Reviews of professor Layne McDaniel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
There are only three grades for the class so if you have a bad grade on one you are screwed.  Since there is only a test at the midterms and finals, you don't know if you are studying the right material and so while I haven't taken it yet, I feel completely unprepared for the final exam and the study guide is not very trustworthy in my experience.

This teacher canceled/made class online more times then we were in class. Your whole grade is based off like 3 tests and maybe two small written assignments. It's really hard to study for tests when you're barely in class to learn anything. I didn't come to college just to have to learn on my own because my professor isn't in class.

Took online. Ready to answer any questions you have. Just doesn't seem she is into teaching the class much. Class is canceled frequently, but while she is teaching, you are getting worthwhile information and good discussions. She is very nice respectful and approachable.

She's a sweet lady but absolutely terrible for teaching a college course. I took a hybrid class, and have been in person maybe 4 times? which I'm not complaining. She has a ridiculous amount of links for reading and videos that you don't need. There's typically several quizzes and forums due at the same time. But is an easy class overall.

If you need an easy HIS 1200 credit, this is the class for you. I took this course online and there was not much work to do at all (1 short quiz per week, 3 exams, and ~4 short writing assignments in total). Some of the material covered on the quizzes and exams are impossible to find, but most of the time you can still end up with a good grade.

Took her online UCO class. You'd have to physically try to fail in order to fail. Seriously, this is such an easy class. I didn't learn much but at least my GPA went up. If you want an easy freshman seminar, do yourself a favor and take this class!
