a lecture class, it is a discussion. So do the readings. Duckswork is really helpful, but kinda unorganized.

Ducksworth is awesome. Keeps class interesting and tests are super easy if you go to class.

She is an outstanding lecturer. If you have any interest in world history at all, you'll enjoy going to class. As many people have said, she is very unorganized, but I don't think that it impacts one's ability to get a good grade in her class. Her quizzes and tests are very easy. Requires two papers, but they're also pretty easy. Take her.

Very interesting professor! She lectures the whole hour but you dont actually have to take a lot of notes because she gives a study guide with a list of questions before each quiz and test. Take her if you can..easy A!

Very laid back teacher. I went to this class once out of three times a week and I got an A. She only tests on what she lectures, and if you are ever in doubt on a quiz or exam pick 'all of the above' as your answer. It is a rather easy A

So easy, I was worried about the tests because she is not very organized (we study a new time period almost every class!) but virtually all of the answers are "all of the above" or so obvious a toddler could get them correct. Check your grades! One time on a 20 point test she gave me a 20% when I got them all correct. Very nice and understanding.

Great professor. Knows everything about history and is very interesting to listen to. I learned a lot about history and I usually hate history. Take her class for an easy A and if you actually want to learn something!

I have taken Professor Ducksworth-Lawton for two classes now. She is very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. She makes history fascinating and always puts things in perspective. However, her lectures are all over the place and don't seem to follow any logical order. Lots of reading. Quiz and test questions are ambiguous.

She can be kind of intimidating when you first meet her but she is actually pretty nice.

She seems very intimidating at first, but she is awesome! Be sure to always attend class, for you get about 75% of the information that is going to be on the quizzes from her lectures. Also, a very easy grader. Got A's on all my papers. She gives a lot of reading, though. Overall, I would definitely recommend her!

Lectures are interesting. She jumps around a bit with the lecture topics, so notes aren't very organized. The quizzes were difficult, and I would recommend going over the readings a couple times. Papers are straight forward. If you do the study guides for the tests, they are easy. I would recommend this class!

Don't listen to the people who complain about the lengthy readings. Skim and you'll do perfectly fine. More often than not she discusses the same topics in class, just use some common sense. She's not as scary as the first few days make you believe. Great prof.

Great teacher, provides excellent insight on topics presented. Tests aren't difficult, just go to class and answer the study guides.

This is the first time I have ever disagreed with rate my professor. Fun, interesting and informative class and teacher. Just write down the important points she says "Hint hint" for, and you will easily pass. The tests are all common sense, just write down the "hint hint" parts and generally pay attention and you will pass with little effort.

I really loved taking this class with her and couldn't imagine having another professor for it. Her lectures are very informative and interesting; you can really tell she is passionate and knowledgable about the subject. The tests can be a bit tricky because she always puts "none of the above" or "all of the above" for choices but it's easy to pass

I honestly thought prior to this class that it was going to be terrible. From the course description i thought i would have zero interest. I was so wrong! The class is so interesting. She is extremely passionate about what she does. There is a lot of reading, but i skipped almost all of it and got an A. Just take notes, DONT skip, and sit up close!

I was pleasantly surprised to find the course very informative. I highly recommend this professor for this course due to her knowledge in the subject. In this class, you will only get out of it what you put into it. Work hard and she will notice and grade you fairly. Slack off and its your problem, not hers.

I've always liked history, and Ducksworth made it really fun and interesting. There's a lot of reading that goes along with the class, but definitely doable. Make sure to write down the "hint hint" sections of the lecture, they will be tested.

By FAR my favorite professor and the smartest. 300 characters doesn't do her justice. Seems like a lot of reading but I only really use the books for the papers. Lectures are entertaining but can get confusing. Overall, the coursework is very manageable. She's not as intimidating as she appears and is very helpful. I've had her for three UD classes

Dr. Ducksworth is awesome. She really knows her stuff and can be slightly intimidating and scary. I learned a lot in her military history class and enjoyed the semester. The tests are hardish and they take a lot of work and time, at least two are take home. One paper around 12 pages. Would definitely take her again.

Need help? Just ask.

She's kinda confusing and scary but her class is really really cool and she's hilarious. She assigns a TON of reading, but honestly, if you pay attention in class and take good notes, you'll do pretty well. If you want an A+, you'll have to work. She's horrible with emails so go talk with her in person. Her powerpoints are confusing as well.

Professor Ducksworth is one of those "tough, but fair" people. The topic is interesting, and she's clearly incredibly knowledgeable.

She is by far one of my favorite professors. The class is very challenging and packed with information, but it's also very interesting. She gives a large amount of extra credit throughout the semester and is always willing to go out of her way to help you. You really need to work for your grade and do the readings! *hint hint*

Ducksworth is a very cool professor, passionate about the subject. Class is interesting, but she is very disorganized and lectures get confusing and don't seem to follow any sort of system. She says hint hint VERY often, but that's what is on exams, so write them down. I wish I would have filled out the study guides more. Plenty of extra credit

Ducksworth is a great professor. She knows what she is talking about and is very experienced. Athough I didn't read very many of her required texts (other classes were more important), if you pay attention to lecture you will do just fine! Also, come to class because she gives out easy EC opportunities (and lots of them)!

She is a good prof that cares what she is teaching about. She gives out many extra credit options. You would have to try to fail this class, she is very straight forward about what she wants and the class overall is easy. There is 2 papers and a few quizzes on readings that she also talks about in class.

You do have to do a lot of readings for the quizzes. Expect a lot of the test answers to be "all of the above" She gives pretty easy extra credit opportunities and I think she's hilarious. Sometimes her power points seem a little unorganized but you can she really knows what she's talking about. Overall I really enjoyed this class.

My only complaint is that she is unorganized on D2L, and it is hard to find stuff. There is a lot of reading, but you can get by with skimming. Go to class the day before breaks because she will give points half the class is gone. She also has random days of extra credit. DO NOT STRESS ON THE PAPERS, she doesn't grade them that harshly.

Ducksworth is honestly really down to earth. she makes real world connections which are pretty funny to listen to. she is a bit disorganized on D2l and does assign some hefty reading, however you can get by with skimming. Don't waist your time with the textbook just COMPLETE THE STUDY GUIDES and put some effort into the papers and you got this.

Great professor incredibly smart. might need to slow down a bit

This class was relatively easy and she's funny- as long as you show up, genuinely listen to her lectures (which are engaging), & do the study guides for the tests, you will be fine. There are quizlets made for her study guides that i memorized and i always got A on her tests. No quizzes either and i literally never did any of the readings assigned.

Funny teacher and very interesting.

Has tons of opportunities for extra credit and drops a lot of grades. The lecture are interesting and provide more information than what's on the power point. The tests are easy and all the resources needed are on D2l. We rarely used the required texts.

This is a fairly easy class since there's so much extra credit handed out and she's an easy grader, but she tends to be really disorganized on D2L and in the grade book. My only real complaint is that I bought all of the "required" books for the class and she never mentioned them once, so don't waste your money on them.

Wonderful lecturer, makes everything make clear sense. Makes you read books, but the books are all very good. All in all a great experience, very informative and impactful.

Professor Ducksworth is a phenomenal instructor. I was not excited to take this history class, but I never looked at the clock during her lectures. She's very captivating to listen to. She puts on a very intimidating front, but cares about her students success a lot. If you ask she will give you an extension, easy A if you care about the class.

She was a good professor but really unorganized. The grades weren't in until the last week of classes. Don't have to read the books so don't buy them.

Most amazing woman ever, she makes everything interesting and exciting to learn about, her only pitfall is posting grades because she has a difference of opinions with canvas. I can not stress enough, TAKE HER CLASS

Dr. Lwaton has issues with getting grades into Canvas in a timely manner and Canvas organization is pretty bad too. But that being said she is an amazing lecturer and the materials she presents make it really easy to get a good grade in her class as long as you do put in some effort.

Dr. Lawton was a solid choice. Very opinionated on many issues, but usually respectful of the views of others. If you are kind and respectful, you will do well in the class regardless of your own views. There is quite a bit of work, but it is scattered throughout--some weeks you will have a lot to do, and others you may have nothing.

I really enjoyed her and her class. She knows a lot about what she is talking about, but sometimes she doesn't explain it well. She is blunt and will tell it how it is. Her class was fun and you do a lot of group work. Her exams are confusing and a little difficult, but do the group work and you'll get an A. She is a really cool person to know

Dr. Lawton is a really knowledgeable professor, her lectures are always interesting as well. One thing I did not particularly like was how she was always changing due dates and she never responds to her emails. This class also heavily depends on group work.

I really enjoyed Dr. Lawton. The class itself was not that much work. The main problem is that most people didnt go to the information sessions where assignments were explained, so a lot of people were always confused.

Selika is a caring professor and an inspiration. Her class is manageable if you can survive doing a lot of group work. I had the opportunity to work with her outside of class in some community advocacy. She is a fighter and a fierce advocate and I was honored to be her student.

HIST 210 was mainly group projects and lectures. Shes an amazing person and lectures were interesting. Gives LOTS of extra credit options. Ask questions in person cause shes hard to reach outside of class. Wants the best for her students and is understanding. I recommend taking her if you get the chance.

Dr. D is legitimately my favorite professor!!! She is extremely knowledgeable about everything she teaches and her assignments aren't that hard at all. I will say be ready to read and listen for her to say "hint hint" in her lectures because at times her lectures will start to seem like random information you don't need. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT!!!!

Selika was a great professor to have. She really knows what she's talking about and teaches very well. There aren't any exams or quizzes its more of just exams. For those of you complaining about getting an A,ur an idiot why do u want her to grade harder lmao. Anyways one of the smartest professors on the campus, and teaches well if u listen.

Her lectures are a little hard to follow but she is willing to have great conversations both about and not about class. Knows what she is talking about. Easy and flexible grader.

She is truly a great person! Loves to teach. Easy grader, most of her classes are stress free and what you put in is what you get out.

She is such an amazing professor and I had a lot of fun shooting my classmates with Nerf guns on the last day of class! A lot of group projects that are really interesting and easy. My only grievance is that she is a little unorganized but overall not too bad. Highly recommend taking any class with her. Such an amazing professor and woman!

She genuinely cares about her students, will bend over backwards for anybody, and is downright hilarious. I wish more professors were like her.

Very knowledgable, well-informed, and interesting sense of humor. Very helpful if you ask her a question after class/during worktime. She is super messy and terrible with technology and canvas, manages time poorly (but still responsible for mistakes, push back due dates). Assignments are not that bad, class felt very chill

Overall, I enjoyed this professor. She does not have a filter, so I really appreciated the real history of America vs what we were taught in high school. She does not have very many assignments, and grades are kind of slow, but overall the class was easy and informational. I would take her class again.

Duxksworth is an incredible professor. She is so funny, and I actually want to take part in her lectures. She is super kind. The one problem is her canvas is a disaster, plus with multiple classes she had to miss, I didn't feel ready for the midterm and final. I was lost writing those papers. But overall, she is wonderful. Take a class from her!
