Comment:

This class is extremely difficult and boring to learn. She is very open to questions and wants to help out the students, but her lectures are boring and the assignments are difficult. The projects force you to repeat grueling assignments you have already done before and you still don't learn the information. Textbook not used.

Comment:

Nicest teacher Ive had and cares about her students. This class is heavy project and test based. Willing to host lab hours and stay at night until every student leaves. Her grading is mediocre going into the final 30% of the class was graded. She also gave up on grading the biggest project 15% and did not enter it into final grades; waste of time

Comment:

Professor Bristow was one of the best teachers I had at the University of Arkansas. The class was difficult for me but Professor Bristow was always kind and willing to help. She has office hours if you are having issues and she responds to emails quickly. Professor Bristow is an amazing teacher and I recommend taking her if you can.

Dr. Bristow is a great professor. The class in general Is boring so all the assignments are boring. But she is so caring and wants you to ace the class and gives everyone candy on their birthday.

Comment:

Professor Bristow is so nice. She cares so much about her students that she stay in the lab until 2am to help people finish their projects. The assignments and projects aren't hard they just get confusing sometimes and she'll help you through it if you ask. The down side is she's bad at putting in grades. We were missing 300/525 points at the final

Bristow really cares about her students. She makes a class that has a lot of work, go a lot more smoothly than otherwise. You have to go to class to understand what you are doing, but she does record lectures just in case. There is a lot of work but she is great at responding to emails. One of my favorites. Love her.

Comment:

ERP II is not the most exciting/easy class in the world. However, Dr. Bristow is passionate about the subject and truly cares about her students. She spends hours in the lab helping with projects and replies quickly to emails regarding questions etc. The tests can be tricky, but there are a lot of points in the class to balance it out. Sweet lady!

Comment:

When preparing to take her first exam I want you to sit back and think very hard about anything else you might possibly have to do that week. Not kidding, anything. Go to lunch, make a birdhouse, get the flu. If you do, I suggest you do it. Studying for this exam is about as pointless as diet water. She teaches you nothing relevant. Good luck

Listen, if you got anything below an A in this class its because you didn't read the book. Read the chapters in the book she covers in class, and you'll be golden. The tests are based off the book, and a little bit is from the PowerPoint slides. If you're having trouble, she's accessible outside of class and is always willing to help you out.

Comment:

Tests were never like the "reviews" we got. The "reviews" were just the objectives at the end of each chapter. The tests were also not relevant to the lectures at all. She made it way to difficult and honestly going to class was a waste of time. The only reason I went is because she would take attendance randomly and that was 10% of my grade.

Do not let her high RMP rating fool you. Bristow was hands down the worst professor I've ever had. Her tests are not at all like what she says they're going to be and she is the queen of "I'll have it in Bb tonight" and then not follow through. Take Dr. Ma and save yourself the headache.

Comment:

I have never seen or taken a professor like Dr B. She was in the lab from 18:00 - 5am just to help students finish the project. She teaches the materials step by step, records all lectures, stay after classes to help, replies emails in a timely manner and will still spend 4 nights to make sure every students who cares, finishes the project.

Comment:

The worst professor I have ever had. The lecture have nothing to do with the tests. She expects you to memorize the whole book for each test. The only review she gives are chapter summaries straight from the book. I took her because of her great reviews, and she turned out to be the complete opposite.

Have you ever had a class where the majority of classes are guest speakers that are as dry as watching paint dry? Well you're in for a treat if you're wanting to take this class. Her tests are nothing based on her lectures, and she doesn't give thorough reviews. She expects us to study and know over 150 vocab terms for her test. Would not recommend

Comment:

TAKE ANYONE BUT HER. She is HORRIBLE. She spent an hour and 15 minutes lecturing us how to make pb&js and then proceeds to give us tests that everyone fails. Takes at least 3 weeks to put in test grades from 50 question long tests with questions pulled out of nowhere. (keep in mind the other professor gives his class 16 q tests). DO NOT TAKE HER!!

Comment:

Awful teacher. When anyone asks a question, she googles the question in front of the class. Made a easy class so difficult and her test are insanely hard. She never really teaches the material and never gives an actual review of what to study for test. Would NOT recommend taking her class.

Makes a pointless class much more difficult than it needs to be. Takes weeks to return exam grades. One of those professors who runs over time and gets offended when people leave. Avoid
