Took her for a May Mini session. Lots of reading and 4 exams (2 of them proctored), in a 15 day span of time and a essay. Tough grader on essays she said mine had poor grammar and I had multiple people read over it. Barely passed the class just glad to be done with it! (BTW I am normally make high B or A's in all my classes)

Comment:

Dr. Davis makes POLS2302 bearable so if you have to take this class, take her on campus. I suggest reading the textbook because some stuff on the review sheet she hasn't gone over is on the test . If you take good notes and read the assigned reading the test is really just a process of elimination.

I had her for an online graduate course. She's an excellent teacher with a fantastic personality but you better be ready to WORK for your grade. Lots of reading, I mean LOTS, with two major papers and three major exams plus discussion questions. She's an extremely tough grader and the papers and the tests are HARD.

I took this class for summer 1 and it was very time consuming. However, if you do study you will do fine.

I took this course for May Mini and ended with a B. I learned a lot in this class. I HIGHLY recommend doing the "optional" quizzes. Some of the questions can be on the test!! Listen to her lectures. I can not stress this enough. I did not read, just looked through at the main points. Look over the review! Answers may come from that also. Good luck

Dr. Davis is no-nonsense. She expects you to try and be ready for class, but she obviously cares about everyone and that is why she gives tough love. She is respectful of everyone and curses a lot, which is fun since she's just a sassy southern girl. I can't wait to take more of her classes if I can.

Comment:

Dr. Davis is a good teacher who genuinely cares about her students and wants to help them succeed. Great lecturer, very good at explaining concepts. Also very understanding of students and is there when you need help. My only complaint is her FREQUENT cussing; it's unnecessary in a classroom environment and is very unprofessional, in my opinion.

Comment:

As a Political Science major, I had the privilege of taking several of Dr. Davis' courses. She influenced me to change my major to PoliSci. She is an incredible professor and has a passion for what she teaches. I was in her class during the events of 9-11. I will never forget it. My courses were mainly from 2001-2003. I graduated 8/03 Shawna

She's awesome, attendance isn't mandatory because students want to show up to class. Her lectures are so funny. Test are very VERY hard. Show up if you want to pass. Easily, one of my favorite professors.

Tests are tough. Expect a 3 to 5 page written assignment and discussion board questions. You'll have to study on your own time with review sheet and book because in her lectures she doesn't explain the review too well.

Funny professor, but tests are very hard. You don't necessarily have to go everyday because she gives you a review sheet, a week prior to the test. However, occasionally she'll give you answers and information for the tests that is not on the review sheet.

The tests are tough and I never could seem to understand what she wanted in the discussion boards. I did what I thought she wanted but still didn't get good grades on them. But, overall it was a very interesting class you just have to put in the work.

Comment:

Dr. Davis is hands down best professor that I have had at Lamar. The class isn't too difficult. She talks about some very interesting political topics that occurred throughout American history and ties them in with supreme court rulings. Take this class if you want to retain information digested in class rather than just regurgitate it on an exam.

This teacher was very interesting in her lecture, however I found that she does not cover what on her tests. You MUST read & study on your own.
