Comment:

Online work easy, easy to get ahead, you can finish the class before the semester is over. Class if common sense and her syllabus is clearing. If you are 5 points within the next letter grade then she'll bump you up. No reason to fail this class, just got to remember due dates and complete the assignments. Pre tests and posts test are simple and HW

Online class had 5-6 weekly assignments but those were super easy. You can even skip ahead and complete future modules. No papers, no "exams" just weekly participation, activities, ect... due dates was always the same Sun @ 11:59pm- very easy class if you stay on top of your assignments!

Was a pretty easy online class. Make sure you do the work every week though because missing a deadline will kill your grade and she does not extend deadlines.

Instructor has really bad communication skills, either will take long to respond or wont respond at all. She has been a very tough grader. Definitely do not recommend to take this class and I would not take it again.

Comment:

This class is okay but the LearnSmart homework is unhelpful. And it is mandatory in order to pass the class since that's all she uses. Teacher has not reached out to the class since the syllabus has been posted at the beginning of the semester. She isn't necessarily unhelpful because I haven't asked her for anything, but she seems distant.

Easy A! You have weekly assignments which consist of: Pre-Test, 2 Short Assignments, 1 Study Guide and a Post-Test. You can do it on the weekend if you have no time during the week. I would recommend to take the online one it is a guaranteed A if you do all your assignments.

Easy class. Tests are easy and as long as you do your weekly message boards, you're fine. Tests are based on movies dealing with delinquents. Tests online too.

Comment:

Class is automated online with all assignments available at the beginning of the semester. She wrote the book for the course and sells that but other than that she was very unhelpful. Did not get a single email or announcement from her the entire semester. Did not assist me when I emailed her. Easy course but not a great professor.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! There are 2 test and 3 assignments due every week. I know that sounds like a lot but its really not. You can do the assignments (multiple choice question) as many times as you want until you get 100%. Once you do the assignments the test are really easy. Honestly I spend about only 45 min a week on this class. Its really easy!!

Always helpful. More than willing to go the extra. I love her a professor and would recommend her. I dont know what the other people on here are saying. She is the greatest! :) Just because a class is hard and a teacher expects you to put in some effor

She sucks as a teacher, and is an unhelpful person. Never returned e-mails for an online class. I was supposed to finish in Sping'05 but she claimed she didn't recieve a paper. She failed me, went on vacation, and when she returned she finally found my

She's definitely out there in left field. Her online lectures are sure to put you to sleep, but with open book tests, you don't really need to listen to them. Weekly discussion board dialogue is required twice a week. Very easy class.
