I had Dr. Parkyn years ago, and her classes are one of my fondest memories from academia. What a bright, caring, and generous person! I smile just thinking of that infectious laugh!

Comment:

She is an extremely nice woman but probably the worst teacher I've ever had. She doesn't explain anything properly if she explains it at all, but expects her students to understand what she is looking for anyway.

Comment:

Excellent teacher! She really cares about her students and wants the best for and from them! I loved her testing style--I found it to be very fair and comprehensive. She tells really funny stories and her classes pivot around discussion. I've learned more from her classes than any other classes I've taken at Messiah...take Parkyn!
