Comment:
Probably one of the best professors I've had at UIUC. She loves what she teaches and you can definitely tell, which is a great environment for learning. She is really funny and the way she lectures is very conversational, which, I thin, is easier to follow. She gets off topic a lot but somehow finds her way back with that as her example. LOVED her!

One of the best professors I've had here. Very passionate about the material, and is very helpful. Her exams are pretty straightforward...essay format, but as long as you understand the main concepts you will be fine. Relatively easy for a 400-level. TAKE THIS CLASS IF DOROTHY IS TEACHING!!!

Comment:
Professor Espleage is amazing. Her exam questions are not meant to be tricky or hard. She gives study guides, and does not require attendance in lectures. There are no assignments, grade is solely based on four 25 question exams (the study guide consists of questions that will be used on exam). Great Professor!!

Comment:
This teacher loves to hear herself talk. Really tries too hard to be liked. Often talks for 10 minutes about some story that has nothing to do with class, than reads from the slide for 3 minutes than another 10 minute story about nothing. Terrible teacher.

She is overly friendly with us in class. Too busy trying to be friends with the students.

Comment:
She is definitely impressive in terms of research accomplishments (I mean, she's appeared on Oprah and other talk shows), but I was quite disappointed with the class (I had high expectations prior to the class.). It's true what someone said - she seems more concerned about being cool or being your friend than teaching. It was an easy "A".

If you ever have a chance to take a class with her, DO IT! Not only is she a wonderful professor, but you'll never be bored. I don't know of any class where about 99% of the students showed up everyday. She's had more experience than any other teacher I've had and she teaches the class like it's Stand Up Comedy, but you always learn something new

Very hilarious and brillant professor. She loves to teach and share stories with the class. She won't be teaching this class spring 2006, but if you can take any class with her, it will be amazing.

This class was almost impossible to get into and there's a reason for that - the professor is fantastic.

Comment:
Her clinical experience and knowledge offered a lot to the class. It can be easy to become disturbed when focusing too much on psychology, but Professor Espelage has a great sense of humor--the class was almost like therapy! I'm more sane for taking it.

Comment:
This is the same guy who took the discovery version----I liked the actual version of the class too. It was very informative and Dorothy's a great teacher. She is friendly, and takes huge tangents, but I think we get to the important stuff in a roundabout way. Take the class!

This class was pretty easy. The professor is more concerned with being cool and being your friend then in covering the material, so not a lot of material gets covered.

The class was hard work, but it was worth it. She taught me a lot and was amusing while doing so.
