Class was interesting, accent was not a problem for me. There were two books needed for class and I was able to get those from the library and the other was an E-read book that was provided

Comment:

I am a very tolerable person when it comes to accents; so it was not her accent that made this class so hard to understand. She was all over the place and had no organization whatsoever. Honestly I think you could just read the book and not attend class and ace it if it weren't for the fact that she makes attendance mandatory. Not very helpful.

Not very helpful, not available AT ALL out of class. Tests are hard and not on material covered in class. Takes notes at the speed of light, and test Qs are VERY specific. Grading scale is unnecessarily harsh. Overall, not very effective

Comment:

Not easy, hard to follow at times, and assumes students know info about certain areas of religion. Assumes we know the info, doesn't elaborate on the subject and then test over it

Pham is awesome. She is the greatest woman ever and I wish i could have her more. Go to class and talk and you will be fine. Not hard at all and she makes it easy for you.

Comment:

this class was super easy! you only need to study the notes to get an A on the tests and quizzes. you have to go to class though because your grade lowers if you dont. i didnt really enjoy her class b.c she tended to be very boring. she was also hard to understand at times.

Comment:

She changed her tests from essay to multiple choice and short answer. An A is very duable if you study your notes. She tends to puts questions on the test from things you dont think is important, so study everything. Good teacher overall and gives you extra credit.

Tests are fair if you study for them. Extra credit is available. She communicates the material well. An 'A' is possible if you apply yourself.

Comment:

I detested this class. I've only recieved multiple choice tests, and they are the easiest ever. She tells you before hand what to expect. I've heard she has killer essay tests, but I haven't taken one. If the class weren't easy I wouldn't take it. She doesn't always describe herself, and she doesn't tolerate any sort of rebuttals.

Great teacher - gets the material accross very well and does a good job. You get to like her soon but her tests are the hardest I have ever taken in my life. If your want an easy A run as far away as you can but if you don't mind a little work you can get a B with the extra credit

so confusing! she cannot communicate with students. this class was the most horrible experience i've had at xavier but at least i could memorize the tests from the study guides, which made it easy to pass. i'm not sure it was worth it though.

She's very very very tough but she will teach you so long as you pay attention... Problem is, she's very strict grading papers so don't expect an A by a longshot
