EDF in class was tough - she's rigid in structure and absolutely unforgiving about turn-in times, but she grades easy and fairly. EME online is sooooo easy. The directions are very clear - just follow them and turn assignments in on time and you can't go wrong! She's always available via email and quite timely. Much easier online than in class!

Great Teacher!!! Very organized!!! I learned a lot!!

I took this class online. Ms. McAfee is a stickler for detail and has strict deadlines, but I never once had a single problem with her. She grades a little hard, but fair. The assignments aren't that bad and I learned a lot. You show up for class twice the whole semester, that's it. If you're a procrastinator you will not do well in this class.

She gives a lot of work and her tests are really hard, but if you turn everything in and study then the class is easy. I got an A in here because she was always there to help me when I needed it.

If you're prepared to be a teacher, you can easily handle her class. She gives a lot of work and has high expectations for her students, but if you complete your assignments you will definitely do well in her class.I took EDF live and EME online, the online class was slightly more work but I enjoyed both. She is by far my favorite teacher at HCC.

All in all, it was a easy class. She practically spells everything out for you, and all there is left to do is do the assignments. She's very helpful whenever there are questions. Great professor!

If you can't turn stuff in on time, are easily overwhelmed by multiple assignments and aren't prepared to put effort into the class don't bother. That said she is an excellent instructor and you will learn quite a bit about the realities of teaching. Not very personable, but her goal is getting students ready for teaching, not being a friend.

Easy class, just follow the syllabus. Weekly assignments are due every Sunday.I took it online. You can easily work ahead and have the semester done way before you have to.

I took her for cgs1000 last semester, and again for Intro to Ed. So I must say that she is an awesome teacher. She doesn't baby you, she practically spells everything out for you. She does assign a lot of work, but hey, you have to deal with it sooner or later.

She is very arrogant and not a people's person, but she does help you prepare for the teacher field. she does give a lot of work and test are timed and online(evrything through webct) so if you are a perosn that cant handle things like this-this is not for you. i am standing at a B right now, we'll c what I get at the end of the semester.

Very helpful

She is very blunt and to the point...doesn't have any mercy on you if you don't do things the way she wants them done. I wouldn't recommend taking this course unless you have a LOT of time on your hands, like being on the computer EVERY DAY, and are extremely detail oriented and can follow every little instruction. You'll do fine if you can do that

She's really strict and to the point, but if you have a question, she'll answer it fairly quickly (I took her online class). Its a lot of work, but that should be expected being that your in college. I got an A in her class, all you have to do is follow her instructions and she gives plenty of extra credit.

I have graduated now, and I have to say by far this was my FAVORITE teacher. I liked her so much I took her for EME 2040, CGS 1000, and EDF 1005. She is SO helpful. Just ask her, nicely! She even signed me into one of her classes. Just do your work and follow the guidelines, not rocket science here. You will learn a lot! -K.A.B.

She tries to intimidate you a little in her first class. But, stick with it! She is an awesome teacher!! The classwork isnt nearly as much as you think it will be. I got a job because of all the knowledge I learned in this course. Remember your in college, this isn't high school anymore. Do your work, follow the guidelines, you'll be fine.

great teacher. The work seems really hard at first sight but once you start taking it its a piece of cake. She is very helpful and responds to emails quickly. The best teacher I've had at H.C.C

VERY particular! Everything must be EXACTLY how she wants it. As a result, you end up focusing more on the details instead of focusing on learning. But if you do exactly what she tells you to do, it's an easy class. A ton of projects, but they are pretty easy with step-by-step instructions. Midterm and final easy if you study what she tells you to.

very easy to understand

she seems like the professor that can intimidate you at any time.. but reality is,,, easy going and simple.. cool teacher to speak with at any time... easy class

Has strict rules; but they are all spelled out. Just follow the directions and you will learn along the way. Helpful through e-mail.

Knows her stuff and has many connections. Teaches valuable information and keeps class entertaining. Only downfall is she treats class, even adult members, like her middle school classes which gets irritating. Other than that great teacher!

instructions are crystal clear. very particular. funny. sarcastic. A LOT of work but mostly easy assignments. recommend!!

Follow your syllabus and you will have no problems. If computers were my area of interest. I would take any of her classes.

I took this class online. There is a required orientation given on campus. She goes over everything in detail. The syllabus explains her "RULES", the due dates, assignments, grading scale in detail. She is very clear to tell you she has been teaching for a long time, has many rules and there are "no exceptions to her rules" you Better Believe it!

I wish I had her for all my classes. She tells you what she expects from day one and it's up to you to do it. If you have questions she will help you and make sure you understand the assignment. I took her for both my education classes and wish she taught the Diversity class too. Great Professor!

Just finished taking her course on-line. I did not have any problems with the professor. If you have a problem she would prefer to call you (easier than email) to resolve it. She is nice. If you take this course on-line, make sure your PC can use Microsoft Office 2013/365. If you don't have it try a trial version first before taking this course.

Ms. McAfee is very strict. She tells you from the beginning what her expectations are. She goes by her syllabus 100%. Even though she is firm and sometimes even a little harsh, she is a great teacher. Teaching is a passion to her. She has many connections in the school system and always helps. Be respectful, and she will respect you. Great teacher!

McAfee has taught for a long time and therefore has seen it all. She teaches, well, teaching, so there is absolutely nothing you can fool her on. Her rules and instructions are clear and if you don't get them, that's essentially your fault. Her demeanor makes her a bit difficult to approach but she'll help if you ask. Recommended, but watch out.

I took her 6 week summer semester. I was also taking 9 other credits. Her workload is quite a bit. Don't go in with the attitude that this is an intro class if you do the same method as me. Her insane amount of assignments definitely distracted me and ever hurt my other courses. Take caution.

She is fabulous!!!! Best professor thus far! She is easy to listen to and tells great stories to put your career choice into perspective!

Ms. McAfee is a great professor! Though she is tough, most of the assignments are pretty easy and just time consuming. She really gets into details about what it's really like being a teacher. I would recommend her to everyone who wants to consider becoming a teacher.

a lot of work

Professor McAfee is AMAZING. She gives great insight into the teaching profession, and tells inspiring stories. If anything, she's made me want to be a teacher even more than I already did. She doesn't easily give away A's, but her directions on assignments are extremely clear so you know exactly what she expects. Take her if you can!!

Shes amazing! Just so you know, theres a required 15 hours of observation time in a classroom to pass. I didnt know that until i was there a week. Its hard to get into schools sometimes around your schedule. Have like 10 current event articles to do, 4 papers, and like 14 quizzes (kinda hard). Her stories are amazing. Shes genuine. strict but fair

She has strict policies but outlines everything clearly. Simple - DO YOUR HOMEWORK! She offers to accept one late assignment. She offers multiple extra credit opportunities. She responds to emails very quickly as long as it is not within 24 hours of assignment due date. Mandatory in-person orientation even for online students.

I took the 6 week course over the Summer. Prof. McAfee had a mandatory on campus orientation where she very clearly explained everything we needed to know to pass this class. However, getting the work done on time and keeping up with family and a FT job was a challenge. She does offer one Extra Credit assignment. Would take her class again!

Becky is an amazing professor and is always there to reply back to our messages. She is so generous and she genuinely cares. She even has MOLA which is my one late assignment.

Online class is very student-centered, and feedback is given after the due date for the assignment. Students who submit all assignments before their due dates will almost certainly get an A in this class. Projects are very simple and are graded exactly as the rubrics say. Two or three extra credit assignments are also given.

Great professor! Took this course online and it's very organized. She opened up the whole course so you can work at your own pace. Everything is easy to follow and when you need help she will give that to you just be sure to read that syllabus! Everything you need to know is on there and she makes that very clear! I do highly recommend taking this.

I feel these reviews have been unfair. Simply put you attend the mandatory orientation and do the homework you get an A. If you are looking for a professor to baby you and cut you some slack, she is not the one; however, for a course this easy slack should not even be necessary. Just wouldn't take in the summer; while simple there is a lot of work.

I took the 8-week online course. All of the assignments were posted ahead of time, which allowed me to quickly complete everything. Most of the assignments are through an online program but she gives you unlimited attempts so it is really easy. All her tests and quizzes are multiple choice. She has one 50 point extra credit assignment.

This professor was amazing . Great class and very helpful .

People complain about Ms. McAfee but her class is relatively easy as long as you do your work. You pretty much take the class at your own pace. She has assignments due every Wednesday and Saturday. The final exam is open-book as well so her class is relatively easy.

She's great but get ready to do a lot of homework and read to keep up with your desired grade.

I took this class over the summer and it was a lot of work but there are so many assignments so if you miss one, it's not the end of the world. She is very clear about deadlines and what she expects, and responds to emails very quickly as long as its not within 24 hours of the due date. I would recommend her.

Some complain about the first syllabus quiz bc you have to get a 100 but all the answers are there, it just takes time. I went into this course thinking I knew basically it all but it proved otherwise. You will learn a lot from this class, you just gotta work for it. Her grading criteria is super spelled out. Overall, I would recommend.

I think it was a blessing to have her as my Professor. When I had issues with the class, she was very open to helping me out and was very kind and respectful along the way. Even as I sat in a Zoom call with her having a breakdown, she was understanding and loving. You can do the homework as many times as you want to get a 100 and quizzes not hard.

Organized, grades quickly clear feedback.

Honestly this was the easiest class I've taken so far. Some people are writing that there is “so much work” and “so much reading”. But honestly you don't have to read. The assignments are interactive making it easier to remember. She could be a little more clear on some stuff but she wants you to be creative. She offers extra credit. It was easy.

A lot of work, but that comes with this course. You have one free card for a late assignment. I'm sure this class is not easy if you don't have some sort of background with technology, but especially on the Microsoft programs, the assignments she gives have pretty good explanations and there are YouTube videos for pretty much all of this.
