Dr. Kibbe is a fantastic professor! She definitely knows history well and makes sure her students know it too. If you attend class regularly, then you don't have to read the textbook, but she does require you to read one or two books dealing with the class and follow it up with a book report over a certain topic.

Everyone complaining about kibbe obviously wants to show up for class once a week and just get a A. I've had other profs assign 3 extra books. She only has 1. If you cant read 15 pgs over a week you really shouldn't be in college. If you read and go to class the tests are easy. She tells you everything that will be on the test.

I had her for an 8am, people would show up late, which disrupted class (she starts right on the dot). Seriously, just don't be late and participate in class- your grade depends on it. The tests were very detail heavy, but there's a quizlet under her name that has most of her questions on it. Phrases lectures like a story, keeps us engaged.

This is now my second semester with this professor and I still enjoy going to her class. Yes, she does require attendance but she gives you plenty of extra credit for showing up and her lectures are very interesting. Her test and quizzes are simple, just understand the material and you will pass, you don't need to know any dates really!

Dr. Kibbe gives tests that are limited at 15 minutes for 17-18 multiple choice questions. Its just not enough time. Discussions, tests, midterm and final. Read a separate book besides the history text as well. Overall it's not impossible but very stressful with the tests.

I took this course online and I would recommend taking it online. She gives you a detailed syllabus with everything you need to do for the week. All of the assignments were straight forward. The only thing I would "complain" about is the amount of time given to take the quizzes and tests. Other than that I would recommend taking this class.

Loved Dr. Kibbe! I have the worst time with History but Dr. Kibbe made it very accessible to pass this class. Syllabus, due dates, expectations are VERY clear. So long as you do what is needed you will pass. Weekly tests are timed short, but include extra credit questions. One 3pg essay was a big assignment, but not tough at all!

Dr. Kibbe was amazing! I took her class as a summer session, so we only had 5 weeks. It was quite a bit of reading per week, but doable. She answers any questions you could have and genuinely cares about the students. The quizzes were kind of stressful as they were timed but if you know your stuff, it's not too bad.

Dr. Kibbe is the best professor I've had so far. The discussion boards are very easy if you do a little research, exams are easy, and there's a lot of chances for extra credit. The class requires a textbook but she provides a link to a free PDF version of it. I only opened the textbook twice and still passed with an A! 100% recommended.

Extra credit is given in the class as well. This class is an easy A. There is a book required to read but you don't need to buy a textbook. Also, attendance is a grade so go to class.

Literally the best history teacher I've had. All exams are online. She will get upset if you walk in late (understandable) and she doesn't tolerate lazy students who sleep through the class. She is good at explaining the history, she pretty much sums up what we really need to know. There are plenty of off days to study for exams.

Love Professor Kibbe! She lectures well and gives a good amount of extra credit for showing up to class! Just as a general tip, when you download any professor's powerpoints, turn on presenter notes. In this class I printed the powerpoints with a portion at the bottom that shows the presenter notes, and they give a lot of supplemental information!!

I took Kibbe as an elective for my final semester It is actually course HIST 4306. She is a very tough grader and goes strictly off of her rubrics. She is not a good professor to ask help from she "Just assumed you understand" She does not have a lot of assignments. This class was not hard it was her.

The course is very organized. The only thing I disliked was how much reading was required... there's A LOT. Taking the course online makes it easy to get behind on reading, so I would probably recommend taking it in person. She responds pretty quick on email, so definitely email her if you have any issues.
