She's a pretty good teacher. You'll just take notes and when it comes time for the test, you can just look at the PowerPoint online and every question comes from that. 1 of 4 essays doesn't count and 1 of 4 tests doesn't count. So you can skip or miss one of each and you will be fine.

Professor Kyser was one of my favorite professors last semester. She is a great teacher with very clear lectures, study guides, and tests. As long as you show up, take notes, study the study guide, and try on the tests, there is no reason why you shouldn't pass. She also helps students who are struggling. Four essays, four tests, one presentation.

She always encourages us to let her know if there is something that is "questionable" or "tricky" on her powerpoints, project information, or tests.

Professor Kyser makes class super fun, very clearly enjoys teaching a lot! She brings props to class occasionally too. Also includes fun videos and games in class to help students remember things. A little bit of a touch grader when it comes to papers, but still very manageable. She is very nice and loves talking with students.

Excellent professor! Book is optional, you get all the needed info from her lectures and study guides. She explains expectations thoroughly and sets you up for success. Her lectures are amazing and she presents the information in a way that it is likely you will retain it after completing the class. Very sweet person overall. Taking her for 1302!

She is a very expressive professor. She is very knowledgeable and as long as you're paying attention, she will make sure you learn what you need to know. She only gives 3 exams plus a final and very few homework assignments. She is one of the best professors I've ever had.

I am not a history person at all, but the way she teaches made the information stick! If you take notes you should fine on her tests. She practically tells you what is on the test and emphasizes in lecture the exact thing on her tests that important to know. As long as you go to class you will pass.

An amazing teacher very helpful. This class was the first time I had experienced essay questions so I went to meet with her. By the end of the semester I was no longer concerned about writing essay questions. Very friendly do not be afraid to ask questions.

LOVE LOVE PROFESSOR KYSER! Took her for 1301 and was an amazing professor who made every lesson very easy to learn and always kept the class engaged! Her tests are straightforward and as long as you fill out the study guide and study over the exam questions, there is no reason to not pass her class.

Her lectures are amazing and if you fill out the exam study guides you will do well. The study guides seemed a little tedious imo (100-150 possible multiple choice options and only 20 chosen) but I would still recommend her!

I hate history because it's boring. Kyser makes learning history so enjoyable! I didnt read the book the whole year and still made a high A. Her online lectures are fantastic and give you all the info you need for the exams. Fill reviews out while watching lectures and its an easy A. She is fair about essay grades but not easy. 10/10 recommend her!

For a 3-credit class she was very lecture heavy with hours of videos to watch for review. Her reviews were amazing, but she graded tough on her essays. She also made you go to the library to take your test when this is supposed to be an online class. Easy if you know your history, if you don't. You better learn it and know what to say correctly.

Professor Kyser is awesome! I took her for 1301 and 1302. If you follow along with the study guide, and do your best when it comes to the essays, you'll be fine. Her in-person lectures are amazing, and really gets you involved in the material.

I just took this class for summer II. She has a great personality and makes learning the material actually FUN. Great for visual learners! The lectures are long but necessary to make it through the required material. If you actually watch the lectures, fill out the study guides, and do the assignments there is no way you can fail. TAKE THIS CLASS!

This professor is my favorite I've taken so far! I took her for Summer II, and it was really easy and fun. Her lectures are fun to watch swell as easy to understand. Her study guide has every single question on the exams, fill out as you watch the lectures, so it's really easy to study for. I loved her class, and I encourage everybody to take her!

Loved having prof. Kyser for both 1301 and 1302. She makes things easy to understand, and tells you exactly what you need to study with her study guides. If you watch the video lectures and fill out the study guide, you will do great. Take her!!

Mrs. Kyser is truly amazing! She absolutely deserves a 5/5. I only wish I had taken her for HIST 1301 as well.There are two exams and a final, but as long as you watch the lectures and complete the study guide while watching, you'll be well-prepared. She made history fun and engaging to learn-highly recommend! You will not regret taking Mrs. Kyser!

She's very understanding in situations and her lectures are very interesting. I only passed with a D since there were quizzes I didn't know about but she's a wonderful professor and takes accountability when she makes mistakes. Im taking her again for 1302 since she teaches so well!

She barely didn't even specify what was needed for assignments. She also states that essays that students write are made by AI when students work hard and stay up late just to get essays looking perfect.

Incredible teacher! She gives you a study guide over each exam including what topics she may ask you to write an essay over. Exams are based off the study guide. Very clear grading. The essays are tough but she gives you plenty of time to study the topics. Easy A” if you follow the study guide. I made a 107 on my final. Hands down THE BEST!!
