She expects you to show up to class and do the work. Pay attention to the lectures. If you show up and do the work, you should be okay.

Comment:

She's a really sweet lady, but she doesn't make it to class half the time because of an illness. Expect class to get cancelled a lot, but don't expect that to make tests any easier. Not much is graded besides the tests and there aren't many tests. Also, her lectures are just that: Lectures. An hour and fifteen minutes of straight talking. Good luck

Comment:

Hardly showed up to class, and when she didn't, students had no way of knowing until they got to campus. Her quizzes are like exams and her exams are like finals. Very, very tough, and not approachable.

Doesn't help you understand what is excepted for her test. She doesn't show up for class sometimes without telling you that class is cancelled.

She is very bad about showing up to class. She is also very bad at grading tests and quiz's. She is not easy to find and talk too.

Knows her stuff and will engage you in class if you have put some effort into learning anything substantial about the subject. I'd take her class again.

Comment:

Her class is completely lecture, so if you are not good at taking verbal notes you are SOL, Her attendance is also poor she cancels class without warning a lot and is a few minutes late every single day. Out of class she is a relatively nice lady, but in class she can be cruel.

Comment:

Just the worst. It's nearly July and I still don't have a grade. I call and email but I can't contact her at all. I took an essay test that she missed several pages of. I went to her to get it fixed and rather than writing a note to herself to correct it, she scribbled something on my test. I asked if she would remember and she didn't. Avoid!!!

Comment:

This is a tough professor to rate. With some distance of time, I realize I learned an incredible amount, but the lack of organization and erratic personality of this professor is frustrating. She's memorable, I'll give her that. I wouldn't recommend her for peace of mind or an easy grade, but still...when she's on her game she's brilliant.

Comment:

I'll put it this way: the classes are interesting but her teaching methods are often not. She often misses class, without prior warning, and often forgets her place in class, leading to lectures being repeated. The syllabus WILL change. The classes are easy, and if you do the work you will learn a lot.

Comment:

I learned so much in her class. She sometimes was not there, but she made up for it by having study session where she took us out to eat and another time got us pizza. I still use the info I learned in that class for other things. She's very interesting.

Comment:

Most of the time she doesn't show up for class. When she does, many times we were dismissed early. Test material is rarely very relevant to discussion. She also grades harshly. C is the majority in her class.

Comment:

Dr. Hrenchir is one of the most unapproachable professors at BSU. She is very unclear when it comes to classroom discussion related to test material. Good luck getting a grade better than a C average if you show any male qualities at all.

Comment:

Would work self into guilty Catholic rage and blame us for it; no correlation between study guides and tests so as to approach dadaism, would not return materials, would psychotically repeat self into vigorous lather that included screaming, wailing, then abruptly dismissing class, berating us all on her way out. Students wished death upon selves.
