The class is easy, as is the material and the textbooks are a good read. It can sometimes take a while to get assignments graded, but it's understandable as Ms. Johnston seems to have a lot on her plate with working on her PhD. She is helpful and responds to emails rather quickly.

I took her online class and she is very clear on what she wants in assignments. two papers and a movie review and some response questions. You have to take notes while reading the chapters for the tests because the tests are a little touch. Overall great class and easy class to balance out some of the hard ones you have to take.

I took her 101 AND 102 courses online. She replied to all my e-mails within a day. If you keep up with the readings this is an easy A

she is very easy, and had i knwon, i would have taken this class online. but attendance is important cause sometimes she will grade you on movies and summaries. fun and easy class. she's very helpful and replied to every email i sent to her

excellent teacher .she helps and always willing to listen to ur problem w the assighnments iam taking her for the history 102.easy and the material is easy to undertstand

shirley was awesome! discussions were fun and the in class movies were interesting!Tests were easy especially the fact that after 30 min..it became open to discuss answers with other classmates..was a relief to b able to compare other answers to make you were headed in the right direction! always answered emails...highly reccommend taking her!!!

IDK why everyone is complaining. I took the online hist 101 and she was great. She gives ALOT of extra credit to make up for the hard quizes. The assignments are EASY just do the work and follow directions and you WILL pass. I think I failed all the quizes and still got an A-. Take her she is worth it!!!

I took Nevada history online 4 week course it was great. There were 4 responces and 4 posts a week as well as a quiz and one paper due it was very doable for a 4 week class. The instructor responses very quickly to my questions. She was very helpful and great!! I would definitely recommend her and this class!!

I took the 4 week online summer course. We answered 4 questions a week followed by 4 responses to our classmates. There were a few quizzes that covered 3-4 chapters. We also had to visit a museum and write a short essay on our experience. Overall the class and instructor were great.

I took NV history and history 101 with Professor Johnston, Both online. She is awesome! She addressed the class in a weekly front page post that keeps things clear. You get to do readings, watch videos, go on field trips for extra credit. The varity of learning formats makes it interesting and you really learn. Highly reccommend!

I took her class in person once a week in the evening. Her lectures were nothing special but the videos were always interesting. The questions were easy, the quizzes were online and VERY easy. If I had any complaint, is that the class was too easy.

Love her! A few weeks after the semester started, I was finding the class hard, however she assured me that she will do everything in her power to work with us.

This is an excellent class.Excellent instructor! Instructions are clear and material is interesting, especially the videos. The textbook is interesting. I took it online and had no problems keeping up with my classes. Do the work, easy A. Professor Johnston is terrific and fair. I recommend this class highly.

This course was awesome! I love Professor Johnston and the way she directed the course. The documentaries were interesting and thought provoking. I recommend this instructor.

This class was great lots of videos, and discussions once a week about the videos on class, the questions about the videos were easy. The only thong you need is not to miss a class, take notes, she gives the questions before the video, and you will pass, final and midterm are easy enough and they are online.

She is wonderful. A very kind and caring teacher. I took her webcourses for Hist 101 & 102. Syllabus and schedule very organized. You have a LOT of time to finish your assignments. You will use Mindtap online and your book. All partic. is discussions and Mindtap. Very easy course, and informational. Take advantage of her office hours as well.

I really enjoy this history class. I learned so much. I loved all the videos even thou they were long, but very informative. One must participate in class discussions. I took this course online. She gave adequate time to turn all assignments in.

Her class is easy and interesting, if you like history. She tells you what she is looking for, and explains grading up front. There were lots of videos we watched, on topics that are not usually discussed in history. The most time consuming aspect are the online assignments that each chapter has. The due dates are never a surprise. You dont need the book, but you need the online access.

I loved Prof. Johnston so much in HIST 101, I made sure to take her course for 102. She structures the semester by 4 units consisting of 3 videos with discussions, a unit exam, and a unit assignment, in each semester. It is awesome to be able to work at your own pace online. She is very kind and communicative.

I took Johnston online for Hist 101 & 102, and I thoroughly enjoyed the courses. She is well organized and gives you a lengthily amount of time to complete your work. Most of the work consisted of reading articles or watching documentaries and following them with class discussions. She is pleasant and cares about her students. I highly recommend.

I took the accelerated version of this class over the summer. She is super nice and very helpful. as long as you do the work it is not a hard class.

4 week online Summer class. She assigns, 12 Video Assignments (up to 2 hours a video), Nevada Constitution quiz, Syllabus quiz, an introduction, and 4 quizzes. She gives you two chances to take each quiz and keeps the higher score. I've never enjoyed History before this class. I highly recommend it. A lot of work, but you learn a lot! She's amazing

She makes everything clear. You work at your own pace for the most part, simple work. I enjoyed working with an online site called Launchpad, use it to access the textbook. She breaks up the work in about 4 sections and gives you 4 weeks to do ur work. Each section of work is 4 chapters in the textbook reading and 3 videos with questions and reply

Easy history class, read the chapters and answer questions until you reach the peak score on the program you need to use. Then watch a video and post to a discussion and respond to other students. Really easy class, all the information is given to you. Not many assignments. Would take again!

I enjoyed taking this class. Although it may seem like a lot of work at the start she gives you at roughly three weeks to do all the work. Most of the course consist of videos and writing replies. Also there is the Learning Curve which is completely easy if you just look back into the book.

Very clear on how to get a good grade! She gives you four weeks to finish three movies assignment and four chapters at a time. I didnt have to message her once because if you read her instructions thoroughly it tells you everything u need. I would totally take her again! wait to buy the text until u start class cuz u gotta get a special online one

Class is mandatory because of movie reviews and that is how she takes attendance, her lectures are extremely long and sometimes her voice can get to you. But overall it is a very easy course, she is so sweet and will answer your questions. The work is simple and you have plenty of time to get it done.

This was an easier class than my 101. I regret not taking both classes with Professor Johnston. She is a good instructor. Only gives homework based on videos watched in class and puts tests online. There's a lot to go through in each chapter. The tests used to be timed, but she decided not to put that much pressure on us. She wants students to pass

12 video assignments, constitutional quiz, four exams, introduction, syllabus quiz. Nice teacher, we had to watch interesting videos and answer some questions about it, then participate in the discussion. Don't leave everything for the last minute and you will be fine.

This class was great and I learned so much. She assigned a syllabus quiz, 12 video review posts with replies, 4 quizzes and 1 Constitution quiz. Plenty of time to watch the videos and do the assignments. The quizzes were easy if you did the reading. Not too much work. I took this online and I am taking the 102 class with her for the summer.

Just finished professor Johnston's summer class and it was the best history class I've taken! She goes based off of a point system so don't go by the percentage. There's a syllabus quiz, 12 videos to answer questions to/respond to other students posts, 4 exams, & a Nevada Constitution Quiz. You have to read a lot in order to do good on the exams.

You read 4 chapters a week, watch three videos each week and write a short response to each video and 2 responses to other students. There is a fairly difficult exam at the end of each week so read the book carefully and take lots of notes! It is challenging but I learned a lot from this class and am looking forward to taking 102 in the fall!

Best class I've ever taken. Be there on time. Fun lecture however DO NOT TEXT! Watch a depressing movie(5-10 questions are given before) Go home and post your answers or if you're smart bring your laptop, sit in back, and type your response to the film during it and post the assignment before class is even out for no homework! Tests are googleable

I took her online classes. One discussion board a week, reply to two people in the discussion board, an exam every four weeks. Pretty easy. I would take her again.

This professor is very nice and understanding. Not so much so that you can take advantage of her, though. She gives you a fair amount of work, seeming to take into consideration that people have busy lives to live, which might include classes other than hers. I would take her again in a heartbeat.

She provides historical facts from different perspectives. History is typically a boring subject, but she included videos and short readings to break the monotony and make it interesting. One of the best history professors Ive had. Definitely recommend!

She provides historical facts from different perspectives. History is typically a boring subject. She included videos and short readings to break the monotony and make it interesting. One of the best history professors Ive had. I liked her so much for HIST 102 that I decided to take her online summer HIST 101 course. Definitely recommend!

The half semester class consists of plenty of weekly work. Just show up to class, take good notes and do your work on time to get a good grade. Ms Johnston knows her history well.

Took 101 and 102 in the same semester and had no problem keeping up with the workload. Weekly assignments are manageable and modules are presented in a clear fashion. Video discussions were interesting and I learned a lot in these courses. Choose Shirley for History and you won't regret it!

I've taken 3 classes with Shirley (101& 102 +251) and I really love her style. She's so warm and loves history. She likes to give different perspectives and encourages students to do projects on whatever interests them. She's also very accessible in her office for extra help.

Just finished her online eight week course for HIS 101. Expect to write 16 discussion posts based on hour long videos, 4 every two weeks. As long as you meet the minimum word count and write coherently, you'll easily get full credit. There are 4 exams, one every two weeks, which are pretty difficult unless you do some of your own research. Easy A.

online class hist 101 Great Professor she responds to my emails fast class was simple to watch 3 to 4 videos a week answer the questions and take the quiz they are timed but were easy no need to buy the book, but it was nice to have to reference back on information.

Took 101 for first 8wks of semester and now 102 for the second 8wks. Every two weeks we have to watch 4 videos and have written answers based on the videos and then a quiz of 50qs. She tries to make it as interesting as possible even though some of the videos can be hard to get through! She responds quick and gives good feedback! I recommend!

The best professor I have ever had. I enjoy her lectures, work, and ease of layout. Very easy to navigate thru her assignments and she is a fair grader.

I took professor Shirley Johnston for both History 101 and 102 and she was very pleasant. Her class is fairly easy (mine was online) as long as you do her essays and test (you have to do well on the too). Get ready to read though because her test is pretty tough despite having an hour or so to finish it. Overall though, she is worth taking.

It was time-consuming but the teacher grades pretty easy. So if you do all the assignments you will get an A. I had 8 weeks class, every 2 weeks we had to do 4 essays from 1-hour-long videos and exams from the book readings

The structure of the class is easy. You have 4 videos- with responses and an exam due every 2 weeks. It's an average amount of reading, but its history what can you expect. The videos are interesting and expectations for the responses are specific. Enjoyed the class and would take this professor again any time! Not an "easy" A but achievable.

I took Ms. Johnston's HIST 102 course, and despite not being a huge fan of the subject in the past, the topics she focuses on are really interesting. The exams are based on the textbook, and there's a lot of reading, but between that and the discussions it was a pretty interesting course. I would definitely take Ms. Johnston's class again.

This was an 8 week online class. Only 1 required paperback book. Every 2 weeks, we had to watch 5 videos on historic events and answer questions, they were very interesting. US and Nevada Constitution quiz and 2 short essays on the paperback book. A decent amount of work, but with some discipline, it was completely manageable. Would recommend!

I took Professor Johnston's Hist 100 class online during the Spring and it was an 8-week class. I learned so much from her class! She's a great professor and really wants you to learn. She responds to her emails pretty quickly and she's really nice. I recommend taking her!!! The only thing is there is a bit of work but it is well spaced out. :)

Her 4-week online class is so easy! Literally, I purchased the book that was required for her class and found out that there was a return policy of making sure to turn the book back in within 4 days (I think) so that I could get a refund! And I got her class done in 3 days, and got a refund! Basically you can go at your own pace in her class!

Great class! If you complete the work on time and follow the rubric(s)/ syllabus instructions, you'll be fine. Professor was great at communicating and very understanding. No textbook required, but did find required reading material (a book) online free. Watched films and answered questions for assignments.

Professor Johnston was great during my 4 week course with her. Very clear with grading and after the discussion assignments she will respond to you and let you know if you missed anything. Great teacher and solid course as long as you just do the assignments. Would certainly recommend.

I loved this class, I had to retake it (failed with a different teacher) she always replied to emails within 12 hours or less and she helped me out when I had a family emergency and couldn't complete my homework, you'll have 4 assignments every week that includes videos and 6 tests. I had a great experience overall!

I took her 4-week class and I learned a ton. Every week you will have to watch 4 videos and write a short essay (either 350 or 500 words, usually) on each, as well as respond to 2 students. You will read 4 chapters and take a test each week. The 4-week course was fairly easy to pass with an A, I'm sure the 8 and 16-week courses are even easier.

Professor Johnston was a well organized, detailed, fun professor. Even though I took the online class the whole class was laid out very easy to understand what needed to get done. Lots of interesting discussions and videos that we got to watch. I would highly recommend this professor!

Professor Johnston is amazing! Her class was great I took her online 8 week course. It was a lot of work but easy grading scale. She opened up a module at a time and would give you two weeks to complete 5 assignments. The assignments were watching history videos and answering questions. During her curse we had to take two quizzes and write 2 papers

Professor Johnston was great! Took her 8-week course and really enjoyed it! Consists of watching 5 videos and writing mostly 350 word discussion posts. Also had to write two papers on a book (given 2 weeks to do). A lot of work but plenty of time to do it. Most assignments did not take much time to do.

Easiest and most interesting class ever. 16wk, 4 modules each consisted of 5 videos to watch and write about. I printed the transcripts when they were available. 2 tests which were very easy. No textbook needed just a chapter book. I ordered it online for a dollar. She took awhile to grade assignments but that is my only complaint. Easiest A+ ever.

Professor Johnston is a fantastic instructor and her class is incredibly organized. There is a decent amount of work to be done, most of it consists of watching historical videos and taking enough notes to compile a discussion post. There isn't necessarily a textbook as she has opted for a novel. You have the ability to work ahead slightly.

20 video Assignments @ 30 points each, U.S. Constitution Quiz, Bill of Rights assignment, Nevada, Constitution Quiz, 2 Papers based on the text, Introduction, Syllabus Quiz. Read the book and everything else you'll power through it. Professor Johnston is a light grader and answers you if you need help or anything. You'll be fine if you try.

If you dont mind typing papers each week then this is the class for you. It said that it was going to be a Tues/Thurs class but on the first day she told us we only had to come in one day. She does some powerpoints & talks a bit but for the most part you are just typing papers on your own time & she gives a topic for the paper weekly. Not too bad.

This class was a real gem. The class I had was an 8 week class with weekly essays with about 550 - 750 words. She was an easy grader. there was only 2 quizzes that could be completed anytime within the 8 weeks. I highly recommend this class, easy A you just have to do the writing.

He honestly gives you good feedback on the discussion posts (assignments). I got lucky, I think because he spaces out the work into units, four units total one every four weeks, and it's just watching a video and writing a discussion on it. 20/10 would take the class again

She's a really great hist100 professor. Discussion posts are due at the end of each unit, so you don't have to stress if you have lots of work due in other classes. Tests are open note, and she give you everything you need to do well on them. Take her! You won't regret it.

essays 500-700 words. Must watch videos and read what she provides for essays. If you don’t like essays, don’t take her. She’s very caring and helpful. The essays are easy. She doesn’t ask for much on essays, just show you understand it that’s all. Have balance cause it’s hard to BS essays since you have to watch one hr or 10 min vids

Just finished the summer 4 week course. She's clear about what she expects and the material is interesting. 1-2 500 wrd essays every week. Quizzes were easy. Take this class!

I enrolled in her 4 weeks class and it is not bad at all. Just follow her instructions and you will pass her subj. She will help you if you have any questions. She is just amazing. Just 2 discussion assignments every week. In the 4th week, 1 major essay and 2 quizzes.

While this class was a typical lecture, I really enjoy the way Johnston explains things. Her lectures are very interesting and I learned a lot from her! She's also very kind and seems to have a big heart. I'd definitely recommend taking her!

I took this as an 8 week course. Attendance is optional and it is nice to have the flexibility of knowing the assignments are already online. DO NOT procrastinate in this class, there are some multiple hour videos that are part of the homework, they are interesting but make sure that you have time! Other than that everything flows very nicely!

She is really a great professor. I did get an F in her class but that was completely my fault since I forgot to do the last few assignments. I am planning on retaking her class online in the spring so I can get the credit. She is really cool and I love her lectures, even though I didn't go to them all. She also is a good grader and i got 100s

She was such an amazing teacher! I took her 8 week course and it was a breeze. There are 500 word essays due every week on videos and articles you have to read and watch. Super easy to do, but don't procrastinate because some videos are pretty long. Attendance isn't mandatory and there are 2 quizzes at the end of the course with an essay.

Professor Johnston was great. My class was a 8-week course, but the work was very manageable as long as you did it. Professor Johnston was understanding with problems I faced, and allowed me to turn in assignments directly to her. I would definitely choose her as a professor again.

This class was great. There's a lot of video content and every week there was an essay on what we learned that week with how final being on essay on a small portion of a book. It is a lot of work, but for being an 8-week course it's not too bad. Her grading is lenient and the material is incredibly interesting.

Really was a lovely class. There's a lot of video material to watch and an essay due every week, but she's a pretty lenient grader as long as you're accurate. As well, it's not too bad of a work load for an 8-week course. The material is really interesting and it's a great class for self-pacing.

Ms. Johnston is a very, VERY nice professor! Her class is very fun; there's not a lot of reading, most of what you watch are fun documentaries or YouTube videos from PBS. You'll participate in discussions weekly and write a book report about a book called The Forever War. The book report isn't too bad, it only took me two days to write mine out.

The 4 week summer semester had a lot of material to read before each paper was due. Two 500+ word papers per week. Two quizzes. One 750+ word book project. Easy class if you stay on top of things. She has everything well organized. I really enjoyed this class and all of the material that was provided to us.

You will have to read and watch videos, but they are incredibly interesting and educational. Additionally, in HIST100, one of our last assignments was about modern hate groups and patterns. I highly recommend Professor Johnston!

This class was the easiest class I ever took in college. Shirley gives great lecture , and takes her time explaining everything. She is respectful and kind, so if you have any questions, make sure to ask her because she will her her time and explaining till you understand. The workload is manageable and you can work in groups.

Great class. Quizzes due an hour before class. Assignments due that same night after class. Lecture is not mandatory, you may get the work done early as long as she opens all assignments. Quizzes are open book/you can use all resources provided. Chapter tests, and a final paper due at the end and you may use all resources. Great professor.

Take this professor! I took a condensed 8 week course and it was relatively easy. The course consists of consistent work, a few short exams and a weekly 10 question quiz. Get ready to do a good bit of reading, but its nothing sluggish, her discussions are always engaging. Above and beyond I highly suggest if you have other classes to balance!

Took 8week condensed course; 10question quiz due the same day before class begins, attendance was optional/mandatory. If you didn't show up for class you would have to do an assignment that was easy. Understanding, easy, information professor. Enjoyed this class and would absolutely take again. Great and intelligent professor!

This class was amazing easy credit class! Only one essay a week for assignments and at the end of the course there is a longer essay with a open note 60 question quiz. You only need the textbook for the essay at the end of the semester! As long as you put in some effort and go by the syllabus the class is a breeze!

She is a nice professor. Her lecture was easy to understand. Also, if you study with the PPT she posted, it will be not difficult at all. But there are some group talking projects. Be prepared for it.

Super kind professor that cares about her students. One of the easiest classes I have taken and the reading was super interesting. Only one paper on assigned book everything else is on Canvas and can easily be viewed without paying. Quizzes open book due before class and discussion weekly. Won't regret this class and pass if you do reading.

Professor Johnston's HIST100 class is well-organized and engaging. The workload is manageable, with regular essays and quizzes. unstuck ai proved helpful for study prep alongside the course materials. Highly recommended!

Amazing and engaging. Structured perfectly for an 8 week class. I wish there was a bigger push for participation of students and after numerous complaints she still let people talk during lectures and videos which was distracting. If you don't show up to watch the videos you have to write a paper and one paper due at the end of the class was easy.

I took the 4 week summer class, and it was a breeze! She share so many informational resources from news articles, videos, and more. We also had to read the book Forever War, and it was very eye opening to hear from the different people's perspective of the ongoing war. Prof grades fast with great feedback, and responds quickly to emails!

Easy to pass if you try
