Professor Styles is AMAZING! She loves teaching and it shows in how she responds to my emails. She has never hesitated to respond quickly and is never rude about any questions. I just adore her! I wish she could teach all of the classes at Valencia College because you are actually learning something and enjoying it! I hope she never retires!

Karen Styles is an amazing professor. She is thorough and detailed in all her lectures , she makes sure you understand the material and she is kind and easy going. However, in order to do well in this class or in any class, one must do the work and study.

BRO i love her. i just had her for intro and now i want to have her for late roman and medieval. As long as you do her work and pay attention while she lectures (which isnt hard because she makes everything very interesting) youll pass with an A no doubt.

Comment:

I took Prof. Styles over the summer period so it was a little sped up but it was still easily managed with taking other classes. Her lectures and additional content via youtube videos are great. She gives you questions to answer as you watch the videos or read the chapters and most of the quiz questions come from those. Overall great professor.

I would totally take this professor again! I have taken her for intro and just finished having her for Greek and Roman Humanities. The material is presented to you in an understandable manner. You know what assignments are due for the whole term via syllabus. 10/10 professor.

Prof. Styles is a great professor! I took her online intro to humanities course and it was so easy! There are 2-3 20 question quizzes each week as well as a discussion board. It was super easy. I never got lower than a 90 on any assignment. She isn't a tough grader, super understandable and replies within the next day via email. I HIGHLY Recommend!

You will read 1/3 of the Odyssey in the class and answer tons of questions, but it was actually really fun. She teaches in such a way that it stays in your head and you don't even need to memorize it. Study for tests and you'll do fine. About 3 big writing assignments, mostly in class work and online quizzes. About 4 in class tests.

Comment:

Styles is an easy going and kind prof. She cares about her class. She has a few writing assignments, but nothing ever more than 500 words, and tests come straight from the practice tests. Textbook is mandatory, but it's cheap and easy to understand. All material comes straight from the textbook. Attendance is mandatory, but class is easy and fun.

Comment:

At first I heard so many good things about this professor,but then when in the class its a different story. Her test contain crazy amounts of information that she doesn't sometimes cover . Also she assigns papers with the hardest topics based on specific details and goes over the paper once and gives test study guides only a couple days ahead.

Amazing Teacher! Took her online (Which I think was her first time as she said), and the class was absolutely amazing! The work was really easy, she gives you study guides for ever quiz and test, and the discussion posts really got me thinking! I really enjoyed this class and everything I learned from it! Take this professor, she's fantastic.

Karen Styles is great. She lectures every day; there are occasional group assignments in class. Homework maybe once every two weeks. She is interesting and easy to learn from. I find her to have a great sense of humor. Highly suggest.

Professor Styles is THE best professor that I have had in my entire time at Valencia. She is a very natural teacher so listening to her lectures is just like listening to someone tell a story. She knows how to teach you so that you'll remember the material. As long as you pay attention you are sure to pass her class with an A.

Took her during the summer. Very relaxing class. I learned a lot and I sat in the way back. Pay attention to her, her lectures are interesting and she is very good at making analogies to understand her completely. Quizzes were once a week, very easy if you just complete the study guide (answers are in the book you just need to read).Would recoomend

Comment:

Prof Styles is probably the best teacher at valencia. She keeps her students up to date with assignments. She is a fast grader, normally in blackboard within a couple days of turn in( if not the next day). Straight forward in tests and connects with the students. She makes the information easy to understand, even though the information is hard.

Prof Styles is an amazing teacher. She takes so much pride on what she does and her lectures make you interested in the class. She is very knowledgable and straight forward with assignments. She is hillarious too. There are several assigments but pretty easy ones. I highly recommend her and I would absolutely take her again if I could.
