Very nice woman. Easy class, take notes, read the textbook, and DO THE STUDY GUIDE! She allows you to bring a study guide with what you can fit on an 8-1/2"x11 sheet. She lectures to the exam, and reiterates this throughout the semester. Very bright woman, very nice, and will work with you if you need assistance.

An amazing woman. Passionate about her subject.Takes all exams from her lectures so attend class if you want to do well. Lets you bring a cheat sheet to the exam but, for those of us who do not like hearing about the details of slavery, then too bad because she is pretty graphic on this topic. It was an easy A for me.

Comment:
Dr. Bell's class was easy and she is a wonderful person. The perfect teacher for getting a U.S. history requirement out of the way or for a 300 level that doesn't induce stress. Attendance is big but exams are pretty straightforward when you show up for class. She is somewhat absent-minded, which can slow class down a bit. Love Dr. Bell!

Horrible professor. Not engaging at all. Show up and you're garaunteed at least a B. Too bad she doesn't grade on your actual knowledge of the subject- only on if your butt is in the seat.

Book is not required as long as you go to class and take notes. Attendance is not mandatory, but there's usually a map quiz before every exam that goes towards your exam grade. 3 exams, each exam 60 multiple choice and one essay question which she gives you ahead of time. Cheat sheet is also allowed for test. Recommends tutors if needed. EASY A!

US History to 1877. Easy teacher, class. She lectures about everything that's going to be on the test. Gives essay question that's going to be on the test before hand. Text book barely needed. Allows students to use a page cheat sheet, front and back, on the tests. Gives random quizzes and counts them as attendance. Watched a couple of film clips.

easy class. if you don't get an A or B then there is a problem. lets you use cheat sheets on the exams. but it is absolute torture sitting thru her classes, very boring. she seemed like a very nice lady but she also seemed confused most of the time, which often led to other students not knowing what she was talking about. overall easy class though

what a miserable woman. boring and incorrect! taught colonial history like she was teaching grade schoolers. spiteful when another professor accidentally told her i wished i didn't have to take the class. students were like zombies and she did nothing to make them interact or critically think. a misery.

Bell is a pretty cool professor. She prevents cheating by letting you copy your notes onto cheat sheets which you can use during your exam. Her tests are based on all her notes. There is some required reading but its pretty easy, I read the passages before class. She's definitely worth taking for intro courses, but watch out after 300 levels!!!

Great Professor. Go to class take notes and her tests are based solely on her notes! You even get to use a cheat sheet! Take her. I actually feel like I learned something too. She is very enthusiastic about her work, knows her stuff!

No matter what anyone says on this site, take my advice. Take this professor. She is a very understanding, smart woman. She will never make you feel stupid when you say ANYTHING. Tests are multiple choice w/ essay and are easy. Repetitive yes, but clear and helpful. Cant do badly!

Very nice teacher and grades fairly, however, she repeats the same things a lot, so if you're one to not go to class very often, you'll be all set goin once a week. But for those who actually go, you'll get sick of hearing the same things over and over. Also, lets u use a 'cheat sheet' on exams.

This lady was pretty easy of a teacher as long as you took notes in class. Never read book except before exam, book mimics what she teaches. She is wicked a nice person. If you want a laid back normal history course then take with her.
