tracy goes over every assignment weeks before it is due and gives u every chance to talk over concerns. she is straight-forward and very clear, but also very funny and intertaining in class. she looks for quality, not quantity, but tests are in essay form

This was one of the hardest but enjoyable classes I have ever taken. if you want to learn history this is the class to take, if you want an easy grade forget-about-it!

Took the second half of world histary from her in summer school. Kinda dull material but she wasn't boring. Plus it wasn't hard to get an A, but it wasn't just handed out for free. I'd take it again.

Good teacher, goes over everything multiple times to make sure everyone understands. She is anal about MLA format and writing correctly. Good teacher though

She'll grade your work like an English teacher. The class was cool, but she expects you to do tons of reading. You'll figure out her political bias quickly.

Excellent Teacher!

Made everything fun. Great Communication

Great teacher, took her for history and am retaking her for a theater class. Makes it interesting but is still not giving away the grade.

very great teacher

Yeah, it wasnt the easiest class, but she is SUCH a good teacher! If you actually want to learn and are interested in History I HIGHLY reccomend her.

she is a really good teacher, I loved her stories and her explanation of history, Very interesting. I can be boring listening to her but at the same time she's giving u the answers!!! So listen! She gives u a chance to prove what u leanred by essays, great study guide.

Ms. Davis is a very good prof. but she is also hard. If you are looking for an easy A, don't bother! But if you want to learn a lot, I highly recommend her. One thing I appreciated is that she is not here to indoctrinate you! She really wants you to think! I would take her again as this is truly a "University" level professor.

She isnt the easiest prof to talk to, she is really intimidating, if you just do the work and all the extra credit and come to class everyday you should pass noooo problem. SHe isnt that hard

I have taken 117 and 118 with Tracy. she is knowledgeable and orginized. Everything is broken down in the syllabus and you know what to expect. Test hold 30% of grade. I didn't always go to class or read text material but studied hard from exstensive study guide she gives and got B's both semesters. You will learn, it wont be easy, but worthwhile

Mrs. Davis is a great teacher. Her notes are exactly what is on the midterm and final. However do not go into theater arts thinking it will be easy. She is always very helpful

I thought Tracy was a superb teacher. She is knowledgeable, helpful, and organized. Don't expect her classes to be easy; there are many assignments and she expects quality work, but she is fair when grading and with some effort you should earn the grade you want. She?s also interesting and enjoys her subject. I would take one of her classes again.

I took her online course and I haven't received a low grade like this since early high school. She probably is a better teacher to take an on campus class, then online. At first she says to be specific and brief then later says you did not write enough. So you pretty much have to hope that what you put down on assignments, quizzes, tests suites her

I loved her class. I took it on campus and I learned to write better papers, anylise and synthisize needed info from the test and lecture. She is extreamly knowlegable and can answer any question regarding the subject matter. She is dedicated to her work and really appear to want you to succeed. Do NOT miss a day of class each day is important! :)

Auditory teaching method. Some film and visual aids. Lecture. Informative. Interacts with students. All essay exams. Work load is moderate. Available to students during office hours. Excellent with email communication. I enjoyed her class.

I took this online class because it's in my field of subject. Honestly, if it wasn't for my self motivation I couldn't have made it. Make sure to read the syllabus entirely. I missed one assignment and my percentage dropped 8%. Still ended up getting an A though.

Good teacher. You actually learn in her class. Not easiest grader. Makes it interesting, but at times talks and talks so you space out. Take notes, study and you'll do fine. Lots of writing in her class, exams are written and she grades like its an english class. She explains materials and assignments very clearly, so pay attention. Follow syllabus

She is a good teacher. She cares for her students and wants them to be successful. She expects students to be respectful and follow rules. Lots of note taking, read book, do the projects and you will be fine. The tests are hard if you do not prepare for them. It was my second semester back after 14 years and she grades hard but I did well.

I got an A. Despite the fact many of my papers had many errors. She doesn't like students leaving early and or just coming in to turn in assignments. Her tests are essay questions (W/ study guides) where you combine her lecture notes and the textbook. I lost my textbok and used the one in the library and still passed. Im taking her class again. :)

Great Teacher. It is not an easy A. You got to earn your grade. There is a good amount of work load. Reminded me of my English class in some ways. Make sure you don't skip class... it may not be mandatory, but you do receive points for coming to class.

To be fair, I love history. So, the ratings you see are coming from a person with a considerable bias. However, if you are a person who likes to write or is decent at writing and likes history, I strongly recommend this teacher. She is passionate and engaging with her subject. Her tests only have essay questions, there isn't any multiple choice.

One of the hardest teachers around but extremely good. Do not miss a class, you will miss something. She is crystal clear on all assignments and tests. Be prepared to pay attention and work though.

Had her for Women in U.S. History and LOVED it. There's quite a bit of work and studying to do, but her lectures are interesting and she connects them to modern events that we're more likely to be aware of. Her test study guides are lifesavers and she lets you choose your own term paper topic, so it was a lot easier to get motivated to do work.

She gives you every single ? that will be on the exam & how long each ESSAY should be. It is really easy to bull in this class. I knew few facts on topics, but made my essays longer by adding extras like "Ppl in that era were extremely cruel and unfair, It's just not rite" Got an A. Try taking a writing class 1st if ur not a strong essay person.

She cares a great deal for her students tests are straight forward but her expectations for her students sometimes cloud her judgement on the qualty work competed I got an 89.05% in her class and I did feel dissapointed considering I had done what I felt was A quality work. Her class is strenuous but u will truly learn the material

This class was extremely challenging. She is crystal clear on all her assignments and directions. This class made me spend entire weekends studying nonstop. Marked me down for clarity & grammatical errors, which were just commas that she decided to add for no reason. Why doesn't she teach English? Anyway I got an A. But it is HARD WORK

Her online class was super easy and straight forward. She had quizzes you could up to three times and her discussions are super easy as long as you read. She is a great teacher and grades things in a timely manner.

She is honestly a really great teacher, she seems passionate about what she does and really knows a lot. I enjoyed her class, but she has the worst grading system I've seen! I've gotten good grades on everything, missed one research paper and left the class with a C when I had a high B the entire class.

I am a history major so it was an enjoyable class for me and for an online class it was very crystal about instructions and such. She is a fair grader and gives great feedback. Warning she is very picky about grammar.

Professor Davis in my opinion was a great teacher. The class was no easy A, but she has a passion for her subject and that translates. Watch out though, all her tests are in essay form. If you go to class, pay attention, and do the work, you should be just fine.

Very good teacher. She loves what she teaches and the lectures were super interesting. I learned a lot of new things in the class. All written exams; however she gives you a study guide that has everything on the test. You have 2 book review essays and 1 research paper. Make sure you put commas where they need to be placed, she grades heavy.

She is energetic but her class is not interesting. It's disappointing that she teaches honors, I was expecting a lot more.

Took honors history 118 put the wrk in and got an A. Do the extra credit it saved me from getting a B in the class.

She was very clear in what she expected. As previously mentioned, she is a heavy grader, but if you put forth the effort and don't slack off, you'll get a good grade.

Very professional teacher, follows the syllabus. At fist I thought that this would be my easiest class, but it turned out to be the hardest.

This is a heavy reading class. Two textbooks, two book reviews, and a research paper. You'll get awesome study guides for all exams at least a week before the exam. I pulled out a B while working full time and taking care of my family. There are opportunities for extra credit too.

She is a wonderful professor. I've spoken with a number of my fellow students and we all believe she is terrific.

I HATE history and whats worse is she'll make you stay the entire time and won't allow food or drinks other than water. BUT, the way she relates to the material and explains it is great, like she was there & telling the story. I retained a lot & enjoyed it. Although strict, she was the best teachers I've ever had. Seriously. Highly recommend her!

She is an amazing professor and honestly not difficult at all, if you're looking for a teacher who expects virtually nothing from you in order to pass, Davis isn't the professor for you, she makes you work for it, but if you genuinely enjoy learning, you will really appreciate her and the books she uses, GREAT professor, take her!

Her lectures are long but they're interesting. She grades a little tough but is VERY explicit about what she wants. Not too much work, just two book reviews and a research paper. Her tests are pretty equally over her lectures and the reading so you have to do both. I liked her and would take again. HOWEVER DO NOT FALL ASLEEP IN CLASS!

She's an amazing teacher. Lectures are long but well worth it. You could probably pass the class solely on lecture but I wouldn't recommend. She is clear and comprehensive. It's difficult to leave the class without learning something. She's an amazing professor. The class is great and well worth it.

Most difficult class I've ever taken. Gained so much knowledge from her. Great professor. Get ready for hard, college level work.

Davis is a great professor. She gives great feedback and works with students to help improve their grades. Seriously, use her office hours.

Lectures are interesting but long. Class is a bit of work, 2 book reviews, journal, a term paper, and 2 exams. Study guide with questions about 2 weeks before closed note/book essay exam. She does provide lots of feedback on everything. She is clear about what she expects. Sometimes so clear it almost feels like she is talking down to the class.

Learned a whole lot in this class. Lectures are very dry, but also extremely informative. I don't recommend missing since a huge majority of the class is the lectures. Not a lot of homework as long as you keep up on journals and get everything done on time.

You definitely will know American History when you are finished. Great teacher and excellent lectures. Gives a lot of work but you learn so much from it.

Succinct. Perfect syllabus, you know what she'll expect. Lecture material informative. Lots of reading. Good feedback. I would take her class again, definitely one of my better teachers.

Overall, she is a great teacher. She grades rough, but if u pay attention to what she wants and u follow her directions u will be fine. She offers extra thing to boost your grade if you need it. She is willing to help you help yourself. You do have to work for it, not a class u can skip by in. This class will make u appreciate your hard work.

I took her for TA 101. Knows what she wants. I never used the additional information she puts on blackboard, mostly because I didn't even know it was there. (She does tell you though.) I remember her being specific about what she wants for her play analysis. Missed my midterm because of work, still managed to pass with a B by doing her extra credit

She was a great teacher. If you do all your work and study, the class is an easy A.

Do not let the negative reviews drive you away from taking this professor's class. Sure, she is a tough grader, but that is only because there are expectations of COLLEGE level students. Make sure your assignments are grammatically correct and the content is relevant to the course content/what she is asking of you to receive a decent grade.

At first i was nervous on taking this course due to other past experiences, but it was an okay class, she does grade hard during essay with grammer but at least i learn from it. Lots of reading though and discussion board but if you put the effort you should be fine

Make sure you pass you English 101. She is a hard grader when it comes to assignments. Testing is done on Canvas with three attempts. You should be able to pass this class with an easy A. Good luck.

I wouldn't describe this as the easiest course I've taken, but Professor Davis was always very clear and thorough about assignments, offered in class help and office hours. You will need to read, but as long as you do the readings, take good notes and read the syllabus, you will definitely pass! Also very knowledgable and funny in lectures!

Passing the class is simple: follow the syllabus. It is very thorough with all the due dates and assignments. She goes by the syllabus and rubrics strictly. I really enjoyed her class, she is extremely knowledgeable about her subjects which makes her lectures so interesting. She also leaves comments on every assignment which helped me get better!
