Worsham is great. Very easy. Lets you know everything you need to know for test, which come directly from notes. Just show up to class and you'll be fine. She's interesting. Tries to tell lots of stories and gives good examples. It can be a little to simple sometimes, which causes you to lose interest, but worth it in the end, i guess.

Prof. Worsham is cute. She got into her lectures and kept things interesting. Put up outlines for the notes and detailed study guides on Blackboard. The final ended up being optional and from what I hear, it was very easy and could replace a low test grade. There were random in-class writing assignments, to check attendance.

Why does USC pay people to read out of a book to its students? She teaches DIRECTLY from the book and adds nothing of value. The concepts you learn in the class are useless. It's just a bunch of definitions that you'll forget by next semester. This class should never be taught again and she should be fired.

Reading/skimming over the textbook before doing the online homework really helped me. However, the homework was often due weeks before we covered the material in class, which was slightly frustrating. Lectures are long, but she sometimes had good examples. What she said in the lectures often appeared on the tests. Poorly-worded test questions.

Professor Worsham is engaging and makes the class material pretty interesting. Exams are pretty much copy/pasted from homework questions, so as long as you read the textbook and practice using the online homework, you'll do well on the exams. There is homework due pretty much everyday before class, but its easy and doesn't take long to do. Easy A.

This class honestly is not difficult at all and you would be fine probably taking it with anyone, but if you want it to be even easier, take Prof. Worsham. You don't need to come to class, but I would recommend doing so for extra credit. The material is pretty boring but easy, make sure you study some for the exams.

I'm not a fan of Dr. Worsham but she's not a terrible professor by any means. For the first half of the classes she couldn't figure out how to get iClicker to work and was very sporadic about attendance. Also, she constantly bring up sorority & guest speaker stuff that I don't really care about. Lectures are easy going. Just show up and you'll pass
