Comment:

Not a great teacher, lectures are given off slides and very boring, monotone lectures. Also does not seem to teach much content, a test from another class seemed much harder.

Comment:

Very boring class. The only reason I took it is because it was mandatory for the major. You don't even need the book so dont waste your time and money on it. All you do is take notes off of power points and watch videos on youtube. She's really annoying and closed minded and not clear. Only take it with her if you have to.

The most boring class you could ever take. Yes, it was easy but it is so boring it's not worth it.

Comment:

This class was a chore to get to. It is a required course for the program, but she is not the one to take it from. She is not enthusiastic and very closed minded. Nothing is good enough. And she has confusing grading- I got a's on the tests & projects and somehow got a B. Not a fan of hers, would not recommend.

Comment:

She's nice enough, but her opinion is pretty much always right. I liked the class because it's very easy as long as you either read the book or take notes in class, but it goes by very slow.

Comment:

This class was VERY easy. All lectures are read off a PPT that she's still struggling to work w/ notes taken verbatim from the book. Her voice is dull but the info's helpful. Extra credit is constant, tests are simple. If you talk to her after class and participate when questions are asked, you'll get on her good side. Very easy and helpful class.

Comment:

One of the MOST USELESS & TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGED professors out there. It is frustrating just sitting in her class listening to her. So boring, so dull, so annoying. If you can weigh out dullness by easiness... Go for it.

Comment:

Very boring and dry, reads notes verbatim off a powerpoint and paper. Other than that, the class is an easy A. She gives extra credit opportunities almost every week and her tests are simple multiple choice dealing with definitions that she gives. You wont really get much out of it though if you're an EMF major.

Comment:

One of the most dull professors I have ever had. Get the textbook, because she reads straight from it. She's very monotonous and always seems to be in a different world, but I do think she knows the subject matter well. The projects aren't bad, she's not a hard grader, she counts attendance, and makes for some class jokes.

Comment:

Stands in front of class reading verbatim out of her notes, which are usually verbatim out of the book. Every once in a while, she Googles a picture of something related to what she's talking about. Sometimes she'll find a YouTube video.

Comment:

Boring, after the first couple of days you'll be fighting yourself to stay awake. Doesn't care about your opinion, when you speak it she will reply with "Hmm, that's interesting." Has a dreadfully annoying cough that enters her speech about once every minute.

Comment:

She is a really nice woman and she tries to make you understand everything, but she is just a little off. She is strange, but I do like her because her class is pretty easy. She gives A LOT of extra credit and it helsp A LOT! It turned one of my tests from a C to a B+!

Comment:

If you have patience then you will be fine in this class. Her voice is hard to put up with but everything is easy. All you do is watch art movies and write about them. Outside class you just write in your journal every once in a while. Requirements are loose. Good mushy good grade class, if ya know what I mean.

she is great, i dont care if she smokes everyday, I do, so why should I be preachy about it. She is easy and nice, no tests, I think everyone should have a class with her.

Comment:

this teacher manages to take an easy, realtively interesting course and turn it into torture. THE WORST TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD! I could do this entire course in like a week. I think she is on some kind of drug and has no (fair) system of grading. Prone to random yelling fits and abuses students

Comment:

AWFUL. The teacher seems like she smokes up every day before teaching. Has no idea what she is talking about and has no method to her grading. If you can sit though all the bs i recommend it for an easy A. One paper, two art muesum visits and a journal where u keep notes...easy

Comment:

Dropped her class because after 3 excused absenses, your grade goes down. I can understand 3 unexcused absences but you should not limit excused absenses (and if you do, certainly not at 3) Was late the first day to.
