Comment:

Professor Franklin is a very sweet and understanding professor who gives plenty of constructive criticism, with that being said she doesn't like it when you do not take into consideration her comments. Most of her comments are suggestions and if you do not use them exactly how she wants you to, she gets very upset. We went on alot of fieldtrips.

Comment:

Professor Franklin is the best CCNY professor who cares about her work and her students! I loved the trips we took and wanted to take more, but we had only a few because of weather. She grades fairly and cares about if her students understand the material or not. I would love to take her class again! :) #Best Education Instructor ever!!!!!!

Comment:

Prof. Franklin is by far the best professor I have ever had! She changed my life! She really cares about her work and her students, and it is blatantly obvious that she is a master at her craft. We are as involved in the classroom as she is, and we all have a voice. She helped us create a sense of community and develop long lasting friendships!

At first, I was thrown off on the amount of trips she took us on, but as time went by, it started to make sense. No textbook, amazing feedback. If you're not a strong writer please go to the writing center before turning in papers. She takes attendance and gives extra credit which is good. Classroom was very open-ended. I recommend.

Comment:

Extremely engaging and helpful. If you're a Type A personality, her VERY open-ended style may be unsettling at first. Assignments may seem unclear, as she's more interested in what YOU get out of them than in filling your head for you; YOU fill in much of their purpose. Just finish assignments, and be passionate and engaged, and you'll do fine.

Comment:

Professor Franklin is a joy to have! YOU MUST TAKE HER! As a first time education student, she really showed me the ropes to education. She was very welcoming and is even my adviser. She is very lenient with her work, she never raises her voice and is such a sweetheart. She is very intrigued by what the student has to say. We only had 3 papers.

Comment:

She was easy and all her work was not that hard. She does like to give a lot of readings but it's all pretty easy. No final, no midterm for the class. Just do the papers which comes out to be about 3 in total or so. Fieldwork is required and participation is a must. Overall, an easy class.

I liked this professor, she seemed to be very into the education field. However sometimes she gives this weird look and pauses in the middle of student responses and it makes me feel a little unsure and uncomfortable.

At, first she was a very nice professor. Gave too much work and at times didn't really get a chance to go over it. Participation is a must. Towards the middle I lost interest because of a rude comment she said to me.

Comment:

Attendance is a must. Professor wants to help students, she just needs the student to give her a chance. There are a few papers to hand in, but after all this is a [W] course. Just don't fall behind handing in papers. She is somewhat lenient when it's your first late paper. =]

Comment:

This teacher at first was very nice. At one point in the beginning this was my favorite class at City and towards the middle of the semester, I just stopped caring. The work became useless, she gave us a lot of busy work and other times I felt like she was asking for too much when it came to other assignments. She to me just lost my interest.

I truly admire her! She has so much dedication and knowledge. Highly recommended. A lot of readings and projects , some of my classmates criticize the work but I think that it is necessary to really understand what teaching is all about. Great personality too.
