Let me start by saying this is an easy class, tests aren't bad, but there are surprise quizzes and assignments which are a little time consuming. Ms Lantrip can be pretty cool, but can also be condescending and a little rude. She is a lawyer an acts like one(that isn't a compliment). I suppose she is fine for some people, but wasn't my cup of te
she is very sweet. you do have to study but her test are pretty straight forward. she did give a very difficult assingment,but she doesnt grade hard.
Tests are straightforward, weekly assignments that were about U.S. Gov't., and it was a Texas Gov't. class. Weekly quizzes. She is helpful but occassionally makes you feel stupid. She does come across as condescending and fake. Overall, you do learn a lot and the class is fairly easy if you are willing to put in the time it takes.
She is a wonderful teacher who is always willing to help if you just ask. Fairly easy tests as long as you showed up for class and took notes. This is especially important because she will discuss current events in class and put them on the test. It is a wonderful and easy class as long as you show up.
Didnt like her class! She talks too fast and there are alot of assignments! Doesnt allow late work and make up assignments are difficult! Makeup exam is essay form! She loves govt but she was a lawyer and doesnt really have sympathy! i wouldnt recommend her sorry!
lectures like she drinks monsters for a hobby but keeps it fun shes into what she teaches and she does not care what excuse you have on a late assg. but would recommend
She is WAY too excited about government. She teaches the class like it's kindergarten, always making you group up and do stupid projects. She forces you to express your political views in class which I'm pretty sure is a violation of privacy and really sucks when you're pretty much the only one in class w/ those views. Would't reccommend her class.
Class is great. She is passionate about government and makes it fun. You do crazy in class activities that I liked, but some people may not. I left knowing a lot about Texas Government, and it was a really easy A.
I took her online Government Class. For me, her quizzes killed. Not because they were super hard, but because they were only 10 questions- all true/false. The questions are worded tricky and sometimes don't seem to come from anything we've covered. Not a bad teacher.
Took her online class and must say I learned many new things from Prof. Lantrip class. She is very passionate about this subject and is an excellent instructor. The quizzes and exams are very difficult and have many trick questions. Advice is to study and know the lecture notes to do well on the quizzes and test. She has no tolerance for late assig
Took her class online, it was not hard but was not easy. I got a B in the class but did not study or put real time and effort into it. I did learn some things about government and it helped to prepare me for Govt 2306. She did respond quickly to my email and tried to help me. I would recommend her.
Not too bad of an online class. The quizzes are pretty hard. Not because of content, but because of tricky worded questions. Also, there are lots of assignments and discussion board posts to do, which get pretty annoying. But ok, due to the fact she drops 1 test, and 3 quizzes. Overall its better than having to show up for a on-campus class.
I took both Govt. classes with her, and she is an awesome teacher. She's not incredibly easy, but if you at least try, you'll get a good grade. Attending class is a must because she covers a lot between the classes, but it's worth it. She only drops 1 assignment, and you have to be in class to turn it in, but the assignments were fairly easy.
Very Good Teacher, she is passionate, timely and respectful. Not an easy A, her notes/lectures are good. You must spend time with the material. Assignments are time consuming, lots of papers and discussion boards, requires all work to be posted to turnitin.com (free)kinda of a pain, but very helpful. I enjoyed this online class, would recommend!
She writes on the board and it looks like chicken scratch. she answers questions with questions. The book is useless because you can find all the answers online. It is also expensive and non returnable. I had to go home and teach myself after every class. overall I would suggest taking her class online because on campus is a waste of time
I took this class online and let me just say this, SHE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT! you better know what your doing because if you do not then you are gonna have a hard time on her exams. You don't have a choice, you must read the chapters! If you don't then good luck. she makes the questions difficult.
Took this class online. She was helpful, sent out emails every week of what needed to be done. Her reviews were extremely helpful. Yes you have to read the chapters, why wouldn't you? The chapters are about 30pgs long and are boring but if you work hard, it's an easy A.
I recommend her to anyone that has to take government. Her tests are a little hard, but if come to class everyday it definitley matters and she does not have any problems of helping you out with the exam reviews.
Good things first. She is extremely helpful and takes the time to explain all the basics to the subject. Extra credit is available along with bonus questions on the multiple choice tests. The only thing I didn't like was her style of teaching, she enjoys getting the classroom involved and getting peoples opinions. All in all-I would recommend.
I highly recommend this teacher for Government. I have very little interest in this subject, but she manages to make the subject more fun and at the same time teaches why it is important to me in the real world. Fun class. Not hard.
Lots of busy work. Does not help with notes if you miss any days so attendance is crucial to pass tests. Knows her stuff and is passionate about Government but not an easy class to take if you don't like lots of busy work and in-class assignments.
Alot to do for her online class. Not the easiest class I have taken. Make sure that you turn everything in very early because if not your screwed.
He online class is not easy. You have to turn in you assignment into 2 different places, if you foget to turn it in on one of the website s and not the other you will get a 0 even though you may have uploaded it already to one of the aites.
She made TX Govt fun and interesting. Definitely go to class because there are a bunch of in class assignments. I will take her again for US Govt.
Great teacher. She really knows about government and how to get you interested and involved. I liked the class because it was not all bookwork, lots of current events. Keep up with assignments and this class is not hard.
Govt bores me but this class was interesting. Good teacher. Helpful, responds fast. Did online class. Will need book. 4 units, 3 Lessons per unit, test for each lesson, 1 unit test that covers all lesson's in unit. 1 Discussion post, 2 discussion response post for each unit. Read chapters, read her handout notes, watch links and you should pass.
Online class is pretty easy. She did a great job in her lecture notes.
The professor is very, very excited to teach. She has a personal interest in the field and is kept up-to-date with the current events. She is goes into depth to try to explain the minor differences in different areas and tries hard to make sure the topic is understood.
No text book. Notes are copied from pp. There are a couple projects, but you can just do a current event. She gives grades for little in class asignments, so that's one reason it is good to go to class. Overall it was a pretty easy class.
Fun class, Powerpoint driven.
Attendance, book and studying is a MUST. She is very passionate about what she teaches. She helps you and is willing to work with you. Loved her, it was pretty easy just don't slack off! Definitely recommend her
Her quizzes are pretty easy as long as you read the review summary for each quiz and use the book for the vocab words you should pass. THE TESTS ARE HARD, or so I thought. They're mostly true/false. Two discussion boards and 5+ points extra credit at the end if you choose to do it. She's nice and responds to emails quickly.
Horrible teacher! Don't take her online classes in the summer. You only have 20 min for her quizzes and her test are hard!!! I don't recommend her at all!
She is very good instructor. I took her online class, and you have to be self driven. Her class is not a easy class but as long as you read the material and do the lessons you will do great. There are about 13 quizzes and 4 exams that include the final.
She is a very helpful teacher. I took her online class. She is very passionate about what she does. Book is Mandatory! Fairly easy class, I missed quizzes and tests and passed with a high B. Stay on top of your work and study and you'll pass.
Her online lectures are super, very interesting. You have to read the book for the tests but the lectures are good for the tests, too. If you put forth the effort, you can get an A. I would take this professor again.
Very knowledgable and passionate during lectures. Lecture based tests so attending often helps. As long as you do the review the tests are easier.
She is so afraid of cheating. I have taken many online classes and never dealt with this. Deadlines are not for the working person. One mistake or internet failure and you miss an A by .3! Everything else was great but she needs to lighten up.
This teacher is focus mainly on cheating than if the student is actually understanding the assignment. Each week a chapter quiz is due and after 3 quizzes an exam is provided. Can't see mistakes or questions missed after each quiz/exam because of her no cheating policy. ONLY allowed up to 3 resets per semester if exams/quizzes have technical issue
Instructor is very open about what you need to do to achieve a good grade. Information was clear and concise. Would definitely recommend again. No opportunity to review answers after quizzes or tests which was challenging but still a great online summer course. Definitely take this course if you need this credit!
Loved this prof. She had so much energy. She made learning tx govt fun. I'm so glad I got her. I'm an older student, she was willing to help and go the extra mile to make sure I knew how to "turn it in .com" She was very excited about you learning. If you go to class and take good notes you will get an A. And there is extra credit every week.
I really enjoyed this teachers style of instruction. It was a low key class over the summer and she gave a couple of resets on quizzes if something happened (unlike some instructors).. This was the perfect summer class. Few papers and quizzes, that if you applied yourself, were easily passed! Thanks Mrs. Lantrip for the awesome class!
Awesome teacher. I took her for both TX and US gov just because I loved her class so much. Most people have said it all already. Fun, energetic, passionate, and willing to help.
Great teacher! willing to help and makes a dry subject like government fun. I will definitely take her again for Texas Government.
I was kind of worried after reading the reviews before I registered for this class. Ms. Lantrip is very straight forward and gives you plenty time to complete assignments. She is open to emails which she replies back to quickly. I didn't want to sit through a two hour summer class that I wasn't interested in. Overall not a bad class.
I took this class online during the summer. It is a very easy class and she is very helpful! She drops 1 of 4 tests and 3 of 12 quizzes. She also grades test on a curve! She is a tough grader on the 1 discussion board. But all in all this class was an easy A!
Took the 6 week summer course and I was really worried at first but ended up not being as hard as I thought. The quizzes are mostly about definitions so study them and a few true/false questions. Tests are much harder. She gives you all the info you need to new in her review sheets.
I'm not much of a history person, but she's my favorite professor I've had out of the four history classes total that I've taken. Assignments in class are mostly participating grades, and there are around four tests over the semester. She's easy to listen to and is always available to help! Reviews are exactly what will be on the test.
Shes a funny teacher and not very strict. Many times she said one thing and did another though so make sure you ask her more than once what is extra credit and what is and is not needed. Notes everyday but has a power point to follow. Study, study, study for test and they'll be easy,
She is such a sweetheart! Nicest teacher I've ever had! She makes her lectures interesting and is very fun. Exams are based on lecture, don't bother buying the book. You will make a good grade if you take good notes on what she SAYS during lectures (hardly anything written on powerpoints) and study the notes before the test. Definitely recommend!
I LOVED her! She made government interesting! Prepare to take notes on what she SAYS! The powerpoints don't tell you anything! Her tests are EASY, if you pay attention. No need to really study either. DO NOT buy the textbook, waste of money! She always started class 5 minutes late, and we got out 10 minutes early! Which is a plus!
Great Professor! Class can be a bit boring if you are not interested in politics. She tries to make the class more interesting. Her slides gives little to no information, so you must attend this class or you will fail. Participating in lectures will make it easier and more interesting.
Great Professor. Lectures were easy to follow, but you must take good notes. Book not needed. Her tests are lecture based ,and provides reviews. She is very energetic and ALWAYS willing to help. Only way you would get an A is if you go to class take good notes and ask questions if you're not understanding. Learned a lot and would recommend her!
I took her class online, and I felt like she did a great job making it interesting. I was dreading this class, but she made it enjoyable. She emails back quickly, and is very polite. You take a quiz over material each week, so pay attention. She gives great summaries of the chapters, and extra resources. I would take her again.
Very easy A for a required Govt credit. Syllabus, directions and course layout are crystal clear. Three lessons per unit, four units total. Quiz for every lesson and exam for every unit. Drops 3 quizzes and 1 exam. Also extra credit quiz at the end. One current event discussion board and 2 responses. Easy but very informative class.
Great prof. Easy class with the whole semester being laid out for you in the syllabus. I would take her again! Easy A.
She was by far my FAVORITE teacher this semester. Ms. Lantrip is so passionate about her job (you can tell from her notes) she actually ended up making me passionate about politics as well. Don't overlook the notes she gives you, they're vital to passing the quizzes/exams. Amazing class!
Dr. Lantrip is the best. She doesn't assign much work, just lots to read. Her quizzes are short and simple. She's very understanding and gives you the time of day. She's very knowledgeable!
Lantrip is a nice teacher, however if you have other classes or a job or both, this is not the class you want to take because her class is a lot of reading and studying. I wouldn't take her no more. Worry about cheating than anything.
Professor Lantrip is an amazing Professor who truly cares about her students and makes Government super enjoyable. I took the class online and everything was well organized. She is quick to respond to emails and allows 3 resets for test or quizzes just in case you fail it bad the first time around. Do the work and you will be fine! Highly recommend
Professor Lantrip cares about her students and gives you plenty of opportunities to succeed. She gives extra credit, 3 resets on Qs, drops 2 quizzes & 1 test. Highly recommend taking her blended class! Enjoyed her lectures bc they are interactive, and she relates everything we talk about to a current event. I hate govt but really enjoyed her class!
Her class was a blended class so we only meet once a week and on the other day that we didn't meet we took a quiz online. Her class is so interesting and really enjoyed her class. Will be taking her for Texas Gov. Her notes are so funny.
Took this class online so no face-time, but her online instructions and updates are fun and inspiring. Her passion for material and teaching is VERY evident. Drops low grades and has extra credit. Not saying the material or tests are easy, but if you put in the effort, this class is not really that tough. Take her class you won't be disappointed
I made an A, but I wasn't too interested in this class. I just don't like government.
Her lecturers are awesome; she makes Texas government come alive. She uses Power Point presentations. 4 exams last one partially cumulative, multiple choice. Quizzes can be taken from anything she covers in class. 2 written assignments an issue & a proceeding. Used web site called Turn it In. In-class activities. Personal & professional.
Government is not my cup of tea. Going in i was really nervous about this class. Mrs, Lantrip is an excellent Instructor. She responds to emails in a timely manner and was very nice when I needed help. Very entertaining lesson notes, she has a good sense of humor. Would definitely take again .
Would highly recommend. She makes lectures interesting and i never felt bored in the class. She makes sure you understand and if you don't just ask and she will try to explain a different way. Gives reviews and has review sessions outside of class which is helpful. Gives extra credit opportunities as well. TAKE HER YOU WONT REGRET IT
Very enthusiastic about government, and presents it so you can be too. Encourages you to get involved as an American. After this class it sparked a bit of patriotism in me :) She really knows her stuff and will happily answer questions. Wish there was another class I could have taken from her. No textbook, provides what you need online
I took this class online and it is a pretty easy class, there are 4 exams, 1 dropped. 13 quizzes, 3 dropped. and 2 discussion boards that are actually like papers. She uploads a review packet that has all the answers in it so it is very easy to pass. The discussion boards are a big pain! but everything else is easy!
Very informative and related every lesson to a current event.
I took this class online summer 1 of 2017. Super easy class. You do not need the book at all. Everything for tests and quiz are in her PDF lesson packets. There are 4 exams, 1 lowest dropped. 13 quizzes, 3 lowest dropped automatically. and 2 discussion boards that are pretty in depth discussions and require citing and research. Gives extra credit.
She seemed very nice & was happy to help. My main issue was her giving us 35 minutes on her 25 question exams.. Not even two minutes per question. I understand she's worried about cheating, but that was hardly enough time to read the question aloud & do the process of elimination. Also her expectations on discussion boards were kind of ridiculous.
Blended classes are amazing! gives the entire semester online with timed quizzes and online review. Emails back quick! hilarious! easy class long as you do the work on blended days. def worth taking again!
Professor Lantrip was a great teacher. I learned so much about Government, in a fun, constructive way. Highly recommend.
She is the Pre Law advisor so the theme of the class is law heavy. If you are interested in the legal system then this class is amazing!
I took her class during a 4 week mini-mester and it was great! She is clear in her instruction, she is responsive and always willing to clarify anything. 13 lessson quizzes (which 3 lowest get dropped) and 4 Unit quizzes (which 1 lowest grade gets dropped) and 2 discussion boards. Lots of easy extra credit points as well! Great class and teacher
I took her online class for an second time. First time, I made a B. I drop out of her class the second time because it was way to much. The test are timed and you can't go back and change your answer. The content was all over the place. I would rather take another professor instead.
I loved professor Lantrip! I had her for a blended government class so I only went once a week and I still learned a lot from her! Her notes are long but have all the information you need to ace her exams. She has fun days were you do like a "mock government" during class and it actually helps you understand all the powers, rules and ect. Love her
The professor herself is pretty good. The course is difficult. Beware of in class group projects every week. She makes you find people you don't know everytime so not everyone participates and they still get a 100. I Found the tests confusing but a friend of mine is making A's. She holds you in class the entire time.
Her class is super easy! We do have a couple in class assignments that we do with a group, but its never a weekly thing. The majority of the time she just lectures, and typically lets us out 10-15 minutes early. She has in class quizzes that you take the class period before the test, also shes big on no phones, laptops... overall great!
12 lesson quizzes, 4 unit quizzes,2 discussion boards & Optional extra credit quiz. She is an easy grader & gives good feedback on d.b, as well as, the opportunity to correct mistakes made on D.B. No book required, she provides it all &there was a few videos we had to watch. She replies to emails promptly. I would definitely take her again!!!
Took for Tx Government. Professor is very knowledgeable, helpful and gradeing is clear. No book needed,so save ur $$$ also she is the pre law club sponsor
Took the blended course option so classes met once a week and then she assigned reading from an e-book that she provides. Tests are fairly easy, just require some light studying. Final can count as a dropped test grade. Very good teacher, would definitely recommend her
Took her during the summer and the class was quite difficult. You cannot go back one you are on the next question on the test OR quiz. You really have to pay attention on the PowerPoint notes, but there is no textbook required.
NOT recommend for online course. Quiz: 20 mins for 10 questions. Exam: 35mins for 20 questions. You cannot copy question to google it. If you're a hardworking students, you will learn A LOT; otherwise, you cannot easily get an A.
Took a blended course and it was super easy, only essays no homework or exams, she goes over what she wants you to do on your essay and if you're not happy with your grade she'll let you redo it for a better grade, and essays aren't long ones either, highly recommend her she's super sweet and easy class to take
took her for a blended course, very easy you have quizzes on blackboard for the blended class and no homework other than that, she gives you review for the exam and what on it will be on the exam, her exam are multiple choice and does give extra credit, her lectures are great and you have group activity that you must attend class for but easy class
She is pretty laid back and doesn't give too much work, but is pretty strict on what she expects from you on her DB. She has a quiz due once a week and doesn't require a text book. Her Unit quizzes are tough but not too bad, you can get an easy B/A if you just pay attention.
I enjoyed my time with Professor Lantrip. She is an extremely hilarious person, and always utilizes past experiences to further our understanding of the content. Her class is fairly easy, and I would recommend to anyone.
She is one of the best Professors I've taken. I highly recommend taking her. She is reasonable, makes her online lectures really interesting and tries to go above and beyond the normal lecture to make it fun and humorous. I needed a few extensions on things due to tech issues & she completely understood and granted me extensions. Very nice as well.
I love her so much and she is nice professor. I thought that I need textbook but she did not requires textbook which is great save your money.
Amazing teacher! Took her during the summer and she was very easy. Just act like a decent college student and do the work and you'll pass. She drops 3 quizzes and 1 exam. Take her you won't regret it!
I love Julie so much!!! She is great professor and I would take her again if I want to. I have her blended class so it is really easy to me.
I really enjoy her class. I took her blended class and it was really easy to me. The quizzes, discussion board, and other homework. She will grade your assignments too.
I would take her again, but not in an accelerated class, especially during the holidays. The material is pretty easy, but she gives a lot of work. If you're looking for a professor whose class you can blow through quickly, she is not the one.
I took Dr. Lantrip for dual credit fed govt my senior year of high school, and the class itself was pretty straightforward, although there was a lot of notes to read. It was fully online and it helped me save time and money.
Gives EC, drops 3 quizzes & 1 unit exam. Straightforward & accessible. It's time consuming because the unit notes are lengthy. If you read the notes & genuinely pay attention to what you're reading, you'll ace the class. She's very passionate about government and wants to help you. She does not grade harshly on discussion boards. Wintermester 2019.
Professor Lantrip did an amazing job at tailoring the class for an online setting. Notes are clear and to the point. Unit exams are open note and very doable. Discussion boards do take a while but they go over very interesting topics. 4 units with 3 lessons each and 4 discussions. 3 lesson quizzes, 1 unit exam and 2 discussion boards dropped.
She is an amazing professor! You have to do two discussion boards (out of 4) or all 4 depending on if you're happy with your grade on them. She gives several quizzes but as long as you read the material you will be fine. I took this class in the summer and I'm so glad I did. She is super helpful and really wants you to do well. Take her!
I took her for 5 week summer course. She is great, no textbook required, she provided a study guide and her own lessons which are very fun to read. 4 discussion boards (2 lowest get dropped, so you only need 2 good ones). 4 exams(lowest dropped) , 13 quizzes (3 lowest dropped). It is an easy A as long as you read her material which is entertaining.
Dr. Lantrip was my first college professor ever, when I began her class I was dealing with having COVID, moving, and various other stressful things. She always gave me extensions when needed and always genuinely responded with kind and caring words. Many assignments are dropped and the class is weighted so one bad unit quiz won't kill your grade.
She's the best. Easy assignments, plenty of extra credit, drops your lowest scoring assignments, wonder feedback, the rubrics provided and easy grader. As long as you take the tests on time, and do half of your assignments you'll pass with an easy A.
Dr. Lantrip is amazing. She is so understanding of various situations the students may be in. She made the lessons fun and easy to read, and the tests are fairly straightforward if you read the lessons. Definitely would take her again.
I've had Dr. Lantrip multiple times now, she is always cooperative, caring, and tries to meet the student's needs or at least hear out their situation. She is there if anyone ever needs to talk, and her classes aren't easy, but she goes in depth when lecturing and makes it easy to understand the content. Her reviews are great!
I LOVED Professor Lantrip. When choosing government professors, it can be really hard to learn about the government when their biases get in the way. Professor Lantrip did a really good job of just teaching the facts about the government and did not push her own opinion down your throat. She really wants you to succeed and prepares you for exams.
Professor Lantrip is not bad however she is not lenient either I would say she's in the middle. She was a great teacher whatsoever but I did get a B in her class but she does round your grade if it's .5 I recommend taking her class actually not bad.
Professor Lantrip is awesome, I took her online maymester class and it felt like a physical class because she was always available to answer questions and reply emails. Use the resources she provides they are very helpful if you take out time to study them. Put in the work and you will get an A.
Professor Lantrip was my favorite online professor! She was very understanding and caring with all her students. What I loved most was that she had personalized notes and lectures each week which helped me learn much more than a standard textbook. I would recommend everyone to take her!
I ended up with an 102. a lot of reading but enjoyable. Always ready to help students. I was always emailing her and she was so supportive. Extra credit is available. This is online 4-wk course. There opportunities for drops. Notes on quizzes. No paid textbook. She passionately writes notes herself. TAKE DR. LANTRIP!
Great online class.
Professor Lantrip makes this online class super engaging. The study resources she provides, like the helpful course material and unstuck ai, make it easy to succeed if you put in the work. As long as you stay on top of assignments, this is an easy A.
She's a good professor, good for grading and such. One thing I didn't like was when she involved using AI in our assignments... Perplexity. The use of AI was way too much for my liking, and wanted extra proof to make sure your work is/was authentic.. I thought it was rude of her to say *Goodluck with the Cybersecurity*..
