Comment:

She may like her subject, but her lectures are just repeats of the textbook content, except more boring. She doesn't know how to use technology either. The guest speakers are entertaining, and the discussion sections are great (with a good TA). You get to use one sheet of notes on the exams. It's an easy A.

She's all over the place, and her powerpoints are unorganized. lectures are hard to follow. she's bad at technology. guest speakers are great, discussion sections were great. one of my favorite classes because of subject matter.

Comment:

Worst class ever lecture is terrible discussion is fun though if you have a good TA like I did. Class is boring and the same slides are shown time after time. If you look at the powerpoints they are over like 100 slides long and she liteally only goes over like 5. The only interesting thing about this class is discussion and the guest speakers.

I thought I would love this class but she made me hate it! She goes over the same thing for weeks and posts powerpoints online so no need to go to lecture. just go to discussion. super easy advanced comp and she lets you use notes on exams.

Comment:

When it comes to using technology, she's really dumb and can hardly get it to work on her own. In addition she is a very boring person presenting a very boring subject. Go to class to do lecture writes and then skip the rest. The lecture is useless, discussion is where it's at. Just make sure Erin Castro's your TA

Comment:

She once received an ICIS forms with the following: If I only had 24 hours to live, I would come to her class because she would make it feel like an eternity. She thought this was a compliment.

Comment:

BORING! And I absolutely HATE how she puts her powerpoints online the night before lecture, but then changes them for lecture! WHAT IS THE POINT OF PRINTING THEM OUT IF YOU'RE JUST GOING TO CHANGE THEM ANYWAY?! She basically regurgitates the book material word for word. No real insight. It's not a horrible class, but definitely not what I expected.

Comment:

EPS 202 lecture is boring. BOOORRRIIINNNGGGG! It's not Professor Connell's fault that the material for an educational foundation class is boring, but she certainly doesn't do anything to make it... fun. EPS 202 is an easy easy easy advanced comp. class. Jeanne just happens to be the person teaching it. It's an easy class. Jeanne isn't that bad.

Comment:

If you guys did not finish advanced composition yet, I would recommend to take EPS202. It is very very easy class and you dont have to go to class. If you just concentrate on discussion section, then you will get A for sure. I've got B+ but i guess i was the only person who got this grade. SO...take this class.

Comment:

This class is extremely easy, but Professor Connell is extremely boring. It is not necessary to attend lecture other than the day she gives a lecture write for points. I also had no idea what this class was about until I went to discussion. I learned everything I learned from my TA, not from her.

Comment:

It's a grave disappointment that someone who is teaching educators cannot provide a good example. The class is useless; full of common sense with little insight into anything else. On the bright side, easy A.

Comment:

This class was very easy, but completely awful. Prof. Connell's lecture slides were a straight regurgitation of the readings for the class; no extra insight was provided by going to lecture. The guest speakers brought into class were very cool, but class was pointless, just like every other education course: disappointingly useless

Good lecture, interesting topics. She caters to students who miss class a little too much, other than that, very nice and agreeable.

Professor Connell is really friendly. She is always willing to clarify any concepts that you may not understand. She posts her lectures online which makes it easy to follow her lectures. The films she shows in lecture are eye opening about the conditions in schools.

Comment:

Professor Connell has really interesting lectures and the films she shows in class-from Youtube and movies- are really helpful and these clips help the students in the class understand the material better. Understanding this material is important for written responses in both lecture and discussion- Overall this is a great class!

Comment:

I HATED THIS CLASS! She is a nice person, but a horrible lecturer. She is boring and gets sidetracked a lot. She reads right off the power point. If lecture wasn't mandatory, I wouldn't go. You learn just as much just by reading the PowerPoints she puts online and reading the material. Easy A though (depending on your TA)

Fairly easy course with this prof. She is friendly and seems to be passionate. She tends to ramble and her slides are rather random. A required course for me that I did fairly well on. My TA was, however, very lackluster.

She is really easy and this class is really easy. I would recommend you take it as an advanced composition instead because it is sooooo easy!

This class is easy, but it depends on your TA. Her lectures though are so random and wierd. She puts pictures on there that have nothing to do with anything and then, she puts so much information on one slide...
