Comment:

Is Dr. Idee a tough grader? Yes. But, if you actually pay attention and read your assignments, you'll make it. Dr. Idee also encourages you to see her during office hours all the time. I only wish that there were more assignments, because the few that you have are major. Dr. Idee believes in tough love, because college only gets harder...

She is definitely the hardest professor I've ever had. Her assignments don't reflect what she teaches, and she grades so harshly it's unbelievable. Definitely try to avoid this professor if you can!

Comment:

You have 4 opportunities of grades, one being a group project. What is on the test, well surpasses what is talked about in class. The hardest grader I have ever had and her feedback on graded assignments is about things she never mentioned having to do. I was excited for this class but it ended up being my worst class. I wish I had never taken it.

Comment:

Dr. Idee is one of the most difficult professors I've ever taken, especially considering that this was a freshman starter class. Her grading is exceptionally tough and specific and she holds very high expectations which is unfair considering her explanations of assignments and projects are extremely unclear and confusing. Would not recommend.

Comment:

Worst professor I have ever had! Hard grader even though the class was an FYE. Grades are unfair & makes the class way to difficult. Class is lecture only & makes everything extremely boring & uninteresting. Project is basically graded on if she likes you or not. Find every small detail wrong & takes off points & wants essays on exams a certain way

Comment:

DO NOT take this professor, you'll regret it. This was an FYE class, mandatory for freshman to take so there was no option for withdrawal. She takes the course WAY too seriously and it's not interesting what so ever. Does not answer questions, makes you refer to the syllabus. Her lectures suck. Just don't take her.

Comment:

I took this class because I thought it would be interesting and a fun class but its not. She treats everyone like there are 5, very condescending. She gets mad if someone asks a simple question and she acts like she knows everything. I would not recommend taking her unless you wanted to be treated like you are a child.

Comment:

I took this class thinking it would be fun and interesting, needless to say, I was very wrong. As an FYE, it is VERY difficult. She makes everything soconfusing because she lectures too much abou the topic. This could be a good thing, but its not. Trust me. it's a super boring class. Also, rips apart essays, literally. I would never take her again.

Comment:

Do not take her if you can help it. She made what should have been a fairly straightforward class very difficult and graded so hard. She also was always super sassy and rude to me and made me feel stupid. Just DO NOT take her if you have another option.

Comment:

Writes directions poorly, and then penalizes you for getting results from her unclear directions, and actively tries to not acknowledge the unclearness of her directions when you bring it up. Tough grader on written section of test with a lot of other students, I only did well because I went into extreme detail and even that wasn't enough for 100%

Comment:

She is unclear about the lecture material, delegates the most ridiculous papers/assignments. So rude to students and doesn't actually answer questions but rather talks around the point. Class was always boring or superfluously confusing. Do not take her. And, if you must, good luck.

Comment:

AVOID THE CLASS! It should be easy but she makes it more difficult than it needs to be. The class has nothing to do with sociology. She lectures all semester and is very hard to listen to. Not much homework, but she is a very tough grader and can be very rude as well.

HORRIBLE teacher!! Does lectures online then you go to class and take a quiz, which most of the time has nothing to do with what you are learning, the group projects are an every class thing and are difficult and she gives you no time to complete them. her tests are impossible! She's horrible at explaining things and doesn't help the class pass

NOT a good professor- overly demanding and doesn't grade fairly. I took this 100 level class as an elective and it was a bad decision. I would never take this class or any of her classes again.

Comment:

Freshman : Do not take this class. Please heed my warning and take any other learning community or FYE. No matter what you do, she will not award you a good grade. I am a sophomore and this was the worst teacher I have ever had. Avoid her classes even if you have a slight interest, she will take it away from you.

She is a horrible teacher. I had her for my FYE and almost failed the class. She gives really hard multiple choice exams and then gives you awful grades on the written part of the exam. She is also kind of annoying when she talks. Don't take her!
