Comment:

She's very all over the place. She's hilarious, yes, but it was mainly time fillers. What we learned in the class was very simple, so as long as you attend class and pay attention, you'll get good grades. Can get boring at times and you'll space out, but not bad. Take her.

Comment:

Go to class, might feel like a waste of time but she gives extra credit randomly if you do. Some lectures can be entertaining, others... not so much. If you go to class and read the book you will make an A. ALWAYS go to the two classes before the test. She basically tells what's on the exam on those days. Final's not cumulative

Comment:

The biggest WASTE OF MY TIME. This is not a hard class but she just rambles on & on & on & on! Read the book, bring your laptop or a pillow to class and you should do fine. Attendance is not mandatory but go to class in order to catch the 10 minutes that you will actually learn something. Read the book, and know names. EASY B, pretty easy A.

Comment:

Steelman is very quirky which can be entertaining at times. Class normally let out about 15 minutes early. She gave extra credit for going to class. Tests come from notes and book, but they aren't that difficult. Go to the review session and know what she puts on the study guide.

Comment:

absolutely absurd - extremely inconsiderate and completely oblivious to everything going on around her because she is so wrapped up in herself and what she herself whats to talk about (which is not consistent with the subject matter). Take this class if all you care about is getting an A and don't care about learning anything.

Comment:

I thought she was hilarious. I actually looked forward to going to class because she was so funny. That being said, she went off on tangents a lot and never really talked about the material too much. Randomly took attendance. Go to reviews and read the book and it's not too hard.

Comment:

this class was really disapointing. she never goes in depth about anything, and doesn't really make it very interesting. she's really nice and the class is easy but she was completely uninspiring and never facilitated good discussions.

Comment:

Teacher is very entertaining but she does not cover the material in the book. She spends more time talking about herself, her family, and other current events. Key to doing well is going to review and reading chapter. Here lectures are very disorganized and incoherent.

Comment:

Topics covered in this class include Gene Simmons and the Family Jewels, her perfect daughter, and her husband. She talks about herself all the time and you basically learn nothing. She makes up statistics that you won't find anywhere! She even talks through the exams which makes it super hard to concentrate. Easy class but would not recommend her

Comment:

The class is boring but the teacher is pretty funny and very easy. she tends to talk about herself a lot and i'm pretty sure all the stats/facts/stories she says are not true, but she is a nice lady and means well. easy A if you go to the review, read the book before the test, etc.

Comment:

The class is very easy if you read the book. No point attending class except on review day. Teacher is not very intelligent or knowledgeable. Info would be interesting but she makes up facts and statistics and you never know what information is true. Huge waste of time, but an easy A. She?s nice, she?s just an idiot.

Great class, she is funny and wants to know students opinions about the movies. Great summer class because a lot time to watch movies. She talks a lot about her family but she is a good professor.

This class is so easy! And she is so nice and funny. She makes a long lecture fun. You must study for her tests; however, she does grade with a curve. Possibly the easiest professor at USC.

Comment:

She is a good teacher, talks about her personal stories a lot but class is pretty interesting. You do have to study the book for tests, her in class notes tend to be unclear but she also curves pretty well. Attendance is not mandaotry but she will give extra credit on random days for being there.

Comment:

She is an interesting teacher. She tends to talk about her daughter and family alot. If you read and study the textbook and turn up to class then it is easy to pass this class. She is laid back and can also be quite funny.

Comment:

This is my favorite professor of all time. Her classes are really interesting and she makes me want to come to class. One time it was snowing and her class got canceled, and I was actually sad. Some of the material on the tests she hasn't covered, but the grades are curved so don't sweat it. I would definitely recommend this professor to anyone

Comment:

Not enough content in her lectures - she gives too much of her opinion and anecdotes and not enough material. Very lenient grading on the 1st exam, but not on the 2nd (only 2 exams & final). A few bonus points here and there. Gives study guides; exams sometimes accurately reflect material. Tends to be unprofessional and inappropriate.
