Comment:
She's very approachable even outside of class. However, she doesn't explain things well and is sometimes vague about describing what she wants you to put on assignments. She's very excitable about what she is teaching, but she teaches in a boring fashion. I want to fall asleep in her class.

very nice person...but that's about it that's good. She is a HARD grader and if you start off on her "bad" list, your GPA will SUFFER!

Great teacher and very interested in politics. Be wary though -- if you're not interesting, she won't be interested in you or in what you say.

She was the reason I did NOT continue in teaching. Very difficult, and her opinions are very...different. But definitely a nice person.

Everyone has good comments about Graves, but I found her very frustrating in classes and grading. If you didn't give her EXACTLY the right thought, quote, answer, you're wrong. Slammed my GPA, when I know my grades didn't reflect my work in class.

Definitely the best teacher I've had and I'm not an Educ major. Took ****s and ****s in Education with her and learned so much. Can't wait to take another with her. Highly recommend!

Dr. Graves, as my advisor and friend, has been an amazing source of wisdom and guidance in my life. She is intelligent, well-read, organized, and dedicated to her beliefs about education. No doubt any course of hers will teach you a great deal.
