dr hurley is such a sweetheart. she's very outgoing and always in a good mood. shes so helpful. gives you a review w. the questions that will be on the midterms and the finals. its alot of reading but if you read you'll do fine. tape her lectures because sometimes it's a little fast paced, but i highly recommend her. im taking her for his 102. :)

she might seem hard at first!!!!! i think she tries to scare off some students!! but she is really fun and easy if you catch her method!

Wonderful Professor. Lectures are very clear and understandable. Post grades immediately online. I would highly recommeded this professor.

When i first met this teacher! i thought she was from another planet!!!!! she was straight forward about her method! and she scared people out!! but now i got a hang of her class! if you read her material, powerpoint and the book! you will be fine!! attendance is mandatory so don't miss class! and she gives alot of chances to make up your grades!

She's a chalenging professor, which is a good thing.Knows exactly what to do with her classes. Expects you to do the readings and prepare for quizes/presentations/jeopardy/finals.This is not HS! The hist of the westrn civ became much more interesting after her lectures. Totally taking her for 102.

Was worried when I read the reviews on here before the semester. While her class is hard, if you get to know her she is actually really nice/helpful. Her grading system is pretty great, I probably deserved a B and because of presentations/extra credit ended up with an A.

I took this professor for HIS 101 and at first i thought she was hard. Once i got the hang of things the work became easier. You MUST read her notes and the book to comprehend the work. She is a fair grader and i learned a lot from her class.

At first her class seems like it would be easy, but she really catches you off guard with the quizes! VERY tricky, but once you get the hang of her notes and reading the book frequently, class will seem much more enjoyable and easier for you. She is a very good professor, always willing to help, and every point counts! And she's a COUGAR!<3

Surprised to see so many unjustified comments about this professor! Lectures are crystal clear and grades are almost immediately posted on ANGEL. While the exams can be a little tricky, there are plenty of opportunities to redeem yourself. Honestly, if you're not willing to put in effort then just forget about getting a good grade!

She is a great teacher! class is not for the faint of heart though! be prepared to work your butt off! i loved this class and her. She is willing to help everyone and as long as your really making an effort she will consider that come grading! always print the slides and skim the reading. I wish i could take her again! Its a real college course!

She isn't a pushover by any means,but it's college. You won't get handed an A,but it's not as hard as people make it out to be.Do your homework,print the slides,and you'll do fine.She gives many chances to improve your grade,and grades on a point system.Grades are posted right away on ANGEL,and she's really approachable.

Dr. Hurley's tests are notoriously difficult, but overall she is by far the best professor I've had in my life. She DOES care about her students regardless of what others say. She may seem intimidating, but she tells you exactly what's up the first day, and if you stick to it and actually TRY, you'll actually LEARN. She changed my life! :D <3

This is a serious professor. Come to class, it matters. She gives a lot of work, but you do learn a lot, and her lectures are on par to a standard 4-year university. She is fair in grading. She is very helpful and kind, unless you are extremely immature. She gives you notes, uses angel, exams are alright.

Print the online quizzes now(11 pts)'cause they get annoying and won't help if you juggle classes at your own pace.Study them-answers/explanations,and you can read the book LESS.She's SO clear in her syllabus.Easy to pass, FAIRly hard to get an A.I personally preferred the few times she just lectured over PowerPoints. Overall I admire her teaching.

i learned alot from her. But her quizes are to hard and she don't let you leave to go to the bathroom she will take points off your grade and if you are texting she will take points off your grade this is my second time taking her class and i am not going well in it becuase her test are way to hard

Best teacher I had this whole semester. His 101 contains A LOT of info but she used slides and were clear about what to study as to make it easier. If you want an easy A take another subject all together. Fun course, loved it!

Power Point slides a must, especially for quizzes. Homework assignments are great for extra credit. Quizzes are fairly easy if you study the slides. Test are hard if you don't understand the subject. Teacher was clear on expectations. Everything is on the syllabus, so no excuses accepted. Overall, good, effective teacher.

Dr. Hurley is an amazing professor. She really loves teaching history, and she makes it interesting to learn about. Students that rate her poorly, dislike her because they are lazy and don't want to do any work.

Dr. Hurley is a very good COLLEGE professor. Sadly, this college is full of student-wannabes. They wanna be students, but don't want to do any work. "Bathroom breaks" in college. Seriously!? People get mad when she takes points off for texting in class. How about PAYING ATTENTION instead of texting!? I do the work and my grades reflect it.

Prof. Hurley is an amazing teacher. She grades fairly. ATTENDANCE IS A MUST. Book was very rarely used except for group presentations. She was very helpful and offers participation points at various times throughout the semester. TAKE HER CLASS SERIOUSLY. If she assigns self tests TAKE THEM the points DO ADD UP. very little homework

Prior to Dr. Hurley's class, I disliked History. After this class concluded, I realized how interesting it is. This is the mark of a great professor! She is very enthusiastic about the subject, thus her teaching is very effective. I did well because her notes are so precise. There are 5 quizzes, 2 group projects, a MT, & a FE. Highly recommended!

She's really sweet, but her class is pretty boring. She lectures the entire time. However, her class is really not hard, and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. I did not take one of the quizzes and still finished the semester with an A. Wouldn't take her again though, her lectures make you fall asleep!!!

Dr. Hurley is the best professor at UCC. She is approachable and makes her expectations very clear. She is always available to help and truly cares about her students. Go to class, pay attention and put in the effort and you will be rewarded. She always has great shoes :) She is a college professor, not a babysitter.

Professor Hurley is great! One of the most helpful, encouraging, and engaging professors @ UCC! Highly recommended. Be prepared to work & to learn because you will do both. This is college, it's not supposed to be easy. One of my favorite classes in college so far. Students will have to work for their grades but content it always interesting.

Dr. Hurley is an excellent professor! I have had the pleasure of having her as my professor in 2 classes: one in person and one online. In both classes I was given a syllabus, which clearly outlined the class requirements. If you want an excellent grade you must study and put all your effort into the discussion boards, exams, and the final paper.

This is a very straightforward course and if you're willing to put in the work you will most definitely pass. This has been one of my better online courses and the workload isn't crazy high. You can have a social life, focus on other classes, and still have time to do the assignments. Highly recommended to anyone who can only take online courses.

I took her class honors, and she is going to make you work. In-class lectures aren't too bad, plus her lectures are put online along with practice quizzes for review. Homework is frequent, but she is available and very willing to help if you go to see her when you're having issues. She may even remove assignments if enough students feel overwhelmed

Very in-depth slides (about 55 per chapter). Is able to summarize from textbook and also shed light into material not cover in the textbook. Quizzes on every chapter (10questionsper chapter ) and one essay (one page). Will give outline for midterm and Final. Final is not cumulative. Extra credit given out for last week. She will adjust grades.

Took her class in honors 101 and 102. Quizzes are easy if you study the powerpoints everything is laid out in front of you. She explains things in class if you don't understand and don't ask questions you'll fail. Her projects and essays are self explanatory if you're lazy and don't research then you'll fail. Loved her

This class is intense. However, you have to work hard in life for anything you want. You have to put in the time needed to read assigned chapters and hand in essays on time. You don't have to watch the videos if you read the chapters and study go over her power points. Read chapters assigned and review her power point. It prepares you for her test.

Lectures based on Power point. Don't take this class if you don't enjoy reading. Easy class as long as you stay on top of the reading. She gives a lot of extra credit if you need it. If you take this class lightly you won't do well. Overall it really is an interesting class if you like history.

I had the pleasure of taking Dr. and she is by far an excellent professor. Her lectures are filled with information but she makes it easy to follow and encourages participation. She has high expectations and will recognize the effort you put forth. Plenty of extra credit assignments which is always a plus.

excellent teacher, very nice and relaxed but strong and passionate about her job. loved her ways of teaching and how she is understanding and very easy to talk to. love her sense of historical/nerdy humor!

This was an intense online course. She doesn't play around, it's true. But the subject was interesting and she was very clear about how she graded,

She was very engaging and it was clear she truly enjoyed teaching this class. Though it was an online lecture, she expected us to work in groups for certain chapters and really tested your knowledge of the material. You definitely have to study and study her notes to pass this class because she is VERY specific. Overall enjoyed being her student.

She's good, she's really nice, if you need more time for a paper, she can give more time, but you HAVE TO participate in the class, she calls by name and ask you questions about the class. She gives papers instead of exams, but the exam is easy if you study and pay attention to the classes. Be prepared to weekly discussions and group presentations.

Dr. Hurley make class interactive. There are a few group projects in this class, but she's very fair as long as you put in some effort. She gives plenty of extra credit as long as you participate. Chapter Tests every Friday night are the only true homework other than the group presentations and debates.

The only people I know that didn't like her class were very lazy. This is college, if you think this class is difficult then you might as well try going back to high school.

Awesome Professor! Really enjoyed her class and learned a lot about Western Civilization. Would without a doubt take her again, only reason I didn't is because she doesn't teach 102 without Honors!

Dr. Hurley's class was my absolute favorite the material was interesting her lectures were engaging and the group assignments were dare I say fun. I'm a huge history buff and there was never a boring moment in her class. But she did assign a lot of work and she was a strict grader. If I wasn't such a history buff I probably wouldn't have done well

Very interesting class. It is a lot of work but that is just the course. She gives great lectures. 3 Group projects.

She can come off as a bit stern, but she has great intent. She keep things 100% and is very professional. She's also very understanding, if anything is going on in your life that is preventing from being present for a day or two, explain to her in email. She has a heart. It was a fun class overall with the weekly debates and presentations.

You can get an A in this class if you study all the test your knowledge questions at the end of the slideshows For the exam you should and be able to answer the big idea questions at the start of each section on the online textbook. You will be happy with the knowledge you gained after taking this class
