Take this online! Super easy weekly quizzes that are only 10 questions and then you do a bunch of one page assignments. Easy grader. EASY A! Very prompt in her email replies. Her quizzes are worded dumb but you can B.S. your way through them! :)

Comment:

Must attend class. Weekly quizzes online, 10 min. time limit. Very few out of class assignments. Lots of extra credit unless you make her angry. Some people will clash with her personality but she treats you like an adult. Took it Thursday nights, wasn't bad at all. Usually doesn't go all night. Take with friends, makes it better!

Comment:

Go to class. Take the quizzes (they're weekly, online). You'll be fine. Don't fall asleep in class...or text. She isn't a bad teacher, her personality just doesn't sit well with everyone. Sometimes the class can get boring...taking it with friends if you can! Makes it more bearable. Had her Thursday nights, wasn't bad at all.

Very strict, but good teacher. She is very serious when she says no cell phones or laptops in class. She is very funny. She made night class fun.

Comment:

This woman is a whack job and extrememly rude. Calls people out in front of the class and snaps if you put a finger out of line. Extremely strict. Email answers were not helpful. Seems to only want to teach her opinions. Only good thing was the easy in-class assignments and no exams - only weekly quizzes, but you only get 1 min per question.

Comment:

Dr. Benner communicates better than any professor I have ever had! If you email at 2am, you get an answer at 2am. It is so weird that one person says she does not communicate cause this is just not the case. Maybe that person asked a stupid question that didn't deserve an answer.

Comment:

She expects you to come to class and be accountable for yourself. It may seem rude or extreme to some, but not to anyone who is mature, capable, intelligent, and what you expect of a college student. Only the ones who can't cope complain because she doesn't take any of their crap.

Comment:

I like that she made student accountable for their grades. However, she is unnecessarily rude and mean. Even simple questions are met with sarcastic rude answers. I never had a personal experience but read it in every post on our discussion boards. She seems to feel it is necessary to put people down and honestly this discourages open discussions.

Dr. Benner is awesome! She makes the class interesting with her sarcastic sense of humor and relates real well to college students. None of that sugar coating stuff. Very down to eath and realistic, definitely made health a fun class to take. I would strongly recommend this class with her, it was my favorite.

Comment:

I found the class time to be pretty interesting and the homework incredibly easy, but the online tests take quite a while even with the open book. I found them quite difficult but I still got good grades on them. She is funny, but also rude in that she claims that she doesn't tolerate stupid to the point where students just find her unapproachable.

Comment:

Rude, mean, sarcastic, etc. are all understatements. Tests are crazy stupid hard even with open book. Her test answers are frequently wrong and when you tell her she is wrong its like blasphemy. Says students questions are ridiculous and she doesnt care about your grade. Total ego trip. No clue how she got a PhD or how she got hired. WORTHLESS.

Clear to understand, easy material. Test are open book, open note, open friend and not that hard. She can be very opinionated, doesn't understand legitamate excuses. Yelled at me cuz I couldn't make class cuz of my sisters wedding. But overall class was easy, just have to deal with her straight forward attitude.

She is really out there. Just a nut. I sat in the front and wish I hadn't. She's not a bad teacher but the online tests were pretty tough.

She's tough on attendance and her exams are harder than you'd expect cause they're open book, but if you talk to her she'll pretty easy going. Comes across harder than she really is.

I couldn't have finished my thesis without her. She spent hours of her own time (including over spring break) helping me with the stats for my Master's thesis. Thank you Autumn for all you do!
