Comment:

Tests were difficult. I hardly know how to make it through without group study. But I really appreciate that there is only one essay without citation. My 1301 professor required three essays with citations and used Turnitin to check plagiarism. I was stressed out, because English is my second language.

Comment:

The professor sounds easy and chill in class, but when it comes to tests, it is more difficult. She said that she won't look for perfection for the paper which sounds easy, but that's not true. She grades so hard.

Professor Fry is a wonderful professor. I am not good at history but she made this so easy and enjoyable. The homework is all in handouts, the tests were few and made to pass and raise your grade, and the lectures were easy. Take your notes and study her reviews and this class is an easy A.

Mrs fry is one of my fav professors at hcc! Her lectures are awesome and is very passionate about history. She does grade a bit tough on written assignments, so dont expect an easy A. Her reviews are almost like her exams, except for one or two things. Read the book bc that is 20% of total grade! Definitely recommend,will be taking her for 1302!

Comment:

I have no idea why this prof got a lot of positive reviews. I mean she is a nice professor but her test is REALLY hard. For one time I looked at other students test scour, most of them got 60 or 70, few of them got 80, and only one or two got above 90. I worked so hard to get an A for this class. If you want to get an easy A, don't take her.

The professor is so hard. She might sound easy but the tests are hard. Some of the questions are not from the review list, so be careful.

Very sweet and caring. If you show that you're willing to learn and take notes she will do her best to help you when you needed. She's very sweet and kind and I loved her class this semester. She is a tough grader, given this is a college level class you're expected to think critically and have good writing skills. Taking her in 1302!!

One of the best professors ever!! I took her for 1301 and 1302 at 8am and i enjoyed her lectures! Homeworks consists of reading like paragraphs online and just answering questions, it was easy. The tests literally comes from the notes! We has to read two books but they were interesting! Dont stress out!

She's AMAZING! If you're planning to learn something in history, take her; however, if you want an easy A, avoid her at all cost. She's a tough grader and her tests are really hard. Textbooks are needed but I didn't really use it in Hist 2, just hist 1. Surprisedly, I received A's in both History 1&2, but I studied a lot. Overall, she's amazing.

She was a great professor. She ALWAYS dismissed us early in her Mon/Wed class, and the class was really simple. She doesn't use canvas, but theres TONS of extra credit it's hard not to make an A. Honestly, as long as you attend her class and do the worksheets/readings she gives you there's no reason you can't make an A.

She was incredible. Took her for a Saturday class and she let us out early every time. Ms. Fry is very kind and funny at times too. She also gives lots of extra credit. There are 2 novels that she tests you on. Textbook was not needed. Instead she gives an Outline of about 70 pages to be printed out, followed by the documents, (homework)

Professor Fry is a Great professor, though her exams and quizzes are open book, but if you do not take good notes its useless. She grades differently , meaning she uses her own grading system . you will have to read two novels for the class, they are short and the questions are easy to answer. I got A for 1301 and B for 1302.

Lite HW. Tests are not as direct in the answers, yet it's easy to get bonus pts (excessive Extra Credit). She's knowledgeable making history fun. No class participation, great 4 shyness. Watch movies every day & NO ESSAYS. No books needed except HCCs rentals(w/ credit given on return) read it w/ youtube & another is a comic-bk. She prints work 4U.

She's so cool and caring. I love her lectures, she makes it interesting and simple. NO ESSAYS! However, she did give out HW which wasn't extreme difficult.
