Comment:

Dr. B (better call her that too, otherwise shelol scold you) is all-around a very smart professor. She doesnt know what boundaries are and never explains anything. She just tells you to follow the syllabus (which doesnt explain either). GOOD LUCK, youll need it.

Comment:

Difficult lectures. Unclear assignments. Limited office hours and appointment times. Funny, upbeat, loves teaching, but scary sarcastic and can be intimidating. As a professor, she expects you to dedicate your life to being a student, so she might glaze over anything that might hurt a soft soul. Be prepared to work.

Comment:

The worst professor I've ever had. She is not clear about her assignments and does not write things down. Would never take again. Show up or she'll get mad. She was the worst part of my semester.

Dr. B is great. she can be a little rough around the edges but if you get on her good side (not that hard) she really does care about you.

DR. B is one of the most interactive professors I have ever had. Her friendliness makes her easy to approach. However, she can sometimes be unclear with assignments, but will clarify if approached during office hours.

Comment:

Loved the class. She is so hilarious! She had some very fun activities that actually pertained to the class. She was so fun to have as a prof. I would HIGHLY reccommend her. Only disappointment was that she wasn't always clear on what to do for assignments.

I had her many moons ago - she was bright as all, but scared me. Did not foster communicative environments - good thing she was a Rhetorical Theorist!

Comment:

I had Dr. B before, team-teaching an intro-level class, & she was just fine. In 3071 I was miserable. She was cruel to students, unstable, off-topic, & very unclear about what she wanted. At one point she flat-out refused to help students. I've heard she's having personal problems, & hope that was the case. I hope her sabbatical will help her.

Comment:

Razor wit and considering nothing sacred makes her one of the best! She realizes what is too mundane to focus on and makes you care about what you're doing. Unbelievable humor and not afraid to make fun of moronic students.

Sometimes the sarcasm was a little over the top- but she did bring our class cake, and was helpful if there were questions. Used her own book which the bookstore would not buy back.

She's clear on what she wants, but can be very sarcastic and demeaning at times. Upbeat: yes. She's a loud extrovert, which can be intimidating.

Great great great professor. Helpful, upbeat, and makes you want to be in class. I don't think I've met a more upbeat prof who really shows they want to be there teaching.
