Comment:

Ms. Bell is a caring and dedicated teacher. She wants he students to pass and succeed; she will work with you in order for you to pass. She grades by very few things, so do the easy assignments and you'll pass. Don't come to her two days before the assignment is due and expect an extension shes not difficult shes fair. Take Ms. Bell for an easy A!

Comment:

Professor Bell is very nice, I took her for History 109 AA, European History. It is mainly just a lot of lectures, I can think of 3 papers I did the entire semester, and 1 crossword puzzle, that was it for assignments. She knows the subject very well, and cares about all her students. I recommend picking this teacher if you want a nice teacher!

Professor Bell is really nice and cares about her students. She's very funny and quirky at times. I highly recommend her class if you want to take a class that's really chill and easy. Only a few writing assignments and her quizzes are crossword puzzles. Easy A. Her finals aren't cumulative either.

She's a nice professor. Only things you have to worry about is chapter reflections that she assigned that's on the syllabus. At the start of class, she does a "daily check-in", which is like current events going on in the world and we talk about them. She lectures for a majority of the class time.

Comment:

She's a really nice, chill and an enthusiastic professor but her class is kinda boring. I find her class easy so I recommend it. She barely gives any assignments and crosswords count as a quiz grade. She doesn't give any tests and the final was a timed write.

This class is all lecture and notes. You are only graded on about four or five assignments. Overall pretty easy. The teacher is very interactive when it comes to questions from students.

Comment:

Lectures were interesting but at times off topic. You need to read the material and take detailed notes in order to be prepared for the final. Make use of the office hours! She definitely doesn't hesitate to offer her help. History in general is difficult to grasp in a few weeks so the trick to passing her class is to really listen to what she says

Nice professor! Her class was easy in the beginning as we only had two papers and a crossword puzzle totaling 155 points. During this time, I had a 100 percent but after her TAKE HOME multiple choice test/finals I'm hoping to pass with a C! This is because she sets her standards based on other students papers. Mind you that I was a 4.0 student:((

Literally the best history teacher I have ever taken! She's so funny and makes history easy to understand. I recommend using the library book she provides. Take notes during lecture. Sign-in sheet. 2 homework papers, take home midterm, 3 papers for final. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED :)

One of the best History teachers I've ever had. She not only teaches class about historical events that occurred but historical events in contemporary times as well. Ms. Bell will teach you so much just participate in class.

For this class you'll need to read because she assigns papers that relate to the book. I would recommend renting it or buying it cheap from Amazon if you're not a history major.

I've taken four of her classes. For me, I've never needed to read the text book very much. Just pay attention to her lectures and write down notes from her power point.

Comment:

I've read that a lot of people don't like her or had to drop her class, but for that was the opposite. She was very encouraging and rarely gave tests. Yes, she goes off topic but ultimately she gives you good info. For the finals you can use all the notes that you've taken in the class.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER! I had to drop her class because her teaching style was bad and would often go off topic. Shes a funny teacher but will expect a lot from you. Also she isn't clear about homework or any given assignments so it didn't help me at all. Many students dropped her class so i would not recommend.

Comment:

I like Bell as a person, but dislike teaching style, especially if you are looking for a simple history class to fulfill GE requirements. Seldom gives assignments and gives vague instructions, then becomes upset when you haven't followed a specific format. Class consists of long lectures nothing to do with the reading. Misleading class expectations

Comment:

-Doesn't use email to notify about cancellations. -Oftentimes, lectures have virtually nothing to do with the class(off topic, tangents). -She doesn't make clear study guides for tests or even the final . -The lesson progression too slow so the class was left to read the material on their own for the final. I recommend you read the book everyday

Professor Bell was great. she is willing to clarify any questions and is always ready to help her students. Her lectures are fun because she involves the students. She doesn't give much homework but you NEED to read the textbook and take thorough notes to do well in her class. I Learned a lot in her class & would take her again.
