Mrs. Glencross is extremely hard, but once you've taken her government class you will be able to say that you actually know something about the way this country works. I had to do a lot of studying, but I'm glad I took government with her.
No Comments
She's a tough teacher but she makes Government interesting and you actually learn things in her class.
Ok, Don't take the 8 am class, way too much info for that time of day, unless you are already really into politics. Good teacher, but not very helpful. Likes students that give her chocolate and golf balls! I'd say avoid the touble and take Steward!!
Dana is totally awesome. A real intellectual. Her class is tough, but you learn your stuff--and government is important to understand. About as un-biased as you can expect a PS prof to be. Dana Glengross for President!
this women is evil. she thinks that just because she has a nixon bumper sticker she knows something. she dont know ****
Prof. Glencross is so hot. If you a career driven women, it is Glencross.
very hard teach, doesn't offer any study help or encouragement. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!
No Comments
Like has been stated before, she does not teach easy classes. But if you come prepared and know what you're suppose to do, you'll do well. Just don't half-ass it, and you'll be ok.
I had Dana for Goverment and she was very rude did not want to help noone you have to do a paper in her class. She is awful, I have never had a Prof. as bad as she is DONT TAKE HER WARNING!
she's kinda hardnosed, but the material is challenging and it's easy to do well in her govt class if you take it seriously and don't slack. no half assing it!
Stay away. Peroid, aweful.
Notecards-DO THEM! and then take them to her to review. She will make sure you have the correct answers. Study for test and be prepared! Use Comm. Lab for paper. Excellent teacher that really knows her stuff. Enjoyed the class!
This class was rough. Teach is very rude and thinks she knows everything. Expects you to buy your grade. Hated her but did well even though she sucks. If you don't work xtra hard you won't.
Her online class is not a stroll in the park. She really wants you to learn material and understand it. You will do so much better if you understand material and not just memorize. Rough class, glad it's over. Got a B (Worked my butt off)
I took her online class. The information that she tells you to study over is never on the test. She is really rude especially when you talk to her on the phone. Instead of helping me she said if I were you I would drop my Class. I highly recommend not ever taking her class.
It is a very hard course. But, you learn so much..If your thinking about law school this is a must take course.
Worst teacher at OKCCC!!
She is very unfriendly and has an attitude. She mad me feel so so stupid.
I love the class. Teacher is great. I don't understand why she has negative comments.
Glencross is rude and unhelpful. Takes bribes from students. Don't take her class. You will regret it and waste your time.
Great Sylabus, everything you need to get an A is in the sylabi. Bribery, yes this is one of the ways you can get extra credit but studious students can get it simply by participating in class. This teacher gives you all the answers in class, you just have to attend, read and pay attention.
favorite class ever best teacher ever. i have never learned some much in any class and have never cared so much about a class. It takes effort but its worth it.
I am not too sure what people are talking about "buy your grade" or "rude" I never got any of this from her. I made a horrible grade because of me. She gives all of the info I just didn't retain it. Ask questions if you are not sure and she will clarify right or wrong. Study ALL of the LO not just the ones labeled TQ or SAQ.
Everything you need to learn is in the learing objectives that she basically answers for you in her online class. I missed a deadline and she was grateful enough to open it back up with no questions asked. Not sure what the bribery is. Wish it were true though, I tried. I made a C only because I didn't study hard enough the answers she gave us.
She is alright, she likes choclate and golfballs.
Took her online class, and what she told us to study over was never on the test. I emailed her several times and she was rude, didn't want to help and suggested that I drop. Not recommended
she makes everthing so interesting i hate government (2nd times a charm) but she makes me want to like it
No Comments
Very good teacher, must attend class all the time, but she gives you almost all of the answers to the tests during her lectures.All you have to do is study the learning objectives and you can easily pass the class. She is very nice and always willing to answer questions. Dont take the class if you dont want to work
The class is very hard. She is helpful but she is a very serious teacher. The exams are very hard. I had to memorize roe v wade and that is about a couple of pages from memory. I didnt have time to finish the test and I would have made a B but she picked up the papers and wouldnt let the remaining students finish. This was my only C in college.
No Comments
This teacher had an extremely hard online class. I dropped her class in the beginning of the semester because I could not afford to get a B or less. I find it repulsive to have such an easy class made impossible to achieve an A in.
love the way she says.. posterity.
Extremely hard online class. DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE. Her tests are very hard and the quizzes are very unclear and disorganized. I felt like I learned a lot, however I made horrible grades on all the test.
You have to pay attention in this class. She tells you exactly what will be on the tests, you just have to be in class to hear it. A little work is involved, but anyone should be able to get through this class just fine.
Mrs. Glencross' class is difficult. I made an 86, and easily could have done better had I not skipped a few class/came to class baked. She give you what you need to know to do well. The bribery thing is a joke, and only helps you if you have 78 or so. Stay focused, study, and try, easy B.
This is an extremely hard online class. The clairty from her powerpoints are not the clear. She will help you if asked but not that much. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE! I pulled a c in her class and I have never made less than an a or b in any of my classes.
Don't take this professor!!!
Ms.Glencross is a great teacher if your willing to show up and help yourself....I will remember what she taught me personally and she went above and beyond helping me understand the course material...If your looking for an easy class don't take this one..if you want to LEARN sign up fast.... Jayson Emo
She is am amazing teacher. But you either love her or hate her. She tells you what is going to be on the test. Her test are difficult but if you pay attention she will give you 80% of the test in class. You have to go to class she will not give you the helpful hints if you miss. I wish she taught another class that i needed i would love to take her
She is a tough cookie, but awesome teacher. You HAVE to study and come to class. Her tests are hard, but I have never learned so much from a teacher before. Very intelligent woman. Great Class
Not an intro course... Be careful
Intro to Law is an amazing class because of Prof. Glencross. If you want to go into law take this class it will make a BIG difference. You must be in class to be able to pass this class. The moot cout in the middle of the semester is a KILLER! but is a lot of fun and you learn A LOT!! Take this class if you are serious about going into law.
Good teacher. Gives away a lot of test questions during lecture. Reading, note taking, and attendance is mandatory! Not an easy A, but if you follow the objectives and work hard an A is likely.
I actually took this class in 2006 online. It was VERY HARD! It seemed as though she got test questions from her in class lecture notes which obviously doesn't help the online students. I tried studying my chapters in the book but I still struggled to pass her tests, which is what your entire grade depends on.
Always go to class, if you dont she is not willing to help you that much. She gives away tons of test questions in the notes. Test are hard and require alot of studying but she is a great professor. She can also be bribed with chocolate and golf balls for extra credit.
Tests are H-A-R-D!!! you must do alot of memorization, but you really get the subject down... she is truthful about how our government really works, and she is invested in her subject, polisci courses are not just something she does for fun..she cares about her students and will help those who help themselves and honestly try their best...
Took class online, and her lecture notes are way too long. She is nice, but she should not teach a 1000 class. Her notes are hard to understand when taking the class online. You don't know really understand what you should know for the test. If Polsc is your major, you will really like the way she teaches her class. If not, don't take her class!
Notes are a big part of this class, and are very messy and unorganized, and often have little to do with the book material. Gives no study guide, so you have 3 chapters to study for, plus the notes (which are long) and never have an idea what will be on the exam. Uses sloppy PowerPoints that didn't come with material. Avoid.
Took her class online and received no help. she is a bad teacher. If your planning to take her class online dont't she gives suprises on exams that was not on the notes to study.
people, this is college¬ an 8th grade govt class. she is not any more difficult than she ought to be. if you want to actually learn something,take her class! she doesn't drone on and on about only the boring stuff but makes it interesting by relating it to real life (i.e. how it effects you)but you will still have to work for a good grade
She is a great teacher. Those who are looking for an easy professor, do not waste your time. However, if you are a student who would rather be prepared for a upper level class at a University, then take as many of her courses as possible. You will learn way more than you think.
took her online class and it was a joke! she was never willing to help when i had questions and all she kept saying was you will be fine. i would never suggest her for anything.
Not a hard class if you have a brain and can think critically. If you fail this class it's your own fault. Try learning to read. Great professor.
Great Professor! I really enjoyed her class. She treated ALL of her students with respect.Be ready to work hard, big exams. I loved her personality.
My favorite professor at OCCC. She tells you exactly what you need to know for exams, and expects you to actually do the work. Very straightforward, yet manages to keep the subject matter relatable and entertaining. Can be bribed with chocolate. Definitely worth taking any of her on campus classes.
Very good professor, if do poorly in her gov. class then it's your fault.
I took her class online and completely agree with the other comments regarding her online class. She does seem to put test questions that were not notes we received and must have been during her in class lectures. Her chapter notes are very long (around 10 pages each chapter)plus powerpoint to study. It's not hard to get a passing grade though.
this class was extremely tough and portions of the tests were inconsistant with the study information prvided in the books.
I didn't mind the class, I DID mind her inconsistant grading...I made all A's in Quizzes and discussion posts, yet failed all exams, as well as the majority of the class..There was A LOT of info on the tests that was not touched on, and even the final included questions seeming to mock the students, like "is it even possible to pass this class?"
Her exams are ridiculous!!!! Get out of this class before it's too late. ( even if you do well on everything else her exams will sink you) and she thinks it's funny!!!!
Her personality is awesome. Very funny. I didn't know anything about government when I went into her class. I passed that's all that mattered to me. The course was hard though and a lot of information to try to remember. But she was helpful, she responded to me when I needed her and it didn't take a week and a half. I liked her. I still don't like
Do not take her! Thinks way too highly of herself, and way too low of her students. Knows her stuff, but hard grader. She made class much harder then it had to be, and felt like she rather be teaching at a major university instead of OCCC
She is a very good professor! Be there as much as possible because she gives test questions in the notes and sometimes gives you the answers on your quizzes! You just have to study to make a good grade.
DO not take this professor. She is extremely difficult and her tests are very hard. The notes are ridiculously long. Too much to remember and even some test questions aren't from notes. Very bad professor. Horrible.
If you think that Professor Glencross is too hard of a professor you probably aren't willing or able to dedicate your time to a tough class with complex topics like State and Local Government. That being said, if you are interested in learning how our State Govt. works you should consider professor glencross. she will push you to work hard and lear
Hard classes, but valuable if your a POLSC major
Just authored a new AFG textbook! High quality prof. Slackers beware.
Great teacher! Keeps you interested in the subject! Has a great passion for government. Show up for class use the power points and learning objectives!!! You'll pull a B easy. DO NOT TAKE HER ONLINE, VERY DIFFICULT!
Professor Glencross pushes you hard in the online class. But this class is manageable if you just stay up on your reading, actually do the learning objectives, and be prepared for comprehensive exams.
Very good professor, and think she is hot. I learned allot about our government. Why isn't OCCC using her text book?
She's the BEST! Don't take her if you are not serious about learning!
Took her online AFG. Made lectures and PPT available. Was very organized. Tests easy if you study objectives. Very straightforward class. Good at returning e-mails. Do the work and you'll be ok.
I'm usually a pretty interactive student with my teachers and their assignments..it's how I learn best. However, even though its college, her methods of open discussion and notes were very helpful; and definetly attributed to a decent grade. She gives you a plethora of online tools and material that practically spell out the tests..Very satisfied!!
Best professor I ever had. extremely helpful. also great person to know as far as networking. Tests were direct out of the notes and she will overlook your notes to check accuracy and tell you if they are on the test. Highly recommend taking her if you want to actually learn anything about politics and get a credit for class.
Way too difficult than necessary, felt like taking an upper division polisci class not a beginning one. She's helpful with questions you have but kills you with exams, way too much material on there that she doesnt talk about and isnt on her dense reviews. I don't recommend her
Worst teacher ever! Do not take her online American Federal Government!It takes her weeks to reply to e-mails! Her tests are awful! She does not give a review just tells you to do the 15 page extra credit for each test that's worth nothing as far as points!
She made this class a lot herder than what it needed to be... yes she was nice and she knows her stuff but she made the class way to hard and her test do not always go with her lectures.
Prof has a great personality. Willing to help students with a subject that most could care less about. Don't get the comments here that the course is hard--do the work and it's easy! Yeah, tests are tough but not if you've done the study sheet. Whiners. Take the class and learn!
Took as online class. Lots of reading and homework but helped immensely on tests. Online posts/discussions were made interesting and relevant. Wish I had her in class. Great teacher if you want to really learn.
Also took Glencross online. Gave many, many materials that helped me learn a subject I really didn't and still don't care about. Course is easy IF you use what's there and do the extra credit for exams. I would recommend this course.
Great teacher and person! Class is involved with coursework but if you do the work, you are prepared for every exam! She offers extra credit left and right. Started out doing poorly on tests but by end of the semester, got an A because I did the work and all extra credit. You learn a lot about the subject. she makes it interesting and exciting
She is great! I learned so much but I had so much fun. She gives you everything you need to be successful in this class!
Prof. G took a crappy subject and made it very worthwhile. She cares a lot about students, especially online. Makes sure you get answers quickly. I loved this course!
Bombed my first exam but she made sure that I improved after that. This prof is more than willing to help.
This class is so much harder than it needs to be. I'm only in this class because it is required by my degree. I'm not a political science major. I find politics very boring and a bit too opinionated for my taste and this class is nothing but a headache. The professor is nice, yeah, but way too caught up in this subject for my taste.
One of the best professors I ever learned from. Her classes are hard,but she has depth in subject matter. Do the work, show up for class and you will do fine. I took her Intro to Law and State&Local Government. You will either learn or fail. She is for serious students only.
Glencross is great! Show up every freaken day, study, and do every freaken assignment, even if you have to BS it. You will get at least a C! If you do poorly in this course? It's your study habits and determination that need to be addressed.
If you show up and take notes you will pass. She gives extra credit on every test paper and assignment plus a super bonus at the end if you do everything. The tests are straight from the notes and learning objectives. I suggest this class if you want to learn quickly without having to do much. Reading can be beneficial but you don't have to.
Great instructor. Know your material she wrote the book.
If you think her online class will be easier you're wrong. She tests you on everything. I'm sure it would have been easier to be in her class. Even if you take her online class you still have to take the test in the testing center. It's part mult choice and part short answer. She seems very intelligent but I am not a political science major.
Professor Glencross is one of the best professors I have ever had. You have extra credit on LITERALLY every assignment and she is more than willing to help you out if you get confused. Sometimes she is unclear in class, she is really into the subject and seems to forget not everyone is, but just do the objectives and you will definitely pass!
Professor Glencross is awesome. I wish she could teach all of my classes! Do the extra credit and read! This class is easy to pass if you actually do the work.
Prof. Glencross' summer class was terrific. Clear expectations and lots of opportunities to succeed. Great at returning e-mails. Take this course!
I took this class in the summer, online. Professor Glencross is a great professor! You have to read A LOT and put time and effort into the class, but if you do, you will do well! She is very supportive and very responsive to e-mails.
Professor Glencross is awesome! She is very understanding of your personal situations and will let you turn in work after its due. Show up to class, take notes and you will pass! Great teacher totally recommend.
I loved this course and highly recommend Professor Glencross. She gives 10 bonus points for extra credit on every test and a mega bonus at the end of the course if you have all your assignments completed. She's passionate about the course material and that translates into her lectures. She will give you every opportunity to pass and is very helpful
The discussions and quizzes are very straight forward. However, the exams that this professor writes herself are ridiculous. She doesn't give enough time to complete the exams, and almost none of the questions are addressed in the text book. Even if you get 100% on all quizzes and discussions, good luck getting a C!
LOVE LOVE LOVE. Highly educated. Knows her stuff. She is definitely concerned about the success of her students. Not a class for the lazy. I learned something new everyday. Prepared way beyond measure for law school.
Professor Glencross is amazing! She really does make learning fun! She has a very good personality.
Great professor, relatable, engaging, and funny. Very committed to her work and her students. You WILL NOT leave this class without learning something each day. Planning to find more courses taught by Professor Glencross.
Great proff.
Professor Glencross gives good explanations. The Exams Are tough but she teaches you a lot to know and learn the material ! Great Professor!
Okay so I took this online and the quizzes were easy! But the tests were hard. I think my average was a 70% and I'm a 4.0 student and I actually try. However she gives lots of extra credit and it's time consuming but with doing I ended the class with a 92
Professor Glencross is AMAZING! I took her for the summer intersession and it was hard but I made a great grade in her class. Be prepared to read and to actually do the study guides. Gives lots of extra credit.
Do not take her online. There are easier professors for that. I understand she is amazing in class but that doesnt translate online. These were the hardest tests I've ever taken. 25 multiple choice and 8 short answer (more like short essay). Completing the study guides is 10 extra credit points but they take approx 2-5 hours per chap. to complete.
If you take it seriously, she will take you seriously.
Probably the best professor i have ever had! Very engaging! Tests are tough but do ALL of the extra credit and you will do fine in the class. I would recommend her to anyone!
Prof Glencross set the standard for all profs. A true academic as well as very concerned about students who want to learn. You can't take a better prof.
Dr. Glencross was a great professor. She has great lectures with lots of class participation, and really prepares her students to navigate government. I slacked so bad in this class and still passed with a low B. I had a lot of outside problems through the semester that really took away from my effort. If I would have tried it would be an easy A.
Prof Glencross is an amazing teacher. She really cares about her students. She def. has the attitude that if you take her seriously then she will take you seriously. She only has 3 BIG assignments but gives plenty of time to do them and prepare. Offers extra credit for every test! (& for the end of the semester --hint hint she loves chocolate!)
Glencross may be great in a class taken at the school but online it is fairly difficult. Her tests are extremely difficult with having 8 essay question/answers on every exam. I would not take her online class again.
Okay, so if you take Glencross for Federal Government just get ready to do your work. The work is not at all hard, just time consuming. Also she gives you numerous opportunities to excel in her class and the only reason that you should not do well in her class is if you don't study and if you don't come to class. I loved taking her class so much!!!
She wrote the text book so she supports it fully. You will use a program called mind tap that goes with the text book. I had a bunch of technical issues with the mind tap and did not like it. I felt she was a little unorganized not putting all quizzes, assignments, and test in the same spot. I wouldn't recommend her online.
Professor Glenncross is amazing. Get ready to read a lot, but it is needed in order to learn law and where it comes from. She is really helpful and cares about the students. Her lectures are incredible. It is a tough class, but its all because she wants you to be successful and prepared when you move on in to your career.
My Intro to Law class was the most challenging class I took in my first semester in college. This is a good thing because it is the class in which I learned the most. I saw someone mentioned "she takes her job too seriously" That must be a compliment considering it is what you should expect from a college education. If you work hard U will be fine.
Very difficult. Material told to study was never on the test or material never told to study was on test. Prof. Glencross was very rude in her emails. I took the class online and I had trouble understanding what she meant by some things so when I asked she would tell me to figure it out and that she could not help me.
Dr. Glencross was just an okay professor. Her quizzes and other homework assignments were a piece of cake, but when it came to her exams. It was nearly impossible. These exams were all written response and were nothing that was in the textbook. There was little to no time to finish the exams anyway. I would avoid her online courses at all cost.
Prof Glencross knows this topic and makes lectures interesting. Participation in class is essential. Study exam objectives. The information is relevant to today. It provides you with a structured guide on how to navigate issues with government departments.
Professor Glencross is a very poor online instructor. The material is not clearly out of the book. On several occasions I found a discrepancy between the lecture notes and the textbook. In the end the lecture notes win. They supersede common knowledge and the internet and the textbook. If you question an answer, you are wrong. period.
I was worried about taking this class because I had never been in government before. But I loved it! She has very clear grading criteria and tells exactly what she expects in her syllabus. As long as you meet deadlines and put in effort the class is great! Very willing to help you with anything you need. I would definitely take her class again!
She goes in depth about the teaching and helps you understand by using situations that are going on currently. there is extra credit that can bump up your grade a lot. Pay attention in class, do your homework and you will pass.
Focus on reading your cases. If she writes it on the board you *will* need it for your notes. Exams are essay questions. Use the practice prompts to time yourself before the test so you don't run out of time. If cold-called, don't waffle, pick a stance, and reasonably defend it, even if she disagrees. Moot court is fun but hellish.
I loved Prof. Glencross, she had us do mootcourt and I loved that experience because now that I am at ou I realize that having taken her class was the best choice I could ever make. She is a great professor and very knowledgable. I would take her and any course she offered in a heartbeat again
I took her American Federal Government class online in the fall of 2019. For those worried about the awful essay exams mentioned here, don't be. Tests are now all multiple choice and fairly easy if you just read the textbook. Your grade basically consists of a few forum discussions, chapter quizzes/questions, and exams. Overall very easy!
I took this class online. Study guides are worth the exact same as exams and are also completely useless. You have better grades googling every quiz and exam then doing actual studying. Professor doesnt care about her students, no matter what your situation at all she will not give any leeway no extra credits and no late work. Dont take her class
I'm taking her AFG class online, and if you just listen to the PowerPoint lectures and take notes, she pretty much gives you every answer. If you are late on an assignment or don't turn something in, that's on you and there's no extra credit. I work full time, go to school full time, and I'm married with two kids... seriously, she's a good one.
I took her class as a high school student online, she is a super nice person and very understanding. She just gave a lot of work, isn't the best at telling you why you were graded the way you were. I was not a fan of her teaching style but her class is not impossible. The textbook was not useless but you could do without it! would NOT recommend it.
Never ONCE held a conference call to lecture nor posted video lectures. Would have outdated or inaccurate test questions. Would not provide sufficient information for quiz/test questions. I sold myself to the course as a slave. Don't do it.
She explains things very clearly. Lots of reading. Great PowerPoint lectures, work was pretty simple and to the point. Didnt take up too much of my time. Definitely would attend this class again if I could!
Professor Glencross was very accessible and always made sure to provide a lecture video and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter.
I had professor Glencross for a fast track class and she was great. She answered my questions. The grading criteria was clear. She gave you all of the necessary information to pass this class. Highly recommend. Just a heads up, the PowerPoints are long and dull but absolutely necessary.
