Comment:

Attendance is not mandatory, but if you dont show up you need someone to send you notes. Lectures tend to get boring because all you do is listen to her talk. The class also has only 3 test and one paper that is graded. If you aren't good at taking tests - dont take this class.

Comment:

Dr. Brady is one of the best professors I had in my freshman year. Although I didn't like her class at first (because you just listen to her - no slideshow), I started to like the dynamic of the class later on. The only thing that I wish the class had more it's grading (2 exams, 1 final, 1 essay) because those are the only things to get graded on.

Comment:

Dr. Brady was fun and had great lectures. Some topics can be dry but she makes them fun. She has 2 papers but only makes you do one. She provides study guides for exams, which will include lecture and textbook material. Even though attendance is not mandatory, she does not post lectures or notes from each day, so showing up every day is a good idea

Dr. Brady is a really nice person but she only talks during her lectures while you have to take notes based off what she says. This class you have to go everyday and be prepared to watch your grade suffer.

Dr. Brady is great, she is a great speaker and the classes are interesting. Tests are super straight forward and she tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the test. Probably don't have to go to every lecture either.

Going to this class was like listening to an hour long story about history everyday, which was really nice. Her lectures don't include slides though, so it's up to you to decide what is important to write down. Got out of class early at least once a week. Good choice for an AUCC credit.

Comment:

Dr. Brady is a very nice professor, but I really do not care for her teaching style. Sure, anyone can get an A, but easy A or not you won't learn much from the course. She rarely pauses in her lectures, giving you no time to comprehend what was just said. No lecture slides either. If you actually take your education seriously, avoid this professor.

Comment:

Dr. Brady is one of my favorite history professors. She is very knowledgeable about the material. Her class is lecture-based, and she rarely includes more than pictures in her powerpoints. The class is straightforward as long as you show up to class and take decent notes.

Comment:

I thought she was a great professor and knew a lot of details about all of the time periods. I think using three books for an intro history class is unnecessary because I rarely even touched them. She was kind of a tough grader on the papers but if you go in and ask her about it shell usually raise the grade.

Comment:

Does not have lecture notes only way to take notes is to listen to everything she says, the class she taught was history from 1876 to now but on the last day of class we were only up to the 60s & she didnt cover all the material on the final exam. Yes shes nice but she could have taught the class much better.

Comment:

Dr. Brady was great! She is extremely thorough in her lectures and clearly knows a ton about American history. Going to class is really important; she doesn't post her lectures online (they're all pictures anyway so it wouldn't be that helpful anyway) and she'll occasionally throw in some extra credit opportunities while you're there!

LOVED her, she is brilliant and knows every little detail about history. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you show up and take notes the class is honestly a breeze. She gives good study guides and is all around an awesome lady.

Dr. Tracy Brady is a very enthusiastic teacher and really loves history. Her lectures are done through a powerpoint, but each slide only has a picture on it so you have to pay close attention to get good notes. Although attendance isn't mandatory, I would highly recommend not skipping class.

Tracy is my favorite professor at CSU! She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed! I wish I could take even more classes with her because I learn so much. She is a lecture style teacher (which I love) and speaks clearly and slowlybut I would't necessarily recommend her if you are someone who needs powerpoint slides to copy down.

I enjoyed the lectures cause they kept my attention. You are able to get most of the information for the exams from your notes from the lectures but sometimes you need to look into the textbook to get a bit more information.
