Comment:

You will learn nothing. Will be an easy but painful A. If you are good at writing essays on books you didn't read, she's the professor for you. She rambles and her assignments and grading are very unclear. Your grade consists completely of essay tests. You don't have to go to class and will wish you didn't if you do.

Comment:

She is a very interesting and unique person to say the least. Imagine Edna Mode (from the Incredibles) teaching a history course, that's basically it. The lectures normally have nothing to do with the content and make you wish you had stayed in bed. The exams are all essays. There are about 5 other papers due and a group final project.

Comment:

She's not a good professor. She will ramble on and on and on about things you will never be tested over for 40 minutes out of 50 minutes of the class. She knows her stuff, but is not a good professor. She grades extremely harsh on every essay and you will be quizzed or tested every 2 weeks.

She is a rambler. but what she says is usually interesting. In LAT 300+ we got to choose how many quizzes and tests we had as well as the authors we read. The class is just translating Latin out loud. Attendance is not mandatory and a book isn't needed

Comment:

She definitely rambles a bit, but it is always relevant to the subject and is interesting to listen too. she's one of the nicest professors Ive had, and is very understanding: She'll move dates around for you, and if you explain any situation she's willing to help. I would recommend her class

She is extremely nice, and very understanding, but rambles nonstop! I found it very hard to concentrate in class, and never really knew what was going to be on the test.

Comment:

Very entertaining and very knowledgable. While she does tend to ramble a bit and you will never stick to your syllabus, she always has something interesting to say and is very helpful. Exams are mostly essay-based, and graded tough, but very passable if you come prepared.

Definitely one of my favorite professors. She's very knowledgeable, but tends to ramble. She'll answer any question you have, including what the tests will be like. For this class, they were just essays and she gave us the questions beforehand. Easy A if you show up to class.

this woman is fantastic, probably my favorite professor I've had at BSU. She helped me this past semester as my health had come into question and I was spending every weekend getting tests at the hospital.

Comment:

Class was super easy, didn't have to attend class at all. She allowed you to reschedule every test and moved due dates back when asked. It's a struggle to pay attention in class, she is a rambler and talks about EVERYTHING. The only assignments are writing 30 journal entries. Easy A class if you can manage to pay attention.

Comment:

Really she is a professor that knows so much about the topic that she just rambles the whole class. She never discusses the book until a test comes up and the whole class seems pointless. Its not a hard class more so hard to keep your attention.

Comment:

As a person, she is super nice. As a teacher, she can be a little hard to follow at times, but her stories are really interesting. And if you miss a test of quiz for any reason, she will let you retake it, no questions asked. But, the only way you will survive that class is if you read the book.

Super easy. I wrote my final in five minutes and she gave me an A. if you show up and talk to her and act like an expert for your in class presentation she'll give you an A. and she'll take extra credit on most anything CC related if you just ask!

Comment:

She has to be about the easiest prof ever. she knows that Academics is mostly bullcrap and she will tell you that. She only ever makes you take tests and those are only once in a while and easy to pass without ever reading the books. Great Prof, fun, easy to talk to, brings us food. BEST CLASSES EVER!

Comment:

Lectures are more than boring! She loves to go off on random lectures that don't deal with anything related to the class! We had an English/Grammar lecture twice because there were too many little problems on our tests. Waste of my time!

She's a pretty cool teacher. She does ramble on and on about nothing, but it's not hard at all. I played farmville the whole time in class. All you have to do is show up and learn some vocab. I had three years of Latin, so translating wasnt hard.

Comment:

Worst lectures I have ever had. She rambles about nothing. There were many times I missed the class and asked classmates what I missed. The answer was always, "Nothing." Waste of time. She also thinks horrible books are great and thinks we should all agree with her.

She is very nice, I'm just a bad student. She won't budge on dates and her tests are sometimes difficult. Read and you should stay affloat.
