This class is easy if you do the reading. Ms. Strimling is very helpful and is more focused on students understanding than grades. Papers are not hard.
Took her for ECE 400 and 314. Amy is sweet, funny, passionate. Assignments were easy, class was mellow, tests were super easy, and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Ms. Strimling's class is full of discussions. She is very nice and the class is pretty easy. Sometimes it was annoying how much she got off-topic, though.
I loved the disscussions in her class and as long as you took notes and went to class you could easily pass. She gave open note tests and quizes. And uses the blackboard.com grading system and gave example papers for you to reference. At worst she skipped around on her lecture slides sometimes and only got behind on material by a day or so.
She is a good teacher. She gives open book and open note tests. She does tell you her opinion about certain things, which could be bad and good. She is very clear. I would take her again!
Amazing teacher.Take her.She is young and hip.Class discussions were always interesting.Open note/book tests a definate plus!More emphasis is put on you understanding and listening to peoples views versus memorizing concepts.I wish she taught all subjects!
This is an easy class. Open book/note tests. She teaches the information well and makes the class easy to follow. She is also a fun woman with passion about this subject. Her class was a pleasure to take.
very nice and great teacher. she knows what she is talking about and it makes it easy to follow.
Amy is a great professor. Very passionate, fun caring and very understanding. open/book tests and quizzes. explains everything throughly, learn alot from the class. interseting lectures, everything is one power point.
This was by far the best class I have ever taken. She was a great teacher and really connected with the students on a personal level. She is younger so she knows a lot about what it going on in our lives. Take her...she is great!!!!!!! and all her notes are on blackboard and the final is open note open book...kinda hard not to get an A.
She's a great teacher and really knows her material, is straight forward, easy only if you do the work and willing to help out
Amy is the best teacher I've ever had in college. She likes and repects everyone, and you don't get much homework from her classes. Easy and fun.
omg. dis teacher is hella easy.if i can pass her class with an "A grade.lol.u can too.if everybody in her class passed.how easy she can be. just do ur assignments and u will b fine.you dont even need a note.she's hot too i guess and still single.lol
She always says, "Most of you who walk out of this class are 90% more ready to be parents and take care of children than the average adult." This sentence really motivates me to be there every time. She has such a great strategy of teaching and quizzes are all open book, and open notes. Plus, lots of FUN extra credit opportunities. Take her!!!!!!!!
She is a great teacher.She knows how to teach.Open book and open notes Quizzes and Exams Easy papers!!!Friendly also~~Her class is a must take class!!! Also teaches FCS!
She has amazing knowledge in early childhood education and some wonderful debate topics.
Amy is a wonderful teacher. She's very approachable and helpful. Willing to answer all questions. Lectures are intresting and all on blackboard so you don't have to take notes. Attendance is somewhat mandatory since she has you sign in each day. No Midterms, 1 final exam worth 55 points,1 research paper, and 4 quizzes total.
Amy is very available to her students. Tests are open note/open book. Lots of extra credit opportunities available. Attendance is not mandatory, but you do get participation points for speaking in class encouraging informal discussion in class and raising more opportunities for learning.
shes awesome
OMG ONE OF THE MOST BEST TEACHERS IN THIS FEILD. SO UNDERSTANDING AND SHE MAKES CLASS VERY FUN IF YOU PARTICIPATE. LECTURES CAN SOMETIMES BE BORING, BUT TAKE HER FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. YOU WONT REGRET IT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEACHER.
I agree with the past comments to this day. Enough has been said about Amy. She's GREAT!
She loves her job, and is an OK teacher but sounds like a twelve year old and is really hard to take seriously. She obviously hates men, and always has some snide remark every time she gets the opportunity toward men in general. Glad I dropped the class I could learn more on my own just from reading the book.
Easy class, and easy teacher. Open book & open notes on all of her test/exams. No weekly homework. All you had to do was turn in your observations. She made a lot of sense and answered ALL questions, even the stupid ones. I'm going to take another class taught by her. Great teacher.
I was in two of her classes she was helpful, encouraging, and just awesome.
GREAT TEACHER. I WOULD TAKE HER CLASS AGAIN. SHE IS ENCOURAGING AND REALLY INTO WHAT SHE IS TEACHING. QUIZZES ARE EASY, OPEN BOOK, OPEN NOTES AND ONLINE. FINAL IS A QUIZ FOR END CHAPTERS.OPEN NOTES AND BOOK AS WELL. INTERESTING CLASS
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, her! She's so helpful and treats us all equally as adults, which is quite hard to find in a professor. She's so knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches, and is really funny too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, her! She's so helpful and treats us all equally as adults, which is quite hard to find in a professor. She doesn't give out a bunch of busy work, just a few short essays and one 5 page paper at the end of the sem. She's so knowledgeable and passionate about what she teaches, and is really funny too! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
If you're someone who doesn't need regular busy work to learn a subject, she's a good professor for you. There's no homework, just three observation papers and one child study paper. The assignment is a little unclear in expectations so make sure to ask questions - she wants you to specifically reference material. The quizzes are easy if you study.
she is a really good teacher and she makes sure you get everything and we have class disscuns
Shes AMAZING! i took her for ECE312 &ECE 314, as long as you take good notes you'll ace the tests, shes outging and very helpful! If you looking to learn in a fun and frindly environment take Amy!
AWESOME teacher... she's passionate about her field and that comes across in her classes. I've had a couple classes with her (312 & 400) and she's very clear with what she expects us to learn. Her classes are always full of discussions... they're really fun. Bottom line: I highly recommend her.
AWESOME CLASS! She is very passionate about teaching, and knows what she is talking about. There is no homework, just three child studies which are extremely easy, and one paper. On top of that she gives open book, open note quizzes (only 3). Couldn't ask for an easier and more interesting class.
Such an easy teacher and easy class. 5 online quizzes, 3 short paper, and 1 big project but all of it is extremely easy. One final exam open book and notes on the last chapters! Attendance is mandatory to some extend but she wont drop if you miss about 4 days. Extremly easy to get an A!!! Just make sure you do the quizzes and work on time.
Awesome class. All Power Point, and intensive note taking, but you can also print out the notes directly. One major project, no homework, and open note quiz's. I highly recommend.
Open notes quiz and easy projects. No trick questions on the quiz and easy if you take notes in class. Didn't need to book at all because she covers almost everything you need to know on the quiz. Always have interesting stories to share in class.
I don't go to class except for thee test days a,d when I have to turn in an assignment. Her class is very VERY easy if you have taken any previous ECE classes
Follows her syllabus unless its changes. the quizzes were online and turn in 3 one page essay paper and then a 6 page essay paper at the end. final is open notes, open book. she is very good in interacting with the class and making sure you understand the material, i would recommend her to anyone. in addition, she has funny stories that she shares
She is remarkable. She loves what she does and makes it easier for the people who can't afford textbooks. She is very helpful and funny. Everything is opened notes including the final and exams. She doesn't get fussy if you miss a couple of her courses and her essays are precise, crystal clear and more fun then others. Attening ECE 314 for sure!
Good teacher, clear on information and passionate. She uses examples to help get info through to students. I felt like there were a lot of writing in this class, but I hate writing so.. yeah. Overall, good teacher. Wish she didn't give us that final exam paper though. Final is open book/notes though so that was cool!
CLASS IS INTERESTING. TESTS AREN'T THAT HARD. QUIZZES ARE ONLINE, AND SHE GIVES YOU A WEEK TO DO THEM. CLASS TOPICS ARE INTERESTING AND FUNNY. YOU DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE, AND NOT LIKE AN EXCLUSION. I RECOMMEND TAKING HER FOR ANY PSYCHOLOGY OR CDC COURSES.
The best teacher out of everyone I have taken! She is so helpful and gives you hands on information. Hear classes are very interesting and knowledgeable. She does not give a grade, you have to earn it, she can be a harsh grader sometimes, but overall, I learned a lot from her and enjoyed her classes. I would recommend her to my friends.
Speaks in monotone, lectures are boring, basically reading from powerpoint. Test are straightforward, no trick questions.
Very knowledgable and fun teacher for the summer. Easy going. Open book open notes can't get any better.
One of my very favorite professors at Sac City. She makes the material interesting, and fun to learn.
Easy A, however you learn A LOT!
AN AMAZING PROFESSOR, GOT ME INTERESTED IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT. EASY OPEN NOTE OPEN BOOK TEST AS WELL AS FINAL, EASY A JUST DO ALL YOU ESSAYS. OH AND NO HOMEWORK
She's a great teacher, I've taken almost all of her classes and every class she teaches is the same. Casual, open book/open note tests and just all around fun informative class. Do your work and you will definitely get an A and you will enjoy the class. Love her!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Ms. Strimling! She is so passionate about what she teaches and you can really tell that she loves what she does :) You will learn SOOO much from her classes! OPEN book, OPEN notes on exams!
She was very helpful. She is super nice. Some of the tests were open note. I never even read the book and got an A in the class. There were a few projects but you were given plenty of time to get it done by. I enjoyed the class and found it pretty easy.
2 WORDS....THE BEST!!!
Amy is an amazing teacher, I originally took her ECE Child Develop. course and went back for her Life span class. Extremely helpful, makes material relatable, open book open notes tests. I enjoyed her classes very much and wish that sac city could have more teachers like her. She assigns about 3 papers. amazing course, amazing teacher!!!!
ECE 312 with Amy was amazing. She knows how to pique students' interest with facts about kids. Pretty easy class and easy tests. You won't regret taking ECE 312 with Amy because you'll learn something you never heard about.
Very easy test are open book tip: everything she takes about on the test so take good notes
Amy is great! While her class IS easy (open notes/open book exams), she makes the material really interesting and class entertaining so you still pay attention. One of my favorite classes I've had.
Amy makes attending class so fun, and her teaching style allows for students to easily soak in the information. Class discussions can get a bit off topic but no matter what you will leave the class knowing so much more than you did prior to taking it. Also the projects she assigns are awesome!
Loved her, I have taken 3 of her classes. She is very passionate!
I love her! She's amazing. I really wish she teaches Culture Diversity too.
Awesome professor! Funny, nice, and makes class fun while informative. Very passionate about children.
I really did enjoy her class. It was fast paced, organized and fair. I would recommend her to anyone who has to take a section that she offers.
Powerpoint lecture and open discussion class. She is very clear and specific on what she expects from papers and other homework. Open note and open textbook, convenient but you have to remember time is limited during exams.
she is very friendly and helpful. Very clear on what is going to be on test and quizzes. Take notes and read the book and you will get an A.I love the way she explaopon things. Awesome teacher; highly recommended.
Great teacher, fun class discussions, open book/note in class tests. Really enjoyed her class. She's a talker but she'll let her students add to the discussion.
If you just want to get the damn GE over with, take her online class. 1 Discussion board and unlimited attempt for each chapter quiz. 1 agency report and 1 about me essay. Copy and paste each quiz question and save your wrong or right answers. You'll thank me later.
Take her already!
I've had Amy before & decided to take her again because she's a fun teacher. She explains a lot of the lectures so that there is no misunderstandings. There are times we joke around in class or have really good discussions about child development. Work is fair and gives a lot of opportunities. Highly advise to have input during class about lessons.
Apparently this class hasn't been open for a couple years so professor was a little rusty but she did a great job in going more in depth of children with disabilities. The textbook is necessary to do your homework and for the debate at the end of the semester. It would be good to make some friends because you'll miss a lot of info if you miss class
Honestly one of the easiest professors and classes I have taken at Sac City. Not only was the class easy, the material was interesting, and so were the online activities. My advice to you is to be on top of due dates, and make sure you get every assignment done, and you should be guaranteed an A. Still got an A without touching the text.
I took her class online. We had 2 discussion boards (answer question & reply to other students), 1 assignment, & one quiz every week. There are 4 tests that happen once a month. The writings were interesting & time consuming, but if you do them & try hard, you'll be sure to get an A! She is very helpful & replies to emails quick especially at night
PROF. STRIMLING IS REALLY AWESOME. HER CLASS IS VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND VERY INTERESTING. SHE OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT AND DROPS YOUR LOWEST TEST SCORE. 2 WEEKLY DISCUSSIONS, WEEKLY 10 QUESTION QUIZ, AND 4 EXAMS INCLUDING FINAL. LOVED THE CLASS AND LEARNED A LOT FROM IT. WOULD TAKE AGAIN AND PLANNING TO TAKE ANOTHER FCS OR ECE CLASS WITH HER.
Love love loooooved her children with exceptional needs class. Really goes into depth and encourages class discussions. She plays to the interest of the students talking about what seems to be the most important subjects to us. 3 tests including final and her textbook is crafted by her and full of informational articles that you pick 10 to review.
Interesting class. Caring Professor. Easy A if you do her MANY assignments.
Online class was very fun. Topics were very interesting and engaging, and the writing assignments were fun to write too. There are weekly quizzes and exam; quizzes can be taken multiple times but not exams. It's easy to fall behind because it's an online class so always do your work ahead of time, set up reminders, and always double check.
I really enjoyed this class. I learned a lot.
Must read and do discussion boards every week. As well as a quiz every week. I think there is around 5 tests and the final is optional. If you do the final and get a good grade then one of your bad tests get dropped and replaced. She responds to emails quickly and her grading is fair.
SUPER EASY! easy weekly assignments. easy quizzes(all answers are on quizlet) & you can retake as many times as you need. Weekly DB & 2 replies to other students, also super easy! And I think 3 exams (also all answers on quizlet) I never even went through powerpoint slides, it was that easy! PLZ take her if u can!
Overall, Amy Strimling is an excellent teacher, and her class was pretty straightforward. She has a quiz, assignment, and discussion board weekly in which all are very doable. She has 3 exams and 1 optional exam if you want to drop your lowest score. This is definitely not a hard class, and the teacher is very reasonable!
Amy Strimling is a great teacher and is pretty easy going! She follows her syllabus closely and gives some extra credit. Her class consists of weekly quizzes, discussion boards, and different assignments, 3 exams, and an optional exam if you want to improve grade. There is also 3 Video observation assignments which are worth half of an exam.
Amy is an amazing professor! I've taken every ECE requirement class for my major and she is a professor who truly cares for her students. Her lectures are never boring, passionate about her job. On days where the class is drained, she'll show short videos relating to class to cheer everyone up. Always open for questions and helps after class.
Great teacher, she is very understanding and her lectures are good, also there is a good balance between lectures and discussion.
Loved her. Lectures daily but tried to mix it up. Only thing is that the book is huge and reading WILL help you pass, but tests are open notes so just take good notes in class and from readings and you'll be fine! Very willing to help if you need it
Quizzes, assignments, and discussions are due every week. Everything is really easy. There is a paper called Developmental Autobiography, and make sure to follow the instructions on the outline. She tells you what you should talk about and be detailed. Overall, you guys should take the professor if you need this class.
Wonderful professor! Gives awesome feedback and is a very easy class. She makes the assignments really easy and really helps you learn the material. Would take again.
My first online class ever thought it would be hard but she was really good professor. Makes it to where you can pass if you just do her work. Weekly quizzes, discussions, learning activity but they were all easy if you did them. Extra credit. 1 video analysis paper but it was simple just watch the video. A few test but simple. Recommend online.
Definitely take her online class! 1 discussion, 1 learning activity, and a quiz every week with 3 exams throughout the semester, and 2 video analysis papers (they're easy). Love how organized her class is. Easy A as long as you do all the assignments! She grades very leniently and gives feedback when needed.
Online FCS324 easy! She had you mainly do busy work, 3 papers, that were based on interesting videos. Highly recommended if you need to take this class!
I loved her! You can tell she is definitely very passionate and knowledgeable about what she teaches. She is very respectful and honest and open minded. Great in class conversations. Her teaching style is a lot of powepoints and note taking but she encourages questions and will take the time to explain and talk about anything.
Strimling is a great instructor! She has a very well organized course. This was not a difficult class; just need stay on top of the discussion boards, learning activities, and quizzes each week along with two papers. Provides extra credit opportunities as well. There are 3 exams with one optional comprehensive final to replace lowest test score.
Amy is the SWEETEST! I took an online course with here and was well aware how much she cared about the topic of ECE and the success of her pupils. Book is required to do learning activities, weekly quizzes powerpoint project, and discussions. My first ECE class and am glad to have taken it with her
This was one of the worst classes I have ever taken in my college years. I am not a B or C student. However, this class put me in a lot of trouble. More than 10 hours of study is A must to pass in (B) for an A you have to do more. Had to write 2 papers 25 and 12 page Autobiographies in order to get full credit. She is a TOUGH grader! AVOID HER!!!
Good professor, really good at communicating with class. Best online class set up I've seen. Super organized and not confusing. Make sure you get the book! She offers notes and power points for each chapter which are awesome. Work is manageable
She offers multiple extra credit opportunities and gives feedback on papers. This online course was easy and I will be taking another class taught by Strimling soon! I appreciate her style of teaching. Also, only one 5 page paper is due at the end of the semester and it is very easy to complete if you have been paying attention in class.
Professor Strimling is very open to helping her students if you have any questions feel free to email her to get help. Her tests were simple and you get several opportunities to take them. Discussions are interactive and enlightenting.
I took Professor Strimling's class this past semester, and it was pretty easy and clear-cut. Despite being all online, the assignments were clearly stated and the grading was prompt. I highly recommend this professor - she really knows how to teach.
I absolutely adore this professor. So kind and so genuine. Understanding about extra time needed. Very willing to help you with school and personal.
The powerpoint are long but then she makes videos of herself explaining the work. She also gives us extra videos with the information we read from the powerpoint. But the quizzes are simple and easy.
This class was a 1-credit class but well worth taking. Professor Strimling gives great feedback and offers a good deal of extra credit. I wound up getting As on all assignments and the extra credit as well. Her office hours are very accessible, and the writing assignments are fairly comprehensible, though they do require a bit of critical thinking.
First time taking her and she is amazing! I love all the lectures she taught us
Super fun and entertaining. I literally brought a kitten into her class and she was vibing with it.
She's super nice. The class was pretty easy, with one homework assignment due per week, a couple of tests and bigger assignments due throughout the semester but nothing too hard. She uses class time to go over the chapter but keeps it interesting.
Work is simple and straightforward. Don't really need to read too much to compl hw. Shes super nice and funny in person. Take her class for easy credit.
Strimling is a wonderful professor who loves her job & is so knowledgeable. She really wants you to learn & she helps you learn, by giving great lectures packed w/ fact & easy to understand information. If you put in the work you will do well. If you have LD she will work with your learning style to make sure you understand. She return emails fast
She's the most amazing professor! I loved learning about children, she made every module easy to understand. There wasn't a lot of work and she was super flexible with late work.
She was very caring, had clear lectures, and just overall had a good, interactive class. I only received a B because of my problem with procrastination but you're guaranteed an A as long as you stay on top of things and go to the lectures.
She's a very good professor! Very knowledgeable and passionate about education! Her lectures were always interesting, however, she would sometimes get side tracked. Usually related to course content, and it was always entertaining. She has a few assignments throughout the semester and 3 exams. All reasonable if you show up to lecture. Def take her!
Professor Strimling's class was pretty straightforward. She's a caring, engaging instructor who makes the material easy to understand. Using resources like Unstuckstudy alongside the textbook really helped me stay on top of the work and nail an A.
She really loves her class. She always took care of her students and made sure we were doing the best we can.
