Comment:

Very snobby Professor. She acts as though she does not have to give you the time of day because she is better than you. She will brush you off as pothetic unless she internalizes you as one of her favorites. She is very cold and it is not just a front. I would give you the advice to avoid her at all costs but in education it is impossible!

Comment:

very difficult and at times unreasonable. this was a summer class and she took no account of the length of the class. she really does not practice what she teaches she comes of very uncaring and callus. I have never met her in person and I'm not looking forward to it. She is just one of those people you wonder way she teaching.

Comment:

I was terrified to take her - I've seen her in action and I knew it wasn't going to be good. But her bark is worse than her bite - just don't tick her off. I learned a lot from her. She just comes across very hard. She expects you to be diligent, college student and study...duh. People act like that is so hard. Grow up u r in college.

Comment:

She is not very clear on what she wants. I had to go to someone who had her the semester before to get clarification. She never stayed after class for questions. She came off very cold, not friendly at all. Start on your classroom management plan early. Hook up with someone who had this class with her before, and you should be OK.

Comment:

She is ambiguous in the things that she demands of her students, and wants very precise answers, which she grades very hard anyway. She is not friendly, and does not employ the classroom management techniques that she claims to value. She has already make this semester miserable and I hope to never have to deal with her again!!!!!

I loooved her! I learned so much from her, and really enjoyed her class. She is intimidating and demanding, but she practices what she teaches. Do your work, keep on top of things, and you will be fine. Participate in class.

Comment:

Her big thing for this class is the art of "relationship building" with your students. It would be nice if she tried "relationship building" with her college students. Then she and her class might be half way enjoyable.

Comment:

What little respect I had for her is totally gone. I am a non trad. student and I do not offend easily. I have 5 classes left with her. I will transfer to another school rather than take another class with her. She is the chair for Spec Ed. so your screwed if your forced to deal with her.

She is not friendly at all. She is not approacable. I will be glad when this semester is done. She is the only one, and will be the only one teaching this class and i need it. I hope to never have her again if I can help it.

A wasted semester! All she does is read at the class from a power point presentation of the study guide you've already completed.

Comment:

The material is not that difficult, maybe because a lot of was familiar, but even when it wasn't, it's not that hard. Just read the book, complete the study guide, and utilize the essays she gave you. It's honestly not bad.

I liked her, she explained things very thoroughly and moved at a good pace. You need to study and keep up with the work though.

Don't miss any classes 10 points which brought me up a letter grade. Try to do all projects (behavioral plan) early show her and ask her opinion. Show interest and you should still get at least a B.
