Comment:

She does NOT do online classes well. Excessive writer, which makes it all confusing. Stresses proper citations more than the chem. Only enjoyable if truly interested, willing to work butt off, read a ton, and put far too many hours in than the class is worth. If you REALLY want to learn a lot, you will. But this honor student is so NOT enjoying it.

This class is like taking environmental science online. Cite everything and cease having your own thoughts. More work for 3 credits than in most 5 credit classes.

Comment:

This teacher is absolutely rediculous. I had two typos on my first assignment and I got a ZERO, not a lowered grade, but a zero, and she claimed it was plagiarism. What? I will be taking my case to the school board for them to evaluate her teaching skills.

Comment:

I am still trying to understand what is so great about her as an instructor or maybe that it is that she sucks as a E-learning teacher. In her writting assignments, she asks you to define the most obvious information and detail to the point of being infantile. I spent more time working on her class than I did working on my other 3 classes combine

Comment:

Out of the all the classes that I have taken at Clark, this professor was the most dedicated and excellent teacher I have ever had. She would let us call her at 10pm to ask questions if the study group got lost. But now she is gone to start a family. I hope she comes back someday so others can experience her teaching first hand.

Definitely brilliant. Explained difficult concepts and made them easier to grasp. Although she takes no s**t from students, she doesn't dish it out either.

Comment:

How anyone could not adore this woman is beyond me. She is one of the hardest yet brilliant teachers at this school. Her knowledge is bar none and she is very respectful of her students...this is not an easy class but she made me want to learn and I still remember what I learned. To bad she was pregnant and had to leave for a bit.

One of my favorite teachers at Clark. She's great at explaining concepts and is really concerned about her students. no hw was great, but doing the study work is pretty essential to passing. also very sympathetic- understands her students- GREAT TEACHER!

Comment:

I found her explanations very helpful but she does expect a lot of studying out of class. If you don't, you won't do very well on the tests. She doesn't give homework, grades are based on labs, tests, and finals.

Comment:

One of the worst teachers I have had. She doesn't explain things well at all and if you don't do things her way, then it has to be wrong. I took nothing out of that class.
