It's important to note that easy classes do not equate to good classes. Take this class if you need easy credits. Avoid it if you're passionate about the subject.

The most professor I have ever had and will really work with you. She makes the material interesting and has Jings up, videos, and power points so that it isn't just reading in the book. Whatever your learning style is there is something in Professor Dodge's online classes to help you. I am so glad I took her class.

Uses a lot of videos in her class. Makes it go by faster. Takes an unusual approach to teaching her class, but is interesting and actually better than the conventional, chronological way. Very organized. Smart professor.

Comment:

Dr. Dodge is the best I loved her class. Is too interactive for just sitting there you must be involved. Also save you money and refrain from running out and buying all 15 books she assigns. Some of them are used in class once or twice. Make sure you do the optional study guides and take advantage of the extra work to bump class up to 300 level.

Her class totally filled in major gaps that are generally missing from history courses. Everything she assigns is informative and useful, no busy work.

Comment:

I used to hate U.S. history, but her class was so interesting. She makes everything so clear and she's always on top of things. She's very organized and incorporates a lot of movies. Great class, overall. A lot of note-taking, a few tests and some quizzes.
