This Professor has had a minimum of 9 graded assignments per week (NOT INCLUDING THE READING) so far and I am only halfway through the course. No lengthy quizzes but a lot of busywork with so many links on D2L that it gets confusing. I have spent a minimum of 10 hours a week studying for this class alone. Takes a long time to input grades as well.

First of all, she grades by letters. Which by itself sucks. She also gives to many assignments that leave you feeling stressed. Also thinks its okay to assign 5-8 page essays that are due in a weeks time? You do not even get this much work at a real university much less in person school. Do not pick this professor!!

Okay first of all, she grades by letters, which is super confusing and stressful, EVERY SINGLE assignment counts for a grade, which could either help or reck or grade. She also is super unclear about instructions so its hard to do assignments. She also assigns essays and projects to be finished in weeks time, leaving students very stressed out.

She never uploads her work on time and when she does, she gives little time to complete them. She also is not up to date with your grading so you never know your class grade and or receive feedback on papers or assignments. I do not recommend it.

Currently taking Prof Bostons course and... its something else. She uploads all her assignments very late, crams in heavy tedious work, and has very high expectations for the work you submit. However, she will respond to your emails in a decent time which is good I suppose. Nonetheless, I am mentally exhausted and do not recommend this professor,

This professor gives out so many assignments and typically delays her weekly posts and gives short notices on when assignments are due. Her assignments are long and confusing and she throws multiple major grades at students all at once. She grades work very late so you never know how you're doing in the class. Would not recommend at all.

Just don't take her class. Especially if you want to know your grade as you go. A ridiculous amount of work with little time to complete due to late uploads. There's no way to tell if you're doing well due to assignments not being grades. I still don't even have some grades from the very first week of the class.

She wasn't mean and responded to emails in a timely manner but she doesn't understand that we have other classes and a life. We literally would have 15 assignments due in 3 days, one of them would be a paper, no exaggeration! There was so many pointless assignments and there is 4 textbooks for her class and she makes use of all of them.

She would have so many assignments which consisted of 4 papers and a bunch of pointless discussions and assignments. She says the workload gets lighter towards the end but I think that 's because she has 2 more papers and 2 group projects due towards the end right after the 2 5-10 page essays in the beginning.

She doesn't grade anything so you will not know if you are failing or not, and she has so many assignments I would have to stay up until 2:00am in the morning to finish because I have a job and other classes and she only gives you 2-3 days to finish all of it. She doesn't give you enough time to finish work, 5-10 page essays included.

The work isn't too hard it's the amount that makes it overwhelming. She assigns so much work and gives you only like 3 days to do it. If you can write papers easily then you should be fine but it takes me forever and she only gives you a week so I was personally struggling. She wasn't mean but it was ridiculous.

I am currently taking thus course. There is A LOT OF WORK, and it is mindless busy work. Have completed assignments from the first week of school, which are still not graded!! I currently have an A, but it could change, because she has about 20 assignments ungraded, and I am 16 days shy of the semester being over. DO NOT TAKE THE PROFESSOR SERIOUSL

No feedback until the last possible minute (like the night before the final project is due) or just doesn't give any feedback at all. Assigns massive amounts of work to be done within a week.

Worst class I've ever taken, she didn't post a single thing for a month. In the beginning she just threw at us a bunch of assignments to complete in two days and then went ghost mode for the rest of the semester. The MOST unprofessional teacher I've ever encountered.
