This is one of my favorite teachers, she is easy going and doesn't put pressure on her students or make them feel dumb. Just come to every class, participate and pull 80's and above and you will come out with an A. She is very nice! Tests are multiple choice. I really suggest you take this lady I wouldn't be saying all this stuff for nothing.

she's a very good professor, I'd like the fact that she talked about her family, she made it fun, however watch out on the test, even tough it's multiple choices, she rephrased everything in a way to confuse the hell out of you. Also make sure to give her your draft about the 5 articles on time, so she can rate it and tell you what to change on it.

She is a very nice professor. Talks a lot about her own experiences and has a good sense of humor.

She tells a lot of stories about her sons and give examples with children in them to illustrate the concepts. She will not tell you until 2 weeks before the exam that there is one now, it depends on when you get through the chapters. This made us rush at the end for the final as she allows a lot of discussion in class. But all in all I liked her.

Wouldn't take again

Just 3 papers, If you want an absentee professor then she's for you. If you need a lot of help with the material then look elsewhere. I believe because of her age she is not well suited for online classes. Her emails, announcements, notes, and assignments are very disorganized and littered with spelling errors and contradictions.

Nah don't do it. Yeah there are only 3 assignments, but she takes the longest time to respond to emails. I wrote a 4pg paper that was 2pg min and she said not enough info included so I asked what I could improve on and if I could resubmit it and she just never responded. Just don't say anything if that's the case. Got my anxiety up for no reason.

If u submit all work on time, this class could be an easy A. Ur grade is composed of 3 essay exams. No homework. But she is rlly hard to reach. You have to email her ur assignments and sometimes she doesn't respond. Doesn't upload grades to Blackboard so it's hard to know ur grade. Textbook helps a lot. Unorganized prof but very little work to do
