Reviews of professor Dee Gillespe

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I have never done good in a history class before or been interested in history in the past (probably bc i am a dual enrollment student and have only experienced high school teachers), however she has amazing lectures and explains things super well. You get 2 attempts on quizzes and she drops your lowest one. Tests are very easy if you attend class.

Tests and quizzes were very difficult, the short answer questions were graded harshly. She is a very good lecturer but I will not be attend another one of her classes. I wish she had more assignments so I could get my grade higher. All there was in the class were the 3 assignments and 5 quizzes, she dropped our lowers quiz grade.

She graded her essays based on personal preferrence. If she would have added something in the paper you wrote she took off points for not being able to read her mind and add that particular detail. She had no exams just 7 quizzes. The quizzes were easy but the essays are weighted much more and she graded those extremely harshly. I do not recommend.

Professor Gillespe was very caring and nice. Her class was really easy, and if you paid attention you don't have to study. She teaches history in a way that is fun and easy to understand. You will probably want to take notes, but it is not necessary. Her class is weighted heavily by test that have short answer, and multiple choice but it is easy.

She is really nice and has some humor. She presents well and her lectures are intriguing. What got me was it was only papers, midterm, and final. All based on writing. She tells you what she wants but she is a hard grader. With a specific word count, it is hard to write a decent paper. She's a good person to talk to but a kinda bad professor...

Get ready to read 2 books outside of your actual textbook. In this class we only have 5 assignments that are graded. 2 book reviews with discussion questions and 3 tests. Participation/attendance is added in at the end. All of her tests are Essay question tests and you also have a take home essay to complete. Don't wanna read? You WONT pass

I highly recommend Dr. Gillespe she is an amazing professor! As someone who struggled through high school I really enjoyed her class. Don't know why her ratting is so low. People rated her poorly probaly because they wanted an easy A. The class is very doable if you put in some effort. All her information is clear to understand. Take her she cares!
