Comment:
She is hard to understand, but a caring teacher. Her tests are online and barely cover what she talks about in class. Sometimes the test will ask questions about random chapters in book. She is very unorganized. If you are looking for a class with online test here you go but show up to class because attendance could cost you a letter grade.

I had her online and in my opinion, she's a good teacher. She replied to all of my emails in a decent amount of time and answers my questions. For 121 she uses launchpad instead of canvas but it was easy to use. Her discussion questions really make you think but it helps get a better understanding of the material. Just do the work and do your best.

She is there to help her students anytime she can. You must attend because she will take attendance every class for a grade. She can sometimes be all over the place but she is a wealth of knowledge. She is very qualified and History majors really should take advantage of her knowledge and experience.

Dr. Carls is easily one of the most compassionate professors on UTM's campus. Her courses can be difficult at times and she does move quickly, but she challenges you. She's a qualified educator and even better, she's a wonderful human being.

I took Alice Catherin Carls for History 122. She was amazing!!! Very help full. Any questions she is gladly to help. Be prepared to participate in discussion board. We usually covered 2 chapters a week but I like it finished before Spring Break.

Dr. Carls is an amazing teacher. She truly cares about her students and whether we pass or fail, she is incredibly kind. I would recommend her as a teacher. However, this is not an easy class, you are expected to know the chapter before coming to class and lectures can be rather long.

Comment:
This is my second class with Carls. Write down everything. Sometimes tests come from seemingly insignificant details, but they are always online and they are very short and simple. Takes a few days to get past her accent. She is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and passionate. Do the work, write the paper (Zotero!), go to class, and you'll do well.

Comment:
Love her as a person, but as a professor... She requires you to read the chapter before class and take an online quiz (not hard). During class, she rambles, and you can't skip because attendance is mandatory. What she talks about and what the quizzes are over are NOT on the test. Those are KILLER. The info on the test is small details in the book.

Attending the class was pointless. you must read a chapter before each class and take an online quiz, which are eazy. The test are online but they are extremely hard. I would not take Carls again if i could keep from it.

She's not a meaan lady, I'm sure she is great, but avoid her class at all costs. She insists on teaching from th ebook , but she doesn't know how to use it. All her tests and quizes are done throught the book's publisher and the pull information that may have been mentioned in one sentence. I love history and I am not doing so great in this class.

Comment:
She was a horrible teacher. No gum or hats aloud and if you have gum she will point you out real quick and tell you to spit it out. I couldn't understand her. She was not easy at all. It was all online and I gained nothing from her. Do not take her she at sometime will embarass you in class. She is rude

Comment:
She is a great scholar, and perhaps a good online professor. She writes all the lectures on blackboard. In the classroom, such is not the case. Great scholars are not always great teachers. It's not that she's mean or anything. She's actually quite nice if you're respectful of her rules. She just doesn't connect with the majority of her students.

I took this class on-line and she was great. Very clear expectations and assignments. She answered email quickly and offered help when needed. The tests are hard and you do have to read the material but I would take her class again
