Comment:

Very sweet lady... however she is very unorganized and out there. There was no midterm and her final was a research paper that was quiet easy. Her quizzes are impossible... dont even try to read for them! Im a math major and made an A on the paper and B in the class... not too difficult she is unorganized but sweet.

Comment:

Don't take her if you can avoid it. She pretends like we're all inferior little children who have no prior knowledge of the subject. She may know her stuff, but she thinks that he knowledge is the end all be all to women's history. I would not recommend taking her because I, for one, prefer to be treated like an adult, not a child.

She is very unclear and unorganized. My least favorite class I've taken so far and I've been here for over two years now. Don't do it!

Comment:

Professor Crocker is not a very clear/organized professor for any class. Her notes are normally random words scribbled on the board&she very rarely actually goes over what she assigns you on the syllabus for a particular class. The midterm and the final are 80% of your grade&are comprehensive no matter what she has actually managed to teach. HARD!!

she seems so nice and cute but she is very hard and is not very helpful when you have questions especially when it comes to projects and she singles out people during class all the time.

Comment:

Dr. Crocker is very nice and helpful if you're willing to take the time to talk to her. My only complaint is that she is not always clear and organized, but she does know her stuff and encourages class discussions. If you participate and show interest in the class you'll enjoy the class.

Comment:

Auburn students are sometimes really mean. I hear them talking about Dr. Crocker in another class. What they say is mean. It also makes them seem stupid and closed minded. Dr. Crocker is a good teacher and she does care.

Dr. Crocker was the worst professor I've ever had. The class was completely disorganized, and she has no concern for the students. The best part was finally getting to fill out an evaluation on her.

This is the worst class I've ever taken. She is unorganized and doesn't know the content she's teaching. I haven't talked to anyone in the class who has enjoyed it.

Comment:

If you are a guy, avoid her at all costs!! She is very unorganized and she doesn't test you on material discussed in class. She was helpful during office hours and I think that is the only reason I passed the class. It was supposed to be a history class, but it turned into a women's studies class.

Comment:

She is BIG on women's rights and everything but a very sweet lady, really cares about you. Sometimes quiet and very disorganized but it makes it easy to turn things in late or not at all and say you did. Her tests are easy, she tells you what to study for. Very sweet!

Comment:

Dr. Crocker's WMST 2100 Intro class is very challenging, but the most worthwhile class I have taken at Auburn. If you do the reading & participate in class - no problem getting an A. She expects a lot from her students and in turn, you can learn a lot from her.

Comment:

Be afraid ladies and gentlemen. I was actually happy to be taking this class, but after the first day, I asked myself what i was thinking. She makes everything twice as hard than it needs to be. She is very unorganized and talks down to everyone. I think she tries really hard to be politically correct, but she comes out wrong.

Comment:

This was one class I thought I would be excited about, but it has turned out horrible. The very first day I Realized she did not know how to teach a class and she depends on her students to do it for her. The class is not properly organized and she does not make it fun or interesting. She is also very mean and disrespectful to her students.

Comment:

unhelpful, not interesting and too strict for the little demands in the class...strong disciplinary action if something goes wrong and not ver understanding. the class was a mess, UNORGANIZED and all. i would NEVER advise anyone to take this class...for most it was an elective but she treats it as though it was a core class.

Comment:

I, along with a lot of girls in this class, were very disappointed with the way Women's Studies turned out. This class has a lot of potential but she makes it horrible. Not only was this class boring and mismanaged but there's a 10-pg paper due at the end of the term. This is an intro class! Plus she's mean and treats all of us like we're idiots.

Comment:

Senior thesis...history majors must take this class but shouldn't take it with her! While the class is easy, all you have to do is write a 30-40 pg paper, she makes it hard to write about what u want to write about. MAN HATER!! Very unprofessional, treats students as if they were in kindergarten. AVOID!!! Should never teach 4930 again!!!

Comment:

Avoid at all cost, especially if your a guy. Worst femi-nazi i've ever met. A pointless class, due to the lack of clarity in teaching style and instructions. If your an education major, take a different history if you can. Trust me you won't regret it.

Comment:

Worst HIST class I've ever taken. Hate's men, conservatives, republicans, and Fox News. You will enter The Spin Zone in her class. Very vague in her teaching style, if you're an education major, you will learn how NOT to teach.
