i learned absolutely nothing from this class. the professor read directly from her power points and the book. none of the assignments were due until the end of the semester and none of them were well explained.

Comment:

Literally just reads off of powerpoint slides and ad libs any elaboration. Arbitrarily cancelled class -twice- because she "wasn't feeling well" after everyone had already shown up. Can't pronounce half the course vocabulary but has strong, stubborn opinions about the rhetoric she's "teaching." Take this class online- I should've.

Comment:

Prof. Spolsky is very nice, but not a very good teacher. She reads word for word off of the powerpoints but doesn't explain what she is talking about. Weekly case studies that either came straight out of the book or you weren't taught the information needed to answer the questions. 40 hours of volunteer work required and a big final portfolio.

Comment:

Professor Spolsky was extremely nice and knowledgable. For my class, there is a required 40 hours of community service, a presentation/slideshow, an interview with a social worker, and a paper (5-8 pgs.). You need to come to class in order to receive points. Do the work, and it will be an easy A. Thank you for a great semester, Mrs. Spolsky! :)

Comment:

This was a spring class and you have take-home tests every week. All the answers were straight out of the book and she would still argue with you saying it was wrong. She read her powerpoints not explaining anything. She was not meant to be a teacher. I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm going into teaching and this was a horrible role model.

Comment:

She requires 40 hours of volunteer work, which was easy. I called a week after class to ask for a letter of confirmation that I did the 40 hours and she said she would, and a month later I hadn't heard from her since. Great and easy class, but don't expect a reference letter if your program of study requires it, because she doesn't seem to care.

Comment:

She is such a great professor. She may not respond to your emails, but she will assist you with anything you need help with. Just make sure to bring it up to her before or after class. There isn't many tests, three for our class. There is a round circle critical thinking almost every class and if you are not there you won't get credit for it.

Comment:

She was a great professor for this class, just be aware she makes you do 8 hours of community service for a project. She gives 100 question tests that are take home and you have one week to take them, so that's a plus. She also offered extra credit, so take it with her!

Easy class, 3 take home tests and the final is a paper about how the class affected you. There is a lot of group work which accounts for a lot of your grade. She isn't very personable and can be a little rude.
