Comment:

I took this course online over the summer. Horrible professor. The rubric wasn't clear, never answered my e-mails, never graded anything on time, never opened assignments on time. It was a horrible online experience, there was so much work even if it was a summer course. I would never recommend this professor to anyone for online.

WORST PROF I EVER HAD! I had her for America Gov at HCC Brandon for a 6-week summer course. She was consistency late, often 45+ min. She talks quietly and goes on long tangents, gives more opinion than fact, and revises the syllabus due to her falling behind. If you can repeat what she says in class and know a little about gov, it's an easy class.

I took this class at HCC in plant city. The lesures are long and boring but the work is easy. The final was the same as the study guide. Truly easy class but very boring teacher. Easy "A"

Ms. P is such a cool lady. She is one of the most laid-back professors I've ever had and all she really cares about is that you take something away from her class. I finished the class with an A, and I really wish I could have her as a teacher again. SUPER understanding and will make exceptions for you. ACCEPTS LATE WORK (Bless her heart).

Very unclear and confusing class. There is a syllabus, but she will post assignments and new discussion posts with now announcements. She waits until the very end of the semester to grade anything. She never answers back emails asking when things are due, or when our exam was going to be posted (which she posted days late.) Your book is the teacher

This professor is terrible, really. It's bad enough that the class was boring but she takes FOREVER to grade your work!! I mean, months, to grade a simple discussion. It's ridiculous, really. The class was fairly easy but so frustrating! I would not recommend.

Well, I decided to take her class based on the reviews. I got a good grade, but this class was so-so. Consider no communication, reply after a week, and does not answer the question(s). No real due dates. Quizzes are very easy, but the assignments are sometimes challenging. If you like working alone with your textbook, than take her class.

I took this class online, multiple choice questions, discussions, and 4 tests. If you do all the work, you will get an easy A. She is very understanding if you need extra time.Her main focus is that you understand US Gov't and I learned alot , you just need to read the book. I got an A

Online class. She is very poor with communication (takes literally weeks to respond, if at all) and doesn't post grades to her assignments. BUT..there are only 2 assignments all semester, a few quizzes you can complete in advance, and several (easy) discussions. Take her online, you WILL pass, just be prepared for NO communication skills

This class is easy if you have the time to do all the work. There are 15 quizzes and group discussions, and 3 separate essay assignments plus the final. You definitely need the book for this class, it will be your best friend!

Comment:

It's true there is a lot of work that needs to be done for this class, but to be fair it is a history class so you have to know what your getting yourself into. If you get the book and actually read it you will be fine, just give yourself time to do the work and you can get an easy A. Definitely take her class for the requirement!

This teacher is really easy! You will absolutely get an A in the class if you do all the work. There are about 15 quizzes that you take online, at home. You have 2 attempts to do each. I have not received lower than a B on any of them. You have 2 weeks to take each quiz as well. Taker her! You will get an A if you try.

this was the most stressful class i have ever taken since it is so unorganized....I must admit she is very understanding, they're basically no deadlines and the final is no longer the citizenship test, now its a 3 question essay test...the discussions are extremely controversial and i must admit i didnt learn much i got a B

Prof. P-M was a great prof. I took this class online, and she was concerned about her students. There is a companion website to the course located in webct. You can log into it and take the preTest and get them all wrong, and it will give u the correct answer. You can then go and take your weekly quiz for her class. THEY ARE THE SAME QUESTIONS..

EASY A!!!! took this class online for the summer and there are 15 quizzes, and 15 discussions, 5 assignments, and the final is the US Citizenship test.. Prof. PM is awesome..takes a while to grade but you also have the whole semester to work at your own pace. As long as you do all the work b4 finals ur good, you'll get an A too! :)

I was looking foward to this class and it was ruined for me. She would not keep up with our schedule and then gave us all our homework in the last 2 weeks....as if I don't need to study for finals. She is very sweet, but I didn't learn anything new, and she critisizes if you don't have prior knowledge.

Online class, a quiz and discussion per chapter, 2 responses per, 5 assignments, and a final. Get an Ebook with a search option to easily find questions on the quizzes. Final is the citizenship test, just google it and fill in the answers. I got an A!

I took a term A online class with her, got my grade in MAY! The final exam is taken right from the immagration website, it is the citizenship test! Says it on the top of the final. She is very careless if you want to learn nothing and get an A take her, if you want what you pd for pick someone else.
