Comment:
Professor Kaldis is often times not clear, tends to be ambiguous and not very personable. It is difficult to ask questions to Professor Kaldis and actually receive an answer. Kaldis also does not provide any help for her writing students.

Comment:
Disjointed and poorly prepared, As director of Writing and Legal Advocacy she screwed up the fact patterns, used out of date laws, and old instructions (2007) to assemble the briefs that are not correct in 2010. She seems more interested in coffee with the staff than teaching the class.

Comment:
Nature of the course (beast) easily makes the instructor an easy target for disdain. However, I found Prof. Kaldis extremely helpful and kind. She does extremely well when you get one-on-one instructions. Very fair grader; extremely patient. Very competent teacher if you can see past her critique of your writing skills, or lack of. Recommended.

this class was not worth at all. Her teaching skills are very poor. Generally everybody was confused in her class as she didn't know what she was looking for. Try to avoid taking it with her!

Professor KALDIS is an exceptional teacher. She takes the time to explain and assist. Recommend taking this over the summer.

Comment:
I took R & W II and it was poorly organized, the section teacher did a better job with the crap they were given then this person did in the large class. Anyway, Dickinson, Kaldis, whatever she's called is very liberal and has an affinity for several causes: GLAD, ALCU, etc. That comes across in the kind of material in the classes. So be warned.

Many times in my life I have been walking and stepped in a big pile of dog poop. After I scraped it off, I felt better, but it still stunk like poop. Oh yeah, this class sucks too. I recommend sucking on your tailpipe and then calling 911 for advise.
