I've taken 2 classes with professor davidson, i absolutely love her. she's very passionate about what she teaches and i can tell you, you will learn a lot in her classes. the work is fairly easy you just need to take good notes on her lectures! she's hilarious, very nice to you if you're respectful to her.

I like her humor, but she is a tough grader and can often be strict.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Rude and completely lacked understanding of her students. Obviously did not transfer to an online modality well. There were several instances where multiple students would have an issue with an online test, lecture, etc., and she didn't care nor help to remedy the situation. Wouldn't take any responsibility. Have any trouble? Well, you're SOL

This professor does not like well written assignments that are not based 100% on her lectures that don't help everyone learn. Went above and beyond on an assignment, and because I used something from the textbook and not her videos I was given a zero. Do not take this class.

Professor Davidson is passionate about what she teaches, and her class is a great option for students who genuinely enjoy history. When it comes to the course content, she is very knowledgeable, but can also be demeaning of her students. Her class is a history lover's dream, but if you just need a history credit (like me), take another section.

Study guides for every test. Tests are ALL open notes.

She is very specific on exactly what she wants from you. If you take good notes on the lecture, you will have a very easy time in the class. There are a lot of random questions from the lecture in the quizzes so just make sure to write down the important stuff. She provides a note format that if you follow, you will have all the information needed.

I do not like history classes at all so my review might be a bit biased. Professor Davidson is a good professor and the class is interesting, but several of the assignments were pretty irrelevant (the documentaries + primary sources) to what you're tested on. The exams were also very difficult too, you only get 1 hour to answer 100 questions.

The work wasn't always amazing, but it followed a pattern - inquisitive and reading/quiz weekly. Exams weren't hard if you have notes. Lectures are definitely important to attend, but she was very thorough and humorous at points. She was a bit agitated at times, but typically she was alright if you just listen to her.
