Comment:

3 exams, 4 papers (can work in groups). attendance isn't mandatory but if you skip you won't be able to get that information from just her powerpoints. bring a laptop to type every single word she says. study even the info you think is irrelevant for the exams and try wording it weirdly when studying bc her questions won't be what you expect.

Comment:

Wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. Class is very lecture heavy, and I would highly recommending bringing a laptop because she gives you ALOT of info in a short period of time. Also, study ALOT for the exams (100 Qs - multiple choice, t/f, matching), but if you know the material you'll do fine. She also gave 4 short papers which weren't bad.

Comment:

She wasn't terrible...3 exams and 4 papers but the 4th paper is super short and you can do all of them in groups. Tests were hard but doable if you study A LOT. Bring your laptop and type every word she says because she puts every single thing on the test. Class is tiring because you always have to be typing and paying very close attention.

Comment:

As a person she's nice, but as a professor she is the worst. No one can follow what she is talking about in lectures because she rambles about nonsense. Your grade consists of two very long papers (only 25 points each), a midterm (100 pts), and a final (100 pts). Basically if you do bad on an exam, you're done. Boring too.

Comment:

You could write down every word that comes out of her mouth during lectures and you still won't get the questions right on the test. All she does is lecture in a confusing way. Every single question is a trick and it makes you feel stupid. This semester she did in class short writing assignments and 2-3 page reviews instead of pop quizzes.

Comment:

Attendance is optional and does not give you points, but she still does roll call. Tempted to skip? If you miss a pop quiz - you receive a zero, no make ups. DONT MISS! I worked very hard in this class for a B. Many nights were spent crying. Two 100 point tests, pop quizzes, and some homework. Work hard even during times there seems to be no point.

Comment:

Write down every single thing she says & even that isn't enough. Tests are extremely specific & questions are based off tiny details she mentions during lecture. Your grade is based off of two 100 point tests and 100 points worth of pop quizzes. Never hands back tests so never sure what you got wrong. Supposedly changes class each semester.

Comment:

Those that can inspire should teach --she is not. No textbook/handouts -strictly lecture-no taping her lectures. Tests are all open ended questions-upwards to 70 questions-never enough time. Condescending, not helpful,power crazy, hopes you fail, takes pleasure in telling all "you are not good enough". Gives an otherwise great program a bad name

Write down every single thing she says and memorize it all. All of her tests are open ended and cover ever single obscure piece of information she ever mentioned in class.

Comment:

Don't get me wrong. This professor know a lot about communication disorders. However, she does not know how to teach! Her lectures are extremely long and boring. She drags everything out. Her tests are worded completely different than how she lectures. I went to her for help and she just said she would "cross her fingers for me". No help at all!:

She does not go over the material as well as the other SPP professors do. I feel like I barely learned anything from her and wish she was not a professor here.

Comment:

Go to class, either write down or record everything that she says (I typed my notes). When she gives you the study guide, which is just a list of terms and concepts to know, add all of the notes you have for that term and study from that. Tests are all short answer but not very long responses are needed. However, your hand will cramp up at times.

Comment:

While her tests are difficult and tricky, she is very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. I was in a Tuesday and Thursday class and sometimes it got very dull... but as long as you take good note and use her study guide it's a pretty easy B.

Comment:

Try to avoid having her as a professor or advisor if you can...they say you can't change advisors but it's been done. Previous comments are correct, do not ask for a letter of recommendation. she is deceitful; as outstanding a student you may be, she will insult you in some way...this comes from many students

Bring you laptop to class and type every word she says. The tests are all short answers 25 questions (a-f) so it is longer than she makes it sound. EXTREMELY HARD so you need to attend class bc her pwrpts are only the titles and study a lot! She is very nice and willing to help though

Comment:

Very knowledgeable and experienced in the clinic. Her teaching style takes a little while to get used to- LISTEN and TAKE GREAT NOTES. Everything she says is important. Study ahead of time to do well on the tests- they are extensive. Learned a lot once I got used to her lectures and exams. Don't drop her for an easier teacher.

Extremely knowledgeable about clinical practice. Runs a very orderly, lecture-based class. Tests are completely open-ended responses. Must come to class, take good notes, and study hard for an A

Please Heed this Warning! No matter what your GPA is or how well you do in her class, do NOT ask her to write a letter of recommendation. This comes from several students that have had high GPA's and got an A in her class. She will give you a smile and promise to write a good letter - she is deceitful. Please consider anyone else!
