Professor Norling is an angel put on earth to enlighten the students of OCC. She encourages creativity and openness in the class and it makes everyone feel like they are truly becoming better people. She has wonderful patience and knows how to analyze things logically without giving away her opinion. I enjoyed her laid-back class very much.

Comment:

Prof. Norling is one of the best at OCC. Her lectures are great and she encourages discussion. She's funny, witty, caring, and really knows her stuff--not to mention that she's got the patience of a saint. Two tests make up the bulk of the grade, but she gives you study guides to help.

350 characters aren't enough to emphasize how much I like Prof Norling! She is INCREDIBLY knowledgable, caring, witty, and genuinely cares for her students. I was a Political Science major prior to taking her Ethics class, and now I've changed my major to Philosophy. I can confidently say I looked forward to her lectures! Would rate her 100/5

Norling is going to make sure that you won't regret giving her a chance to teach you. She is one of the best professors here at OCC. She tries her best to bring as many interesting topics as she can for you guys to discuss. Her quizzes, writings in class, exams ... are straight forwards and everything is doable. Just show up and you'll be fine.

She really knows and loves what she is doing. She loves when people participate and gives a lot of info during class. Quizzes are from texts from textbook so you should buy/rent it. Midterm+final, 2 papers, 4 quizzes and in class writings. Only thing I didnt like was that you have to write the exact words she wants to read or she takes off points.

I love her lecture and her personality. I really enjoyed her class and was always looking forward to going to the class. Many people dropped her class, but I was sure they missed a real gem. If you studied hard as she suggested, you would definitely get A. I am an international student and that was the first semester, but got an A. Good class.

Professor Norling's Ethics class is a great class to take if you're interested in Philosophy. Her lectures are interesting and she can be funny and entertaining often, assignments aren't very heavy, attendance was not mandatory but you may miss out on important discussions. She's a straight forward grader and allows make-ups for some things.

I REALLY enjoyed this class. She's hilarious, and brings up good points. The class is an easy A as long as you show up to most of the classes. She drops your two lowest quiz scores, and she gives you study guides for the tests. If you need to take this class, she's an awesome teacher/ person.

Her class was pretty easy & simple. Her midterm was a FRQ but she gives you the possible questions beforehand. The final is MC and is 100% based on the study guide that she provides for you. The textbook isn't required, I barley opened it during the semester. Attendance isn't mandatory but the debates that happen in class are interesting to hear

I love Prof. Norling and her Phil 120/Ethics class. Passed this class with a 102%. Not much homework. There's 4 small quizzes on readings. She gives you midterm questions beforehand: answer those and memorize before exam. She goes over the Final before the exam. There are 2 papers, but are super super easy and straight-forward. Very kind professor!

Really enjoyed her class. One of the best teachers I've ever had. The class is pretty easy to get an A, though it does require at least some effort/reading. Though really, seemed like nobody ever really did the reading homework. Just go to class and listen, and you'll do fine. Such a funny, enjoyable person to be around.

Easiest A ever. She goes out of her way to help you get the grade you want. Final is multiple choice and way easier than the midterm. The quizzes are pretty easy and you get to drop your two lowest quiz grades.

Norling is interesting. She enjoys what she teaches. I didnt purchase the text and still got an A but i would rec. Getting the book to make it easier on yourself. She posts everything on blackboard (not book readings). She really appreciates you participating in discussions, makes it more fun anyway. Pretty liberal and opinionated but sweet woman.

This class is easy if you work for it. The material is interesting and class is fun because she is very interactive with the students, however it is a lot of information to retain and most likely you haven't learned it before. There are 4 quizzes (she drops the 2 lowest scores), 1 midterm and 1 final (very detailed study guide!) plus some papers.
