One of the most intelligent people I've met! I took her Honors U.S. History class and she made it engaging and rewarding. She makes you work for the class, but it's worth it, especially if you're a history major. The readings were interesting, too! I'd recommend to anyone who likes U.S. History.

Comment:

Professor Patton is a great history professor. She's very passionate and knowledgeable. She keeps things exciting and is easily accessible outside of class. She is a fairly tough grader and her work is rigorous, but if you're a history major you'll love her class. I highly recommend her African Civilizations course!

Professor Patton is very inspirational and knows what she is talking about. Attendance is mandatory as it is part of your grade, the reading is heavy and grades hard but it is college level work. She is kind and willing to work with you as long as you communicate effectively with her. Class discussion are always interesting

Patton really cares about her students. Yes, there is a lot of reading and homework but some of it is actually super interesting. This is one of those classes where if you do not put the effort it, you wont pass. There are a few of extra credit opportunities and there are 2 exams and 1 final- she drops the lowest grade if you take 3.

Professor Patton is an amazing, caring, and passionate teacher!! She cares for all her students and does not want anyone to fail and she makes that very clear. She is a tough grader but if youre in class and take notes you will do perfectly fine. She is funny and does not just have you take notes off of a PowerPoint, she engages with the class.

There are 3 exams and your lowest grade is dropped. She randomly checks notes, also two sets of formal notes due so do all of the readings. Class participation counts for 15% of your grade so show up and engage in discussions. There are extra credit opportunities. 5% of grade to meet with her by 6th week of semester, only lasts about 5 minutes.

After having her for HIST311 I decided to enroll in her HIST310 class. She's definitely one of my favorite professors! Her lectures are thorough and interesting. My previous opinion of history being a boring subject has been changed and I'm so thankful for the many things that I've learned from these classes!

She's the only history teacher I plan on taking! This class was hard for a first semester college student, she was understanding and patient. She has such a deep passion for history that you can feel it through her lectures! I respect her so much, she's eager to talk to the student after class to see how they're doing. I strongly suggest taking her

My absolute favorite professor! As a history major, I am incredibly glad to have crossed path with her at City College. I have taken her African History Class (HIST 360) and HIST 482 & HIST 311. I would take her again had I not taken all her classes. She makes you apperciate and analyze all perspective. History is a forest of time. Patton, you rock

She's a GREAT professor but almost impossible to impress. She would say I did great work & yet still gave me B's. Study the ENTIRE study guide she gives you, do the readings, take notes on them, and make sure your work is spectacular cuz she grades tough. I hated history but now I find it interesting thanks to her enthusiasm. You'll never be bored.

NICE professor, BUT she brags about her reviews because she is a hard grader. a LOT of reading, (40 pages from each class). She gave you the test in advance but tbh the way she grades them is really subjective. Even though you have the right answer, if she does not agree on why that event is important your grade will no be higher than B.

Comment:

You absolutely need to do all the notes for the reading if you want to pass the class, otherwise you will be lost in the discussions and she grades for participation. She grades pretty hard on everything so by the end of the class you will be a master at taking notes. Learn from the first notes assignment and follow the examples she puts online.

Absolutely MUST have all texts. Tough on grading, but fair. If you got an A, you earned it. Hilarious. She's passionate and invigorated, one of the best teachers I've ever seen. MUST take notes, both in class & from texts (she checks). Must participate - she'll call you out if you're quiet.

You def. have to put in work to pass! But this was the most interesting history class I've ever taken. Lectures are interesting & engaging. She is a tough grader but she's fair. 4 papers, 2 tests & project. You NEED the books to pass & take notes! If you want a Prof who will keep you awake during history class, TAKE HER. She is an amazing teacher!

Comment:

Prof Patton is okay. She made history interesting, but I put in 3+ hours on my notes and always got a B on them. She rarely gives out A's, so you have to do really well on the tests which is hard. She is nice but I lost my 4.0 streak because of her.

You have work to pass this class. I guarantee when finish, you will see history in a different light. Be prepare to discuss that day's reading in class. She will get mad if you are not prepared. She is engaged, and participating will keep you engaged. She will make you laugh. She grades hard but fair. Will go the extra to help you if you need it.

This class opened my eyes to just how fascinating history can be. Sherri is an excellent educator & a very kind lady. COME TO CLASS PREPARED: read your assigned material, take notes, & participate in discussions. Her lectures are amazing! She doesn't award 100%'s, so don't get worked up over it. I worked hard for my A but feel accomplished for it!
