Comment:
All she does is lecture from start to finish. She never finishes class on time. I am always rushing because she lets out like 4 minutes late. There is a TON of essay/papers/reflections and her tests are ridiculously hard. I am a straight A student and I have yet to get an A on an assignment in her class.

Comment:
VERY lecture heavy. I am a straight A student and didn't do well on an assignment and I asked if I could make corrections and resubmit, she said no. I was understanding as the assignment only gets one submission, however, the same week, she took late work from the whole semester from other students which didn't seem fair.

This is my 3rd class w/ Dr. Butts, I've taken HIST 4760 & 4770. She is without a doubt one of the best & kindest professors I've ever had. She knows what she is doing and she is very passionate about her work. She is lecture heavy & you need to study the material. But don't be afraid to email her for help/guidance, she is very understanding.

Only take her if you are a history major. She loves what she teaches which isnt a bad thing but if you dont understand jack crap about history dont take her. Sweet lady though very understanding. However from one slow person to another DONT DO IT!

I have her currently. I have been here every single day, and yet no matter how much I pay attention and take notes, I can not pass her class. I only recommend her if: 1) you're a history major 2) you're able to keep up with her talking. She is extremely talkative, and sometimes goes over the time for class. She's nice, but I would not take again.

I had her for both HIST2010 and HIST2020. I enjoyed her course thoroughly. You don't need the textbook to pass her class, but you do have to be there. She talks a lot and some of the things she discuss aren't on the PowerPoint slides she presents, so you have to take really good notes. She's an easy-grader and understanding, and helpful.

Comment:
Dr Butts is a fantastic professor within her topic, however her tests will make you pull your hair out. They are always cumulative and her study guides are essentially a list of questions that hint to what is on the test. Mind you though, the guide will have 100 questions, but the test will just have 25. Hardest effort Ive ever put in just to get

Feedback is not clear, and never posted grades. Final exam was ridiculously difficult and-wrote for almost the entire time. Not specific in what you should study, and what was on the test wasnt well covered in class. No grade posted on the paper or exam! I would not recommend this class, regret taking this class. (Lowest grade this semester)

Dr. Butts has a very lecture heavy class, and the tests come directly from the notes. She gives quizzes at the end of each chapter, and a 5 page term paper. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but if you don't show up you won't pass. She didn't use the textbook at all so don't waste your money. Overall, she's a great teacher, but this is not an easy A.

She talks a LOT. Her class is completely about listening to her go on and on. She will give the most vague explanation and want the most specific answer that only a PhD History Professor would know the answer to. On the other hand, she doesn't give much homework and she does give study guides.

Comment:
I loved this class! Dr. Butts is such a sweet lady and is always there if you need help. Quizzes at the end of every chapter, so be ready. Two book assignments, three tests, and one five page paper along with a few other homework assignments. If you don't come to class, you'll fail, but attendance is not taken. Don't get the textbook either.

She talked the whole 55 minute class every MWF. She is a talker for sure, gives quizzes at the end of every chapter. Her test are matching, multiple choice, and maps. She is super nice and does not take attendance but don't miss unless you must. You will miss a lot of information. She gives out study guides for each chapter.

If you are horrible at grammar beware! I would have gotten a A on the paper if it weren't for grammar(got a B). Other than that she is a good teacher if you actually do the work and participate in class! You may not like her if you are just trying to breeze through the class. She gives out a study guide before each 'section'. Use it!

I find that most people that do not like her are the people who don't want to do anything, and complain about how hard it is. If you give effort toward the class she notices, and she will help you. She is very caring, and you will learn a lot.

Seriously DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS CONSIDER THIS A WARNING! IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Professor Butts is a nice lady but she makes history seem like the devil. I use to love history before I took her class. THINK TWICE BEFORE SUGNING UP FIR THIS CLASS BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

Comment:
As a history major, thought this class would be great. WRONG. I hated this class because we spent more time talking about native americans than we did covering the revolution. By midterm we had not reached the french and indian war. Will never take a course with Prof. Butts again.
