The quizzes were a bit difficult but if you just read over your notes you will be fine. Be sure to participate, she is really great and caring for sure take her class.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2217840","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:38:15.679522+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI4MTkxNjcw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2217840","instructor_name":"Gloria Whiting","course_label":"HISTORY101","course_id":"HISTORY 101","course_uid":"course_2b4d35ea75108be033dce1d9","review_date":"2017-05-02 21:44:44 +0000 UTC","comment":"My favorite class at UW.  Prof Whiting is amazing!  The lectures are engaging; she makes history exciting!  Lectures involve participation, which makes the class fun.  There are no cumulative exams, but 6 quizzes.  It is a fair way to gauge your understanding of material.  The papers were on interesting topics.  10/10 recommend!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2217840","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:38:15.679522+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI3OTYyNTAx","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2217840","instructor_name":"Gloria Whiting","course_label":"HISTORY101","course_id":"HISTORY 101","course_uid":"course_2b4d35ea75108be033dce1d9","review_date":"2017-03-29 01:19:56 +0000 UTC","comment":"Prof. Whiting is very knowledgable about her lecture material.  Hist 101 was set up PERFECTLY for students juggling other classes, although theres a decent amount of work, the material is made interesting by her lectures.  No cumulative tests, which is awesome... just check-in quizzes and papers.  10/10 would take her if you have the chance!","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2217840","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":3.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:31:56.464773+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTIyNTI3Mjg4","source_instructor_id":"rmp:226197","instructor_name":"John Sharpless","course_label":"HISTORY101","course_id":"HISTORY 101","course_uid":"course_2b4d35ea75108be033dce1d9","review_date":"2013-12-12 16:05:07 +0000 UTC","comment":"Sharpless is the man! Very passionate and very knowledgeable about early US history. Humorous (and sometimes wacky) asides during lecture here and there help keep you awake and laughing, hopefully. As mentioned in earlier rating, he does pretend to be heavily conservative but it's mainly for humor's sake, keeps material very objective.

However, since he gives you the questions a head of time he grades really hard on the tests.  All of the tests are blue book essays.  There is a lot of reading in this class.  His lectures are interesting but he is always on a tangent and never really on topic.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/226197","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":4.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:31:56.464773+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTEwNzY0MDAw","source_instructor_id":"rmp:226197","instructor_name":"John Sharpless","course_label":"HISTORY101","course_id":"HISTORY 101","course_uid":"course_2b4d35ea75108be033dce1d9","review_date":"2005-10-11 17:57:06 +0000 UTC","comment":"Pretty good prof, but his jokes get old quickly","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/226197","quality_rating":3.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:31:56.464773+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTI4NTgzMjE=","source_instructor_id":"rmp:226197","instructor_name":"John Sharpless","course_label":"HISTORY101","course_id":"HISTORY 101","course_uid":"course_2b4d35ea75108be033dce1d9","review_date":"2004-11-30 01:00:24 +0000 UTC","comment":"funny, yet boring lectures","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/226197","quality_rating":5.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:29:17.971169+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTMzNjYxNTY0","source_instructor_id":"rmp:2621864","instructor_name":"Justine Walden","course_label":"HISTORY101","course_id":"HISTORY 101","course_uid":"course_2b4d35ea75108be033dce1d9","review_date":"2020-09-24 21:45:30 +0000 UTC","comment":"Probably one of the worst teachers Ive ever had. Quizzes have nothing to do with the material covered in the lectures. No homework so your grade relies heavily on your quizzes and papers. Questions on quiz will have to do with very specific things that were in your text book so I hope you are a good reader.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/2621864","quality_rating":1.0,"difficulty_rating":5.0}]
