Comment:
Thought the class would be a breeze being that posc is my major... she only gives four tests with mini quizes including the final.. the first three tests are impossible... and the only reason i got a b in the class was because she takes all the questions from the previous tests and puts them on the final.

Class is easy. However, conservatives beware! This is one of the few classes where voicing your informed opinion WILL hurt your grade if it differs from hers. If you feel like you can keep your mouth shut and just regurgitate info, take the class by all means.

Tests are extremely hard. You have to definitely put some time into studying. 8 am was rough, but she's a nice lady and you'll love her if you're liberal. There is an attendance policy, but I was really sick and missed a quiz and she was so nice about it. Not too bad of a class

Exams are TOUGH even though they're all multiple choice. Really nice lady, but be prepared to study and pay attention in class.

Okay...there is so much reading. The lady took a class on how to "test your knowledge" with multiple choice questions. Pop quizes on the reading, lecture is boring, and tests are HARD!

8AM CLASS SUCKS! Her notes are all online and her lectures aren't that bad, but her tests are HORRIBLE! do NOT take her 8am class unless you have three years worth of coffee (that'll last you a month in this class)

She is really nice and easy to talk to. If you do all the questions on the study guide you will get an A or a B on the exams. Go to class, if you skip a lot you lose points in the class.

Comment:
Unprofessional and unclear. I felt as though I was being taught by a 16 year old girl. Handed back assignments 4 months later and on the last day of class and was extremely hard to get ahold of. Grading did not make sense and was extremely unfair.

DO NOT TAKE AT 8AM!! Tests are insanely hard; even if you completely understand concepts. Lectures are like high school and tests make you want to die...Sweet lady, but ther'es got to be an easier one out there

She's a good teacher. Boring, but knows her stuff. EXTREMELY LIBERAL. She is good about discussing with students and not just lecturing. Her tests are difficult, but passable. Good class for a solid B.

Good lectures, but super hard tests. Half the class failed our first test and she scaled it 2 points (why bother). Expects way too much for a gened. If you want a chance of getting an A don't take her.

The 20pg research paper isnt that bad... you get to pick your own topic. The tests are though and she grades them hard. No final exam in this class just the paper. She is a funny & nice lady. Allows you to miss some classes.
