Comment:

Kim is an amazing professor who has hilarious stories, and nows how to tell them. She goes out of her way to add extra visuals and materials to insure understanding. Kim's only drawback is she very lecture heavy.

Easy class. I left after signing in everyday and got a B+. Rarely any assignments but a good amount of exams. Exams arent impossible but you should study a little if you arent paying attention. No attendance points but she boosted my grade from b to b+ bc i only missed one class. gives a lot of extra credit on a random day of class towards end

The study guides do not include all material on the test so you have to over study. Not any homework so it's hard to get an A if you don't do well on test

Really easy. She says attendance matters but it doesn't. You get like 5 assignments. Don't buy the book she posts powerpoints over what you'll need to know for the test. She'll email you if there's an assignment or extra credit opportunity. She posts study guides. She's funny and she cares.

I absolutely loved having her for a professor. She really does care about her students and keeps it real. She provides opportunities for extra credit and is typically laid back. Her exams can be tricky but not too difficult at all. She provides all of the lecture slides on Canvas and says herself that the textbook is not needed whatsoever.

Comment:

Lecture Heavy -4 tests (400 pts. @100 each) -1 final (100 pts.) -Assignments (55 pts) Tests are based on lectures, outlines for tests not the best. Sometimes goes over outline for test if time allows. Class is cancelled whenever new test is published.

Comment:

Ms. Stassen is real and understands her class is one of many youre taking. However, her tests were very difficult, especially in the beginning when she didnt go over exact material. Her study guides are very vague. There are five tests including the final. It was difficult to take notes in her class and know what exactly would be on the test.

She is an awesome person! She does her best to make lectures entertaining. There is rarely homework and when there is, it is super straightforward. There are 5 tests which are more difficult than you expect them to be. Going to see her before a test helps. She also gives a decent amount of extra credit. Overall, a very chill class.

Mrs. Stassen was is my favorite teacher this semester! She's easy to talk to and she's genuine. She's also easy to contact and she gives out quite a bit of extra credit opportunities. If you pay attention during the lecture and study for tests you'll do great in this course.

Comment:

Kimberli is by far one of my favorite teachers! She does take attendance but it's a sheet that's passes around, just have to check your name. Just goes over power points and the study guides/tests are straight from the power point. Kimberli is a really funny teacher and makes the class entertaining. One of the easiest classes I've ever taken

Comment:

Dr. Stassen is an amazing professor. She is hilarious but doesn't let her humor get in the way of her teaching. You do one project but other than that the class is all lectures. The tests are tricky at times but as long as you do a quick review before taking the test you'll do fine. If you're taking HSC 150, take Dr. Stassen!!!

I loved this class and this professor so much. Halfway through the semester, I found out that my major no longer accepted this class, but I still enjoyed going and it was a decent GPA boost. Stassen is extremely funny and can make a joke about any topic to keep you entertained.

Exams500 points, HW65 points but dont let that scare you because this class is one of the easiest I've ever taken. 5 tests total but she gives AMAZING studyguides & review days. Her HW are easy and very interesting/fun. No one actually pays attention in class, but she does mark attendance. She also provides lots of extra credit. Great & fun prof.

Kim is the best prof! She gives lots of extra credit and makes it very easy to get a good grade. We had four tests including the final, and the final wasn't even cumulative. Don't buy the book because she posts everything you need to know in a powerpoint to blackboard

She made lectures as interesting and fun as she could. She's hilarious and works well with her students. Her final is non-acccumlative and you won't need a book. As long as you show up to class, do a couple assignments, and show up to take the exams, you're golden.

Professor was amazing. She was very down to earth and cares about her students. Attendance isn't mandatory, but she will bump your grade up at the end of the semester based on your attendance. NO HW. Gives 30-50 points of extra credit. Class is easy and she is a great prof. Highly recommend.
