Claire is one of my favorite professors at ASU! She is down to earth and I always felt comfortable talking to her about class help and career advice. I always looked forward to her class because it wasn't a typical lecture, she always incorporated her own personal stories which I loved! So yes, I recommend taking her class in person if you can!

One of the best people you will meet. Truly cares about her students and she makes herself very accessible if you need her help. Her passion on the subject is contagious.

Lots of busy work but fairly easy. She is a easy grader so if you just do all of your work theres no reason you shouldn't be able to get an A. And, there is no lockdown browser on tests. I didn't enjoy this class because I have no interest in tourism and just took this as an elective. There is a semester project but she grades them super easily.

Professor McWilliams was the absolute best professor ever!! Her classes were really fun and I enjoyed all her lectures. I got to learn something new everyday which I enjoyed. She has lots of bonus points activities, she makes class so fun and I looked forward to this class. She is very respectful and just the best.

Claire is the greatest ever! It was my first semester at ASU after being a transfer student and she made it so easy to feel apart of ASU with so many opportunities to go to events and be engaged. She gives lots of EC opportunities and makes it easy to schedule appointments if needed outside of class. SHE IS THE BEST YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER!!

Claire is awesome! She clearly cares about students and wants everyone to get involved. Go to class! I had an A and then slacked on my attendance second semester and it brought my grade down. Otherwise, her assignments are not bad - she wants you to succeed.

Claire is the best!! She made class so amazing and made me feel so welcomed being a transfer student. She takes note of attendance but allows one missed class and two classes you can watch on zoom and do a reflection for credit for not being there. Lots of extra credit opportunities and willing to help you with anything!

This class was very political. A guest speaker also came in who was more interested in flaunting her politics than giving useful information. There are a lot of homework assignments due every week even finals week and her grading is very subjective for the paper. She will decide on a paper grade and not give any specifics on why you got that grade.

Great people person, but definitely got political somewhere towards the end of the semester. Grading guidelines were very long and arduous. Cared about students which was nice. The sheer amount of guest speakers was insanely high compared to other courses. If you are in a tourism major, this is a fine class. As an elective, it's very political.

Her classes are very easy to understand and there is tons of extra credit in case you miss a few points on other assignments. She is very helpful and always reachable by email and will respond back rather quickly. Dr. Claire was such a wonderful teacher, I hope to take another class taught by her.

I took this online class for a credit unrelated to my major. She is absolutely fantastic and is very clearly present in the class. There's no mandatory Zoom meetings, but there is a lot of reading (about 8-16 pages per section). LOTS of opportunities for extra credit and exams are open note. This class will boost your GPA, it's very hard to mess up

Dr. McWilliams is extremely strict and controlling. Her class focuses more on enforcing rules, AI checks, and repetitive busywork than on real learning. Assignments are long, unclear, and rarely useful, and her rigid teaching style makes it difficult to relax, be creative, or enjoy the material.

Claire is a professor I can see myself staying in contact with. She cares about students. As long as you read, watch the lectures and do your best, you'll pass. I felt she wasn't strict. You'll learn useful info. One group project but not hard. Just communicate with her if others aren't showing up and doing their part, she won't fault you for it.

Claire's lectures are rarely boring and most of the time they are fun and collaborative. Although there are no group assignments you are required to talk to other students in class which led me to form amazing connections. There is one big project, but honestly it is very fun and interesting while not being hard at all. Love this course!

She's a great professor. Teaches thoroughly through her lectures. Her classes can also be watched through Zoom, but attendance is mandatory. She also gives one freebie absence. She gives out a bunch of extra credit. The tests are all online and open-resource, so pretty easy. Very kind professor. She encourages group participation as well.
