Reviews of professor Marie Totten

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Professor Totten's History class after 1877. This was such a great class & she is such a fantastic teacher. She gives extensions if you need them & is a good grader, who gives helpful feedback. you HAVE to go to class because her class is all lecture. If you listen in class you will do well

She is not your typical history teacher. She gives a lot of assignments. Her tests are takehome and dont have any multiple choice. She gives several writing assignments but they are creative writing assignments. She cancels class a lot and has several self paced learning days. She can be helpful sometimes when you ask for help. Id give her a b-.

She gives out weekly reviews, short answers questions, that you will never get full credit for. Attendance is not mandatory but if you showed up to class some assignments are shortened. All of her exams are long essays and an analysis paper over a book. Unless you love history or writing, I do not recommend taking this class.

She is a great professor and really knows her history. There are few assignments are given and easy grading. Loved being in her class and would definitely recommend her.

The easiest class ever. She has very long lectures but they are not boring. I did this class from my home and still got an A in the course. You have three major assignments that are super easy, no tests besides a midterm and final but you can use your notes and any lecture videos, you also have all week to complete it. Highly recommend

She talks very fast during her lectures which makes it extremely difficult to take accurate notes. She also uses power points to teach but the slides have almost no information which makes it hard to take notes especially since she speeds through all of the information very quickly and expects you to memorize everything she says. I don't recommend.

Great professor. The style she teaches made me think critically about the topics and learn a lot. I am not a history major, but I actually enjoyed going to this class.

Totten is the best choice for History. This class is based off weekly assignments and no tests. There is 4 papers in the class the entire year and as long as you use the information she provides to write them you will be good. She is super understanding,Overall if you have to take a history class take this one with Mrs. Totten
