Comment:

This instructor required way too much online discussion postings. No class should be so heavy on weekly, in-depth online assignments. Online courses are supposed to done at your own convenience, hence, taking it online. Added to that several papers and research paper, it was just too much. I DO NOT recommend this instructor.

Not the class for a lazy student. Discussion was very exhausting, test were timed for 30 mins, and questions were difficult. The essays were ridiculously long. Not my favorite class..

Comment:

I like history but this professor wore me out with her ridiculous essays that are supposed to help you understand the material. All it did was detract away from the actual lessons and made me lose some interest. Ok teacher but I feel like I should get an english credit from her as well.

Ridiculous essays considering this is HIS101 not HIS220. Stay away from this teacher at all costs.

Comment:

i learned alot in her class, the tests are from the notes, however you have to write really in depth 4 to 5 page essays for each test. you cant miss any days or else you will fall behind 2 pages of notes that will more than likely be on the test

Comment:

This is my 2nd semester with her, and I still do not think she is a great teacher. Her reviews for tests are pointless. Her notes are endless and never narrows down what exactly she wants you to know for a test. Very feminist. I just not pleased with her or the way she conducts class.

Comment:

I found her to be rather dull..I usually like history but she just hit the dullest topics as much as possible. I did well in the class, but her essays r a little ridiculous. She wants you to write a 3-6 page essay, multiple choice and map in a 55min period. She's not my first choice of teachers. If you do get her def. take notes, books isn't needed

Stay away from CB if you do not like to write papers. We wrote six essays in one semester! I thought that was a little excessive!! But her tests are fairly easy if you know her notes!

Comment:

This teacher is the best teacher i had my first year of college. so much so i only wanted to take from her in 102 as well...she is challenging because she wants you to learn it on your own but her notes are the test and as long as you're there taking them you'll be fine!

Comment:

Refers to herself in 3rd person as "CB". Has a cat for a "teaching assistant" and makes comments like "kitty wants to know why...", and "I told kitty..." PLEASE, we're community college students, not imbeciles! Had to write 5 papers for this class - I didn't even write that many for my English class. Tests come from instructor supplied notes.

One of the best professors I've ever taken. Read before class, listen intently, keep track of your notes, attend every single class, be willing to learn! :)

You MUST attend class. If you do, you will get a good grade. She gives you notes, tells you what the essay questions will be for the test. If you study, you will succeed. She's an awesome teacher!

All I can say is that she is a great instructor and makes history interesting. If you want an A from her you have to attend her classes because the tests are based on her notes. Study notes, follow directions and you will do well in this class.

Comment:

Mrs. Blackburn is a pretty straigh forward teacher. If you attend class, she gives you everything you need to know in her notes. All her tests are based off her notes. She goes over what she wants on her essays. She's very helpful. If you do miss class, go over the book carefully to get it, or you'll do bad. Other than that she was great.

She is the greatest history teacher, very enthusiastic, keeps you interested, draws pictures and maps to help make things clear, speaks clearly and doesnt mind answering any questions. Study study study..you look forward to the tests if you pay attention...LOTS of notes, but NOT boring.

Took Course in a Bag class and passed, but you've got to study a lot. You'll do good if you go to the review sessions.
