Comment:

Amazing professor, and an amazing course. Very well organization with requirements clearly stated. I took this class as an easy A elective and it was much harder than I expected. Her lectures bordered on two hours a week. Great if you really care about the subject and want to learn more, but it's not an easy class by any means

Nice once you get to know her. Be open to meeting and interacting with her, she will be more open to help. Super smart, knows her stuff but sometimes hard to keep up with. Very textbook oriented, "learn" by reading the textbook and answering questions and discuss/ lecture in class. Overall good professor, i liked her.

Comment:

If you do not need this course and want to take it just for credit, I advise you be prepared. I felt as if I was going to major in this course because of the amount of extensive work. Some professors fill the entire course with excessive amount of work that is not needed(Ledbetter)while others give minimal work that you end up learning more from.

Pat's class is very passable. She is very much about you taking responsibility for your work. Communicate and put forth your best effort, you can make an A. She even gives extra credit if your best effort isn't enough, and you can correct your unit papers as well. There is nothing in the exam that isn't in the "You should know" and reviews.

Great professor! I took both history 1301 &1302 and got A's in both. You do have to work for your grade tho.. You have weekly quizzes over the chapters and you do have to attend class and participate in the discussion board questions.. sometimes she'll randomly call on you so pay attention! Oh and no phones or she'll get onto you as well.

Comment:

The most time consuming class I've ever taken. She is a tough grader but very detailed in her feedback. Online class had 7 total papers and endless online discussions. I asked her a question about one of the papers and she was VERY rude about it. I'll admit I didn't read the entire assignment but still, she could've been nicer about it.

This class will kick your butt! With that being said, you will become a better student because of it. Instructor is very very knowledgeable and has fantastic real life stories to share. This class requires a lot out of you, tests are far from easy and the countless papers and online classroom discussions will require a lot of time and committmen

I liked her, her instructions were detailed and it was easy to do an assignment then look at the list and check them off. She wrote up her own material which was easily printed off from canvas and her video lectures could be listened to on mobile app. Topics changed every 2 wks but I promise, you will learn so much. Do all extra credit.

If you have a lot of classes, and/or work, I do not recommend this class. She is a great teacher, opinionated but thoughtful. Papers due every two weeks, one semester paper, and participation in online threads mandatory (min of two posts, then at least two more as more people joined.) STUDY for the quizzes/tests.

Comment:

This class is definitely a challenge but one that I enjoyed. She does assign alot of work but gives plenty of time to turn them in. Some say that she's opinionated but I'd like to think of her as a free thinker that's aware of the problem with society. She wants students to think, and i can appreciate that. Study Study. I pulled off an 87

Extremely opinionated and grades papers based off the opinions stated. I.e. if you disagree with what she says in lecture your grade will be poor. Worst professor I've ever had.

BUT if you ask her for help, visit, her office, & see's you're working hard it's an easy 'A' bc she helps you out SO much. -you will learn if you're dedicated.

Professor Ledbetter may seem a little all over the place, okay she really is all over the place. READ THE TEXTBOOK there's a test every couple of weeks, a lecture and reading. She's there for help all you have to do is ASK!! She has plenty of material to help you with your topics for her research paper, I really enjoyed her class.

Comment:

Pat Ledbetter is extremely knowledgeable and certainly knows this subject inside and out. She is very involved with the online students, as she would email me right back if ever I had any issues or questions. She interacts with the class in the discussion forums, as well. I must tell you, however, that you DO need to DO THE WORK. She likes to assign writing papers and her tests can be challenging, but if you aim to learn and do the work YOU WILL LEARN! She is very good at what she does, but she is pretty tough.

Do yourself a favor and do not take this class. The papers that you will be directed to write will come with vague instructions. When you follow the instructions, guess what, the rules change and you are penalized. Unfair grading, vague descriptions, topic jumping (also vague), you do not know how she arrives at your grade, because its made up.

LOTS of homework. 6 unit papers plus term paper, unit quizzes, reading and rating other student's work, and mandatory active participation on discussion boards. NOT EASY to work into a busy schedule as you had to more or less log in and participate DAILY. No text book, but 45-70 minute video lectures each unit.
