Took her in spring 2020 online as an 8 wk class. You have tests and discussion posts but she gives a study guide for every test. There are TONS of extra credit options available. Just take notes based on the study guides and don't really worry about anything else. There are 2 primary source essay papers, but she's not a harsh grader.

Professor Gonda is a fair grader and very good at telling the REAL story of American history. I learned so much and can honestly say I feel like my views and opinions on social matters are changed because of her class. She's extremely passionate about history and it shows in her modules. 10/10 would recommend Sue Gonda.

Gonda is great! She is super sweet and her modules are super organized and quite easy. Just read, view the powerpoints and occasionally write a discussion during her quizzes. Tons of extra credit, only two papers on events you get to choose. Online was only 8 weeks so it moves fast, two modules a week, but totally doable.

Prof Gonda is so incredibly nice. She offered many different EC opportunities, I took her 8 week course and I loved the material she covered. She is one tough grader though, details are so important to her. There were a couple of times when she didn't post something on time and gave us extra time to complete the assignments. I would take her again.

I don't get why some people had a problem with her. I took her both semesters last year, and she explained anything anyone ever asked. She RESPONDS TO EMAILS and gives you a chance to do something again if you failed and go and talk to her. She's smart and nice. She relates history to what's going on today-not just memorizing dates and stuff

She might be the one with the best rate in here, but I bet any of those professors are billion time better than this woman. SHE IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She grades you by every single detail, and if she doesn't like it, she will give you a zero, no matter if your answer make sense or not. Assignments are not clear!!!!!!!DO NOT TAKE HER

Comment:

I took Gonda online, so all of her lectures were typed (with slides). She has perfected being engaging in an online class, something many profs struggle with. I took her eight-week course, so that's why we had so many deadlines so quickly. I had an A until the last couple weeks of class, so if you fall behind, it's difficult to catch up.

This is the terrible professor I ever had. I don't recommend to take her at all I passed her class with C. But she gives to much discussions and quizzes and writing. She's really bad on grading and she focus on every single word you turn in. Often she gives you chance to redo the assignment but most of the times just give zero if its incorrect.

She has a PHD in history but has a hard time applying lectures online and making them easy to follow - everything is scattered. The syllabus says due dates are Thur/Sun but she'll sometimes switch them around causing missed assignments if you're not constantly on it. Her quizzes aren't clear and some questions have her opinion so it's confusing.

I'm taking her for women's history and she is a true intersectional feminist. She may be scattered with some dates but this class is not difficult. She gives MANY xc opportunities and talks to her students about their grades/projects/concerns frequently so she is very flexible and understanding. This course is amazing, take it.

I am currently in her online History 109 class and it is the worse thing I have ever done. She assigns a big paper near the end of the semester and gives the worst feedback for the parts adding up to the paper. She only tells you what is wrong, but not why it's wrong. I am currently clueless and have no idea what I am doing wrong. Worst class EVER.

It's a History class, you have to read to understand what is going on. She gives amazing lectures. Each week you get a To-do list, you have to read from page A to page B, and answer a quiz before the lecture on Thursday. You won't pass the quizzes if you don't read, she has questions from the lecture and from the text book.

P. Gonda was pretty good, it's hard to rate her person since I took her online history class. There was a quiz every week and you have to do a lot of reading in order to be prepared. The worst part was the occasional LENGTHY free response questions for the quizzes but other than that, it was a pretty average class. The final was extremely easy.

She was rather scattered. The syllabus changed several times, & due dates were shifted around. Also the class was changed to be half online at the beginning of the semester, but no one was informed so everyone showed up the first day. Not many things that counted for our grade, but a lot of extra credit was offered, not many points given for them.

Her class was easy as she uses semi-generic test questions. We had only 2 essay tests and her final was an interview of someone that was born before the 1970's. Easy class though the test used multiple sources ( videos, textbook, powerpoints) which was a bit annoying to follow but with an hour to take a 20 question test you could look up stuff.

Prof. Gonda should definitely be a choice to consider! I have take her twice at the community college level, and I am very excited to take her for upper division classes! She really knows how to present information in a way for her students to really grasp and appreciate the context, and if you have a question she is more than happy to help!

Prof. Gonda was a great teacher. Took her online for the 8 week course. Readings, videos and quizzes twice a week, pretty easy and straightforward. Also there is extra credit. I got an A with minimal knowledge in history and time involvement in the course.

She is highly knowledgeable in her field. Scantrons for this class NOT needed as all her quizzes and tests are write-in/essay style and that is why many students have a problem with her. If you prefer memorizing answers for tests and filling in bubbles then this class is not for you. Expect to use your critical thinking skills for her class.
