Comment:

She may be hard but she was the best of the best. Her class makes you grow up and actually see the real world of exceptions. Just do your work on time and you will be fine. It seems like a lot but once you get your act in gear it will come along just fine. And take my advice, get to know your professors.

Comment:

She may be a good teacher, but she has a horrible attitude. When you ask her a question that SHE doesn't understand she looks at you like you're stupid. The work load for the class is ridiculous, especially for it being an entry level class.

Comment:

I do not know what anyone is talking about. Dr. Springs is a very good teacher and teaches straight from the syllabus. All she wants is for her students to learn something. If you do the work you should get an A just like any college class. Come on people this is a university not highschool. Do the work and you will be rewarded.

Dr. Springs Is a really tough teacher, but if you do your work, come to class (everytime!), and rock the midterm and exam (portfolio) then you could come out with an A, unless you get on her bad side. Give her a break guys :)

Devil incarnate. Rude and abrasive in class. Unfair and harsh in grading projects. Makes it sound like running a daycare is the most prestigious job in the world. Very sad actually.

I absolutely love Dr. Springs! Her class is not for the faint at heart. Stay on top of your game, complete your projects in a timely manner and don't be moved by her personality. She is an excellent professor who is not tolerant of those who are not serious about the profession. Only 1 test and numerous projects. Not an easy A but must work hard.

Comment:

Dr. Springs is an intelligent, articulate professor who expects her class to follow directions. Sometimes her directions are confusing and she possesses an air of authority that could be regarded as snobbery but she knows her stuff. People: this is not a popularity contest.

Comment:

This was the WORSE class, I never had... She is RUDE and NASTY... Mrs. Spring was certainly a B****from the first day of class to the last. Do your self a BIG favor a take this course with another professor, or wait until she retires. The thoughtfuless and rude comments from her are limitless.. She's fully aware of the Nasty A** attitude so conside

Comment:

Dr.Springs was not so bad. She encouraged me a lot.I got an A in her class. Just do your work and pay attention. She tells some funny stories sometimes and takes pride in what she does. I like Dr.Springs and would encourage anyone that takes her class, to be prepared to do some work. The work's not too bad if you focus and stay prepared.

Comment:

She sucks as a teacher. She is very rude and not clear in directions. The only reason I am taking her class is because I couldn't get into Mrs. Deason class. I will never take a class with Dr. Springs again. She iwll make you feel stupid nad is very snobby to her students.

she is not as bad as everyone says- although she is rude and very particular about assignments, if you dont speak out in class, you'll be fine and she wont bother you, make sure you follow directions very closely

Comment:

She is an 'ok' teacher....wouldnt recommend her to the sensitive people. She can be stern but is needed to "weed out" the weaker individuals. There are times when she gets on my nerves, but as long as you do the work and pass the tests the agnoy will be over before you know it!

Comment:

Great teacher. She is honest and upfront about her office hours and times she is available. If you ever had a problem in her class you probably didn't read the syllabus or you probably can't take directions well. But if you acutally want to learn something she is a good professor.

Comment:

She was a complete witch. I hated her class. She had us doing unnecessary useless things. Because of her Child and Family Development is no longer my minor. She is a hard and tideous grader. She nit picks everything. You will spend a lot of time outside of class because of her projects.

Comment:

I ignored what I read on here and took her class anyway-DON'T DO WHAT I DID. She is knowledgable about child dev., but harsh, unfair, and made many girls cry. I saw her break many spirits this sem.- instead of building students up, she broke them down. I made a B, but I would NEVER take her again.
