She is a great teacher...Very laid back class and a great class to meet friends and study groups. She may pick favorites in the class, so as long as you ask questions she'll like you. Tests aren't hard if you study; but they can be a little tricky at times. Overall, great teacher.

she's really cool but my gripe is with the work...like these tests if you get on thing wrong you drop to and 80,hard to ask anyone to be perfect,then her exams were tricky but the final wasn't which led me to believe that the other classes had exams more straight-forward which i would have done well in,beware of freshmen you'll feel like highschool

She is so nice. She does give a extra test so you can drop the lowest. Be careful though the final is hard as hell and she didnt give that much direction. But if you ask she will give extra credit that will help alot. She will boost your grade if you do the smallest extra credit assigment.

She is very nice. Only two exams (midterm and final). Her outlines for the chapters are very helpful, so don't be lazy to copy them from the board. She doesn't give you information that you don't have to know for the exams and gives you particular topics to study. I wish all professors were as nice, helpful and able to teach the way she does.

Professor Juliet Folks is not bad. But literally all she does is read from the textbooks, and then says in other words even though it isn't necessary because the text is overly simple.

There are 2 midterm, a final, 5 homework, mindtap, and an extra credit assignment. You get credit for the homework and mindtap as long as you do it. She drops the lowest of the two midterm, and she does review for the midterm and final. Final is easy if you show up for the review and study the things on her study guide.

She is truly the best. Took her during summer and I really enjoyed her class. The lectures were great and she explains in a way that makes you understand the material. This class should be very easy if you simply read the textbook and understand it. Take her during the summer; I don't see the point of taking this during a regular semester.

Here's the deal: Professor Folks is simply amazing. She is a great professor, and she really tells you what you need to know for the exams. You can really relate to her as a normal human being, and not just see her as another professor. We only really have two midterms, a final, 5 homeworks, and some mindtap assignments. Folks is just amazing.

I wish I had her in person! Her lectures were interesting and her assignments were easy and few (perfect combo). She offers multiple extra credits, which is amazing and her tests are straight forward. She even gives you a review sheet! Honestly, a solid choice, would retake again if she offered a class for Law & Policy minor.

In terms of actually teaching, professor folks is good. However, a good teacher won't correlate to good grades. Professor Folks has difficult quizzes/tests so even if you immensely study, the chances of you receiving an A only slightly improve. Folks is unclear in her assignments and will gaslight you into thinking you're at fault when she is.

Make sure you ask clarifying questions during the exams because she can make mistakes and which question is worth A LOT of points.
