Comment:

She is a nice person, but her lessons feel very long due to the fact that she tends to ramble off the subject. Her timing on lessons are always off and we tend to be behind. One major issue I have with her is that she takes about a month and a half to grade essays. She will assign the next essay without grading the previous one.

Comment:

Noticeably disorganized, many students complaining about late feedback. Highly prone to rambling off-topic. Uses a paragraph where a sentence alone is needed. Expects tons of reading with little work to reinforce. Does not outline assignments clearly and often hard to understand. Pleasantly mellow personality, open-minded. Always willing to help.

Comment:

Maybe the worst teacher to take. Very awkward doesn't make eye contact rambles on for 2 hours. Gives a whole bunch to read. I wouldn't recommend taking her because your gpa will probably drop.

Comment:

She is a terrible professor. One of the most boring, uninteresting, and unorganized people I have ever met in my life. She rambles on for about and hour each class about things that have no relevance to the course. You should also be ready to cite your source's source's source -_-. Pretty easy class, but DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HER.

Comment:

This was by far the worst class I have ever taken. She makes no eye contact with anyone, and she can't keep up with grading, and she's just boring. She goes on and on about stuff that is not relevant to the lecture. I would highly reccomend avoiding this teacher at all costs.

History isn't the most interesting topic but Dr. Boylan knows what she is talking about and has traveled the world to get her experience. Good teacher and good class!

Just awful, by far the worst professor I've ever had; I won't even go into detail about how disgusted I am with her and her class, just please, for your GPA's sake.. avoid her!

Does not have a good grading system. Does not grade all students equally throughout semester. If your assignment is late it's a pick and choose if you'll get points taken off or not.

great teacher, tests are rather simple, reading material is a bit dreadful, and writing papers were a bit fun. She may ramble for hours and make no eye-contact but she does show how much she enjoys the topic she is teaching.

Nice lady. She's really smart and sometimes talks circle around you. overall, if you put effort in, you will do ok. There are a lot of writing assignments but not hard to do.

For a 4 credit class you get to read juicy stories...how can you beat it? She gives no homework except her three creative short papers and reading so as long as you attend class regularly your "golden." Yes she does talk about the stuff she is teaching us but you know that is her job. She is a great teacher and I will take every class she offers

Shes a pretty cool person, yeah she could talk a lot but its interesting stuff!! But if you ever took her, the funniest thing is that she blinks a lot while shes talkin so you could flip the duck @ her while shes teaching and she'll never know. I never tried it, but I did it in my head!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon! Wanna know about the world beyond your nose (or keyboard)? Try this chick. Talks a lot, assigns a ton, and yeah, she's read more-shocker that her smarts scare some. Mbe shy but she really has office hours, gives advance tips for papers and tests, and gives a **** about students. Always hated history but dbl-gen ed was worth it.

Comment:

This was the worst class I EVER took in this damn school. She just blabs on and on and on...and most of the time makes no sense at all. She gives ALOT of assignments, papers that is, journals, articles and all that crap. Tests are not that hard..but everything else is just a waste of time. If you can avoid taking this class do so. DO NOT TAKE HER!!

Comment:

Shut the **** up! I have never met someone that can turn a 2 hour class into the long 7 hours of your life. There is no reason for a human being to babble as much as she does. She will get going on a topic and expand on it so much that you are no longer even close to talking about the initial topic! Probably the most confusing and boring person I have ever listened to in my life. We are more than 1/2 way through the year and I have no clue what my grade is. Avoid her or invest in some redbull.

Comment:

Goes way off topic but makes up for it by not testing things she didn't cover. Refuses to look at the class and rambles a lot. Very good at taking time out to help and she is concerned about bettering herself as a professer.
