Reviews of professor Catherine Ariail

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You do not have to buy a textbook, she provides links to the books youll use for the semester. Its a lecture class so its expected to be boring but overall if you do the assignments and actually put effort into them this is an easy A class. Shes understanding when it comes to missing class as long as you email her

Most boring class ever. No exaggeration. Lectures are really boring and she talks in the same tone. Super nice lady, but very boring to the point where it's hard to pay attention. Easy grader, but she asks for a bit much as far as assignments go each week, especially considering this is a history class.

had her for in-person classes for Spring 2020 and she was great. All of her stuff was opinionated so as long as you backed up what you thought you were good. Her class was just class discussions&if you paid attention in class then you knew what to do for the quizzes, when we made the switch to online she handled it like a pro

Dr. Ariail was helpful when you asked her questions but i took her class online and it is one of the most stressful classes I have ever taken. She overloads the work and has it all spread out on D2L making it very difficult to find. She also makes the Assignments set up as Meal Plans which sounds simple but it just adds to the confusion

This wasn't a hard class if you are decent at writing assignments. Every week had about 6 writing assignments to complete. Also 2 large research projects. I took this as a gen ed and it was more work than I bargained for. She is super nice and very lenient on extensions. If you're taking it online, it will be a lot of reading and writing.

I had her for online and in-person classes. She is amazing!! For her online class, each week you have a list of assignment that's due by Sunday. They usually are about six assignments and they do not take that long. Most of her stuff is opinion based so as long as you back up your opinion you will be fine. I would definitely take her again
