Really nice and wicked easy. Only 3 hw assignments all year and she gives u the website to do it. Everyclass is overheads and lectures but its still interesting.
Great teacher, very easy, but you learn a fair amount. Much better then most of the Constitution and History courses offered for the same GER. At least with this teacher. She makes things so clear and is willing to talk after class and stuff.
Really nice. Makes the topic seem a lot less boring than it is.
Nice and does an okay job with a BORING subject matter.
the subject matter was ok, but the class was left to stick strictly to the book, and there wasn't any room for open discussion on the topics.
She makes this topic VERY interesting, and I hate history so that says a lot. She's so nice and so helpful and so understanding, definitely take this class!
she is the best teacher. i really enjoyed having her as a teacher - very little homework and very fair tests. always willing to help, and a very sweet person
She is excellent, very good teacher, just go to class or make sure u get the notes, but her tests are pretty easy, love her
great teacer, easy exams, very little h/w, really nice/ laid back
She's extremely nice and laid back. Only a few simple homework assignments for the entire course. No final exam and 4 exams in total. Tests aren't too bad just make sure you read the book to cover anything you missed from her lectures, which unfortunately are pretty boring.
boring class
Class is very boring, but it has to be. The teacher is nice, test are rather easy. If you are into politics take it... if not... GET OUT NOW!
does a great job staying neutral. brings humor to parts of the subject that are dry, and is truthful about not knowing an answer. has extreme patience for the self-absorbed chatter box student who thinks class is a dialogue between them and the teacher for the benefit of everyone else in the room...
Class was fun, subject was presented very well. Go to class!!! Attendence is totally worth it. All the tests were straight from the outlines. She was a great teacher, and FYI, I bet she's a democrat! I'll let that slide though... she was a good teacher.
She knows that it's a boring subject for anyone who is not a poli sci major, so she trys to make it interesting for the rest of us. Make sure you go to class, quizzes are on notes from class.
This was one of the best classes EVER. Shes an awesome teacher. She actually learns who each student is, and is fun to talk to. Has a good sense of humor and makes the subject make sense rather than just a bunch of unimportant facts. Def take her if you get the chance. She's GREAT!
Fairly easy class but attendance is key. I liked the fact that she never threw her own political views into the lectures.
she's a good teacher. she gets into the subject and gives clear notes. her tests aren't exactly easy. but she gives a TON of extra credit to make up for it.
Very easy class... get extra credit just for attendence. Be sure to read the book tho, some test questions come from it. All tests mult. choice. Def. should take it :)
Lots of note taking, four 50 multiple choice question tests, your lowest test grade is dropped and she gives lots of extra credit som of which is through attendance and some is through quizes on blackboard. Very clear about what will be on the tests, she gives a review sheet for each one. She's helpful, and the class is good, fun and interesting.
She is a great professor...she tells u exactly what is on the test so if u take good notes its an easy A. The class is pretty interesting too cuz you talk about how crazy some laws and**** can be...i highly suggest taking her fo real fo real
good class
There's no reason not to get an A. You get 6 points added to final avg just for showing up every day (5 for 1 abscence, etc). She scales the quizzes-4pts usually. They're 50Q MC. She gives a review sheet with everything thats on the exam. Take good notes, read the chapters, an easy A. Lowest exam dropped. I could've failed two exams and had an A.
maaad easy
good class to take political Science
I LOVE HER! She's an awesome teacher and takes something kinda boring and makes it really interesting. She's totally fair and her tests are too. If you study you'll do well. She gives you many opportunities to do extra credit.And is always available for extra help.I wish all the professors were like her, she's great. I'd take her again in a hrtbt.
take it
Attendence = extra credit on your FINAL GRADE; Gives out extra credit before every test that is wicked easy; gives freebie questions on the tests; tests all multi choice and straight forward, she tells you what to study; bonus q's on tests too. NO WAY TO FAIL THS CLASS
Great note taking class, straight forward, smart and knows her stuff!, easy, nice, tests are wicked eassssy!
as long as you study fairly well for her exams and go to class you'll do well, she gives amazing notes and is just a really nice professor to begin with. she gives extra credit on every test and uses powerpoints with her lectures. take her even if you don't like political science, she'll make it easy for you.
I love this class. She is very nice, and knows how to teach. Her notes are straight foward, with no fluff. If something she's saying is not going to be on the test, she says so. Bonus questions on every test. I didn't do to well, but I blame myself and not her. Go to class, take notes, and study! I highly reccomend her class.
amazing teacher, knows her stuff, wants her students to do well, five exams total - lowest of first four dropped, also bonus questions on each exam - one of which she tells you - also another possible five bonus point assignment fo every exam; movie watched towards the end, actually talks and jokes with her classes; notes online
TAKE HER CLASS!!! You can pass in a coma! Easy grader and a very nice person. If for whatever reason you find something unclear she is very prompt about emailing you back! SERIOUSLY take this class with her!
super awesome professor. wish all professors were like her. best professor i've ever had. gives extra credit for attendance, extra credit before each of the 5 exams, along with extra credit on each exam. drops lowest exam grade. extremely down to earth. puts the information into an understandable and less boring manner than what it really is
Good teacher. The rest of the reviews say it, extra credit for attendance, extra credit for exams, extra credit city. You still need to try though, even with all the extra credit the most your going to rase each test score is 5pts and at the end of the semester POSSIBLY add 6-10 points to your final average.
she knows about this website and is determined to change her way of teaching from what students have said.. however, she's still really easy and as long as you do the work in the course you'll be fine. just make sure you know she isn't a push over! great professor, highly reccommended!
Wasn't interested in the subject at all...just a GER. She's wicked nice, knows what she's talking about, and she makes it simple to understand. Drops lowest test grade. Bridgewater's dumb for not asking her back.
Great teacher! she is very clair and encourages students to ask questions. Extra credit is given for HW and attendance! Strongly recomended.Drops lowest test grade. Knows what she is talking about!
All the other comments say it. Easy to do well, but if you don't do any work, you won't get an A. Material is interesting, and I had no interest in it prior to the class. Nice person. Liked her class a lot.
No Comments
A nice person but so far she's somehow managed to make a subject like Harry Potter both my hardest and most boring class. Very nit-picky and is never satisfied with anything you write until she's put it into her own, exact words..just doesn't like anybody's writing but her own it seems. Odd grader.
Nice, but probably the most horrible graders at BSC. I normally don't mind tough graders, but she just doesn't make sense and her corrections aren't justified. Deducts copious amounts of points for no reason (cites "poor word choice" on a whim), and contradicts herself constantly in her marks and her useless comment sheet. Awful.
Dr. Mogg is a great teacher. She really cares about her students doing well. She makes extra office hours and is super helpful!! Basically the class is read and write papers. She is a tough grader, but gives you many comments on how to improve. Your final grade is based on your improvement in the class. Def. TAKE HER! :)
all youdo is write a few papers.i had a B in the class until i forgot to do the final paper.oops.she is so hott. has a scandolous tat on her ankle that she loves to show off. i took her seminar ethics of harry potter and she came to class dressed as snape one day. she has a husband named dr. mogg..and i saw them hooking up before clone time hahaha
I had Mogg for my first year Harry Potter Seminar, it was the hardest class I have taken but she taught me the most. I thought I would end up with a C in the class but I got an A. if you set up meetings with her and go over your papers with her you will understand and it helps your grade its a class worth taking and extra credit if you attend class
i thought the harry potter class would be fun but its not. she is very nice...but the HARDEST grader ever. i never get below A's on writing assignments but this class is rediculous. grades based on improvement but still...its very discouraging the way she grades..
rediculous. do NOT take. hardest graders (her grades make no sense she just takes off points for stupid mistakes). said it would be graded based on improvement but thats not true.
interesting how there use to be several horrible comments about her on here but they were mysteriously reported and deleted. obviously we cant TRULY comment on how bad she is becuase she is reporting the true comments.
AVOID!!! half of the class is reading harry potter, the rest is reading artistotle (soo boring). she told us how we'd be graded..but wen our grades came out they were graded completely different than how she said they would be!!! i would NOT recommend
She is really kind and goes over everything we do. Tough grader, but gives loads of comments on how to improve and offers extra office hours. Nicest teacher!
Hard class, but makes it fun. Grades on improvement, gives 5 points on the entire grade just for missing 1 or no classes! Grading can be somewhat excessive, the rewrite chance netted me the same grade, even though I made the changes she recommended. I learned more in this class more than any other, but the courseload was HUGE!
I love Dr. Mogg!!!She is a great prof and you learn a lot from her. Her class is hard only if you don't follow what she says. Most helpful prof I've seen.Write down what she says in class the two days before the essay is due and you'll know exactly what to write! GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! Shes really nice and puts your essay exactly the way she wants
AVOID! thought the class would be fun..it was NOT. wayyy more aristotle than harry potter. she sed we'd be graded based on improvement for our end grade - NOT TRUE...she is a RIDICULOUS grader. makes no sense...most of the class failed the first essay of semester. AWFUL. wish i had not taken her
this class is only difficult because of how she grades papers. she grades very hard. she's a nice lady though
The worst professor i have ever taken. She is the hardest grader in the college and I am an accounting major that Had to taking intermediate accounting (one of the hardest classes here). she has a crazy theory that by weighting the later papers more thats scaling them but it just makes it impossible to do well in her class. DO NOT TAKE!!!
Harry Potter sounds easy, but it is not! Critics took the course thinking HP=easy A. Read the description! I worked hard to get the grade I did & did not mind putting in the effort. Go see her. She will explain to you exactly what she wants. P
She grades hard, but she tells you that outright. Overall, the class is difficult, but she makes Aristotle make more sense than he normally does. If you go to her extended office hours she really helps the most there, because its one on one and she reads your paper. I personally like her a lot.
Professor Mogg is amazing! Yes she's a tough teacher but she tells you straight out how she grades. As long as you take the time to do the work, you're golden. Also, go to class EVERY DAY! She adds 5 points to your final grade if you're there with one or no absences! She's a total sweetheart and if you have a lively class, it's better!
The reading is mandatory and you need to understand how to write and analytical essay, but as long as you put in the effort, you will pass. This lady is brilliant, all of the content is her own creation so she understands it through and through. If you're atrue Harry Potter fan and you want to learn new ways to interpret the books, TAKE THIS CLASS!
Amazing teacher i love her more then anything and she teaches you
I LOVE her! she is so nice, funny, and fun to talk to. yes you actually have to do work in her class but if you put effort in then she will help you. she has tons of extended office hours. i have her at 8 am & i always look forward to this class. my favorite class! DEFINITELY TAKE IF YOU ENJOY HARRY POTTER
She is AMAZING! Such a good professor. Really current, fun and insightful. She offers TONS of office hours at the Better Bean outside her normal hours especially when papers are due and she emails you back feedback to drafts if you want... so take advantage and you will be golden!
TAKE PROFESSOR MOGG! I love this woman to death, she is such a wonderful person and professor! She's my favorite professor at BSU. Extremely helpful, fun, and very clear with what she expects. As long as you do the work, her class is AMAZING!!!
So nice to share a love of Harry Potter and Aristotle with such a nice professor. It's not an easy A. You can't just watch the movies and slide by, but if you do the readings and take notes in class you'll be fine. She helps improve your writing a lot and is so approachable for extra help.
TAKE PROFESSOR MOGG! She was my favorite professor freshman year. she is a hard grader but she's fair. her class is interesting and she helps you to be able to pass. plus she's cool and relaxed!!
She is an amazing teacher! I learned so much. The class is hard so don't expect to walk in and breeze by, you need to put effort in. If you go to her office hours she will help you and walk you through every step. She is extremely helpful and has a genuine interest in her student. I highly recommend her!
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Extremely funny, nice, and understanding. Subject can be a little difficult at first, but once she's gone over it it's crystal clear. She is very understanding and super intelligent. We got 6 excused absences, and received extra credit for not missing class. I recommend her very very much.
One of the best classes I have taken. She's a hard grader but if you do your work and keep up on the readings you'll do fine.
Dr. Mogg is the best professor I have had a BSU. She is a very tough grader, but attending her office hours and doing the assignments, while trying your best, all of her classes are great!!
I had DrMogg for "Ethics of Harry Potter" & do not be fooled-this is not an easy class on the Boy Who Lived. She's cool, the class isn't completely boring, but do not expect to do well on essays without serious effort. This woman grades as if she is JK Rowling herself and it's frustrating. Go to office hours & if you get better than a C congrats.
Dr. Mogg is an awesome! Truthfully, she is a tough grader but the comments she writes help. She offers office hours and extends them for papers. Your final grade is based on improvement. She wants you do to well, and is passionate. You get out what you put into this class. Keep in mind this is both ARISTOTLE and Harry Potter. I would take again.
Adore this woman!! She'll change your life. I even go over her house sometimes for a book club she started! This course is so enjoyable and thought-provoking, yes you have to work but you'll love every minute of it. Even if you're wrong about something, she values your thoughts. She's just such a great person.
I took her Hunger Games class last semester. The class is tough, but she truly wants you to do well. You shouldn't take the class thinking it's an easy A, it's a writing intensive course so what do you expect? I enjoyed the class & I feel like I am a better writer because of her. Put in the effort & you'll get an A. Would take another class w/her
Has the absolute best attendance policy. Do not skip class. Books are essential.
Dr. Mogg was a really good teacher. She is a total nerd and really passionate about Harry Potter. She gave good feedback and was willing to help with all papers. My only complaint was that she gave group online assignments and sometime people wouldn't post on time which was annoying but overall she was a really good teacher.
Loved her. Very personable.
Dr. Mogg is amazing. She has high expectations for papers but gives good feedback to help you along. If you put effort into her class, you will get a lot out of it. I was more challenged by her Hunger Games course than any other class I've taken, it is also the best course I've ever taken. I wish I could take it again.
This class focused on my 2 biggest kryptonites: philosophy, and analytical papers. I'm the one who signed up wicked late, so I can't get mad. She's a friendly person, very approachable, and pretty quick to respond to emails. If you're a part of the same fandoms she's in, then you'll have a great time. Still a ridiculously tough grader..
Really good at explaining the material, gives great feedback on papers. Really knows how to make philosophy interesting and understandable.
A high quality educator.
I took Dr Mogg's marvel class and loved it. You write 4-5 essays in the semester based on the Marvel movies and what you learn from Aristotle/Mill. She takes attendance and if you have 0-1 absences, 5 points are added to your final grade. I did really well on her essays but people in my class got 60's and didn't know why. ill be taking her again.
She was an awesome philosophy teacher and did a good job at explaining the material. Although she was a very tough grader (mainly for essays). As long as you do all the online assignments and readings you should easily be able to pass!
Dr. Mogg isn't the best lecturer (reads from book & unfocused & lacks planned material) but is knowledgeable. She is personable & approachable. Often she spends class time on other things (current events, current box office offerings, ect). While I think being a personable professor is admirable, to spend most of class meetings on these is inapt.
Dr. Mogg is an overall difficult teacher, but the course I took was writing intensive. If you're looking for an easy A do not take her class, and I'm sure my time would have been better if it weren't at 8am on MWF. I took Ethics of Harry Potter, and it is overall fun and I recommend.
I took the Ethics of Harry Potter class. I thought this would be an easy-a HOWEVER, please remember that this is a class based on Aristotle's Philosophy! many people struggled because of this. Despite that, I really loved how Dr. Mogg taught and explained everything. the grading for the essays is ridiculously difficult so be prepared.
She seems to know what she's talking about. However, she has a tendency to explain the philosophy portions TO DEATH--- like spending 20 minutes on one sentence of Aristotle. It isn't even in a productive way. She just spends almost all of the time coming up with 4-5 different anecdotes that all illustrate the same point.
Three papers and a final paper. No midterm or final exam. You must have a copy of the assigned books. No tests or quizzes. Attendance is mandatory. If you're taking her Harry Potter/ Marvel/ Hunger Games class, you should watch the movies or knows the story. You'll watch them in class, but knowing about the characters will help the papers a lot.
Professor Mogg is what I consider the ideal professor. Many of the reviews mention she is a tough grader. This is true, BUT, she gives you the opportunity to submit an essay outline to her, which she gives TONS of feedback on! Also, if you miss 0-5 classes, you get 1-5 points added to your final grade. She is an amazing professor and very helpful!
grading criteria is super unclear and it can lead to many papers resulting in an F. Tried to have a sit down session and she is very tough to work with. Not much work but the essays alone would take days. Would only recommend to very skilled writers with understandings of philosophy.
Very hard grader. If you can write papers well and like to read the related material relevant to the class then youll like it. It wasnt for me because I am not the best at writing papers. I got 2 Fs out of 3 papers. Overall shes nice but you seriously have to be ready to spend time reading and writing.
Dr. Mogg is an amazing professor. She understands what shes teaching and will gladly help in anyway that she can. I loved her Marvel class & I would absolutely take her class again. The work load is normal & as long as you pay attention and do the work, youll easily pass. Explains lessons very clearly & an overall amazing professor.
Prof Mogg is a nice person but her class is no joke. Be prepared to read 24/7 and write papers. Throughout the class i thought i was grasping the material and doing well but i was wrong. When i got my essays back they were almost always wrong and shes fairly unclear about what she wants in them. Other than that she was pretty nice/easygoing.
Professor Mogg takes your progression in writing into consideration which I found extremely helpful. Just remember to read what's assigned and put the Aristotle chapters into your own words through notes. Also, attend lectures, it's worth it.
I really enjoyed being in Dr. Mogg's class. It is one I really wish I was able to experience in person and in a classroom. This is a writing intensive course. I do not recommend this class if you do not like to write. Kind of a tough grader. Dr. Mogg is very intelligent and creative. I took her Marvel class and she made Aristotle very interesting.
Dont let the flashy pop culture disguises fool you, Dr. Moggs classes are full blown philosophy and the material is super challenging if you havent taken these kinds of classes before. If youre not understanding it from the beginning do your self a favor and drop early, she takes no prisoners with her grading.
Dr. Mogg is good professor but I think she is one of those professors that thinks because we are doing an online class she needs to assign more work. Lots of online assignments and quizzes, most of which feel like busy work. Only three essays and you get to rewrite them after her feedback which is nice, but it can be a lot of work. Lots of reading.
Professor Mogg is by far the best professor I have taken a class with she is so caring and makes the subject matter super interesting. In her first year seminar the allows you to rewrite all of your essays for a better grade using the feedback she gives you. I am taking another class with her next semester, take her if you can!
This is my second time taking a class with professor Mogg and she is so sweet and cares a lot about her students. She assigns a lot of reading and papers but her lectures assist all of it so they're not too difficult and she gives great feedback for improvement.
Fun class since we got to watch some Marvel movies. You need to buy textbook since you use it for everything. Prepare for lots of reading, she gives great feedback on papers I recommend.
Great professor for Philosophy. She is a bit lecture-heavy but tends to wind it down with a lot of real-life stories or examples that play into Aristotle. During the Fall semester of 2021, she had a lot of family stuff going on and had to cancel a class a couple of times, but she still was available for help. Assignments and essays are good as well
Did not enjoy the class at all. Three papers for the semester holding all the weight. without warning very tough grader will take a lot of points off for grammar before she dives into tearing apart your paper. She will get off topic a lot during lectures. Make sure you do all readings tough to stay on top of it but will pay off for the essays.
Mogg is super funny and kind, her classes are super enjoyable, some of the grading criteria is a bit unclear but she holds conferences and is helpful then. She does very well at taking confusing passages and putting them into modern day scenarios. Philosophy is super difficult for me but she is super helpful and is good at responding to any emails.
Her work is doable, but she is specific on grading certain parts of essays and assignments. Take if you understand philosophy well because your prior knowledge matters.
Good lectures, just make sure to do the reading beforehand as both are necessary to get the material. She gets off topic at times but it's generally a fun and welcoming environment. If you're not a writer you might struggle with this class as it's essay-heavy. But hey, you get to write essays about the MCU, so it's pretty good.
just a difficult class not helped by her
Not really about marvel at all. You watch the movie for a week and the following 4 weeks after are about aristotle, and before the next movie you write a paper. If you like philosophy this class fits you. Lectures can be very long.
very confusing grader who gets mad at the class when we don't understand something. she is a nice lady but not the best teacher. too many essays that are graded weirdly and nothing is really about the MCU. good luck if you take her.
Very fun and relatable person when she wants to be, but can turn her mood in a split second. Gets mad at the class for not understanding when she just talks and talks for 50 minutes and expects us to absorb any of it. Confusing grader, and super strict about writing. You watch 3 Marvel films and write a four-page paper on each one.
She is a very funny and kind professor, ask her about her cats!! She's very passionate about what she does and sometimes rambles during class if you allow her too, but I think its what makes her fun. Get ready to write and read.
She's terrible don't take her unless you want to have no idea what you're learning and have to study everything outside of class. She doesn't even teach the class, all she does is rant and talk about her pets. I can't even sit in class for 20 minutes without wanting to blow my head off with a shotgun
Mogg's class is engaging, though grading can be finicky. Lectures can be long but she brings philosophy to life with real-world examples. Consider using unstuck AI alongside the textbook for helpful study prep.
She doesnt stop talking. I walk into the class and its literally non stop yapping about the most boring non sense since stuff ever. Wanna fall asleep fast? Take this course!
i'd rather be in jail
This course is interesting but also kinda hard to understand, especially if you're not into Aristotle like me. It's essay heavy, so you write three essays in the class. If you want a good grade, follow the instructions exactly, and when she gives feedback, use it, because she's basically giving you the answers.That's how you'll pass :)
Dr. Mogg is awesome super personable. I plan on taking her Y2 seminar. The OLA grading is on completion but other grading is unclear. Best advice...DO ALL YOUR READINGS. I like how her textbook is inexpensive so no excuse not to read it. She's very reachable out of class. She breaks down Aristotle very well. I highly recommend as a freshman.
great teacher, great person. respect her and she'll respect you
Dr. Mogg is an AMAZING professor!! She is funny during lectures, remembers your name if you talk after class, and her essays are straightforward. Her grading is lenient. Even if you don't know much about Marvel beforehand, the class is definitely doable. She is aware about your other classes' workloads too. WOULD RECOMMEND TAKING IF POSSIBLE!
