Comment:

Prof is super clear on requirements and deadlines and even sends out reminders starting well before assignments are due. Apart from a couple of major deadlines, the class can be done entirely at your own pace. She is readily available for questions and offers helpful, encouraging feedback. If you need 280, just take it ASAP; little time commitment!

Such an easy and interesting online class. I finished three months before the semester ended. Consists of some readings and mini quizzes and two assignments and some discussions. Very easy.

Kris was my teacher in high school, and I wanted to put out that she is a wonderful woman, teaches high school during the day and college at night, and "K-Rod" as we called her always had snacks and fun lectures. She's like an awesome mom who loves books!

Professor Rodenberg is awesome. Her grading style is somewhere between fair and super easy. You'll have to do 30 hours of observation/participation time in a classroom, and during this time make sure to TAKE NOTES. There is one big project and a few essays but they're all easy. She's really nice, caring and incredibly experienced. Take her class!!

I took the online class and there were two discussions and the rest were quizzes. If you had the book in front of you the quizzes were easy. the professor responds to emails super quickly as well and is understanding.

Dr. Rodenberg was super awesome! Libs300 is basically busy work, so if you show up and do the assignments, you are guaranteed an A. She also allows for late work as well.

Comment:

TE 280 consists of 6 quizzes, discussion boards and a lesson plan. It is easy and you can honestly finish it in a couple of days if you want. She releases all of the material at the beginning of the class. Answers to quizzes found in the book. Very minimal workload, guaranteed A if you have a brain. Book available at the library (don't buy it).

I have taken a three classes with Rodenberg, and I am so sad that I can't take any more with her as my professor. She is brilliant and so nice! If you're actually passionate about teaching, you will love her classes and her.

I took her for TE 170 and did not like it at all, her lectures were extremely boring. However I enjoyed taking her online class. Very easy. Just some online modules, 2 discussion boards and a lesson plan. I would recommend this online class! Easy A!

Comment:

The class is scheduled for 2 hours and 40 minuets but she rarely goes for the full time but her lectures are beyond boring. It's very hard to stay awake and alert during her lectures because of her monotoned voice. It's horrible. . QUIZES ARE KILLER! It's close to impossible to pass her quizzes! The answers aren't even in the book.

Super long lectures that dragged on. Get the work done and you'll be fine, make sure to keep yourself organized with due dates. Both the midterm and final were online and open note which was nice!

Good professor, super sweet and teaches some interesting things. I only used the textbook while taking the online quizzestests. I didn't read any of the book like she wanted and got an A. Lectures are long since the class is only one day a week. Shes also a very easy grader! Take this class!

Super easy class! Only one mandatory meeting which was kind of long and inconvenient, but attending was worth 10% of your grade. Online quizzes were easy with use of the textbook and online resources, and the lesson plan was super easy and fun to do. Definitely take this class! Easy A
