Comment:

Such a boring class. Not helpful at all, often gert the response "your in college figure it out" even if that makes no sense with your question. Quizzes just ask you opinion, make sure you agree with ehr opinion if you want a good grade.

Comment:

Easy A. Pass out every class and wake up for her quizzes to get A-'s. Very opinionated and if you listen to her ideas first two classes, you know where to go with your responses. very quiet so sit in front. Also doesn't take crap from anyone so don't be leaving class often.

Comment:

Easy class if you pay attention in class and attend lectures. Lots of quizzes on presentations that she can be a picky grader about but if you have good ideas and grammar you'll do fine. Kind woman, little boring at times but that's philosophy in general. Easy A if you show up. Don't need to read all of the readings if you take good notes.

Comment:

Not a tough course. A lot of people seem to write that she is boring but I enjoyed the lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory but lots of pop quizzes that can not be made up. Easy B. Also, I wouldn't buy the book. You can find all the readings online.

Comment:

This class is a must take. Easy B with little to no effort. Just show up to class and be there for her pop quizzes. Can easily bs them and still get a passing grade. Book is required, but I didn't use it once and managed to get a B.

Comment:

I'll give her that she's really into what she teaches, and can be pretty opinionated at times. Attendance not mandatory, but you never know when one of her several in-class quizzes will be, which you can't make up. Keep up with the reading and you'll be fine.

pretty easy class overall. very nice professor. this is a class that you are on your own in. go to class to take quizzes because she doesnt take excuses. paying attention and get involved in class discussions will help when it is time to take quizzes.

Easy class, kind of boring at times. I have her for intro to ethics and going to class was pointless. She gives random pop quizzes sometimes but theyre usually open notes. Most of the quizzes are your own opinion though. Easy A

lectures the whole time and is very boring but attendance is not mandatory and if you dont go i promise you wont miss a thing. all her tests are essay form but you can BS them very easily, just structure them well and use propper spelling and you'll get an A. i got B's on all the tests and never did a panel and still got a B+ for final grade.

She is the most amazing professor. EVERYONE should take a class with her. Attendance not mandatory but it's a good idea. Extremely passionate, entertaining, and loves ET with the beautiful smile, and she connects with fawns. They smile at her. Anyone who has taken her class will understand entirely what we're saying. Don't be unethical. GET IT?

you have to be good at writing. if you have different views than her she seems not to except them. if she doesnt like you, you wont get as good of a grade. if she loves you, you will. if you dont go to class you might miss a pop quiz which she does alot. if your okay with a C or B then take it theres not really any homework

Comment:

people act surprised that an ethics professor would lean to the left.. the only people that should be right wingers are billonaires and morons.. definitely not an ETHICS professor.. Anyway.. she is VERY passionate about the material and really wants to have her students develop ideas and thoughts for themselves.

Comment:

Intro to Ethics. The class was fairly easy. She talks soft, and is hard of hearing as others have said - which can be annoying. She has VERY left political views (this is from a lefty), and she makes them known. Going to class is not mandatory, but there are occasionally 'pop' quizes. If you are honest with her and participate you should do well.

Comment:

Easy enough class,hard to motivate yourself to go to though.Reading homeworks and other than that the work is limited to panels & class debates.She's very set on her opinions & goes on rants every once in a while if she doesn't like what you have to say. You have to yell/repeat yourself 3 times for her to hear you but strain your ears to hear her!

Comment:

This lady is totally on the pipe! Her ideas and beliefs are way to the left, so if you don't want to hear it- avoid. But she is relatively easy, although somewhat boring. Topics are mindless and not interesting, but the work is easy enough. You'll do debates, panels, test/quizzes. AND YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER. SHE HAS TROUBLE HEARING!!!

Class wasn't hard. She talks real quiet and you have to yell for her to hear you so it's kind of a weird situation. Nice lady though. I didn't really learn much but the class makes you think.

There is no real debate in this class, and she is very vague in her explanations. The tests are ridiculously easy. This class was a waste of my time
