Comment:

Linda is a great professor but sometimes she can come on strong and a bit too intense. She WILL make you a better student and better future educator but you best believe that YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK YOUR ASS OFF FOR IT. My best advice go to her office hours. Go to class. Do the work. You will survive. BTW does not give 100% on anything, tough grader

Nancy is a passionate professor. She loves education and she gave me a lot of good information I will use in my career. She is willing to help outside of class and makes the class get really close with each other. Overall great lady and a decent prof.

Comment:

Loved her teaching style, but she only returned one paper via email after the semester was over. To be fair (or unfair) she gave everyone a 4.0...easy A whether your attendance is perfect or you miss a few classes. Great for the lazy, not so great for the hardworking student.

Nancy is an AMAZING professor. She pulled the class together to be a strong community and all of us looked forward to attending her class every week. She talked over tough issues with us and helped us to understand how to handle the difficult tasks we are to face as teachers. This was by far my favorite class I taken. I would highly recommend her.

Nancy is a GREAT professor! She creates a comfortable classroom community where everyone works together. If you're shy you'll definitely break out of your shell in this class. It didn't feel like a class at all but rather but hanging out with nancy and the rest of the class discussing whatever. You'll learn a lot in her class!

Nancy was a great professor. Given the opportunity, I would take her again. She forces you to determine the kind of teacher you want to be. The class was very beneficial.

Comment:

She was the worst teacher I have every had. She made my whole class feel uncomfortable. She was extremely rude, unprofessional, and did not know how to teach. I learned nothing in her class! She was unfair and would embarrass students in front of the whole class. I hated her and would NOT recommend her as a teacher at all.

Nancy Brown is the best!!! She real makes you think about your role as an educator. In her class I really figured out what kind of teacher I want to be. If you can take EED 420/354 with Nancy, then do it! She shows what classroom community can be like. She takes a real interest in you as a person!

Nancy is just wonderful! She's not like most professors here at OU she actually cares about you as a person. If she sees your stressed, she will push back dates on assignments, or even get rid of them.. She really is a caring professor! I highly reccomend her to anyone who is looking for a great experience in 354/420! The field is cool 2 too!!!
