Comment:
I have my midterm in about an hour and I know absolutely nothing. I've spent the past few hours trying to teach myself the materials and would be surprised if I get a D. Just sits at the front of the class rambling on and STARING at us and making us uncomfortable. Calls on us to answer her questions and gets mad when we know the answers. AVOID.

Comment:
Worst professor I've had in my entire college career. 4 grades: two essays, midterm and the final. She sits in the front of the classroom and talks s u p e r s l o w the entire period. She reads off very basic powerpoints with no elaboration to details then says your papers are "superficial." Avoid her if possible, you're screwed if you have her

Comment:
I was kind of skeptical of taking philosophy since I knew nothing about it. She ruined my philosophy experience. She is very unclear on what she teaches. She tells you one thing and then says the opposite. I tried to get help from tutors and other philosophy professors and no one knew what she was teaching. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR HER CLASS!!!

Comment:
I already consider philosophy to be a hard subject, and the way she taught was very CONFUSING! She's an old woman so sometimes she mixes up words or phases which makes it even MORE confusing even if it's not intentional. She encourages you to ask questions but answers them harshly and seems mad when you actually do question something. Just no.

Do not take Philosophy with her! Worst teacher I've ever had. Teaches stuff that even tutors that I applied for didn't even understand. Gets mad when you ask questions for the nonsense she is teaching. If there is a way for you to get out of this class.... seriously do it

Comment:
In my class we had two exams all essay format. If you study the vocal briefly and can argue your point using the correct vocal you should be fine. However, she is a tough grader so make sure you know what you are talking about. I also had two essays, if you are a poor writer this is not the class for you. She's very particular about her essays.

Do Not take this teacher!! I should of seen how bad of a score she had before I took her ethics class. She is old and doesn't care. She lectures (sometimes giving handouts) sometimes not so basically impossible to take notes. Try to take a different teacher with more passion for teaching, she's burnt out.

boring but easy class gives handouts sometimes (if she doesnt give them out you can get them offline). tells you almost exactly what will be on tests and final. Nice women semi hard grader but the class is definitely passable like B & higher. dont email her though she is vague when it comes to answering questions.

one of the best prof's I had at NU. Heard about her rep when I went into class, hard, not fair etc. She was hard and the subject was hard (Existentialism and Phenominon) but she is an EXCELLENT professor. She knows what she is talking about. Head of Dep
