Majority of class time is discussion. Very knowledgeable professor.
A++++ for her! It's hard NOT to do well in this class.
Best teacher I ever had. Very knowledgable and helpful.
This easy rating is too high. She's ez, but you read 6 books instead of 3
definitely not easy, hard to get good grade, weird grading system, no a-, b+ ect
Very good prof would recommend her to anyone! I am taking her again for lib 314!
awesome prof. - i've had her twice now...a lot of reading and writing
i really enjoyed her and learned a ton!
watch out- she'll get you excited about Liberal Education
Be ready to read, she even quizes you about the authors, alot of group work too!
She is nice but the class is a bunch of wacko liberal politics

if you read the books you will pass the class, she is a great prof!!!!
Would take any class she taught, you learn TONS!
By far one of the best profs ever!! Participate in class! Read! Get to know her
Good prof, I enjoyed the class, easy to talk to and very willing to help
Take this course!! No joke, trust me.. Drewel is the best prof i've ever had
You MUST have her as a prof. Simply the best! You'll find out why you came to GV
She's the best prof I've ever had...her class totally affected me! :)
Great Prof.
She is fabulous, best teacher I ever had!
very nice, great class, learn alot about yourself, lots of reading!!!
she's great. a lot of work, but fun.. you get to know your classmates
very cool, do the reading and you will do well, very helpful.
Best class I've taken. You will work hard, but it's worth it.
Best prof I've had! Can tell she cares about her work
Makes you want to learn. Great prof. One of the best courses/profs at GVSU.
She's got far-left views that interview with giving a really liberal education (i.e., different points of view). The book is just WEIRD.
I think Chris is a great teacher. She engages the class and encourages students to voice their opinions.
nice and very friendly-willing to help. class is discussion based.
Very good teacher, very friendly. Lots of reading and thinking and a presentation or two but great experience overall.

She goes over quite a bit of readings but you can get away with not reading most of them. She is very nice and makes you feel important. She actually cares about your opinion and would bend over backwards for her students. Nobody's half as good as her.
What's lib ed? It may be confusing at first, but throughout the course, you will appriciate the reason you're taking the class. She listens to all opinions and makes you feel welcome to voice any concerns/comments/questions you may have. She's the
Created thought among all students. Very thought provoking. Very personal. Get to know her. She is very down to earth. She is very flexible with time demands.
easy class but kind of weird and pointless
weird and pointless class, but she is a easy teacher. She does have strong veiws.
not a blow-off class or an easy A. she makes you work for 100 level. very approachable, nice, thought-provoking class, cares about students and subject. wonderful just to sit and talk with her, she's very down-to-earth. great lady!!!!!
She is the hottest thing that walks the planet. This love goddess will delight you with her wonderful charm and charisma. I live for the days I can walk into her Lib 100 class.
Really glad I took her class. Gives you a new perspective. She is an awesome lady, very nice, willing to talk or help anytime. Responds quickly to e-mails and is extremly approachable. Great class to take for freshman or anyone for that matter!
very helpful professor. Lots of reading but discussions are worth while. Best professor at GVSU.The books really help you look at your life. If you want to learn more about yourself and others TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
This lady is super nice...she is always smiling..and always happy even at 830 in the morning. She is always willing to help..Just go to class and read the info and you will get an A.
Fairly easy class. There is a lot of work, but non of it is hard. Her class is very good and well worth taking. Do not take if you do not want to read or attend class becuase that will not work. Ask to use notes on her exams and she may let you.
She is one of the best professors I have had. This class has alot of work to do-and her grading can be a bit tough-but she is very fair. I definitly recommend taking her!
Attendance counted for too much of the class. Easy tests, assignments. Class overall is a philosophical nightmare and its structure is unrealistic to life.
She makes class interesting with having discussions about topics that involve lib education. This class is kind of dumb though because all you read and learn about is what a liberal education is and how you obtain it. So, I would recommend another class.
Has very liberal views, so if you are a conservative keep your mouth shut. She's nice, but needs to do something with the hair.
Fantastic
:) :) :)
Take her!!! Do the reading=do well on quiz. Most exam questions are opinionated, but again-do the reading. She gives a lot of help/feedback with papers. grades are fair.
GREAT PROF!!
Great Prof....her class is somewhat fun and interesting.. You will learn a lot from the books read in the class.. She seems to be an easy grader
Take her if you want to learn about yourself and others.She is a great prof and genuinely cares abouther students.Love the books. After taking this class, you'll have a whole new perspective on life:)Everyone shoul experience the DREWEL!!!!!
DON'T procrastinate on the papers. she will correct them for you before the due date which helps a lot. DO the reading or you won't do so well.
I can't stress this enough--don't miss class. Attendance counts for a lot. Good class though, fun & interesting.
Good class, nice teacher. Easy class if you do your work. Make sure you come to class.
Very very nice person. Was respectful of students, but I agree that is you have conservative views, leave them at the door. Liberal to the max!
I didn't even know what this class was about but you learn a lot from it. Make sure you read and attend class!! Lots of class dicussion and a couple of presentations - so be prepared. She's very helpful, flexible, and understanding - awesome professor!!!
EASY prof!!! she is so cool, really down to earth. the exams are easy a lot of it is opinion based. just go to class read and you'll do great!..shes very flexible with the online quizzes and everything else. if you take lib take drewel!!!
Pretty easy class. Not much more to say.
Interesting class. Great professor. Very nice and down to earth. You can easily do well in the class as long as you do the readings and do well on the quizs. Midterm and Final piece of cake. There are 2 presentations and a paper. Fun class...
Good teacher! Take her over Maodush-Pitzer!!!
she loves religion and football... not exactly in that order, which are two things that I hate so I didn't think I would like her. But I did. She's great.
The class can be boring but its very easy and she is a fun teacher. Make sure you read though or else you cant do very well.
Awesome, Funny, easy to get along with
omg, prof. d. is an AWESOME prof! she makes you actually think about things instead of just feeding them to you in the form of the banking concept (take the class, youll know what i mean). very sweet, hilarious person with a great attitude and outlook on life. take her for a new view on life!
The class will be easy if you do all the readings and take advantage of the extra credit. She's very fair in grading and is willing to help you out with anything. I would take her if you want an easy A.
The class just seems to have the same information over and over again. Almost anyone could teach that class, but Drewel is a really fun lady who makes it bearable to have to sit through. Takes attendance, and there is online quizzes, but definately awesome professor.
Chris is a nice lady and is very interested in her students' thoughts on the class material. There is a lot of work, but if you attend class and do the reading and assignments you will be fine.
My favorite prof in my 6 years at GVSU. Chris was so nice and even though it was an 8am spring class she kept us awake and interested. Her assignments were fair and the books were good, and she was always more than helpful. The projects were cool too because she got us informed on some issues that aren't talked about much. Great prof, great class
Christine Drewel is the best teacher I have had in my college career (4 years!) and I am going into Music! She is so good at what she does! Take her. Very helpful, and clear. Show up for class, read, and you will do well.
Christine is the best teacher I have ever had. She helped me decide what I want to do with my life. She is a passionate person and it really shines through when she teaches. I highly reccomend her!
Best Prof ever! I loved this class, her grading was pretty easy exams were super easy as long as you read. The books we read were very intersting and class disscusions were fun
One of the best prof. I've ever had. She is a great person and a fair prof. She was always more than willing to help out with school or personal problems. Take her!!!
Class was very easy. She made the class as fun as it could possibly be. Online quizzes were easy, the test were easy too. I think she is a great prof. and if you have to take this class, definitly take her.
A very refreshing class and professor
CD was an awesome Prof! I'm very thankful that I had her instead of any of the other Lib 100 professors! Everything was very straight forward.. you knew everything and she very often gave hints about the quizes and exams. There were no surprises in this class... she's a good lady!
Chris was a great teacher. She made the class easy and fun. I enjoyed coming in. The work is easy, but necessary to do to get a good grade.
Good prof, easy class. Had to read 5 books which I was not used to, however most of them were easy reads. 2 papers and 2 exams plus a group presentation. Not too much work. Just had to take online quizes over the readings. Not too hard of a class, and a very good prof.
Great Prof. She is very understanding and flexible. Mid-term & final are VERY easy. Very interesting discussions. I would highly recommend her to anyone for LIB classes.
Best professor I've had so far! Chris is a wonderful teacher. She is smart, funny, and gets along well with all the students. She was never in a bad mood and I always enjoyed being in her class. Class is moderately difficult, with readings, a paper, and co-curriculars to attend. If you take LIB 100, take professor Drewel!! :)
Chris is soooooo nice and helpful. Shes very understanding and always willing to help. He grading is fairly easy and the final is easy. Highly recommended for LIB, she makes the class fun and interesting.
Worse professor I have had in GVSU so far. Read the book. That is the only strength of this class and her contribution is zero. She uses those stupid teacher’s aids activities that aren’t suitable for even high school kids. In general class is very boring. I wonder why they call her funny, maybe because she makes silly faces. Don’t recommend her at
Great teacher! You are very lucky is you get Drewel for your class. However, an A is something you have to work for. She is very willing to help you if you have a problem. Very approachable.
Christine is a WONDERFUL professor. I just took her class this summer. The pace of the class is really fast in the summer, but she is very understanding and flexible. She also is very approachable and helpful when you need it. She has an awesome sense of humor and a pretty lady as well.
She is totally cool. I got along with her very well
She is a great professor! The class is a lot of work, but she is always willing to help. I definitely recommend taking LIB 100 with her, because she opened my eyes to a lot of new things.
WONDERFUL. Chris is very helpful and connects well with her students. It is an easy A/B!!
Christine is a great professor! I love her, I'm going to take her LIB 314 class. She is very helpful too, she explain things very clearly and try to connect the subject that we talked about to our lives. The whole class will always contributes into the discussion. She is great! Take her class!
Very nice and extremely friendly!! Easy gen. ed. to get out of the way!
She's is awesome. I love going to her class, you never know what you're going to get out of it, and it's always fun. She's really cool and friendly, and always puts the student first. I recommend her all the way.
FANTASTIC teacher. You will learn so much from her. Awesome teacher. There is some demand on reading assignments but they are worth it.
Chris is a wonderful professor with so much energy. The best people to work with are those who are enthusiastic about what they do, and you would be hard put to find a person more enthusiastic about their career than Chris is about teaching. Highly recommended.
Definitely the BEST prof. I've had at GV so far. I'm planning to take LIB 314 with her as well. She is everything that makes up a wonderful instructor. Take a class with Christine!
8 years later and I still remember her class. It was one of those, "Huh, I never thought of it that way" eye opening classes. I still am thankful I had her for this class all this time later.
CHris was definitely the best teacher I have ever had. She made the class into something we could teach ourselves with only her guidance, and she gives so much more perspective into life, not just the course.I learned so much about myself. She's amazing, and the class is too. Don't let the work scare you, it's not that bad and worth it!!
Overall I was pleased. One thing that future students should look for is her grading scale. I realized at the very end of the semester that the grading scale did not make sense.You will learn a lot from the class, though! Online quizzes are pretty much everything so do your best. She takes off points on nonsense stuff. Good Luck!
Amazing teacher. You get out what you put into the class. She has so much passion for her job; it makes the class a joy to go to. Discussions are surprisingly interesting and engaging. She makes you open your eyes to a lot of tough questions. Don't let all the work build up though!
I absolutely loved this professor. I had her for an 8 am class and she made me want to come! I learned so much from this lady definitely take her for any liberal studies course. You have to read 5 books but they are interesting and not bad at all. Online quizzes throughout. Two essays but she grades pretty easy and fair. Loved loved loved her!
TAKE DREWELLL! Seriously, she is awesome. Such a fun teacher and honestly cares about her students liking the class. Only one exam, which is very easy. Online quizzes are also very easy if you read the stories. I would recommend her to anyone. Do what you can to take her. Easy A in the class
Best teacher i've ever had. This class was awesome. Do what ever you can to take her. Her/lib 100 changed my view on life!!!
A lot of work, but not impossible, I received an A in a 6 week course. Put forth the effort, Drewel is connected, engaging, and available every step of the way. I'm 43, with dyslexia and ADHD. If I can do this, you can too. Drewel, and the essays, Jumping Mouse and Allegory of the Cave changed my life forever. She is lovely, I will take her again.
One of the best classes and profs I have had. A lot of work but if you apply yourself your guaranteed a good grade. I actually view life a different way after this class and taking what she has to offer. Classes are interesting and the final is nothing to worry about! TAKE HER!
Greatest professor I have ever had. She is very a very intelligent, funny, has a great personality and leaves you feeling inspired. AWESOME PROF.
She is very good! I recommend her any day. She is very fun and energetic and has a great way of looking at things, easy to talk to and is truly there to better the students!
One of the best professors I have ever had. I would go out of my way to take her again. She is very energetic and funny. I don't think the workload is that bad. TAKE HER!!!
Great professor. Very nice. Learned a ton and a fair course.
Outstanding class. She has a special talent for engaging the class and teaching. Amazing instructor that will have you truly thinking.
Drewel was probably one of the best profs I have ever had. She made every student feel like they matter and always wanted to keep the class engaged. The class is an easy a if you work hard, attend class, read the stories and make an effort. I would definitely take her again!
By far the best professor I've had while at Grand Valley. I would definitely recommend her.
Honestly, I resented every minute I had to spend in Drewel's class. Inconsistent, annoying, and extremely boring are the words I would use to describe her class.
BEST PROFESSOR AT GVSU! Such an inspiring class. Lectures are important because we go over what we read about & she explains the readings. I WOULD DEF TAKE HER AGAIN! Weekly online quizzes, easy to pass if you do the readings. Midterm was graded easy, she expresses that she hates the grading system at GV. One group project & one solo project.
I took this class online. It was an easy A but there was a ton of busy work. I think I wrote more for this non-SWS class than I did for my SWS ones. She was helpful and very involved in the class and a decently easy grader. Overall it was a good experience but it was definitely more demanding than I expected for a 100 level course.
Professor Drewel is a great prof! I took LIB 100 with her online and she was always willing to help her students, and she truly wanted everyone to succeed in her course. There was a lot of busy work throughout the semester, but she is overall a fairly easy grader on papers and projects. I would definitely take another class with her again!
She is so so helpful! I had her for an online class and even though the syllabus was very easy to follow, she sent almost weekly reminders to let us know what was due. She is VERY flexible with what we can use for co-curriculars and VERY flexible with due dates if there are any conflicts. Best case scenario for a first time online class taker!!
I took this class online over the summer and it was a tough class, lots of reading and short answer questions. also lots of group work.. yes.. even though its an ONLINE class lol. If you do all the required readings you should be fine :)
November 2025. I am a high school student at the school she teaches at now learning English 2. Her class is pointless and heavily based around philosophy. I am only here because my school forced me to and she is the only English teacher that can teach me in person. She is now a huge supporter of AI, and can not understand how harmful it is. -5/10.
Lots of busy work, absolutely no substance. When actually assigned relevant work, all of it was elementary. She also “doesn't believe in 100s.” She is lecture heavy, but none involve the class we are taking. Her endless jabbering revolves her mental health, how terrible the school is, astrology, or sharing other people's business (such as IEPs).
