Reviews of professor Mary Stout

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Assignments include discussion boards, quizzes, group projects, comic annotations, and papers. Her instructions aren't clear, so be prepared to go into her office hours to ask for clarification. She didn't update her syllabus/assignments, so her instructions are outdated. Her grading is forgiving and she's understanding when turning in late HW.

Make sure to attend each class, she has started to have in-class assignments to encourage students to come to class. Pretty easy class, only a couple of big projects but she gives the class a lot of time to work on it. If you take your time and follow the guidelines, you should get full points for every assignment.

Very easy class, and the lectures are always easy clear. No tests or quizzes, but 1 midterm paper and 1 final paper. Weekly assignments help prepare for the papers.

Professor Stout was very good at adapting to changes that are unforeseen. Professor Stout gives amazing feedback and is always there for her students. She is amazing at explaining how to improve. It is difficult to fail her class. I would take her again.

The class in itself didn't give too much work, but the two discussion modules a week were graded at the highest level of nitpicky I've ever seen. I emailed her for help on one of the modules out of confusion and she literally responded with something along the lines of "read and answer the questions." Don't take the class if you don't have to.

Mixed bag. Lectures were dull and going to class was a waste of time-pretty much just same videos and slideshows posted to Canvas. TA was all over the place with grading. Homework was time consuming but fairly easy, and her structure is good preparation for upper division history, so I'd recommend her for anybody planning on majoring in history.

Very torn about how to rate this - 2.5 tbh. EASY class - as she says on day one, if you do all the work, you will get an A. However, work is BORING. Felt like a high school history course, all homework is textbook discussion Qs (could be pulled from book), half of lecture days are just watching YouTube documentaries. Final is easy. She's nice, but

Professor Stout is a very caring teacher and it is a fairly easy class. I took this class as one day a week class and she rarely went over two hours. Attendance isn't necessarily mandatory but she does do attendance if there aren't many people in class. The class consists of weekly discussion posts and a paper due at the end of the semester.

i actually really like her. she is super nice and real and she understands that history isn't liked by many people and that they are just taking it bc they need to. her grading is not bad and her assignments are very straightforward. shes a great teacher! if you go to office hours too she loves that!
