Bad. Really Bad. Has no interest in teaching what so ever - which is evident by her lack of communication skills.
Excellent instructor! She was very helpful. I really learned alot from her as she really knows her stuff. Ms. Crider took her time to answer everyone's questions and made class interesting and fun! She even baked cookies for our class. I wish I could have her for the next semester!
Knowledge Deficit/Self-Care Deficit
She is very nice, but not a good lecturer. Has trouble pronouncing simple med terms.
Be ready to teach yourself
Where to start. Worst instructor I've ever had. Nice lady, good nurse, BAD teacher. Worst part about the class was her inability to make anything clear or simple. I would say 90% of the questions the class missed were missed because they were poorly worded and unclear. We all understood the material, it was her we couldn't handle. Good luck!
Test items lacked clarity and were often purposefully vague. Critical thinking does not mean having the ability to get into this teacher's head. Very disorganized and underprepared for lecture; which was a complete waste of time save for the mandatory quizzes.
It seems like people in the nursing program like to balme everything on their professor! Ms. Crider is honestly a very nice person and tries really hard to be a good teacher. The way the class is set up is very poor (hybrid). As for her class as long as you study it isn't hard at all. The test are easy and straight foward.
Decent teacher, the class being hybrid is a bad idea, this kind of information should be given to us by a teacher instead of us teaching ourselves. I think the key points need to be relayed by the teacher a little better.
Very sweet and polite lady. Trying to be helpfull. Although, not always successfully. Exam questions are not always clear.
One of the nicest professor I have ever had. The class is set up poorly and should not be a hybrid class. She is very willing to help, but has a lot going on.
Love 1600 and 1701. My favorite teacher. Helpful and professional!
Professor Crider was a very nice woman!!! Very nice caring and considerate person!!!I really learned a lot in her class...So forget about all the harsh rumors you hear she is NOT bad!!!
Good teacher with relevant experiences to bring to class discussions.
Prof. Crider is super nice, but she's not a good teacher. This class should NOT be a hybrid (not her fault), but, because it is, she should respond to emails and discussion board questions in a timely manner. Unbelievably frustrating to get a hold of, or get an answer from.
Cridor is very compassionate about nursing. She knows her stuff. She just gets a little flustered at times. This class should not be a hybrid course. The material is way too important to leave it up to the students to learn on their own.
very unorganized but nice
She is such a nice person but very unorganized.
The material was interesting and I feel like I learned a lot. There were frequent typos and misprints in test questions as well as on powerpoints and presentations that we're expected to teach ourselves from. Incredibly unfair to expect us - as students - to correct what we're being taught, as we're learning it.
Ms Crider is a nice person, but when it comes to teaching she is very unorganized. 1600 should not be a hybrid course. Coming to class for me was a waste of time. I basically self taught myself the needed info. What I did not understand my study group helped me to understand. She did not respond to discussion or emails in a timely manner.
Crider demonstrates professionalism and knowledge in the field of nursing. At times class seemed a little disorganized, but I had a successful semester so something was right! However, there was way too much talking and background noise going on during lecture. Very frustrating and annoying!
nice but not helpfull
Not really available. Hard to schedule an appoitment with.
Professor Crider is a kind instructor, is compassionate in her work & enjoys teaching. I do believe that Professor Crider has too large of a workload. There are typos on class materials. She does provide many examples and additional tools that are helpful in achieving success in the course. No timely response to questions. Late for meetings/appts.
Nice woman, not-so-good instructor. Does not respond to e-mails nor discussion posts in a timely manner. Doesn't clarify for test purposes. Very disorganized course. Class was a waste of time (other than the 3 pop-quizzes).
Sweet and caring lady who loves nursing and it shows! Just needs to present 1600 in a more organized fashion (BB content~weekly material,"Grades" page in BB). Too many irons in the fire maybe?! With 1600 being a hybrid, we need organized guidance to help make sure we cover all material!
Crider was kind and brought much experience to the classroom. I did not like the hybrid. I would have rather gone to two days of lecture.
Crider is a very compassionate person. However, she doesn't respond to emails. I think the whole nursing program lack organization so i don't blame her at all. I would have rather spent class time at home watching the breezes.
She is a nice person, a bit unorganized. I think she has a lot of responsibilities and might be overwhelmed at times. The class format was bad, this was not the class for a hybrid format.
nice but can't teach
overall Prof. Crider is a fair instructor. She will stonewall you when she is found to be wrong, even when presented text as backup. For a stu This is a bad attribute.
She is a very sweet and helpful instructor! Alot of material is covered. The nursing program is supposed to be CHALLENGING to get rid of all the people who shouldn't be nurses! There were many rude students who complained ALOT this semester!
Very disorganized. Lacks ability to convey complex concepts to students during lecture. Often appears distracted and flustered.
Nice teacher..It appears she has a lot of responsibilities.
dont try to ask a question. reveiw your tests for errors.
She needs to be a little more organized with her time.
I liked her teaching method at first, however as the semester progressed, we received less and less instruction. We were told to "look in the book",when we asked a question. I think some of this is due to the disorganization of the nursing program. Also, they are making us post on here and show proof before we can take the final, which I disagree.
Very nice teacher, but I would have liked a little more organization out of this class in general. It was a hybrid course and I felt like we didn't get out lectures and outlines on time - which made learning the info even more challenging.
She is not a good professor. Her lectures are very difficult to follow, she always seems distracted and it sounds as if something is in her mouth. She is not a good teacher and I learned absolutely nothing from her this semester. Tri-C nursing program is self taught with no guidance.
She is not a good instructor. She miss pronounces many words in her breezes. While doing the breezes she will cough, eat, and misquote many different facts. She does not explain anything to you, she just reads the outline to you.
Awesome professor.
Oh my gosh this i the worst instructor ever. She cant count, half of the students she said failed the math test actually passed. She doesn ever check her e mail so good luck contacting her. She is often late to class and posts things 5 mins b4 class
crider was one of the best clinical instructors i have had she was kind and understanding. very smart. wanted her students to learn. when we couldn't get mom's to deliver and weren't in post pardom she took every opportunity to teach information and make sure we got the most out of our clinical that we could. highly recomended!
I had her for OB clinical. Definitely the best instructor in my three semesters thus far. Not only does she show a genuine passion for the profession, she has a genuine desire to educate. And she actually cares that you get it. She goes above and beyond for the students and makes clinical a terrific learning environment. Take her, Take her!!
I loved her. Notes and breezes go along with what we needed for the test. She really made sure we understood the material. She even gave us some refreshers on 1600 material which we will need to know for our next semester. She was great overall although she did warn us her computer skills were not the best and they weren't.
OB is pretty tough and I think Ms Crider tried to get it through to us. She is very approachable and is very smart. Sometimes however, I feel like her tests were a complete mixture of lecture, notes, breezes, and books. So you still need to work very hard at it to succeed. Overall, glad I had her.
Approachable, professional, positive, and was very helpful. I think the majority of the class got Bs in her section. Take good notes and read the book. Very enjoyable in the summer for the first 1/3 of the accelerated program.
Pleasant personality, very knowledgeable. Very vague at times if you ask for clarification about testing and did not teach math, had us look at a youtube video. You need to read the book!
Very nice instructor. I don't think she's very good at instructing though.. Notes were not consistent with the book.. She didn't even tell us that until we had to ask.. Her notes almost seemed like she didnt update them for some time.. I could imagine her being a better clinical instructor..
Only reason I passed 2300 was because I rocked out OB. Crider is very nice. Not very knowledgable as a teacher in lecture but she does know her material. Record lectures, take good notes, you'll be fine. Don't spend too much time on book. Didn't read the book and pulled out a high B, and I'm a C student. Recording is a must in nursing if u like it
Clinical instructor. Very educated & passionate about OB. Her voice was very low & hard to hear most times. Very helpful with lecture material as well. A+
Crider is a knowledgeable teacher and very approachable. However she is not very organized. doesn't respond to emails very quickly. I liked her as a person but her tests questions were not very clear or good. stay close to her notes and lectures. all questions seem to be pulled from it then the book.
Unorganized notes. You are confused on what to study. Tests are ridiculously hard. Lectures are long and boring.
Very nice, extremely unorganized, patient and willing to answer questions after class. Here is how you pass Crider: 1. record her lectures. download them to your computer that night. the next day 2. listen to the lectures and make notes on her power points. 3. do a TON of nclex questions. from every source possible.
Oh my goodness is this professor slow. This is my 3rd sem. in nursing, and she's the worstmost slowest nursing professor I've encountered. We take the exams on Tues. and she finally gets them back to us around 11 Sun. night because Metro campus scantron machine is broken and she's to lazy to drive her lazy self to eastern campus. unorganized&lazy.
I had her as my psych clinical instructor. The nicest lady I have met so far in the nursing program. She is extremely helpful in clinical and will answer any questions you have. I wish I had her as a clinical instructor for the whole program.
Great Lectures! Goes above and beyond for your success. Record her lectures to review, read and you will do fine!
This course has a lot of material, but this professor explains it thoroughly and welcomes questions and discussions. Recommend studying prior to taking as the material can be confusing and so much is covered in only a short time frame. Professor Crider is very approachable & knowledgeable.
Didn't have her for lecture but had her as my OB clinical instructor. Awesome teacher. More about experiences at clinical than paperwork. Always got students in to c-sections and deliveries as much as possible, NICU, nursery, etc. Helpful with your lecture content too, truly wants you to understand the material. Very kind & approachable.
Had her for OB.... LOVED HER!!!!! Best teacher I have had at Tri c!!! Lectures and notes are easy to understand.. MUST REVIEW NOTES and READ. Get a study guide book for the tests that follow with your book and use quizlet. GO TO CLASS. If you don't understand something ask her... she will be more then willing to explain it!
Professor Crider is a very good instructor both in class and clinical. I've had her for OB and Psych and got an A in both. Read, listen in the class and review notes.
This lady is phenomenal. I didn't do well in her class (but passed) but it was my fault for not studying enough. Study a lot and you'll do well. Watch the breezes. Do the post-lecture activities.
She is definitely one of the best at Tri-c. You probably don't NEED the book but I used it for clarification when I needed it. Her lectures are amazing and if you skip one then you probably won't pass that test. Record her lectures and listen to them over again. Practice NCLEX questions and you'll be fine.
Crider is a great OB teacher, lectures have all the information you need. Tests come from lectures and she will let you know any charts/tables to look at in the book (book is not necessary to pass). My only two complaints: she speaks rather quiet (sit up front), and she takes about a week to grade tests.
Had the best clinical experience with her!!!! She's so kind and incredibly smart. She lectured sometimes during clinical which really helped with my lecture exams and overall understanding. Love this teacher!
Extremely disorganized. Lecure is all over the place. Outlines are horrible no rhyme or reason. Doesn't respond to emails. Takes too long to grade tests.
Bad, bad, bad. Should not be a college level instructor. Tri-c seems desparate. I'm 0 for 2 in the instructure dept. Would not recommend this nursing program. Higher ups could care less about your success so don't bother emailing them. Self taught and pray!
I loved crider she was great her lectures are disorganized but it was worth rewriting them and reading the book, we had bush jones for psy and she was our next teacher which her exams were way easier! listen to her lecture and review her notes do your homework to receive xtra credit. Very approachable, study nxclex questions and you should be fine!
Worst Instructor I have ever taken. Horribly unorganized.
Terrible.
Great lecturer, easy and approachable. Don't get distracted by the unorganized notes, lack of accessbility outside of class and dead links in the post lecture activities. No book needed, just use her notes but they are very unorganized. Overall, great teacher just a little messy makes it hard to follow.
I don't know students didn't use the book and was successful. That was my hardest class ever. She took forever to grade the test and her questions was all over the place . I love her as a person but that class was a different story. I failed her first test but that was because I didn't read the book the rest was fine because I actually read.
Crider is a very nice person and knows her stuff, but she presents the material in such an unorganized way. Some of her outlines were over 30 pages long and outdated. Her tests were all over the place and she had questions that weren't even covered in class. Took forever to grade tests. Too many reading assignments. She should not teach
Third semester and she was by far the worst teacher i have ever had. She test on informatin that was not in the lecture and she specifically says do not worry about it and it shows up on the exam. You have to read the book. Very unorganized and returns your Tuesday exams on Saturday at midnight. How is that suppose to help students?? Worst Teacher
Nice person, but her lectures are very disorganized. The entire PowerPoint is not made available, only in outline format.
Best clinical instructor hands down. I love how lay back she is and how easy she makes the flow of work in the psych floor look. She takes things one step at a time and is more then willing to give you time to explain or clarify anything to you. She has lots of patience. Tri-c she be happy to have her!
Really nice professor, but not very responsive via email. difficult exams, READ YOUR NCLEX BOOK, and skim the book.
Shes awesome as a person, which has been said many times by others; but, very disorganized! She uitilizies every minute of lecture by trying to go over her 50pg outline just for you to realize you still have to read the text book and recall little things she mentions! Its uterrly frustrating for a 5wk course to say the least!
60 page outlined lectures per unit and 6 hours of class per week and the tests are based off what you read AT HOME. Tests were not based on class lectures. There are blatant inconsistencies between her outlines and the book. She is extremely knowledgeable but her lectures are SO disorganized it's hard to enjoy her class.
Prof Crider is such a sweet person and she wants you to do well. That said, read the book as her tests focus on that, not the lecture. Her lecture is a bit disorganized as well as her outlines that she posts. M
Prof. Crider was a good OB instructor. Its a 5 week course, and she does not have time to cover all the material. You will have to do some reading outside of class. That said, a majority of what she lectured was the majority of the test. She was also very friendly and approachable. A little disorganized when it comes to emails and her blackboard.
Prof Crider is a very sweet and knowledgeable woman. However, I find the material very hard to follow in the way she presents it. I've found inconsistencies with what she says, what's in her outline, AND what's in the book. I felt like I spent more time organizing her notes from lecture than studying. Overall she does want her students to succeed.
The only way to pass Crider's class is to read through the book 3+ times and get lucky. Her lectures are comically unorganized. Her exams have numerous typos that make them even more difficult than they already are. Speaking of exams, the lectures cover maybe 5 out of the 35 questions that are on them-- AVOID AT ALL COSTS! good luck everyone :)
Pros: super nice professor and approachable. Her lectures are scattered and difficult to follow. She will have nursing interventions, treatments, and considerations all stacked in one slide. You have to decipher often because her abbreviations dont always make sense. She is difficult to get ahold of and even has spelling errors on exams
Want to fail OB? Take Crider. Shes the perfect recipe for a nursing degree disaster. Her OB exams are as tough as banging your head through a concrete wall. If youre lazy and or dont study, you just earned yourself an F. Good luck- because youll need it.
Don't really know how she grades, I had her as an early nursing clinical instructor, so no tests. My clinical was terrible and she was the only reason we all enjoyed it. She spent time answering questions, telling nursing stories and giving us insight into what a nursing career could hold. Knowledgeable, experienced & uses it to help her students.
I believe Prof. Crider is misunderstood, yes her class is hard but she geninuely cares about her students. My biggest advice is to ask her for clarification if you're not understanding the topic. majority of her exams comes from her breezes, so actually listen and take notes from them. also dont be afraid to go to tutoring, it helps!!!
Took Crider for 1230 lect.+ lab. In lecture, she was knowledgeable and mostly kept on topic. When we would ask questions, she would say, "look at your notes" or refer us to the reading. She did not go over online lectures and tests did not correspond to what she taught. She was supportive and nice but uncoordinated and messy. Beware of those exams!
Prof. Crider is the best nursing instructor I've had! She is overall an amazing person and she really wants her students to be successful. She will do anything she can to make sure you truly understand a topic and she sets up a lot of time to meet up and go over things if you do not understand something. She will work with you and make nursing fun!
She is an amazing instructor! I have her for my psych clinical. She is really knowledgeable and wants to make sure you truly understand it all and will answer any questions you have. She is a caring and compassionate person.
I could have done a lot better in this class but one of the reasons was Crider. Her lectures were very monotonous and all she did was read off the slides, there was nothing to expand on. I feel like she barely taught and it was only in the 2nd week she did but the rest she left us to fight on our own accord. Improvement is needed.
She doesn't reply to emails. She doesn't teach. She's a nice person, but that's all she has going for her. Which makes it hard to say anything negative about her, but those are the facts!!
Prof. Crider can be hit-or-miss. Her lectures can be dry, but she's genuinely invested in helping students succeed. Using unstuck study alongside the textbook really helped me stay on top of the material.
She is knowledgeable but unresponsive to emails which makes it hard to make appts. Lectures focus more on her patients than the material. The objectives she provides are often late and misaligned with her exams, which contain grammar and spelling errors that confuse questions. Better teaching yourself the material. I don't recommend this professor.
Very hard to get in touch with Professor Crider outside of lecture time. She's very nice and approachable but I found assigned objectives were not in alignment with the exam material or the exams were given over material we hadn't learned yet. I enjoyed the information that was taught but we almost needed more lecture time. Felt rushed.
Professor Crider provided us with a lot of lecture material and explained the material in a way that we could understand. She is one of the best professors that I had!
Professor Crider is a kind and caring teacher and wants her students to succeed
