Comment:

She's a sweet person but online teaching is not her thing. She only grades in Tests, quizes (only a few), and Journals. The journals are very difficuilt becasue she requires 500+ words to be wtitten when the promt could be answered in one paragraph minimum. Tests are worded badly making it hard to recall information that you learned.

She is an amazing professor! She explains the subject very well! The videos may be long, but all the content matters. I would definitely have this professor again if I could. She does not have a lot of homework, only journals (which are very easy). If you watch the videos and articles she posts, then you will pass the exams. I promise you that!

This was a nice class because the homework (journals) were a great way to earn points. The class was mainly on a point system so just get as many points as you can. The tests however were extremely stressful with less than a minute per question. I know a lot of my classmates didnt do well. That was just kind of ridiculous to me.

This class was not too hard, but the professor was very vague in her instructions. Every week you had a journal, but they were only graded every 4 weeks. The instructions for these journals were often vague. The worst part of the class was that you had less than two minutes per question on the tests and the professor did not offer makeup work.

Hands down my favorite class thus far. Her material and delivery are engaging and impactful. Review your material and notes prior to the test. Tests are timed, but not proctored. Essays throughout the class and on the first couple tests but no weekly homework. This class will make you think. I will definitely take Professor Carney for 1302.

I would not take this class again. Professor was okay work is easy just consistent but the lectures are too confusing. The videos are great but seem like a last-minute thing because she constantly says "Uhm." Overall okay

I literally love Professor Carney's online class. She makes online lectures clear and easy to understand/follow. I'd take notes if I were you to help on the tests. 1 quiz at the beginning over syllabus, then exam 1, then another easy quiz, exam 2, then the final. Exam's aren't hard if you study. Definitely going to look for her again!

Professor Carney Gives great notes, the way she explains things you can't help but learn. She has folders with journals that you have to write but she gives you EVERYTHING you need to complete them. She gives test reviews so you know what you will need to know. She really cares for her students and is an AMAZING teacher! I had her last semester too

Ms. Carney is one of the best professors Ive ever had in all my years. Honestly, I hated history.. but now history is one of my favorite subjects because of her. Her lectures are very detailed and interesting. You can tell shes very passionate about what she is doing. She assigns journals here (which are easy As) and gives extra credit.

Professor Carney is the most passionate U.S. History instructor you'll meet. She goes through various events and even has a set schedule. The lectures are lengthy for the most part, so make sure you're able to write notes that will make sense to you. If you're confused about anything you can always ask her about any missed content.

Ms. Carney is wonderful! The journals she assigns are easy and she offers numerous extra credit throughout the semester. Her exams are not entirely hard, they consists of 15 multiple choice and written responses. When writing the responses, make sure to go in depth and show insight! I also loved that she gave helpful feedback on journals and tests.

Really sweet. Had her for dual credit class in HS. One of the best professors I've ever had. Has weekly journals but not hard, are abt what is discussed in class. Pretty understanding and easily accessible. Lectures are super boring but very informational so I suggest recording it. Study guides resemble tests. 10/10 recommend

The lectures are great, it's mandatory that you show up for the lectures. She makes you do journals and read but they are not hard, just do it because there is no right or wrong answer. The tests weren't hard if you study, she always provides a study guide that is exactly what the test has. Her class was great and she's really awesome. Highly recom

I took her 1302 course. There is usually a paper due each weekend up until the final. She isn't super specific about what she expects within them. Tests are mostly short answer/essay driven. I would suggest going to class everyday.

Took her for History 1301 and 1302: 1. Lecture heavy, similar to telling a story. Get a recorder. 2. PowerPoints are used, but not usually for note taking. 3. Responds quickly to emails. 4. Test 1301 - Essay type. 1302 15 multiple choice with some essay type questions. 5. Weekly or bi-weekly journals about someone from that chapter.

Comment:

Not specific at all on what she wants on her tests. Tests are critical thinking, not multiple choice. Journals basically every week, if youre not a big history fan, you will hate these. She lectures the whole time so good luck staying awake. Often asks for YOUR opinion and says theres no wrong answer, then she grades it and says its wrong.
