Comment:
I absolutely loved her. She's tough, and you should plan to pay attention - but she is a great professor. At midterm I had a D, but I started actually studying and taking notes and ended the semester with a B+.

Dorthy is an interesting teacher. All you do is come to class, listen to her speak, take notes, and go home. If you don't take notes, your screwed. She's a really nice lady when you talk to her. Just make sure that you pay attention. The only grades of the class are the 4 true and false tests. Questions can be confusing at times. Just pay attention

Dorothy is the best Prof I have ever had! As far as if you need to attend or use the book it is really either or! Everything she teaches comes straight from the book, so if you do the reading you could miss the class, but if you do not do any reading you can still do well if you go to class and pay attention! I love her true or false test!

she is a good teacher if u like to learn history, her study guides are good, although her t/f tests are often tricky and some of the questions are never covered in class and i have had her twice unfortunately and these were two of the hardest classes to get a good grade in.

Comment:
Professor Maps has some very strange mannerisms, and her style of teaching is simply notes. Her tests are true/false and fairly easy as long as you look over your notes before class. She's always late. Don't bother buying the book I didn't use it once. It was a waste of money.

I go to this class to go to sleep. occasionally, i'll stay up to jot down some notes, then its back to sleep for me. If u have a labtop, make sure you bring it so u can browse facebook/myspace till class is over.

Mapes is a boring history teacher. Her tests aren't hard but you should study for them. Her True/False approach to tests is extremely perfected.

Too boring for 7:45 AM....tests make no sense and she's always late. Don't try getting up to use the restroom. She'll lock you out and yell at you after class.

She rambles the whole entire hour, but with good intentions. Her test questions never match the study guide or lectures. You cant use the bathroom or get a during during her class eithor.

This class is extremely boring. Don't take it at 7:45 a.m. she'll put you right to sleep. Tests are VERY tricky. She talks the whole hour and a half. Avoid at all costs!!!

Comment:
She's a very good teacher, but be sure to take good notes because the test is from her notes, not from the book. Her tests are only T/F and tricky, and she's also VERY opinionated! Unless your class in engaged in conversation, it's dull.

She is a great teacher if you like to learn about history. If you don't, then this class will be incredibly boring. Make sure you don't have this class first thing in the morning! and don't worry about buying the text book (hs-250)but you should buy the other accompanied book because you'll do some homework out of it.

Her class is interesting, and I enjoy listening to her..most of the time..Her tests are hard! They are all t/f, but she words them herself and they differ from the book! I'm learning a lot from her, just not doing to well on the tests. The study guides are kind of irrelevent to the tests as well. Overall=okay teacher.

If it wasn't for my laptop, and facebook, I wouldn't have made it through the semester. I never opened my book. The questions weren't from the book. They were from Dorothy's head.

she knows her stuff, tests are challenging though logical/straightforward. ALMOST succeeds in keeping her inner femi-nazi at bay while teaching. nothing but lecture, which has it's ups and it's downs. One challenge for you: stay awake the entire class. i tried caffein, i tried ritalin, i tried eating a well balanced meal before...i tried everything
