Comment:

Honestly my favorite professor at FSU so far. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, I'd still want to show up to her classes. Engaging in class and exams are literally word for word off the study guide. Honestly, you have to try to not get an A in her class. Taking her Adv. Terrorism Topics class next semester.

The mandatory textbook for this course (authored by the professor) is RIDICULOUSLY expensive (currently $146 on Amazon). The quality of the class materials and instruction was lacking.

Took her class for both PAD4374 (online) and PAD4375 (in class). Great teacher. Actively engages students in real world issues and always makes sure to stay current. Teaches with a harsh but playful sense of humor. Recommended.

Comment:

Hardest most unreasonable tests I've taken at FSU. Do not take any class with her unless you want to drive yourself crazy studying or like listening to her lame jokes and failed stand up comedy routine all semester long. I really can't stress how annoying she can get over the duration of the class. Made going to class pretty much unbearable.

She has a very in your face style of teaching, and the atmosphere can feel hostile. With someone with an anxiety disorder, classes were a nightmare for me. I also took her online and I can attest the TA is incompetent.

Great teacher, would not recommend her online TA. Textbook was necessary for online quizzes and the test was cumulative from lecture slides. My grade in the class looked iffy but if you can write (2) good papers you should pass in a jiffy.

I love Audrey's knowledge however her TA Mentor that is not mentioned will teach this class was abhored in her ability to translate why she had to change your grade on tests which were never correct, gave little helpful feedback on paper's and lowered my GPA, first C I have ever received. DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE CLASS THAT STEFFANIE WAITE is the TA

If you want an A you can get an A. If you have a problem and you go see Audrey - she will help you. A much easier grad class than most - and VERY fair.

WOW! I really WISH my professors were all like this. 1st - everything you need to know is in the syllabus - EVERYTHING. 2nd - If you do the assignments based on the directions (in the syllabus) you will get an A. She says she wants you to get an A in her class - and she means it!

Audrey is GREAT! She is hilarious and even brought her dog to class one day. But she does make the tests/quizzes very difficult you MUST study!! But overall I liked her and the TA Brad in the class. They are both hilarious and memorized all of our names. Take her if you can!! (:

Comment:

Audrey is like no other undergrad teacher you will ever experience. Enthusiastic isn't a strong enough word to describe her. And David Merrick, the other prof who teaches with her, is awesome. & he def helps balance the class. Tests have very few multiple choice so study your butt off. However, after increasing my study habits I was scoring 105s

Comment:

STAY AWAY! I was amazed at how rude the teacher and especially the TA were in the (online) class! Every email we received was extremely condescending and mean. I did get an A in this class but I found myself having a panic attack during every test. The final lasts 2 hours and is like 250 (extremely hard) questions long. BE WARNED - STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

The material covered is quite interesting. The class itself, however, is mentally draining and a major headache.

Comment:

Quite possibly the most difficult A I have ever earned. Interesting information but the assignments will kill you if you are taking 3-6 other classes. Spent much of this online class terrified that my browser would crash in the middle of an exam. Somehow I wrote two A papers and pulled through with a blessing and a miracle. STRESSFUL.

Comment:

The 2 pts. extra credit go a loooong way. Reason I ended up with a B instead of a C. Not a GPA-killer, but not a super easy A either.
