Comment:

She is a great professor. I think she really cares about what she is teaching and that we do well. It's mostly exams, there's no homework but you should at least skim the book. She gives study guides for the exams and that is mainly what is on it. She gives tons of extra credit opportunities and attendance counts. I would take her again.

Comment:

This class was always such a chore to get through. She talks very slowly and dramatically, but mostly only says what is on the powerpoint (which is on blackboard, but attendance is mandatory). I did not learn much. She also loves to complain about little things that don't matter and don't pertain to class.

Comment:

She is great. Go to class and take good notes during the lecture, review them a few times, and you will get an A on the tests. 3 tests, 2 papers, final, and 20 points for attendance. Offers up to 20 points of extra credit (watching movies and showing your voter ID for 5pts each) any time before the final. She does tell irrelevant stories sometimes.

Comment:

She is a funny old lady, tells a lot of history stories. This class has a total of 4 tests, 2 papers, and 20 participation points. If you miss more than two classes you automatically get 15/20 on participation and if you miss more it will rapidly decrease. She also offers 20 points of extra credit. Her tests are short answer and multiple choice.

Comment:

This professor gives study guides and extra credit. You will have to work hard for your grade and read the book, which is usually expected. She is nice and her lectures are helpful. My class had 400 points possible. Attendance is graded for 25 points total. The rest was on three test, a final, and four papers. So, your grade is mostly based of test

Comment:

The class has few points, so it's important to go to class!! The tests are easy enough IF you study and read the textbook! Study guides are given, but you have to put in time to looking up detailed answers. Had to study a lot for tests, but the other assignments were fairly easy. You also get 5 extra credit points just for showing you voter id!

Professor O'Neal was a great History teacher. she made her lectures entertaining and was able to capture my attention. Her tests are not too hard compared to other history professors. She has a ton of extra credit opportunities. I would take her again if it was an option!

Comment:

I do not like history whatsoever. It was very test oriented class with a few scattered papers in-between. The papers were analysis papers that had to have a very specific writing choice. Was not the biggest fan of her teaching style.

The information for the tests come straight out of her PowerPoints that she presents in class and you take notes on. Overall a straight forward, easy class.

Tests are in depth, need to know a lot about the material. Gives 20 points worth of extra credit. Attendance was also worth points. Gives good lectures.

Comment:

Honestly, just don't take her. She's bearable, but definitely in my bottom 3 of every teacher I've ever had. She's rude to students and treats us like we're stupid if we don't know the answer. Test questions are confusing and worded weird and her notes are not helpful whatsoever. Wouldn't take her again!

Comment:

Delightfully humorous and cynical perspective brings what could be dull lectures to life. She likes interacting with students during lectures. Gives study guides for tests. Papers never over a page in length, although she is fairly particular on grammar. If history doesn't come naturally to you, follow her clear expectations and you'll be fine.

She made history interesting. She gave her lectures with a dramatic flare, which I appreciated since the course material can easily become dry. She was always extremely clear about exactly what she wanted in her assignments.

Great Professor, I skipped three class periods and passed with an A-. If you show up and have any measurable memorization skills you'll pass. we read two novels and did papers for both, she graded fairly and her tests are not that difficult.

Worst professor I've ever had. She is not helpful at all. If you do not understand something don't expect to go to her for help. She's very rude if you do poor in the class. Study guides do not help at all.

Tests are brutal and classes are boring... I study my ass off for the tests, make 5-10 page study guides for myself based off her study guides, and I still fail... I'll be lucky if I even get a D. ALWAYS SHOW UP FOR CLASS. And do not sign up for an 8am class.... you will fall asleep.

I absolutely hate history but Dr. O'Neal made it interesting! Class is definitely not easy-I had to study like crazy for tests. Does offer extra credit. 3 tests, 1 paper, and a final. Gives study guides. Tests are multiple choice, matching, and fill in the blank. Be prepared to study!!
