Comment:

I was very nervous to go into this class because of some bad reviews I had read on here but I loved Dr. Nugent! She will roast you and other people so you just have to learn not to take it personally, it get's pretty funny. There are bonus questions on every test and quiz. If you get an A on the third test you can opt out of the final!

Comment:

Dr. Nugent was a character. That was the best part of her class, the fact that shes really funny, but shes also incredibly harsh. Her grading is ridiculous as she doesnt give requirements on what she wants. She also assigns way more than necessary for the final, including a giant group project and full exam. Would not take this class again.

Comment:

Nugent is the kind of person who grows on you. She has VERY high standards for her classes, especially LLT 102 (never taken it, just heard her talk about it). For any class with her, she'll call you out for not attending or doing the work, but as long as you make your best effort and do the homework she'll help you through it. Use office hours!

You will learn to love Professor Nugent! She may seem intimidating at first, but that is because she knows that her students are capable of more than they think. Show up to class, do your homework, and you will ace her tests/quizzes. Get an A on all 3 tests in her class, no final required. Overall, she is a very caring and GREAT professor.

Comment:

At first I was very intimidated by her, however, as the semester went on I got used to her. Just work hard and get her to like you. She is also a lot more lenient with you if you show up to class. I had to miss a test and she let me come into her office but she didn't have it written yet so we just talked through the info and then said I got an A.

Comment:

Dr Nugent is one of my favorite professors here. She is strict, but more than fair. If you show up and study, you'll ace the class and you can walk the final. Her Med Term class really helped with further medical courses I had to take and she's more than happy to help you when you need it. I would take her again in a heart beat, I love her to bits.

I absolutely loved taking Classical Mythology with Pauline Nugent. She is super bubbly, knowledgeable, and fair. Be prepared to work hard for your grade. Definitely need to read the materials (very interesting books), take notes, and study hard in order to succeed. We wrote papers, took tests, and did group projects. Overall, great professor!

Comment:

She's very animated and makes class less of a bore because of how weird she is. Don't be late to class she'll call you out. I've heard that she is very rude to people who aren't doing well in the class. Overall the tests and quizzes aren't too difficult. Don't buy the dictionary she recommends, I never used it once (Google works better).

Comment:

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Nugent! She is caring, hilarious, and if you put in effort in her class and try to get to know her a bit, she truly will warm up to you and be your friend. Also, if you keep a good standing A in the class you get a pass on the final, so that is motivation enough to warm up to her and try hard in her class.

I cant believe people gave her great reviews. She always makes many mistakes when grading you test/ quizzes. Her class is based on 4 quizzes and 3 test. To walk the final you need a A. If you take the final she doesn't give you he full 2 hours to take the final. She tell kids they won't make in their career field if they don't pass her class.

You have to do your work for this class, if you dont she will call you out on it. Her test are very hard and she will put the smallest detail on her tests so attendance is mandatory.

So far has been my favorite teacher. She is picky about her quizzes and tests but gives good feedback so you know what she wants. I learned so much from her that I know I will use for my future career. She is funny and I never wanted to skip class (surprisingly) she lets you walk on the final if you ace all her tests, she will call u out so show up

Shes a great teacher, but you might not like her at first. She will call you out if you are late, didnt do the reading, etc. But, she is hilarious and makes her lectures fun. If everyone doesnt do well on the test, she will add a little bit of extra points to the test. Her essays are more about how you write, and not about the subject.

Lots of homework and studying needed. Memorization is key here. She calls people out when they don't do their work and it's honestly a nice change of pace. I know people that have dropped because of that. Do your work and show up on time and she won't call you out. It's simple. She's a great teacher other than that but expect to do some studying

I have Dr. Nugent for LLT 121. Mythology is not something I understand very well but if you go to her office hours she is very helpful and knows you are actually trying to do well in her class and might even effect how she grades your projects.

Pauline publicly embarrasses students daily. Don't fill out your book? She will stop class to call you out. Walk in 1 minute late? She will stop class to call you out. Expects way too much out of a 100 level class, and she is very patronizing.. Wouldn't recommend, especially if you plan on it being easy. Lots of homework for no additional points.

She's a tough professor that believed in tough love. Go to her office if you did poorly on a quiz. Students cried when they left her office bc she told them they wouldn't make it in the medical field. I got A's on her tests & quizzes & she always said not your best. She talks to you after the test which is encouraging. I got a walk on the final.

Dr. Nugent is an extremely caring professor. She comes to class prepared, answers any and all questions you may have, and goes above and beyond explaining things. I missed a class and went to see her in her office and she gave the entire lecture to me while I was there, answering questions. Four quizzes and three tests make up your grade.
