Reviews of professor Carey McCormack

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor McCormack is a very good teacher. You can tell that she's knowledgeable in history, and is always happy to answer questions. Throughout the semester, she will give extra credit opportunities in the form of history-related events that you can attend. I didn't really like the heavy emphasis placed on participation, though.

She was one of my favorite professors. Very knowledgeable about history, and her lectures are entertaining. I would say her course is a little difficult, just because she expects you to know the course material on exams. We got 3 skips to use during the semester, but I only used 1 because I enjoyed going to her class. I highly recommend her.

I really enjoyed her class! She's very passionate about history. The only tests were a midterm and a final but as long as you do the review and have done the readings, you'll be fine. Besides that, there is an attendance and participation grade, one paper, and a field trip reflection. As long as you show up and do the readings, you'll be fine.

Honestly loved her class. She is very knowledgeable about the subject so it makes the lectures interesting. Attendance is worth the most out of all of the grades so make sure you are actually there.

This professor is such a hard grader. Even when trying to reach out to learn how to improve in the course she is no help. You have to learn how to please her and then you will do well. It is not easy but doesn't have much work. The work you have though is hard.

This professor is a tough grader, ridiculously so on discussion posts. Every week new expectations that she will keep secret. Always finds new things to count off for, but when you ask why, she will ignore you or become very rude and threaten to give you a zero. If you have a problem, expect to figure it out for yourself bc she will not help you.

I really enjoyed Mrs. McCormack, but the actual readings were kind of hard to keep up with. She is overall pretty nice and wants you to succeed, but she does still have higher expectations. Asks lots of open-ended questions for discussion. Would still recommend her for anyone needing to take a history class.
