Comment:

Her grading is difficult and her syllabus needs work, other than that she's pretty straightforward. If you have any questions, talk to her after class because you'll be able to be more concise with her. Talk to her, the only way to fail is if you never show up.

Comment:

She is VERY picky in the way you respond in class and in the midterm and final. She expects Ivy League school answers from students and makes you work to get to the answer. At the beginning of the course there was a class full and by the second week more than half the students had dropped the course. She is too strict and expects a lot. Don't take

Comment:

This professor had high demands and was unclear of what she was looking for in her student's work. I felt, as most others students did in her class, that we were on our own to figure out what she wanted from us. She had us write and note our papers in a specific way like if we were in an Ivy League school when this was supposed to be a 101 class.

I tried thinking I was going to be okay but I should have paid better attention to the small signs. I don't recommend anyone to take any of her courses. This professor doesn't even speak loud enough, she is always unorganized, and if you ask her a question she'll answer with another question. I usually don't take the time to rate anyone, DONTDOIT

Dr. C is a challenging professor who cares about her students and their educational career. She will prepare you for University level work. If you are looking for an easy ride, this is not the class for you-BTW, Once I transferred I watched several students who were used to an easy ride flunk out-take her & she will prepare you for success!

Within the first week of class expect a research paper assignment, and make sure you do the pre research paper. Her class is very important to pay attention to and although she is a tough grader she is always willing to sit with you and help determine your strengths and weaknesses in your paper. Just put in the work!

Comment:

Never ever again will I take this professor. In this class you teach yourself, lectures are boring and the amount of work for the midterm and final is ridiculous you have 2 midterms with about 21 essay ?'s on each, she only collects 3. Not to mention she lost my work twice. This class took too much of my time from other classes. Regret taking it.

Worst Professor ever !! Very picky, high unreasonable expectations. Midterm and Final had 20 essay questions only to get 3 graded. Rude and unorganized. Save yourselves if you can, take the class somewhere else.

Comment:

By far worst professor i have had at OC. I did not understand her way of teaching. She is unorganized and all over the place. Her midterm and final were very odd, and she's way to picky. She should not be picky because she is so unclear with instructions and expectations.

Comment:

If she is the only professor that offers the class you need, go to VC. In the beginning you might think it's a piece of cake and will pull an A, but her grading method is ridiculous. Her midterms and final are simple but grades unfairly. Out of the 12 questions she only grades 3-4 and they have to be long and perfect or else zero or points off.

Comment:

i have taken a class with this professor before and had to take her again because she was the only one offering the class i needed, sadly. i absolutely hate how she teaches. she's definitely the only professor I've had that expected too much from her students. she also uses the same lectures in many of her classes, therefore she is very repetitive.

Comment:

I do not recommend this teacher. She is VERY unclear about what she expects. She is unsure of dates, hard to reach, and does a terrible job at answering questions. If you are unsure about something or need a bit of guidance, instead of helping she just asks you more questions that leave you confused. She changes rules last minute without notice.

Comment:

Very rigorous course, she makes you work for your grade. She normally has 1 midterm, essay, PowerPoint, and final. She only gives one 3x5 notecard to use so take advantage. One thing that I actually like from her course was that she lets you do extra credit. Which is based of the readings but you have to write them accordingly to her standards!

Comment:

She is the absolute worst teacher I have ever had. She isn't clear on any of the due dates of assignments. Half the class didn't turn in their midterm paper because when we asked the date, she kept telling us we didn't need to worry about it. She is extremely unhelpful and talks down to you, making you feel stupid. She is a very particular grader.

Comment:

She is a bit wacky and a tad unorganized in her lectures. She tests off of movies which does not make sense to me whatsoever. So if you miss class, make sure to watch the movies she does in class. Her test questions don't exactly reflect the material she goes over in class; they're a bit abstract.

Comment:

Her class is not easy. At all. But she will help you a LOT. She doesn't want you to fail and she isn't trying to work against you. Just listen to what she says, do the work she assigned. DO NOT SLACK OFF ON YOUR PAPER OR PRESENTATION! And there's no reason to fail this class. Type small on the index cards she allows you for the tests.

Comment:

She isn't really hard. You just have to keep up with the reading and notes. For notes write down what she says, really doesn't do PowerPoints lectures. Study, Study, and Study. Most important show up for class. And in all her classes she wants her students to do a presentation, i encourage you to do it, if you want an A in the class.
