Comment:
When I learned that I had to take research, I was almost puked. But after a few months with Dr. P, it was not so bad - in fact, I really liked it. She obviously loves this topic. I am graduating soon and I wish she was here to see me off. Tiger fixation? Yes! Did you know she is a Zen Priest? She would not talk about it in class.

very beneficial class. plus she's a riot. get her started on tigers, and you'll waste lots of class time. one of my favorite teachers. she's a total goon, but it makes the class interesting.

Oh Dr. P! What a great teacher! She is by far one of the best Com profs that Bradley has, it'll be sad to see her go! Makes class fun & helps the students understand material that would be nearly impossible with any other teacher! Uses real life examples to make students understand the class! Bradley neesd to hire more teachers like her!

Dr. P is unique! She gets to know her students. I was in her first class she taught at BU and to this day, she still communicates with me! She has had a profound impact on my life b/c of her teaching!

Pretty cool teacher. Quirky as hell, and she talks about Tigers a lot, but she knows what she is doing and wants to see her students succeed. This is not to say that she is easy, she isn't. You will learn a lot with Dr. Pfeifer. Won't put up with whiners either (this is a good thing).

Pretty easy! I heard horror stories but was pleasently suprised. Her only downfall is her ridiculously bad jokes. If you can get past her quirky personality and horrible fashion...you'll be great!

What an interesting lady! Tons of work experience, applies it to the subject matter. Weird trivia expert. Have to go to class, though. Does NOT like whiners so save it for your friends.

Dude- this prof tries to make boring stuff fun (and actually succeeds most of the time). She's cool even if she doesn't completely agree with the economic necessity of efficient drafts that happen to disproportionately impact minority populations. As you can see, class discussion can be interesting.

Wellllll what can I say about Dr. P? She's an odd duck. She bumped my grade up at the end of the semester, so I can't complain too much. She's ... weird ... but talented ... but weird. Has experience, but talks about cheese and**** a lot.

Gets defensive when you ask questions and takes it as if you are attacking her. Can't discuss the information she's teaching and makes it the students fault when they ask questions. The course may be an easy A, but I recommend taking a teacher with better communication skills.

I didn't mind her but a fairly tough grader. You have to work hard to get an A. Make sure not to miss more than the allowed absences...it will kill your grade and she's a definite stickler to her rules.

She get moody if you don't do your homework. On the other hand, if you go to her office hours, she will help you a lot. Don't tell her that you just want a grade - that sets her off too. Unrealistic - expects me to read for fun.

She does put the powepoints up on blackboard. So you can catch what you missed. Is also fair about test questions (you can dispute if you can back up your point with the textbook) and good at answering questions. Brings a lot of agency experience class

I loved this class. The discussions on ethics really made me think about stuff I'd never even considered, and she turned me into a really critical and regular newspaper reader. The NYT rocks! Who knew?
