Reviews of professor Otha Dixon-McKnight

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Take notes because the quizzes are open note. She does take attendance and use the books for papers but their only 2 page long papers. She seems strict but she is not at all. She asks for your preference for the final exam and it is also open note.

Some small essays, discussion boards, and a longer research assignment. Final exam is online and open book, quizzes too. I just wished feedback was more specific and the citations were more thoroughly explained, as it was not the regular MLA format. Other than that, there was so much extra credit and the class was fairly easy. Get the textbook.

Dr. Dixon-McKnight is one of the best professors in the History department. She is an easy going professor, but she does not take any mess from anyone. Her lectures are easy to follow and she gives clear directions for all of her assignments. I would recommend taking her at least once before you graduate.

Professor McKnight was one of my favorite, shes really sweet and understanding. We had some good debates in this class some days we spent most of the time talking, it is not required but everyone did have to present at least once. We had quizzes every week, rarely any test. And plenty extra credit opportunities.

She's a really good teacher, and gives great lectures, but you're expected to read the chapters before class. She assigns papers on topics she has not covered yet, or is going to cover the week after the paper is due, which leads you feeling disappointed when what you wrote in your paper doesn't match up with the lecture. Read and you pass, easily.

Dr. Dixon-McKnight is an excellent professor. I took HIST 211 and HIST 212 with her. She really knows her field and is very passionate in her teaching. She is willing to help you when you need it. If you have to take a History course I highly recommend taking it with her!

Buy the textbook! It is so good; I learned a lot about Colonial America in this class. Her lectures are structured to be copied for notes, and you also watch some videos. While we didn't read directly from the textbook, it is a great source to have. Challenging in the good and improving-way.

I absolutely loved Dr. Dixon-McKnight. She was helpful and was the one of the most put together professors with everything online. She cares about her students and if I could take more classes with her, I would
