Comment:

Dr. Presley is a very nice professor but her classes can be tough. It's a lot of memorization and her exams often cover a lot of material. However, she does give extra credit and occasionally will scale exams if everyone does poorly. Overall, I would recommend taking Dr. Presley but maybe not for Textiles.

I wouldn't advise taking this class as a mini-semester because it contains a lot of material. She didn't answer my emails (which was frustrating bc it was an online class), but she seemed nice and her tests come straight from her lectures. She sometimes gave extra credit on her tests, too. Just study the lectures thoroughly, and you should be fine!

Had a good experience with this professor. All of her tests come straight from her lectures, so make sure to study those good. If you do, your pretty much guaranteed an A in her class. Also, going to class for participation points and doing an easy project will help your grade a lot.

Dr. Presley is one of my favorite professors at Auburn. She is very knowledgable and tries to make the class interesting. The exams are not bad as long as you come to class and pay attention. She also gives study guides to help you out. Overall it's a fairly easy class, just a lot of information to remember.

Comment:

Presley loved teaching this class which made me love it & her. We had 4 tests that were loaded with info. She gives study guides that are helpful, but super long. Write down everything she says in class (or writes on the board) because they'll be on the tests. She tweets test hints, and ended up letting students exempt the final if we had an A!

Dr. Presley is so sweet and funny. Her tests are a little bit difficult as each one has a LOT of material on it, but the learning catalytics program she uses in class will carry your grade as long as youre there to do it every day. Would love to take her again!

Comment:

Pre-warning that I'm coming on here with a blind rage that I am making the same grade in this "easy" class that I am in CHEM 2. Freaking ridiculously long powerpoints per test and as much as I did to prepare (ALOT) I still got mid-Bs. I am a VERY good studier and hold a 3.7 GPA with hard science classes yet this class was ridiculously difficult.

Comment:

She is the best! She is definitely quirky, she's very funny and always asks the class about Auburn Football. She gives fill in the blank notes, and the tests always come directly from the notes. She does go really really fast, so you have to pay attention. Attendance is not mandatory, sometimes she does participation points online, tests online too

Comment:

Shes kind of quirky and annoying but overall pretty good. Class isnt mandatory but she does random participation points during the week that counts towards attendance. Her tests are all online and oddly very hard for how easy the class seems. She also goes through the lectures very fast its hard to keep up.

Comment:

Dr. Presley is by far one of my favorite professors at Auburn. She is funny and makes the class interesting. While the course mostly lectures with fill in the blank powerpoint slides, I find the class quite interesting. She gives study guides for the tests and the final is not cumulative. Highly recommend.

This class is easy if you go to class, take detailed notes, and memorize the lectures for the tests. She goes through the lectures pretty fast, so it can be hard to keep up, but she has powerpoint slides to follow.

Comment:

Presley is a good professor. She lectures the whole time, but with fill in the blank notes on a powerpoint. Attendance is not mandatory, but there are participation questions twice a week at the end of the lecture for a part of your grade. Also had a pretty easy project at the end which can help your grade if you work hard enough.

Comment:

She goes so off topic in lectures, it is annoying and hard to follow. She tries to be current and it's cringey. The powerpoints are fill in the blank, so note-taking is not hard. Easiest exams, with all questions on Quizlets online. You don't have to show up, unless you want Learning Catalytics to boost your grade with bonus.

Comment:

Interesting class, uses powerpoints with blanks that you fill in during the lecture. Final is not cumulative. Uses learning catalytics to take attendance about 3/4 of the time. Sometimes the tests are worded weirdly but they're good about taking out bad questions. One project that's pretty easy, 4 other tests and LC are the only grades.

Comment:

Good teacher. As long as you study lectures (& details) you will do fairly well. You use learning catalytics which is basically an easy online pop quiz at the end of 2/3 classes. You can use notes & thats what they use in place of attendance. If you get 100/130 points, then you get 100% for that, so missing a few is okay.

If you go to class and spend a little time actually studying the notes from class before the test this class will be an easy A. Her lectures aren't super boring and shes a super nice professor. She does do in class assignments 1-2 times a week so I would go to class to get those points but she actually posts videos of the lectures on canvas too

The lectures are online so attendance isn't mandatory but you get a few points a day for showing up so you'll need to go most of the time. Tests are pretty easy and the project is super easy.

Comment:

I generally liked this class. While it wasn't the most interesting, it was fairly easy. Attendance isn't mandatory, but go to as many as possible so you can try and get extra credit at the end of the semester. To study for the tests, just memorize the lectures and you'll get an A. Overall, and easy class if you do exactly what she tells you to do.
