The teacher can be nice but will humiliate the ones that are late an by talking down on them. If your late she answers the door when she feels like it and she can only answer it. You will receive no study guide and while she lectures she will tell you to write things down thy aren't on the test. You will not like this teacher as she does grade hard

Ms. Washington Is hard , but cares and wants her students to learn, she has a lot to offer and is very resourceful if you attend class, take notes and read your book. If you cant pass her class its because you didnt try or didnt ask for assistance. I have taken the majority of my classes with her and I wasnt a Child Development Major until my third class with her when i realized that this was definety the field for me. If you wanna learn take her if you wanna work take her, if you want aneasy A dont take her.

Her strictness may come off as rude. Very direct (your approach will dictate her response, ruderude). Overall, she's a fair grader. The assignments were not demanding and a reasonable amount of time to complete them.

Worst on-line teacher I have ever had and most of my bachelor's degree was online. She does nothing to understand her students. Her grading is ridiculous and she her-self has terrible grammar so good luck trying to understand her emails. She is inconciderate with her class scheduling and not flexible with changing future due dates. STAY AWAY!!!

Dont take her!!!! Disrespectful to her students, who are full time and parents, expecting them to rush them to do assignments that she takes down the next day. CD 104 online was supposed to start February 9, but she opened the class on the 10th. She doesn't explain assignments that are due, harshly critical, grades hard, & has a nasty attitude.

Very rude and inconsistent. Professor Washington is not clear with her assignments and has very poor grammar. Expects things exactly how she wants them or you get a bad grade, but does not clearly explain what she is expecting. Even if you ask for help to better understand she will still not help to clear it up. I was always in class, never late- D

From the beginning I did not get a good feeling about this teacher. She doesnt lecture well, you find yourself searching for notes to write she gives you nothing. Talks a lot of racial content, bad attitude, rude and disrespectful to students, not helpful. Had no idea of grade because she never shared grades. Just wasted a whole semester. TERRIBLE

RUN! Worst ever. We had 3 quizzes and a Final exam all in a weeks period due to her error. She is rude, unapproachable, not engaged. On the final there were multiple choice answers that did not pertain to the question, she did not adjust scores. Seems like she sets you up for failure. I am an all A student and this is the only C.

she is not specific when giving assignments after you complete it she grades you down and lets you know what she doesn't want. For example, when replying to an argument she doesn't want to hear from the first person, she could have written it down in the description so points wouldn't be knocked out. she does this with all assignments.
