Comment:

AWFUL!! RUN! terrible teaching skills and completely RUDE. checkpro still has issues..and she sometimes helps in class (which usually is very little help at all)...but if you expect any sort of help outside of class...you can forget it. once it hits time to go...she's "off duty".once she opend my syllabus and told me to figure it out. not worth it!

Comment:

Take this class if you want to learn how to type well. It's so easy and super beneficial to your entire life. The grades are based on work you do in class, and a few easy tests. There is no homework, unless you are a really bad typer, in which case you should practice a little extra. Easy A. Just go to class, it's not hard, it's worth it in the end

Yeah, I agree! Guinee Pigs for Check pro should have made out better than they did! The program sucked and the grades reflect that. I thought Mrs. T would have compensated for the difficulty we had with the program. I want my A!

I didnt care for her at all. She was rude and made it feel like it was an inconvience to help other students. Recommend to get a different professor!

I am currently taking BA 145 with C.L. Brown. I recommend you take Brown, b/c she actually likes to help you & is a great teacher. Will catch every mistake that you make though. Take Brown for these courses if you want a better teacher than Townsend!!!

she does not know what is going on and confuses you more than helps you. Take this course as an online course because you teach yourself anyway in this class.

It is true that the book will teach you more than she will. If you are a student who needs the Prof. to spell it out for you...well, your screwed...

When I had her, she had didn't know the book and if you didn't get your work done to perfection, you were toast. She didn't like to help us very much either.

The class is very steady, you always have enough time to finish your work, if you have experience, and can leave when you're done. She'll find EVERY mistake though so be careful.

Mrs. Townsend isn't as mean as a lot of people say. If you make an honest effort in the class and treat her with respect, you'll have no problems.
