Comment:

She is a really great professor, if she likes you. its important to go to her office hours and participate as much as possible because if so she will be more lenient with grading and extensions. She is extremely confusing sometimes with lectures in general and with assignments. She also often loses assignments and her class can be very annoying

Comment:

She has a tendency to email the night before class with about six hours worth of work that is expected to be done for the next day's class. AND although she gives drafts for papers, her comments do NOT help in the least. they create stress.

Comment:

Professor Oberbrunner is quite possibly the best professor I have ever had in my college career. I highly recommend taking a class from her if you can. She truly cares about her subject and really cares about the students - and that's not something you see everyday.

Professor Oberbrunner is honestly one of the best professors HWS has. She is excited, helpful, and extremely intelligent. Everyone should take at least one of her classes at some point during his or her college career.

Comment:

Took Intro to Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion with her. She is a brilliant lady with twice as much energy and enthusiasm as professors who are half her age. My favorite thing about her is that she is genuinely interested in the pursuit of truth. She is open to all thoughts, and encourages class discussion. Tests are rough, but it's worth it!

She is one of my favorite professors. She has an unbelievable passion for her work and she is always there if you need someone to talk to. You should look forward to having her as a professor if you are going to take her class although philosophy intself is sometimes difficult

Comment:

Took theories of reality. Her multiple choice quizes are killer but she is an easy essay grader. She has a different way of thinking which makes her unclear at time but she is always willing to help you out and clarify anything for you. She is a funny lady and is genuinely interested in what everyone has to say.

This woman is wonderful. While at first glance her class may seem like an easy A, Carol provides and atmosphere in wich her students take away the foundations of philosophy. The class is surely an investment in your future and ability to think.
