Reviews of professor Brandy Wells

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She makes no distinction between history for majors and non-majors. Rather than simply teaching history, she expects you to write as a historian without actually showing how historians write. She expects you to have the same basis for historical writing and research that history majors have from taking into level courses. Extremely frustrating

Professor Wells' class had a lot of work to cover. Naturally, it is not going to be fun. However, as the professor, there are ways to make it not a drag to go to. Professor Wells did not attempt anything in order for her students to appreciate or look forward to class. She can be quite intimidating which makes it harder for students to approach her

TOO MUCH WORK FOR A 1 CREDIT HOUR CLASS. The book you read is 500 pages long and you write about 5 papers, which would probably be fine, except she is such a harsh grader. She will always find some way to dock points from your paper, even if it is A+ worthy. Lectures are interesting though. Make sure you take good notes on the book.

She assigns 3-5 chapters with tests every Friday and discussion boards due weekly as well. She wants you to write A LOT. Each discussion board is worth 5 points and there are 7 of them. That whole 35 points is half your grade if you don't do them or don't do them correctly.

Dr. Wells is a great professor for discussion and debate in class, and constantly asks questions (so you really have to do the reading). I enjoyed her but I do think taht if you want an easy A, this is not the professor for you.

Not reasonable or willing to work with students dealing with life/health issues.

Avoid this class if you are not a dedicated History Major. Not worth it for a diversity credit/gen ed.

Harsh grader, does not explain grading standards (vague rubric, if any). Expects you to write like a history major. Class is more orientated towards her research than the actual state. Slow to contact via email. "Professionalism" is graded.

Terrible professor. Should not be teaching anywhere. Grades way harder than syllabus makes it seem. Way too much reading. Worse professor I have ever taken. My ochem class was easier than basic history course I took with her.
