Comment:

If you're an organized & straight forward person, try your best not to take her. Condescending when you even suggest anything that sounds like it goes against her mental blueprint for the class - even if she sides with you in the end. Will make you feel dumb when you ask questions , and definitely when doing work. Nothing is good enough. Horrible

Comment:

Would not take this class if you're looking for an easy A. Took this as a free elective and was one of the biggest mistakes considering i took this as a senior my last semester. A lot of work and if you miss one assignment you're totally screwed. I found it pretty straightforward though and if you get your work done you'll get a decent grade.

Comment:

VERY TOUGH GRADER. I feel like she is a very SUBJECTIVE grader. GRADE BOMBER. I feel like she grades based on her personal writing styles. I took her online class and she doesn't assign too much work, however, she expects you to work hard and do everything HER way. If you want an A and a good GPA DO NOT TAKE HER.

Comment:

Discussion board and one response to the reading every week, three papers throughout the semester and one final exam essay. A LOT of writing and she's a TOUGH GRADER. No matter how great your work is the highest grade you'll receive is a 95, and that's if it's perfect. Makes getting an A tough.

Comment:

Took her online comm class. Class is straightforward, but she's a tough grader. Discussion board and a writing assignment every week, plus a final essay. Class isn't hard, it's just that it seems like she doesn't like giving good grades... 100's are impossible.

There are definitely better professors to take. Quizzes are hard, and she grades hard. Horrible experience. Quiz every monday, and assignment every thursday. I would not recommend her.

Quizzes once a week along with papers due every other week. Yes this class has a lot of busy work, but the class can get interesting and fun depending on the type of people you have in your class. Bring your laptop to keep busy.

Comment:

This class is a mind..duzy. When your confident in your work you get a c, and when your not you get a 96. I sent her one of my assignments early and she said it looked good but she gave me a 75. Her your someone who talks a lot and ask a lot of question i would recommend her just prepare to really think...but not over-think.

This class is one of the worst classes i have ever taken. Cramer is all over the place but thinks that she us all together. her notes are very technical , she does not explain well when you ask her questions. Overall , really bad. I'm not writing this because im upset at a grade. this is just warning

This class was taught too quickly. Not enough time to fully understand the "lessons". She is very picky on how the formats should be written. Hard class but she's the only one who teaches it...

Comment:

She doesn't teach like most professors. There is no set outline to her lessons. She talks, you take notes. Quizzes based on chapters = READ. Quiz grades combined can replace final. Midterm isn't easy.

She has a lot of pride in herself. She demands respect. She makes you do a lot of reflection papers, but they are easy. She is a very nice woman. Lots of papers and no exams. Easy class.

Comment:

if you dont have to take her stay away.. u will regret it, trust me.. nothing is ever good enough for her. if u do everything, that is still not enough.. she thinks just because shes "Dr." Cramer thats some sort of badge of honor and its soo annoying when she corrects ur pronunciation of "Iraq".. ugh shes the worst ever.. miserable..
