Comment:
Her class is really boring. She is very strict and very hard to talk to. A lot of people dropped out of this class. Grade is based off exams, the midterm, and the final. She drops the lowest exam score. Extra credit is up to 10 points. No hw. Her study guides often help. I do not highly recommend this professor only if your willing to study hard!

Seems good in the first 2 weeks then starts to slack off on notes & lecturing & shows pointless videos & articles in class instead. Very strict. No homework, possible extra credit for a futile 10 points. Grade is based solely on exams, midterm, & final. Study guides are vague & unhelpful. I would run far away from this class & don't look back.

Comment:
This teacher is very hard and demanding. The tests are difficult and the overall grade is solely based off of tests. No homework, no quizzes, no extra credit, just tests. She has favorites and is very strict about attendance and cell phones. Not very approachable or friendly. Would not recommend unless you already know this subject material.

If you're not much of a reader and you simply don't have the time necessary to put all you efforts in this class I SERIOUSLY don't recommend you taking this professor. She doesn't give hw, the exams are based more on the book than on the notes.

I took Prof. Mackey spring 2010 and she was difficult! She is very passionate at what she does. As long as you attend her class you will be fine. It may not be an amusing class, but you do learn something. Just go by the study guide!! No homework but study early IT HELPS!

Comment:
Doctor Mackey was a fantastic teacher in making the course interesting. However i think she fell short in that her lectures didn't help whatsoever for the exam; going to class is not required to pass. The exams themselves are very difficult so many hours of copious studying from the textbook is needed.

Comment:
Her exams are difficult because the question has two answers that are closely correct with only a few words differentiated the correct answer. For example, the 13th amendment statement is listed such as A. threaten, or intimidate any person's rights or privileges. B. oppress, or intimidate any person's rights or privileges, so choosing A or B will

Most interesting professor! People who say she is hard, those are the ones who want an A handed to them and just purely lazy. There are 5 exams which she gives you study guides for, study it and a guaranteed A. Drops the lowest. Class can be very boring but not mandatory, just study the study guide she hands out. EASY group word done in one day.

She is very passionate about her subject. Sometimes you want to make her be quite. Class is easy, test multiple choice, gives study guides, does group discussion, she uses only overhead projector. She is a good professor. Higly recommened her.
