BEST professor ever! She is so kind and approachable and tries to get to know every one of her students. I learned so much from her and looked forward to her classes. Easy A as long as you show up to class.

She gave the most interesting lectures I have ever heard. She is beyond funny and extremely easy to listen to and get along with. The topics were always interesting and I actually learned a lot from this class without realizing it. I would recommend this class to everyone.

BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD. She is hilarious and really cares about her students. Within the first week, she knew everyone's names. She is funny and personable and the tests aren't bad at all! She has great discussions about not just the material, but about life in general. I learned so much! I wish she could be my professor for all my classes!

Linney is so great! I took this as a night class, and she is sassy and intelligent and I learned so much. Some short papers that are very reflection-y (which she gives you an ENORMOUS amount of help on, reads drafts and whatnot) and three tests that are not at all difficult. Highly recommended.

Comment:

This class was one of the best that I took. She was super easy to get along with, and took a personal interest in her students. If possible, do not take as a night class, because it tends to drag on, although Kirsten does her best to keep everyone interested, and gives breaks halfway through the class.

Linney is like a comedian! She is so funny and an absolutely fantastic teacher. She knows her stuff and she is always willing to offer extra help. I took the night class and she knew practically all of her students by name. TAKE THIS CLASS.

Amazing professor! My favorite thus far! I had a night class of over 100 and she knew almost everyone's name! Very personal, always checked up on me and very open to questions. Night classes drag but she made it fun and interesting! Definitely study for tests, not much homework..I would recommend her for anyone! I actually miss having her!

Professor Linney is great. You can tell she is really interested in what she's teaching and she really tried to make class fun. She's also pretty funny. Make sure to actually read the book though because there are questions on the tests that aren't covered in class. Overall I really liked her and the class.

Had her for night class. She let us out about an hour early every night. Very interesting class. Study for the tests and read the textbook material for high test grades. The papers were fun to write. She is a very nice, very helpful woman. Tells funny stories and seems open/approachable vs most other professors. Awesome class and professor!

Comment:

Professor Linney is an okay teacher. She's a very easy grader and is super lenient on everything (including class time). However, she treats students like children and often goes into inappropriate rants about her family life and said in class that it's okay for minors to drink. She says "in terms of that" at least 60 times per class. Keep a tally.

Kirsten is a great teacher! She made a 3 hour night class as painless as possible and gave great lectures. Tests aren't very hard and papers are easy because they're your own experiences.

Kirsten is a great professor. She's very open and is willing to answer all of your questions. I thought night class would be dreadful but it turned out to be my favorite class! Tests aren't bad and she gives you a study guide with everything on it. I HIGHLY recommend her.
