Student opinions

Dr. Falcone is a wonderful teacher. She really enojys her subject (history) and is excited by any student who actually comes to her classes. Really, that's all you need to do to pass this class. Attend class, complete the midterm paper (which replaces a midterm test), and take the final (studying not required). She gives quizzes every week, alternating between online and in class. Online ones are a great way to raise your grade, because you have thw whole week to take them, and you can have your book open in front of you. Some people worked together on the quizzes, but remember the test will use the same questions, so I don't recommend this method if you are just being lazy. She's also readily available if you are the type of student who utilizes office hours. And the oppurtunities for extra credit are usually fun, such as watching a movie about the time period you are studying, then answering some questions.
