Comment:

The tests are easy, she gives a review sheet. Aside for that, shes not good. WAY TOO MANY projects and she gives attitude. If you ask anything, shell smile, but at the same time shell stare at you and make you feel like an idiot. She almost laughs at your questions. Idk how shes an elementary teacher. When she reads the books, its sooooo dulllll.

Comment:

Many projects. Lesson plans (2), 2 quizzes, journal article summary, midterm, final. Large teacher made project and essay due at end of the term. Part of the final. Many other smaller projects. Requires a great deal of work. Just get ready to put in a lot of time. Make sure you speak face to face if you have questions. the email thing didn't work.

Comment:

She assigned way too many projects that were extremely time consuming. She doesn't use class time to teach anything at all, and she expects everyone to know what they are supposed to do, even though she doesn't explain how she wants each project done. She even gives you an attitude if you ask questions or don't understand something.

Comment:

Has you do more than the required work needed for this course. Can be mean but smiles at the same time. Tells you to buy book but gives you packet of definitions directly from the text. Don't take this class with a huge course load. Too much work, time consuming and expensive.

A lot of work. She doesn't teach it's all presentations but you still have tests. She's nice to some people but she comes off as being fake.

Comment:

Don't trust your first instinct. She comes across as too serious and backward, but as time goes on she is a nice lady who wants you to o well as a teacher. Course is fun, but a little too much work, be prepared to do lots of projects. Tests are q's directly from rev. sheet, which she fills out, you just have to study it. Take her, her class is very

I absolutely LOVED Professor Hamilton. Her tests are so easy, she gives you a review of exactly what is going to be on them. She has so much enthusiasm for the class and is very helpful. It's as easy as this, hand in the work and you'll get an A. She is willing to help you out in any way possible, all you have to do is ask. TAKE HER :)

tests are easy she gives you exactly whats on them and all the notes you need. A lot of projects that you may or may not ever use, its time consuming but its fun and the presentations in class are worth it because they give you so many great ideas. Decent professor, this is not one of those classes that you can't stand going to.

I like professor Hamilton. Her projects are fun and she makes sure she explains what she wants from each student pretty clearly. I appreciate her love for children's literature and you don't have to sit and listen to a boring lecture everyday. The arts and crafts are fun!

She is a nice professor but she doesn't use class time to teach. There was always a person presenting some sort of project every class. Her tests are easy and she grades the assignments fairly. I would take her again.

I feel I'm learning nothing. She doesn't even teach and does not take your placement into consideration. The cooperating teacher is always right. The student is always wrong. Horrible horrible teacher.

This woman makes you afraid to come to class and is completely unclear with what she wants. Stay far far away. She will do anything in her power to give you the lowest possible grade. I'll be happy when she's fired.

Comment:

Do not take her. This professor doesn't work for her students but against them. Will purposely lower your grade with a BS class participation grade and doesnt actually teach material. Tries to act professional but really just looks like a fool. Has an attitude she tries to cover up but can't.

Comment:

Wrote down how great my parent partner bag was all over the sheet but still only gave me a 50/60. Did not consider how much I improved over the course of the semester and let early assignments drag me down. overall, did not help when she had the chance to. I'm very disappointed because she has the potential to be a great professor but she's not.
