Comment:

By far the worst professor I had in my Master's program. She is all about busy work and lots of superfluous papers. My friends who took this course with someone else had about 1/4 of the amount of work. Even during a pandemic with teachers teaching from home, there was no reprieve from four+ research assignments a week. NOT FRIENDLY. AVOID HER.

Comment:

She makes up policies that she doesnt have in her syllabus and I took had to get the program head involved. Even after that she refused to hear what I had to say and wouldnt respond to any questions I had in the course without being nasty. Had to file two grievances on her for making up policies in the course. Beware if you have to have her.

Comment:

Not impressed. Assignments were not explained well, feedback was frustrating. Asked question, told to go read the directions; then she went and fixed the directions. Sophomoric videos; poor use of forums (eg, everyone post huge multi-page eval plan and respond , groups would be more appropriate). Communication has misspellings and typos. Poor.

Comment:

Absolutely horrid. I've taken many online courses and this was by far the worst. It is obvious to me that EMU does no observations of course quality. Her syllabus even had typos. This is the second time I have been stuck eith this instructor. I thought the first bad experience might have been a fluke. Unfortunately, this 2nd time was worse.

Comment:

This was by far the worst professor I had at EMU! She is an absolute disgrace to higher education. Those who gave her a good review must enjoy wasting their money and getting an A for doing nothing! The ed leadership program needs to seriously rethink her involvement. She is a joke!
