Comment:

Class itself is good, lectures and assignments are clear but Dr. Early is a terrible person who will belittle you without a second thought. Also hates the BEd program for some reason and will try to convince anyone who will listen not to do it and will make you feel stupid for wanting to.

It is true that she can be rude and kind of stuck up, but if you don't skip her classes and do the readings her classes are fairly easy. Also no exams!

She's tough, but fair. Do not skip her class. Do not neglect your readings. Do not forget about homework from her. So long as you show up on time, prepared, and with a good attitude she'll provide you with a good experience.

Comment:

I was not impressed with Dr. Early. She can be super nice but then turns around on people and she has been unfair to me and has told me I cannot do things basically belittling me and making me wonder why i just wasted 3.5 years of my life. She can be incredibly rude as well. At least she is clear in her lectures...

Comment:

Dr. Early is something of an enigma -- one day, she can be the sweetest woman on the planet, and the next it is like she does not know you exist. This is not intentional, knowing her how I do, it's just strange. I enjoyed her classes, though.

Shes nice when she wants to be, she is really annoying sometimes. She's not to bad of a marker but if you do get a bad mark she'll let you know about it and how she feels.

Dr. Early is a fantastic prof, she makes sure you understand all the material by emphasizing things and restating key facts. Her assignments are easy and her document quizzes are easy as long as you read the chapter. Great prof hopefully I will have her again.

Comment:

She's such a fun lady! Dr. Early always spices up her lectures with funny stories about her own life and you can tell she really has a passion for what she teaches. I actually looked forward to going to her class. If you do the readings and listen to the lectures, her classes are a breeze. One complaint though: she doesn't like to answer questions!

Comment:

She's got a weird personality. One day she's very nice and the next she's just mean. She tells people to ask questions then makes them feel stupid for asking a question. I didn't like the 20 minute lecture she gave the 1st class about how students shouldn't be working and going to school. I felt like asking her "Are you gonna pay my tuition?"

Comment:

I really dislike Dr. Early. I enjoyed the class but really disagree with her teaching ethics. She hates when students interupt her by asking questions, and most of the time you can go all class with your hand up. What can you expect though, she's american.

Comment:

at first i was not a fan, its not that shes hard she expects her studetns to be proffessional, in the way they talk and present. makes you really think and she will tell you if your wrong but at least you know where you are. she also still remembers you and talks to you once your finished her class. she works out alot too(must keep her happy)

Comment:

I'm also on the fence with Frances. I got a bad mark on her Internet Assignment, which I contest to this day, but since that time my marks have been consistent A's. It's difficult to be a male in a class with her I think. I don't have any direct evidence of this, it's just a feeling I get. Can be very aggressive some days but a sweetheart the next.

It is true what you've read about her, she is hard to get used to. She is hostile, and sometimes when you ask questions shes rude. She does talk a lot about America, but somedays she is pleasent.

I'm still on the fence with her. One minute she's nice, the next she's flat out rude. I woouldn't want to take another one of her classes. (PS: since she's american that's the only country she talks about!)
