Comment:

Worst professor I have ever taken, says you have to show up to class but she is absent more than anyone and if shes not absent shes late to class. Never emails you back, horrible grader, rude and she doesn't have a canvas page so its makes it that much harder to keep up with the class.

Comment:

This professor is terrible. She sends an e-mail 10 minutes before class stating she wont be at class, does it over 10 times per semester. She expects you to go off the syllabus, yet the tests are based off what you learn in class and she's never there to teach anything. When you e-mail her, she never e-mails you back. Worst professor I've ever had.

Comment:

You have three exams and three papers. Her lectures can be boring because she paces back and forth in the front of the room, but as long as you take good notes and study you will be fine. She doesn't use powerpoints but writes the topics she's going to be talking about. Not an "easy" professor, but a good one to take if you want to learn something

Comment:

I didn't hate the class. The tests were lenient (you could be literal with the directions), and the papers were not difficult if you followed the directions. She likes to pace and talk aloud about the subject in the front of the room which can make you not get all of the material. Makes some jokes. Not bad but not too good either.

Comment:

I took her political science 101 course and it was the most painful class of my life. Probably the worst lecturer ever. She cant explain anything with clarity and doesnt use any power points or anything to help aid your learning. She cant answer simple yes or no questions without going into a 10 minute spiel about nonsense. take any class but hers

Comment:

Professor Adams is very good at spending time on material, but she is a very tough grader. Be very specific in your responses. The class consisted of mainly essays and exams. She is very open to answering any questions you may have. Don't get on her bad side, though. Make sure you keep up with her because she does teach relatively fast paced.

Great professor, even though her class wasn't easy and she wasn't always clear at time during lecture, I ended up loving the class. Tests are straight forward, she gives a study guide, and she's a pretty fair grader. Have an opinion, ask questions, you learn so much through class discussion, she just loves when you have something to say.

Comment:

Dr. Adams is great, class can be intensive if you fall behind, and the textbook is a MUST! She can be easily distracted, don't get her going on the church of the flying spaghetti monster! Opinionated, but fair and offers one heck of a rebuttal! Know your stuff!

Comment:

I really have nothing but good things to say about Prof. Adams. No homework or quizzes, just a few papers, and test. She puts the terms you need to know for test on the board, and talks about them. This class is not an easy "A" but getting a "B" is very reasonable. She'll round up a 78%/88% to a "B" or "A" if you just moderately participate.

Comment:

Dr. Adams knows her subject well, but she's not so great at teaching it. Her lecture style is disorganized, and I found it hard to take notes. The tests weren't so bad if you take notes as best as possible and actually study. The textbook was pretty useless. She's not the greatest teacher I've ever had, but her class was manageable enough.

awful teacher. hope you dont have to be absent from class for anything because she will not execuse it. Her tests are hard and reading the book dosnt help you at all during exams. if you are a poly sci major then avoid taking her at all costs.

I hated this class. She doesn't use the book, if you use it to study you will fail. Expects you to listen to her lecture and on the test remember what she said, if not you will fail.

Comment:

She gets distracted easily, but obviously knows where everyone tends to be in the class. She'll give extensions when needed and help when wanted. She's just really smart and sometimes awkward so it's hard for her to articulate somethings, but she's an amazing professor.
