Comment:

Dr. Case is amazing, yes, the class does have quite the workload, but it is completely doable. Dr. Case goes above and beyond to help and provide feedback. She has been one of the most involved professors I have ever had, and I genuinely feel like she cares for her students. She is a true gem at UHD and for the history department.

Comment:

Honestly Dr. Case is one of the best professors I have ever taken in my life! She really cares about her students and really pushed me to be a better student, if I could take every class with her for the rest of my college career I would. She never criticizes, but always gives feedback in a way to make you realize you realize your potential.

Comment:

So many negative responses that I was afraid of taking her, well let me tell you the truth she is not easy, but school is not supposed to be easy. So honestly I would recommend taking her for one reason, and that is that you will be tested on how you pay attention and receive feedback, trust me when I say this, this class will help.

Took her online class so some things may not apply to on campus students. Took 4 tests and had 4 papers. We read about 1-2 chapters a week from various sources and had a discussion weekly or biweekly. Tests are straightforward if you follow her case commentary and ACTUALLY read. Do the work and do it well and you can receive an A.

I took her class HIST 1306 and i had to drop it. her grading method is really really tough. you have to put in a whole lot of effort. She is nice and caring but she has really high expectations. i one time put a lot of effort in one of her tests and got a 64. I could not understand why i failed it. DO NOT TAKE HER... YOU WILL FAIL...

Comment:

While I enjoyed subject, I would never take this professor again. Summer online, 2 papers required. She made a big fuss about paraphrasing at the beginning of the course, so when I wrote my papers I did it blind to avoid. She assumed that I used source material and then marked up paper saying I didn't cite. Arguing w/ no results. Heavy reading.

Comment:

The work given was pretty clear and concise although this professor makes you work for your grade. There is ALOT of reading for this class aside from the three books you have to get for her class. She pays attention to detail so make sure you study for your tests.

Comment:

Dr. Case is an amazing professor. I am so glad to have taken her for my first upper level history class. She and I really clicked at the beginning of class. She is really personable. She cares about her students. I had a lot of car troubles at the beginning of class and she was really nice about it. I hope I can take her again for another class.

Comment:

These comments would have helped me b4 I registered, avoid her for online history, You have to read 15 digital history six chapters and three videos for a quiz. she gives you way too much information and grades her essay very hard, If you are failing her test do not expect the essay to help you. IF YOU ARE TAKING THIS HISTORY ONLINE TAKE IT ALONE.

Comment:

Dr. Case is a sweet person in general, but when it comes to History its like tooth and nail. She requires a lot in her class; currently taking a Summer course with her and it feels like a full semester course. Three papers, exams, and of course discussion. If another professor was offering a upper level history course I wouldn't have took her.

Comment:

Before taking her class, I read what people said about her and her class on here. Honestly, she's not bad at all. There is A LOT of reading, but if you do it, you will be fine. Her tests are based off of what you read and her lectures, so attendance is important. Also, she is really flexible when it comes to asking her for help.

Comment:

This professor is one of those that believes firmly that no one is perfect, and as such no one truly deserves an A on anything really. As of this moment I have a 3.8 GPA at UHD and was unable to achieve an A on anything in her class. All B's no matter how much effort I put forth. Do yourself a favor and stay clear of this one.

Comment:

Very helpful, always willing to meet with students and help them where she could. I have to admit, I love history ... I found her style very refreshing. Go to class, listen, take notes, read assigned material, and ask questions. Not a hard class, but not an easy A. If you try, you'll do well. If you don't care, why are you going to college?
