Super easy class. Lectures can be a little redundant because you have online assignments. Three essays, gives great feedback and will review it ahead. Gives extra credit like crazy.

Comment:

The class consists of three 1100-word term papers, MindTap homework assignments, and three exams. The class is easy overall just tedious work. Lectures are actually helpful but not mandatory. She is a nice funny woman who is willing to help if you need it. Prepare to do some textbook reading though.

Comment:

Mrs. O'Shea is an amazing professor and gives lectures that keeps you awake. She gives out a lot of bonus points and is extremely caring. Probably one of the best teachers I will ever take in my college career. She gives a lot more leeway than she should have (just saying) so don't slack and test her patience as some had. Other than that easy A.

class was organized and lectures were fun considering it's history. homework is a couple assignments/week through Cengage (where textbook is) and it took about an hour. there are 2-3 discussions, tests, papers. tests are easy bc she says what's on them and discussions and papers are moderate you just have to read a lot to prep for them

attendance isn't mandatory but gives two pop extra credits in class. Her assignments (essays, tests, homework) were all so easy with the help of quiz let. I would go to her class because i like history but you really don't have to. super easy I 100% recommend

Comment:

O'shea's lectures are vastly different from the Powerpoint slides she has, which is good if you want different information, but bad if you want to study before class. The homework is around 40% of your total grade, 28% is 3 essays, and 27% are the 3 exams which are online. Pretty easy A since you can keep redoing the homework for 100%. Just do it.

She organizes her class well & makes this a very easy class. Her lectures don't match her power points. I just do the online chapters/homework in class. Or don't go, either way. Write 3 shortish essays and 3 discussions. 3 tests. Plenty of extra credit. Homework is just reading and answering practice questions. I'm going to take her for AMH2020.

Comment:

O'shea is a easy professor is you do all of the online work, she's rude when you try to approach her outside of class. Her power points aren't very helpful, and her lectures do not help at all. Her directions when writing papers are very clear, but it is still difficult to receive a good score on them. The work is all online (quizzes and essays).

Comment:

O'shea is an easy professor if you already know how to write a paper and able to commit your whole life to her class. Her in-class powerpoints and lecture does not match causing you to choose between what she is saying and her slide to take notes. However, its an easy A because its all online. I never went to class and ended with a A.

Comment:

This Professor seems to think that students can, and should, read her mind. Trying to write a paper for her is like trying to hit an invisible target. Her directions are vague, yet her expectations when grading are very specific and annoyingly subjective. She is also unnecessarily loud, I've made a habit of wearing earplugs to class.

Comment:

She is a wonderful professor and you can tell that she is knowledgeable about history. She makes the class interesting and I ended the class with an A with flying colors. Make sure to follow her essay prompts, do the inquisitive, and have the book open for the test. She also gives bonus points so that's a plus. She's great!!

Comment:

Class structure is great honestly; just do the online homework, exams, and papers. If you try to speak with her outside of office ours (even if it's before or after class) she won't talk to you and is quite rude about it. Feedback through e-mails are short and obviously rude. Lectures and PowerPoints are very non-specific and all over the place.

Comment:

This professor is probably the worst history professor I have ever had. Her lectures are all over the place and carry little to no structure. I'm a straight a student and I'm taking this class just for the credit. So many people would send one friend to sign the attendance for them. Make this review the reason you don't sign up for her class.

She is a very good professor, funny, and really knows what she is talking about. Be ready to write several papers with vague guidelines.

She was the best history teacher I've ever had in my life! She was fair in her grading and even gave us extra credit multiple times. I usually am not good at history but her lectures were actually so interesting. She captures your attention and if you go to class she helps you understand the essay prompts and suggests general ideas.

The questions for the papers are poorly defined and can lead to a lot of confusion when writing them. Fair grader. Very boring class, you have to read the book online so there is very little reason to go to her class.

A hilarious teacher with a sense of passion for what she does. Ask her about the most interesting Roman leader and she will talk your ear off. Papers are tough, but put in the time and you'll get a good grade. Need the textbook for the papers. Overall, an awesome professor.

I honestly think this class was pretty hard. Definitely go to all classes if you are not a history person even though attendance doesn't matter. Lectures are kind of all over the place and I felt like some of the info didnt flow well.

Comment:

A weird class in my opinion. Was confused a lot of the time and not sure how all topics related to each other, but her class is set up pretty clearly. She gives reviews the class before the test and is pretty much exactly what's on it. The prompts are hard to grasp for papers, but I never got lower than an 87% on one. I'd recommend still.
