One of the most difficult online professors I have had! Her exams are almost impossible, no matter how hard you study. If you ask for help she tells you to simply spend more time studying. Halfway through the course she removed the forum for classmates to converse with each other. I would not recommend taking her course online if at all possible.

Took this class online in a session A. She's very clear on what she wants you to do, sends out reminders each week on what is expected for that week, and the quizzes are multiple choice and T/F. Quizzes are on the class notes and readings. Overall easy class and great teacher.

I found this class to be incredibly insightful. It was a seven week, online class, so we were reading two chapters a week. With the PPs provided, it made the quizzes (two a week, also) doable. The book that we wrote a paper on at the end was an entertaining and humorous memoir. Easy 'A' as long as you try to do well. Provides good feedback.

She locks the units until that week, so you can't work ahead.. first impression left a lot to be desired, too; comes off very confrontational, threatening to remove hallway conversations if she doesn't like what was posted. promised a study guide if we were "good", which is apparently a half page doc with the bolded vocal words from the chapters.

Her failure to communicate, or at least acknowledge communication, to emails is extremely frustrating and disrespectful. She was unclear on an assignment and docked major points.

I lost points for "awkward" sentences. I got a D on one assignment because, while I addressed every topic thoroughly, I "didn't give enough detail" Assignments are vaguely worded and completely subjective. Only 275 points in the course so one wrong move and you will lose 3-5% of your overall grade. Don't waste your GPA like I did.

This class is a requirement for CRJ majors, and I now wish I had a better professor for this class. She is not clear on assignments, they can be confusing, her lectures are short and quick, on pod cast. She takes points off for every tiny detail in discussions and exercises, watch your grammar and punctuation. Powerpoints are not real clear.

Professor Lindsay is very kind and gives considerate feedback BUT takes ages to grade papers. There are three papers total and two exams. The first paper was not graded until after the second paper's due date. Then the final paper that determined our final grade was graded beyond the final grade deadline for the University. Stressful.

She is a more quiet teacher but she cares about her students. She has weekly quizzes but they aren't hard at all and throughout the semester you work on a research proposal of your choice and she helps you along with it. You turn in sections every few weeks and she gives you feedback on them. I would take her again!

This was my favorite class this semester! The textbook was an easy and quick read, and was very interesting. She doesnt waste your time with lecture videos and the modules are clearly laid out. Each module last 3 weeks and has a DB, essay and an essay exam but you can work ahead. I loved this set-up as it allows you to rehearse the materials.

No clear instructions. Expects you to read her mind and know exactly what she's looking for. DB's were "open discussion" but you were marked down if you didn't include everything she wanted you to include even tho she doesn't tell you what she wants you to include. Harsh grader with horrible contradicting feedback and sometimes no feedback at all.

Not clear on what she wants from you for assignments. You can ask her and she will clarify but I don't think you should have to do that to be able to complete the work like she wants. Have to complete 5 papers but they are all connected and the last one is basically the other 4 put together. A few quizzes, a midterm, and a cumulative final.

Avoid if you can. Very, very slow at grading. Rubric was not clear (wanted sources on DB's, but that was written nowhere). When you're in a 6-week online class, knowing how you did on an assignment ASAP is super important. Grades were not posted for 3-4 weeks after due date. Didn't watch a single lecture and only read the textbook. Got an A.
