She's so cool.

She kept the subject, which is normally a boring one, interesting and entertaining. Learned a lot more than textbook history. She does her research for her lectures

Amazingly useful for a busy schedule person.

Best Damn Professor I've ever Had! Her style is the way all college courses should be taught. I learned a lot of interesting things about history of America

She was a very good teacher. She's not a "put you to sleep" kind of a professor. I learned a ton about American History in this class! Very interesting.

She was a great teacher - I recommend her to everyone. She doesn't have great personal skills, but the class was really interesting and I learned alot. The tests were all take home - just make sure to take alot of notes.

Excellent Professor! Knows everything there is to know about the subject. She's a Thomas Paine expert. I would recommend her classes to anyone.

First, Dr. Vickers (Miss Dr. Vickers if you're nasty) is a total hotty McHot-Hot. Second I have never learned as much about anything anywhere as I did with her. Finally, she rocks my history world, American style!

Great professor. Very cool. Actually made the class fun.

Good Teacher! Class is all lecture and notes, with a few extra credit assignments and 2 TAKE HOME TESTS! She knows her stuff and is a very good lecturer, I learned a lot. She is rather strict though (turn off cell phones, or you'll get yelled at).

She is a great professor that really knows her stuff. As long as you are a good note taker, this class is great.

Everything is based off of notes. Easy class. If you can find someone to get notes from you will never have to come to that class.

First of all the test arent take home. They are open notes though. The class is easy, she teaches well.

I can't express in words my admiration for Dr. Vickers! Dr. Vickers is a true intellect; her lectures reflect her historical expertise and true passion in the subject. Her lectures are NEVER biased; you know you are receiving accurate information and can formulate your own opinions. Although hist is not my fav, I recognize Dr. Vickers as THE top!

Class lectures were good she had a totally different perspective about history than I had ever heard. Great up until about the fifties and then suddenly every President who was from her part was a God-send and the other party's presidents were complete trash. That happens a lot at a college but made her seemed biased. Doesn't answer questions.

SUPER easy! just go to class, take notes, then use them on the tests. if you fail, you're an idiot and you have no one to blame but yourself.

Vickers is great! She is direct and interesting. Big classes make it hard to hear if you are taking notes. Sit at the front. She even allows laptops if you sit in the back. A lot of notetaking but she also allows tape recorders. A lot of people used them.

this is the easiest class i have ever taken. all you have to do is show up, take notes and then use those notes on the test. i don't see how people don't like her. if you need an easy 'A' and want to learn a little something along that way, take this class!

Her lectures were very interesting and fun to listen to. No homework or assignments, 3 test 50 questions each. Either you pass or fail

She does not let you use your notes with tests. She does talk fast, so record her lect. She can be aloof, not stuck up, my fellow students, it?s not all about you. Extremely qualified, if you want to write better and learn something then take her class.

Vickers is very organized and does expect some critical thinking from her students. Her exams were all essay and were very hard but they prepare you for your upper division classes. She lets you redo the first exam if you do bad. I thought her lectures were clear and interesting but she is a fast talker. I liked the class but it was hard!

I have never learned so much from a history teacher. I look every semester in hopes she's teaching something else I could take. i love her lecture style, since I'm not a reader. I loved her tests and study guides. Study guides make it easy to what you should be listening for in classes. I'm not sure why everyone dislikes her. Really. I LOVED it.

I took HIST 1700 last semester from Gene Sessions and got a C- and I worked my butt off. I took this class online this semester and got an A+ This class was so easy I LOVED it! It reminds me of a English class because you read books and write papers and journals. This is probably one of the BEST classes I have ever taken and I hate history. AMAZING

I loved the online class. It was pretty easy. I'm not a fan of history, but this class was great!

I took this class online. There were no tests, just reading and essays. It was very simple as long as you did your reading. She must have changed her cirriculum from previous years, because I see some students mentioning exams. There were no tests.

This class was so easy. There were no tests, just reading and writing. The writings were super easy. The longest paper was 500 words. As long as you know your deadlines you'll be fine. If you Dont like history but need this class, I recommend the online class from her!

Look I have been reading a lot of negative reviews about Dr. Vickers, most that she is rude. She is not rude, but she will not let you get away with poor grammar and not knowing what you are writing about. She is a good professor that teaches her students good writing and professionalism. Take her class if you love history and want to learn.

Took this class online so you use the book alot. She is a good teacher and the material and sites she has you do your papers from are very interesting. Loved this class learned alot! Second class I took from Vickers and will take another one anytime. She does want quality work so if you think can slide by she'll catch you!

I took her online class and although it wasn't that tough I felt like she was more concerned with how your citations looked and you used them rather the lesson being taught. You write papers constantly, but they aren't that long.

Took the online class, there were a lot of essays to write, but really easy, as long as your grammar was correct.

This course was super easy, you answer two questions per chapter each having to be only 200 words. There are 26 chapters. Sounds like a lot but it was only two chapters a week. No quizzes and no Final. Just one essay at the end with a total of 750 words. Easy A.

Yes, she is a tough teacher. She doesn't play favorites, and she doesn't hold hands. But she is fair and she knows her stuff. Four short-answer exams, two 6-page papers, and one course portfolio project (don't procrastinate that one!). She is a hard grader, but her expectations are not unreasonable. I would take her again.

I know Dr. Vicker's isn't for everyone, but I think she is a great professor. Her expectations are not unreasonable: three short response papers and three short answer exams, plus extra credit. She has a high B.S. detector, but if you are going into the field of history, she will make you a better historian. I'm really glad I took this course.
