Comment:

If the professor doesn't care enough to make the class informative or relevant, why should anyone care enough to attend? My advice, find a prof who wants students to learn about the subject matter and benefit from being in class.

Comment:

realized too late that her cold demeanor and aloof attitude was a tipoff that this field really is a waste of time.... the moral highground she puts off really is undeserved by a profession where you spend more time humoring trash than doing anything.

She is not as bad as everyone says. She actually is a really easy grader. It's boring stuff, but she tries to keep it interested. I got a 4.0 and barely tried...

Comment:

The politics is viscious, vain, and downright nasty. It sullies the reputation of social work as a helping profession, and will certainly activate your gag reflex more than anything else.

unpleasant. theres a reason she looks like that mean doctor on ER. the school's in general over-reliance on "distance education" puts people on site at a disadvantage I believe. you have to wait for all this other technical nonsense in a class nearly four hours long.....
