Best professor I've had at LBCC so far. I want to do Accounting but now I'm really considering studying history. Her tests are easy if you do her study guides, she has a couple big essay projects that take some time, but besides that it's a pretty chill class.

Dr. Crispin was a great professor for Women's history. She is very passionate about the subject. Her discussion boards to start the week are always fun and always something silly or interesting. Assignments were not hard, one discussion board and one assignment a week and a notes packet for the whole semester. Love her def recommend !!!!

Watch the lectures and do all of the assignments. Not for the grade - it's truly an incredible course, and I've never been more thankful. For students that love learning but don't always feel comfortable or have the time for a classroom experience - She's beyond wonderful. Both online and face-to-face, just click "Enroll" and I promise, no regrets.

I took Dr. VCP (and professor Gary) for both HIST 10 and 25 in the fall, both being online. The courses are a lot of fun and can be a lot of busy work, however, it's never boring! The podcast she provides are so fascinating. Btw, no tests! Just some note packets, fun discussions, quick writes, and projects. Bless her for her leniency in late work!

Great class! There are podcasts and class discussions based on those. Professor assigns weekly readings and the lectures are very interesting and engaging. There is also a project at the end of the semester, as well as a written assignment for your "final." Overall I recommend this class and would take another class with Professor Crispin-Peralta.

I loved this class! I took it last year as a sophomore and it was great. The work is not difficult at all and if you have an A and no missing work you do not have to do the final. The lectures are truly interesting. I definitely recommend this class!

Vanessa is an amazing teacher. She gives great feedback on every assignment, which is 4 every week (during summer class at least). It's the second asynchronous class I've taken at LBCC and she made it amazing. I would definitely recommend her, not only for her knowledge but her understanding nature. Super easy!!

One of the best professors I've had, such a caring and genuine educator. It is so refreshing and rare to have a teacher who is genuinely passionate about what they teach. Assignments were easy but very educational. Would take this class 100 times again if I could. 10/10 recommend this course.

Love love love love the prof. She's so sweet and wants to get to know her students. Took an 8 week course and every week it starts with a fun question not related to the class, an example like what's your fav drink n such. Make sure to do the notes the week of, its ez to fall behind n get lazy. Overall really ez class and interesting!

Extremely straightforward class. Work is made up of notetaking on lectures/articles/videos, annotating podcasts, writing assignments, and class discussions. Professor is quick to grade and always leaves feedback. So long as you keep up with the work, you're set.

Professor Vanessa is probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. She made history fun and enjoyable. I learned so much without the use of lots of tests. Just like sitting down with a friend and talking history. I loved her. Take her classes !

One of my favorite professors ever. Caring in and out of class. Would have discussions outside of class because I connected so much with the content and she was always there to talk about it. Incredibly easy to be passionate about material. Would take again in a heartbeat. I took the Pride Scholars Colonial American History class at LBCC

I took Dr. P for the last 8weeks and this course was the BEST and most easy sailing AND Educating I've enjoyed and ever took. She has GREAT topics regarding women of color and the history of women with society. Make sure to do Assignments and you will pass. Give the assignments the interest they deserve and you'll pass for SURE! THANK U DR. P :)

Currently waiting for feedback (7 days later) to clarify the rubric req. in these assignments. No response on any provided mode of communication. Walking into the next assignment not knowing if I'm doing the work correctly. Lectures are great. You'll hate the 'Note Packet' if you're already an avid note taker. Rely on AI?(Ew)You'll love this class.

literally the best professor ever. made the class so interesting and provided such great material. her teaching style is so lenient, yet allowed me to learn so much and digest all of the content well. cannot express enough that you should take this class with her.

She's amazing! It wasn't too much work for a summer class, but it was enough to where I deeply understood the topic and learned a lot. She keeps it interesting while covering all the important topics and then some. She's kind and her grading system is lenient, but that doesn't mean you can slack off. I'd recommend this class to anyone and everyone.

Super sweet person! It is almost impossible to not get an A in her class. Every class she had snacks for students to get. No exams or quizzes. Only one group assignment towards the end of the semester.
