Comment:

By far one of the worst professors I've ever had. The thing that bothered me the most was that we would take our tests with a very vague idea of what they covered, she NEVER reviewed the study questions beforehand, then AFTER we took the test she would go over the material that the test was on... If you take this class all I can say is good luck.

She is a good professor. She retired in May 2015. She had a clear grading criteria. She's funny, has lots's of jokes, etc. She was a good professor and she added lots of discussions.

There are only 5 tests and she has a tough grading system. If you do poorly on the first 23 tests you most likely will not pass the class because no other work is given. Make sure you memorize the study guides and be very detailed on the tests otherwise your answers will not be counted also dont cross out things on tests because it wont be counted

Hated this class. I dropped out half way through bc i just couldnt deal with it. She does NOT teach. She comes in EVERY class 10-15 mins late, blabbers half the time about something off topic, ends class half an hour early. Biggest waste of time and money. When i went to talk abt my grade, she ENCOURAGED me to drop out & told me i had no hope.

She's a good professor. She can be late sometimes, but I guess it is the way it is. She gives you study guides that is basically your notes. She can be funny sometimes.

I swear to you not to take her , all she does is talk and talk and go off subject. Each class is like this : she's late 10 minutes then she will sit in a chair and talk about history , u will not learn just by listening.

Good teacher! If you actually read the hw and take notes its a breeze. She goes over the study questions and its the exact answers and questions from the sheet. She lets you use notes for the harder tests so take them! Make sure you come everyday and participate a little, shell bump your grade up a point or two if needed. Funny to!

A wonderful lady. She gives you the opportunity to take notes in class and ask questions when she's finished lecturing. The test part can be challenging at some point, but it's pretty self-explanatory.

She is okay, but you have to follow the notes in the class first. You have to read the notes, because she doesn't teach most of the time.

Nice lady. Just go over the notes and things will be fine, in my opinion. Can get off topic once in a while, but it's an okay class.

Comment:

Her being late doesn't really bother me. However does bother me is that shes not clear she murmurs a lot. Do the study questions and and take notes then you will do fine. But, try to avoid taking her! Don't make the mistake I made. I'm doing fine in her class not the best.

Comment:

She's not a great professor, so if you take her class, you will need to pay attention in class and take notes on her lectures, AND consult the textbook. It's a fairly easy class to pass if you try, but if you're looking for an easy class, pass on Professor Gray. I know a very large portion of my class failed looking for an easy grade.

Comment:

She shows up late a lot and gets off topic often. It is very important to take notes during her 'lectures' and do the study questions! If you do both you will pass. Towards the end of the semester she gets lazy just like students. I didn't mind having her as a teacher.

ALthough she is late a lot, she was a very good teacher. She told you exactly what material was gonna be on the test. Take notes and do her study questions and you'll pass with flying colors.

Comment:

Every class, she's late. She gets off track more a lot. She does not speak clear most of the time, and can be slightly offensive at times. The textbook she's assigned is unclear, matching her teaching style. Her lectures contain few knowledge gems that are on the tests, but you need to search through the rest of her lecture. Study guides are used.

Comment:

I do not recommend her at all. She wants things her way and her way only. She can't explain well whatsoever and just downright annoying. She sometimes goes off in class about the most random things. I love history but she managed to take that passion away from me a bit. Take any other professor besides her.
