2.   My overall evaluation of this course is...
the best history class Iʻve taken thus far!
aight
I extremely enjoyed this course! Professor Compoc was great at explaining the historical trauma that the U.S. has put on various groups of people. Professor was very likable and great with the student as well. It was very easy to talk to her, and I know I would be able to ask her anything about the course as well.
Provided excellent perceptions on topics of American History that are often over-simplified or glorified to make the issues one-sided. Prof. Compoc challenged us to think about major events from multiple perspectives and nuanced complexities. The course covered a wide timeline of America’s sordid past and offered an unvarnished view of the motives, movements, wars, leaders, uprisings, and the highs and lows of how we became the country we are today.
This course was by far my favorite and most informational course this semester. I have learned a lot about U.S. history in such a short amount of time.
The course was awesome and very interesting to learn deeper into history that is not taught at the lower levels of schooling.
This course has been a great experience with a professor who is truly passionate about the topics we discuss, and I have learned so many details about historical events I had never known about before. While a lot of the events were very brutal, raw, and we covered lots of historical trauma, I feel I was able to dig a lot deeper into the subject at hand as we uncovered how real these events were, and it's impacts. Overall a great course that teaches you a lot of history you would not normally learn outside of this class, as it dives deep into the truth of it all.
Great course with great content!
I really liked this course. I plan on taking another class from Dr.Compoc.


3.   If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?
It enhanced my personal development by showing me that even if there is a lot of trauma to unpack with history itʻs not impossible to do. That trigger warnings are highly suggested with certain topics, and that students need a time to discuss after heavy topics.
helpful
It will definitely help with knowing the important things to tell my future elementary school students, and helpful it would be to be able to give that knowledge onto the kids.
This class may have provided me with new historical outlook but it has provided me with oral presentation skills as well. This is beneficial to me because I will be doing a lot of presentations and oral presentations as I continue my journey into my degree.
No, it was just to fulfill the Oral Communication requirement, but I did learn a lot from this class.
This course has led me to enhance my historical knowledge and perspective on the U.S. as a nation.
It helped alot with helping me understand more histortical facts and events
I was able to learn a lot not just about American history but world history as well. I learned about places like Slovenia and Germany.

Nothing needs to be added as everything that we do in this course is enough and it makes it fun to learn about history even if it is traumatic.
A variety of study materials/platforms such as quizlet. Maybe adding interactive study methods/ review methods would help as well!

17.   Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.
Itʻs so hard because all of that information is so needed, but I feel like we went by so fast on certain things that I wasnʻt able to cellected everything. Maybe having guided notes would work.
Too many quizes
NA.
Nothing is needed to improve the class, except for maybe more time to get all the information out.
Trying not to overcomplicate certain topics so that we can have better understanding.
N/A
None, I love the course as it is.


18.   My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
you can tell how passionate she is about her content, and it helped stay engaged with the lessons so well.
good
Dr.Compoc is a wonderful instructor and I wish I had the time to take more classes from her. She truly does not hold back about the trauma that we face within our own countries history and that's what makes my learning experience so much better. I truly enjoyed has she can relate our history to events here happening in our own little island.
The instructor was awesome and was engaged with the class and made every topic worthy of listening to no matter how boring the reading might have been.
Professor Compoc has been one of the most effective, fun, and engaging professors I've had yet! She helps us to view important historical subjects with a deeper look into the way it connects to our world today, and take in the impacts of historical trauma. She created a course that was just the right amount of material, studying, review, group work, documentaries, and lecture time. Overall very balanced!
Very passionate about history and I would take from her class again! She made sure I was on track with my learning as well!
I really enjoyed Dr.Compoc's class. It offered me a lot and I was able to walk away from this class with a lot of new knowledge. This class gave me the closest feeling to in-person that I've had in both of my years here at UHWO. I loved this class, I will definitely be taking more classes from Dr.Compoc.
