Comment:

You have to work for this class. Lots of reading and the information is not cohesive. Take it seriously, take notes, ask questions via canvas and be on top of due dates. There are a lot of different due dates for the quizzes, exams, group projects , papers etc so be aware (NO LATE EXCEPTIONS). She comes off as a little arrogant but means well.

Comment:

Not too easy, not too hard. You really need to exert EFFORT and STUDY the materials in order to pass. 2 extra credits - 25 points each, 4 essays (50 points each), 4 exams (100-150 points), 4 group discussion (25 points). I took her online class and she's very organized. She replies within the day. Doable if you're going to take her class seriously.

Comment:

I took the winter accelerated course. It was a lot of work, but worth it. She gives extra credit (which you should do), and I was able to do well by skimming through the reading and taking some notes when I knew I would be tested on something. Don't fall behind, work hard, and you'll get an A.

Comment:

An inspirational instructor, that makes you think out of the box. Written and group projects are required, and expect detailed and timely responses. Extra credit is possible, but don't think that you can be passive, and still receive a great grade. Follow her feedback carefully, she is fair, committed to the student, and still loves to teach!

The only reason you would not get an A in this class is if you forget to take a test before the deadline. She gives easy test, just don't forget to do them.

Comment:

Professor Rogacs gives great lectures, easy to comprehend material. She likes to use canvas and softchalk lessons, so be prepared for online assignments. 3 exams, fairly easy if you study and understand the material, and 2-3 papers, and an extra credit paper. As long as you pay attention to the material, you will do fine. Ask for help, she's nice.

You'll have to put in the effort to earn the grade you want. Definitely do the extra credit assignment(s). The feedback she gives is really helpful. Don't hesitate to ask questions. You will not regret taking this class.

Pretty consistent class. Hw is easy, the only challenge is the tests. All tests were short answer with explanation except for one. Quick to grade and give feedback and answer questions. Not bad for my first online class. I'd recommend this! Survived without the textbook.

She is really knowledgeable. I think she made my last course in English enjoyable. Even though tests are really tough, but I still think the class is really fun. She gives helpful feedback. The grades are usually updated within the two days after the due time. I worked really hard for the class and this class is definitely worth the challenge!

Comment:

Because of Prof. Rogacs I changed my major to philosophy. Everybody should take this critical thinking class at some point. Rogacs is a fantastic professor, responds to emails quickly, and grades assignments within 1 or 2 days. This class is not an easy A. You have to understand the material clearly to pass the exams.

Loved her class. Doesn't hesitate to clarify and crystal clear lectures. This class doesn't require alot of time, but you gotta study for tests. 4 exams, watch out for exam 2 its about moral reasoning. Essays are easy just listen to her instructions. Took her for honors and to get credit you have to do a youtube video.

Comment:

She's very knowledgeable&helpful. Her class is pretty simple; 4 exams(2 50 multiple choice ?'s, 2 written) 4 hw assignments, extra credit paper, softchalk lessons&FINAL(wiki project). BEWARE OF EXAM 2 THOUGH! Philosophy is not hard, applying the concepts is hard and she makes it simple and understandable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER
