Great teacher. Her lectures are a little boring, but the test are really easy. She gives you study questions and she picks 30 of them for a multiple choice test, doesnt get any easier than that. She requires a writing assignment, but you have all semester to do it. I did them both 1 week before they were do and I got an A.

I loved having Professor Thomas! She really loved teaching and had a lot of enthusiasm for history. In turn, it made me remember facts easier and also made me more interested in the history topics she was talking about in class. She's a great teacher. I highly recommend her.

Very easy class. Attendance is necessary because she assigns pointless busy work that can only be received on that day of class. Her lectures reminded me of high school history, though even some of those were more comprehensive. She is also a very loud speaker and seemed far too rehearsed and unnatural.

Teaches why things happened in relation to each other, rather than dates. Very interesting teacher, genuinely cares about the grade you make, and is very willing to help or make and exception as long as you talk to her and have a legitimate reason. Revived my interest in history.

Took the DL Coarse. As long as you do the study guide (the test questions are identical) and research paper (a bit ridiculous at 7-10 pages worth) you'll have an easy A.

I took the DL course. It takes about two hours to complete each study guide (4 total, 60 questions each). The answers are found directly in the book. Start the research paper early in the semester so you will not be rushing near the end. History is repeating itself....

Took her online DL class in fall 2009. At that time, she had "suggested" deadlines for tests, which I loved until I fell behind when I focused too much on my other classes with strict deadlines. I failed. Took the class again this semester & she now has set deadlines for tests. Tests are a breeze if you use the study guides.

Shes awesome! I took her last semester and this semester for History II. All you have to do is study the study guide for the tests and you will do well. To get an A you have to type a book report but thats pretty straight forward. She is nice also if you need to talk to her, I would absolutely recommend her.

Another DL student. I just love the approach that ACC has taken with History. Not only can you follow the study guides and excel at the class, but I enjoyed the learning process. I didn't mind the research paper, start it early and pick a subject you find interesting!

DL Class. Easy and clear. tests are directly from your study guides. DO THE STUDY GUIDES. you also have to write 8+ research paper to earn an A. If you are aiming for solid B she also offers alternative for that. I recommend her

Had her for online History.. too easy. Every 4 weeks, you have a 30 question test over 4 chapters (she gives you the questions in a review at the beginning of the semester.) So, you can just study the questions a week before the test. If you want an A,you have to take your tests on time & write a paper at the end. She's about following directions.

A very easy DL course, there are 5, 30 question multiple choice tests. The questions for these come straight off the study guide she provides. Very straight forward class with a good DL teacher. You have to write a research paper to get an A though. It was an easy A.

Took her DL course. There are 5, 30 question multiple choice tests. The questions for these come straight off the study guide questions she provides. You have to write a book report for a B or a research paper to get an A though. Easy class. Highly Recommend.

DL CLASS, 1st test easy 100, but I found the tests very confusing even when comes straight from the study guide,the choices are not in an absolute true or false statements that usually are in tests of multiple choice, I never fail the tests, but I never get the A or B I wanted, and coz' her rules in retest you can't get more than 70.

I got DL class. The first test is map test, I got 100 from the first test. It is very easy map test(multiple choice). There are 4 other tests which are multiple choice tests. For an A you should write a 7 pages research paper. She is so helpful, and answers email very fast. If you read the book and study guide you will get an A!

She is a VERY good teacher, you understand everything she says, and her lectures are very easy to take notes from. Her quizzes and tests are easy as well. But she will not give you warnings. She will drop you from the class if you do something against the syllabus.

Very nice lady. She is very helpful. She makes her online History II class very easy to follow. I over did it this semester with my course load or I would have gotten an A. I would definitely reccomend her online class.

Read the book. Take 5 tests by deadlines (first is a North America map test). Write a paper.

Read book. Take 5 tests (first is North American map test). Write a research paper for an A.

she is very helpful and nice lady. took her for both history I and history II. her tests are easy if you study the study guide she gives you. highly reccomend her

Dr. Thomas' class is one of my favorites hands down. Practically zero homework. Study guides that are 60 questions per section, test is 30 multiple choice. First test is a US Map test that's multiple choice, to see who's 'attending' class. The final grade is either a research project for an 'A' or a book report for a 'B'. Take HER!

Dr. Thomas' online class was very easy. I was able to take all of the tests within the first six weeks of the semester, thus giving me more time to write my paper. I made 100s on the tests and my paper was accepted immediately. She responded to e-mails very quickly and was always happy to help.

Dr. Thomas was freaking amazing. Her test are not that hard and she gives a review. she also gives out mandatory take home assignment which are easy as well and she averages all the scores up for a extra test grade. but in order to get an A in her class you must do a book anaylsis which is not difficult. The final exam is over the last chapter

Her tests are easy if you do the study guides. I took a bunch of notes during her lectures and it definitely helped when doing the study guide. She's great and obviously loves history.

She is amazing. Unbelievable. You read the chapter yourself then go to class to see the whole picture-- her tests are easy (just do the study guide) and her research assignments are fun! Dr. Thomas is very passionate about her teaching and makes everything connect.

Dr. Thomas is a dynamic speaker bringing enthusiasm and life into history. The class was very easy and the only reason I got a B was because I didn't do the book analysis assignment that qualifies you for an A.

Dr. Thomas gives a study guide with SOME of the questions for the test on it. MOST are NOT verbatim and some questions she asks are AROUND the study guide question. Just read the chapters. If you go through and do 12 of the unit one day, 12 the next day, then study 1 full day you should be good to go. Just be aware test questions are different.

Class was moderately easy. I had to work for it. Tests were easy, as long as you take notes and study the study guides. Weekly assignments were easy. Book was really needed to pass this class. Book review assignment is mandatory to get an A. It wasn't easy, but wasn't hard as well, She'll review it for you to make correction. Overall, passable clas

I took Dr. Thomas' online History 1 class and enjoyed it, it involved me reading the textbook then tests. I only got an A in the class because of the A Paper at the end which I liked. But TURN IN PAPER EARLY! She will probably have some things she wants you change and clarify. She will be super specific about the type of paper she will accept.

Dr. T is the bomb, she is so helpful, she will listen to you and respect your life outside of class. 5 tests, first is a map test. 60 question reviews, she chooses 30 questions from that exact review. If you read, and do the review, you will get an A. B avg on tests for A paper. E-mail her and stay up to date on reading! TAKE HER

She is very clear about her grading and testing schedule. She lets you know before hand what is expected to get the grade you are after and you can work ahead. Read the book for the tests and as long as you do the study guide, the tests are simple. She does offer a book analysis and a research paper for the higher grades.

Dr. Thomas is a very good professor. If your up for a little challenge, I really recommend her. The schedule of when exams are is very clear. I would strongly recommend reading the text and doing the study guide questions before the exams. Also, in order to get an A you need to complete an acceptable Book Analysis otherwise a B is all you can get.

2nd review for Dr. Thomas and it will be consistent with the first; her tests suck a big santa claus size bag of weiners. Seriously. The only reason I got the A was 1: because I did the paper, and turned it in months ahead of time, and 2: because I barely got an 80 avg, actually she rounded up so yeah. She will help if you email her.

Will help you at any time. Tests were easy and passable, study the study guide she gives and students will be okay. One paper(book review) to make an A, which she will give you the instructions on how she wants it done. Overall, highly recommend her if you want to pass or make an A.

Very helpful with any questions you may have. Reading the book is essential, but she gives fantastic study guides and the tests aren't too hard.

Professor Thomas is a very dynamic instructor. Lectures can be long especially if you don't like history, but it isn't too bad if you actually pay attention and take notes. TAKE NOTES and attend class, because sometimes there are questions on tests that you can only get right if you've attended class. Overall, I would take her again.

Tests come straight from Lecture notes and book work. Study Guide very helpful. Tests are not hard if you study. Easy research assignments. Must do Book Project to get an A, regardless of exam grades.

Homework is usually assigned every week, but they can be pretty simple. Her tests can be a little tricky, although she does provide a study guide with similar questions on the test. But she is a very smiley professor and you can tell she loves history. In order to get an A you must do a book report.

Pretty easy class, but must do an estimated 7-10 page book analysis to get an A.

Great teacher. Only down side is, is that if you want to make an A, you HAVE to do a 10 page book analysis. It is graded as either pass or fail. But test are easy if you study and go to class and take notes. Wouldn't hurt to read the book prior to class like she suggests but you'll be fine if you don't. Taking her again next semester. Very smart.

Very very very very very very straight forward about everything. EVERYTHING on SYLLABUS is EXACTLY what to expect. DO the STUDY GUIDES and you will GET "A's" ON TESTS - no surprises Fair amount of reading, but there's no other assignments than tests. I wish the book wasn't so pedantically written, but I learned a lot and enjoyed myself anyway

Very clear about what she expects in class. Utilizes the entire class period, so if you don't like sticking around, she's not the teacher for you. Tests are based on study guide, not on lectures, though the lectures help contextualize info. Highly recommend to students who are serious about getting the most out of the class. Would take again.

Easy class if you do the required work. Super clear syllabus, study guide given. Prof is easily contacted and responds promptly.

You will have to do a book analysis if you want an A, make sure you turn it in early so she can give you feedback. She gives you a study guide so tests are easy!! Great professor, I'm taking her again.

Dr. Thomas is a very straight forward professor. Although she has a study guide, her lectures are contextual, and will expect you to read in between the lines of the textbook as if you were a Historian. I suggest you do the research assignments because they are something that can help your grade in a long way.

Crystal clear grading criteria. Responds quickly, and is very helpful. Lots of reading, and lots of studying. The first test a breeze, the other four much more difficult. Doesn't give extra credit. Read the syllabus and do the study questions, and you'll do just fine.

I love this professors approach. Straight forward, 5 tests multiple choice, read the chapters and do the study guides and you will do fine on the tests. Optional paper for an A. If you make an average of 80 on all the tests you get an automatic B. AND the textbook is a good read, has some funnies.

This class is an easy B. The syllabus spells exactly how to get a good grade. There is a ton of reading. If you read and do the study questions it is almost impossible not to get at least a B. She was quick to answer emails. The research paper to get an A is pretty difficult. Be sure and start the paper early and ask her lots of questions.

TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE!! Don't waste your time doing the in class section, there is more work. All you have to do is spend a few hours doing a study guide from the book and go take the tests at any testing center, if you have an 80 or above average its an automatic B. If you want an A, all you have to do is write an "acceptable" research paper.

History was never my favorite subject but this professor really made it enjoyable. She has a obvious passion for teaching and making sure you succeed. Her lectures are paired with slides and note taking is mandatory to succeed in this class. There are a total of 4 - 30 question tests and no final exam test. Requires a big book report to get an A.

Very detailed study guides but test questions are very difficult. The wording will trip you up. 5 tests with 80% average and an accepted research paper for an A. Thats it. No other homework.

Honestly compared to other History Profs. at ACC, Thomas is by far the best. I did the "Paper" for an A in the class, but it really isnt even a paper. It's just a bunch of questions you write your answers into. Other teachers actually make you write formal papers!! Read the study guide before tests and you are good!!

5 exams. must score at least an 80% on each to qualify to write a 7 page research paper for an A. or for a B write a book report. Or score 80% or above on each test and automatically get a B. Provides study guides for each chapter. Read each chapter twice to understand every angle of the study guide questions. Tests will be easy.

Tests are tough because they had questions on somewhat vague or otherwise very specific and unnoticeable details in the textbook. Also, her study guide is a little outdated I believe, and so it does not correspond well with the textbook . Test questions "come from the study guide", but to be prepared, you should study well. Otherwise, a great class

Took online, and it went exceptionally. 5 tests, all very sensible, one major paper, described in great detail and with many examples. The grading system makes obtaining an A easy so long as you read the whole book, study sufficiently, and put enough effort into the research paper. Was a non-stressful class that gave me time to enjoy the textbook.

One of the best online courses I've taken. She has the whole schedule and study questions for each chapter up on the first day. You can take any of the 4 tests whenever, so I got ahead to focus on other classes. Gives good feedback on your research paper if turned in early enough. Taking her again for US History II

I really don't know how to rate her properly. I had almost no interaction with her taking a DIL course. It was pretty much go and take your tests before the due date, and that's about it. No real direction and the class was very plain.

Professor Thomas has an amazing personality and truly cares about her students. She doesn't allow you to take notes on a computer, so bring paper and something to write with to class. Her testing is very clear, and over what she lectures about. She also brings in a few guest speakers. She has an essay that you must complete to get an A.

Dr. Thomas has a straightforward online US History course. I took her for US History I and II. Read the chapters and do the study guide (which goes along with the textbook). Not much is provided other than the study guide. There is a mandatory research paper to get an A which I found difficult even though I'm a strong writer. I would recommend her.

Dr. Thomas is really nice. She is very responsive to emails. Just one thing needed to be aware that you need to read the book to answer all questions in her study guide and you should be fine. The map test is really helpful to build up your total point, so try to get 30 points on that test because it is super easy. She is not a tough grader.

I HATE HISTORY have always been horrible at it. I received a B! her study guides are the best! I assure you will pass the 5 exams if you do them! I did the study guides and didn't study, but please make sure to read every page and chapter. I enjoyed re-learning over the US HISTORY wish I can take her for HIST 1302

Her syllabus is very straightforward. Not an easy A but you can do it if you read all you chapters carefully since some questions can be tricky. The professor answers your emails very quickly.

I took her class online so I don't know much about her personality or teaching, but her class was pretty straight forward. You essentially determine your grade, do the minimum get a C, do a book report to potentially make a B, and then a research paper to make an A.

One of my favorite teachers ever. Very respectful if you respect her rules and show up often and on time. Her lectures are entertaining and she clearly has a passion for what she teaches. I took both American History courses and found them easy to pass if you just do the weekly reading (it's not that much)

professor thomas is an amazing lecturer! she goes into detail with every historic event. Her class never bored me. She always came prepared with pp presentation that is easy to follow. If you read the book before class youll easily be able to get an A. She gives you test reviews that are optional to do. If you want an A theres a book report!

Dr. Thomas is a fantastic professor. I took her online courses for both 1301 and 1302 and she has been the best I've had thus far. Anytime you email her with a question she responds within the same day and for most of my emails, the same hour. She really respects that some students have things other than school in their lives. Highly recommend.

This was my second semester with Prof Thomas, and she is awesome. Print out the study guide she provides. Use it to go through the textbook and create a word doc with your answers. Use that to study from. All info is available at the beginning of the semester, so progress as quickly as you'd like. Responds promptly to emails. Highly organized.

Professor Thomas is everything you could want from a professor! She is passionate about history, organized in her lectures, and all around a very kind person. I enjoyed her class very much and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take HIST 1301.

best prof ever

I took Dr. Thomas's HIST 1301 and 1302 online. She was awesome - extremely organized, her grading policy is easy to understand, and she is VERY fast at responding to emails. If you have questions, she's always happy to assist. The textbooks she chose are engaging and interesting. There is a lot of reading but I really enjoyed it. Thanks Dr. Thomas!

Took her online class and it was quite good. I am an ESL student and question on the exam were a bit tricky. But overall the syllabus was crystal on what to do in order to get a certain grade. There are 5 exams: first one is super easy and other fours are straight from the study guide. So make sure to prepare for study guide questions.

I had her for a distance learning class, so I have never met her in person. I can say that she did a really good job being on top of answering emails and being clear on what the course required. Very much enjoyed taking her class, learned a lot while getting credit.

Although I highly recommend taking this class with GOVT2305 b/c the material overlaps, I DON'T suggest taking Dr. T's 5-week class with another 5-week class. If you read and do/study her study guides, u will likely ace the tests and get a B. But if u want an A, u have to do a 7-page research essay, which I didn't have time for w/ the other class...

This was an online class without lectures that consisted of 4 exams, and a research paper for an A. She pulls all of her exam questions from the provided study guide that follows the book exactly. If you do these study guides and the optional research paper it's an easy A. Just be ready to read the entirety of the textbook

There were only 4 tests that counted for grades. No homework/quizzes, just a test every month or so. All the material comes from the textbook. At the end there is a research paper which determines your grade, it's pretty intense and she does grade it harshly. Good class for those who can manage time & don't like lots of assignments.

I like Dr. Thomas. Her syllabus tells you her expectations. If you are looking to cheat and get over, LOOK ELSE WHERE AND GET LOST. If you want to learn good class and fair. Everyone one in my class wants to cheat and do no work. What happen to studying?

Dr. Thomas is a good professor. You do the work should be no problem. Willing to help. You want to cheat, well... what do you expect. I love teh camera. Why should I work hard and others cheat and we get the same grade. Not fair to me. These bad reviews are from lazy cheating people.

I took Dr. Thomas's fully asynchronous 1302 course. There are a total of 4 tests and 1 optional book analysis (for an A in the course). Her expectations, syllabus and study guides are extremely clear & organized. She is super quick to respond to questions and gives all of the tools to learn the material. I really enjoyed this class!

Great lectures, incredibly engaging- doesn't do homework, extra credit, or makeups. Don't miss class and make sure to do the study guide questions and you'll be golden.

I took the distance learning class as an incoming 10th grader and it was not too difficult for me. Mrs. Thomas is really good about responding to emails in a very clear and concise way. While there was a lot to read, it was fun and easy to retain the information. Overall, I felt like the 8-week class I took was overall a very manageable class.

She was fine nothing amazing or awful but she answered emails very very quick and always with something helpful; as long as you know the study guide YOU WILL DO FINE

Dr.Thomas is an overall good teacher. She does not offer extra credit, but if you actually read the book, do the STUDY GUIDE, attend the lectures and study you will do just fine. However, if you want to get an A in the class, you have to do a book analysis that is pretty much a series of questions you have to answer about the book you read.

A fantastic professor who is very knowledgeable and able to teach the information well. Never felt like instructions were unclear and the class itself was very enjoyable. Lectures were enjoyable and never felt boring.

Proffesor Thomas does not offer extra credit, and for this class the only assignments were the unit test along with a test at the beginning of the semester. If you show up to class, read the textbook, and look over the study guide you could for sure pass the class.

Dr. Thomas is amazing. As long as you take good notes during her lectures and do the study guides you will pass the class. I did the extra work to receive the A. Her test are 30 multiple choice questions long, mainly form the study guide with some from the lectures. so you want to attend and take notes. East straightforward class.

Dr. Thomas is a wonderful professor. She provides the study guide for each unit at the beginning of the semester, so there is no confusion regarding what needs to be studied prior to each exam. There is no homework so there is plenty of time to study without being bogged down by extra assignments. I plan on taking her again for HIST 1302!

Professer Thomas give out clear instructions on the study guides. The textbook was interesting and her tests were not too bad, just study the material. Overall great professer!

A good teacher and is respectful. There are 4 tests throughout the course that make up most of your grade. Beware! Students that want an A need to write a 12 page book analysis.

Professor Thomas is straightforward and provides clear study guides. The textbook is interesting, and the exams are manageable with proper preparation. unstuck study proved helpful for my study prep alongside the provided resources.
