Comment:

Very hard grader, talks about her animals all class. Definitely plays the favorite card when it comes to students. Also is very hard to get a hold of, does not email back or answer phone calls to her office. Would not recommend taking her class to anyone.

Comment:

She is an extremely hard grader and thinks her class is very important. She is very critical and can come off the wrong way at times. you must put effort into this class in order to succeed. I recommend not taking this class with a heavy course-load.

She talked about her basset hounds and her boarder collies (sp) allll class time. Hard grader and the tests always snuck up on you. Class time was always spent talking about her lifetime experiences. HOWEVER YOU WILL HAVE FUN IN THIS CLASS. take it! just take notes even tho you think the class is laidback

Comment:

She is the best most interesting professor on campus. Honestly take a class with her even if you don't need it because you will have fun. Don't take her classes and slack off though she is a professor who actually cares for her students and feels bad if you don't work hard/don't care/are a waste of space

I love Dr. Downing. She lays out her expectations at the beginning of the semester and is clear with her grading policy. I am fortunate enough to have her not only as an instructor but also as an advisor!
