She is an easy grader, but she tends to be very hard-headed. She can be very disorganized at times and also spends too much time on one subject which tends to waste class time. Her lectures get too heavy for no reason. However, the paper she assigns are pretty straight forward. If you write the paper the way she wants, you will pass with an A.

There is alot of material that isn't mentioned in the syllabus. Expect to get useless in class assignments with confusing instructions that aren't clear. There are sub assignments on sub assignments on sub assignments for one essay assignment. I get a very "simon says" vibe from her instructions. Says "are you with me?" Frequently.

She does NOT use Canvas at all. She uses a folder for your work to be put in. Prepare not to ever know your grade. She can be good and bad at some times. Sometimes off topic. Assignments are boring and repetitive. Makes us write essays for no reason and didn't get a grade for them. Calls on you randomly to answer the questions from workbook.

Pay attention to what kind of information she wants you to write in your papers and you will do just fine.

She was amazing and very accessible outside of class for one on one help. She walks you through every mistake and gives you time for corrections. Her lectures can move fast if your behind but she didnt mind taking the time to slow down and help. Overall a pretty easy A if you put forth the effort and are not juvenile during her class

My only criticism was that she cared way too much about the attendance of individuals. If you showed up to class but left early, she would count you as absent. She gave great feedback for papers if you asked questions, but she would sometimes shame u into learning things. Bad at emailing. Also you're really going to need the books.

Professor Schouman overall was lovely to have as a teacher and will pretty much tell you exactly what to do to get an A and as long as you do that you will be fine. She is very funny and overall made a class that I normally find very boring bearable.

Good prof, slightly stricter than the average teacher, but nothing irrational. Not the most informative/understandable but I understood her enough to do well. Work consisted of multiple papers and four tests, two of which had set dates and two that were surprises.

Unless you literally have 0 life outside of school then dont take her class. She cares WAY too much about students attendance, I did all my work and passed everything except for ONE paper & she failed me for the entire class...... literally unless you have NO LIFE AT ALL Outside of community college save yourself the hassle and take someone else

She takes attendance everyday and you need to make sure she doesn't mark you absent by accident. It happened to me and she refused to change it. Every paper is broken up into sections that your classmates grade which you then compile for her to grade. It's a very easy class.

A real caring teacher with a passion for what she does. Show up, participate, and do your homework and it's an easy grade if you are trying. The syllabus clearly outlines what is required, there are plenty of helpful handouts, and she is helpful with any questions one might have. Highly recommended.
