Comment:

Dr. McCrea is an excellent teacher. She helped us understand how to apply what we learned in her classroom into our future classrooms. She uses powerpoints which aren't mandatory to copy down, but they help immensely when you pay attention in class. She is extremely helpful.

Comment:

I found Dr. McCrea to be too old fashioned and a rote- learning type of instructor. Her tests would not pass most educational evaluations today because of the fill-in-the-blank questions and abbreaviations for terms. If you cannot think of the "exact word" that she wants on test question, good luck; she marks it wrong. Take Jacque Melin-briliant!

I actually was concerned with this course after reading the comments published at this website. What I found was completly opposite. My experience was awesome and thank god she was tough on us, it has only made me better. Those that didn't succeed and are jobless failed themselves. Awesome class.

Still resentful feelings after graduation. Would not recommend taking her classes if at all possible.

Comment:

Arrogant and unhelpful. Although she made some effort at helping my situation, she would not listen in the end and was unwilling to be flexible. She came across as many of the worst ed administrators who are former k-12 teachers do - unable to successfully make the transition to working with adults.

Waah, you're all a bunch of friggin' cry babies. Maybe you finally encountered the first professor (Dr.) to challenge you. I learned an amazing amount from Dr. McCrea and am happy to say I have an awesome teaching job now.

Comment:

i thought that most of the seminars were "Rincky Dink" and a complete waste of time. She wandered around acting as if she were a "talk show host" and could care less about her students. I think the program needs some "new blood"!

Comment:

What a b****! She is horrible for students who are just beginning a program. She is not helpful and is more interested in herself and furthering her career than in preparing students for classroom challenges. She speaks to students and colleages in a very condescending way. I couldn't imagine having to deal with her for more than one semester!

Comment:

She will NEVER back up a student over a coordinator, not even if the coordinator is blatantly in the wrong. She's egotistical and demands perfection when, in fact, she is not perfect herself (although she thinks she is). In spite of her ineptitude, I will finish at GVSU and say "adios" for GOOD.

Very irritating, egotistical, and horrible with computers! Will not take any blame on herself. She made the Education Program unbearable! All teachers are her ****. Thinks she's God. She reads this sight. Finds everyone is a coward-I have no problem telling her to her face. :)

This woman is everywhere, so there really isn't anyway to avoid her. I personally have not had any positive experiences with her. The one appointment I had she spent most of the time talking about how busy she is. I will graduate from G.V.inspite of her
