Comment:

I haven't had a professor good/bad enough to come on here and rate... until now. Dr. Ricahrds is an angel. She is so sweet and super understanding/accommodating with her students. I took her 8 AM class and was often late due to hectic mornings with my 4 y/o. She'd say, "I don't mind if you're late, I'm just happy you came" with a huge smile.

Comment:

The best history professor I've had. She somehow makes an hour-long lecture interesting. She cares about her students and will accommodate and help them in any way possible. 3 Exams and 3 essays all of which are super easy. Just show up and you are guaranteed to pass.

Her classes are well constructed and she is a very easy teacher to follow. There is three exams with a study guide for each. If you study the study guide you will do fine. Each exam consists of 25 multiple choice and one 3 page essay. The textbook really is not needed unless you want to cite it in your papers. She is super nice and understanding!

Comment:

A really nice professor, class is entirely lecture so pay attention. She writes everything she will discuss on the board before class begins, but her handwriting is a little tricky to read sometimes. Tests are multiple choice with a 3 page paper you write beforehand, not too hard but hard if you didn't listen. Never got the book and did well.

Holly Richards is great! She is helpful, caring, and wants you to walk away with an A. 4 exams with 3 page essays to write for each exam, but there are plenty of essay options and she gives you plenty of time to write it. The exams are multiple choice.

Comment:

The class was relatively interesting if you like history. Grades were based upon four tests with three page papers due on the test date. Lectures are interesting if you like history. Show up, take good notes, and you will never have to do any homework outside of class besides writing papers and studying. Overall, she was great!

Professor Richards is very sweet and passionate about History. Her lectures are usually very interesting and she does a good job bringing you back to that time period. There are only 3 tests which consist of a paper and 25 multiple choice questions. There is never any homework beyond reviewing your notes if you want.

Comment:

Class consists of her talking about a subject or topic for that day. Does not assign homework. 4 non-cumulative tests make up grade. Don't miss more than 4 classes or you fail regardless of grade. The way she talks makes you interested and she wont put you to sleep. She can be funny and talk about random things. Only complaint is her handwriting.

Professor Richards is a wonderful woman. She's always in a good mood and has a smile on her face. She is very passionate about history and got me into the class even though I was never really a fan of the subject. Her classes are usually only in the morning.

I really enjoyed having Holly Richards as my professor for history, and im not just saying that. She doesn't give homework, the only thing you have to worry about is doing well on your tests, and even if you don't she will allow you to do extra credit. Shes very helpful and understanding. Just show up, take some notes and listen and youll be fine.

Best professor at CCSU by far. Her lectures are intriguing and fun. Her Exams are half take home half in class. I legitimately look forward to going to her class.
