She is good in the fact that she prepares u for a 4yr. institution. She "instructs" and doesn't "teach". She'll basically quickly highlight major points and it's your reponsibility to read up on that, plus other minor points not always in lecture. Test comes from mainly readings not lectures. If u don't read low C maybe; reading gets u the A

She is a really great teacher! I love going to her classes and the lectures are brief and short. Watch a lot of videos and fun activities. A downside is that she tends to forget some stuff or go back and talk about previous things you asked her to talk about. Overall a fun teacher!

This review is for her ONLINE CLASS. Her 8 week course includes a test and discussion board a week. There is a lot of reading involved. You cannot pass without the book. My biggest complaint with her is that she NEVER EVER responds to e-mails. She also has a discussion board where you can ask questions, but she never bothers replying.

Took the online course, only complaint I had were the quizzes. They don't test you on overall concept, just the facts. So after reading two unnecessarily long chapters (for each quiz), you have to continue going back to check every detail for specific data. It's really annoying. Otherwise, easy grader & not difficult, just expect A LOT of reading.

She is late every single class. When you approach for advise on her class she will give you an attitude and encourage you to leave her alone. It seems replying email is an epic quest, because she never does. "Gives extra credit" but its only one point, you earn more points by being in class and do the in-class work. Unorganized.

McAneney had a very clear grading criteria. All expectations were given up front. However took weeks to grade an assignment which is disrespectful to students. Students shouldn't be left in the dark days before class ends. Also it is ineffective to not give constructive feedback if students don't receive grades. How are they expected to improve?
