Like all other teachers, she has a unique style. The tests are HARD! The exams are online, and they are word problems in multiple choice organization. Her only downfall that I can figure is that she will tell you that your work is correct before it is turned in, but she will mark it wrong when you get it back. This unorthodox aspect is bad um-k.

Her tests are based on obscure material in the corners of the textbook that she does not cover. You'd be better off changing your major and taking this class somewhere else, anywhere else.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She is disorganized and gets off topic all the time. Her "lessons" had zero relevance to the quizzes. Quizzes where opinionated and answers rarely can be found in the book. I managed to get an B because of attendance and extra credit. If education is a field you are seriously considering do not take her class.

AWFUL professor. Seriously disorganized and not at all helpful. Don't ask for explanations, they wont come on time and you wont understand them. She can be very rude to her students also. Grading is obnoxious, fill out all forms and assignments completely, even the things that are obvious and not needed.

She is passionate about teaching but goes off on tangets. I failed all threCANVAS quizzes and still got an A. So as long as you participate and go well on group projects sges really not bad at all. Shes pretty fun and quirky.

She can get a bit off topic, but she obviously cares about what she's teaching. She's a fun teacher, you just have to have a little patience. If you need help, don't be afraid to ask.

Cathy is a nice teacher. She is willing to help you but sometimes has a snarky remark with it. Her quizzes and tests are hard, multiple choice but TOUGH. Several group projects that can be very time consuming. Don't take this class with other classes you think will be hard or time consuming. I have taken her twice bc she was the only available one

There was a decent amount of work but work was never the problem. She takes her own sweet time grading and replying to emails. I wouldn't take her online EDF class. Due to her untimely email responses I got extremely behind and confused with many of her assignments and directions, and am burned out on online classes now.

Her quizzes and tests are difficult because the it seems like there can be multiple answers, but of course she'll just pick the one she thinks is right. It's like she makes them vague on purpose. Her lectures are okay. Nothing outstanding. At least she's kinda nice, I guess.

WORST PROF. EVER! Pretty ionic when she's teaching about how to teach. Very unclear expectations for assignments then grades very harshly. Quizzes are so vague and based on her opinion on which answer she thinks is the most correct. Our class was doing so poorly she had to change assignments. Took 1105 on campus and she was the same. BEWARE!!!!!!!!

No matter what you do, nothing is ever good enough for her. if you have a question you best ask someone besides her because she is absolutely no help. Worst professor i have ever had since i started college 3 years ago!

Amazing on answering any questions about anything with the course. She is super helpful and organized and it is exactly what I would want from an online class. I would definitely recommend. Extremely quick on answering emails.

I love this teacher as a person but as a teacher she needs work. The work she gives is soooo confusing. She grades it and gives you feedback that could be anything from a big problem to a small problem like where you put your name. Canvas due dates differ from syllabus but apparently the syllabus is the accurate oneeven though u submit it in canvas

The professor will respond to your emails promptly. Her class organizational skills are severely lacking structure. I took this class as an online class, and found it confusing. There are assignments not in sequential order; therefore, if I was not paying attention I would have turned it in late. Will help you if you do not understand her direction

Takes forever to grade assignments and give feedback. Is very scatterbrained and is hard to keep her on track. If you want to really learn from this course take another professor

Her assignments are so confusing and she is incredibly hard to learn from. She doesn't go over topics, she expects us to do much more outside of class without telling us or giving us instructions as to what that could be. It's not encouraging when a teacher who's meant to be teaching future teachers can't communicate effectively.

Lots of homework
