Very knowledgeable professor. Relatively high standards for her students, ample reading assigned, but she only required 2 papers (you can take your pick of 2 out of 4).If you go to her w/? she will do her best to help you. Also you must take notes b/c she doesn't post them to bb. Several extra credit opportunties. If you like history, take her.

Mrs. Campbelll is a great professor. Class isn't mandatory but you WILL fail if you don't attend. Participate in class. Quizzes EVERY class so READ at least a day in advance.

Here's an honest review for Professor Campbell. I took her over the summer for an 8 week and damn did she move quick. My hand literally hurt because all she did was powerpoints, and make us copy notes. She did reading quizzes everyday, and there was only a Paper, Midterm, and Final. The midterm was near impossible so I dropped. Teaches effectively.

This professor is really nice and likes to share her personal stories with the class. The class is heavy on notes. There is a reading quiz due the night before each class. Those are easy, if you understand the readings. She offers extra help during her office hours. She also gives plenty of extra credit work. You will need a couple of books.

Prof. Campbell--while heavy on giving notes each class--makes history very interesting to those that have otherwise found it boring! She knows weird/fun facts about every time period, every historical figure, etc., and even brings in actual artifacts and such (weapons, old roman coins, and more) to pass around in the class. She makes history fun!

The difference between an A and B is 100 pts. She gives some extra credit but they themselves are not worth the amount of points it has. Also, since she HARSHLY grades on your work by GIVING WHATEVER GRADE SHE WANTS, you can easily lose 100 points halfway through the semester and making an A very difficult for what is supposedly an easy class.
