Great and devoted teacher. I think it was her first semester teaching and she was just as good, and even better than some experienced teachers. I enjoyed the class and learned alot. I would take it again.

Kristin is an amazing, understanding, and decent teacher. She lectures but pauses for input or questions. Gives LEGIT study guides. She is professional. Government isnt intresting but her class was.

Very helpful, and knowledgeable about material. Engaged the class well, and encourages discussions and very supportive of students.

This was my favorite class. She gave out study questions before each test and if you found the answers in the book you could make an A. She gave opportunity for extra credit. Her discussions were very interesting. I would recommend this class without question.

Ms. Snodgrass is awesome. She knows her economics and she encourages students to discuss the material. She does allow people to talk a bit too much at times but overall her class is great. She gives very helpful study guides and also gave multiple extra credit opportunities. She tries her best to make a boring subject interesting and it works!

Kristen is an amazing teacher. She really knows what she is talking about. It's easy to get an A, as long as you study of course. She has a few opportunities for extra credit. I suggest you take these, just in case you flub on a test. No homework is given in this class. She gives excellent study guides. Perfect personality and really cute!

Really really great teacher. Kristin really knows what she's talking about and I learned a lot even though I wasn't that interested. It's not an easy class, but you can get an A if you study and fill out the study guides. She also gives extra credit opportunities.

Amazing teacher and interesting class! She knows her stuff, and gives you the truth! She is not biased at all and doesn't try to sway your political views, but she will tell you the facts and make you think about how you stand politically(even if you thought you would never care!) SHE IS AWESOME!!! I would take any other class she taught for sure!

Awesome class! It was very easy and I'm glad because I hate government. This being one of my worst subjects, I made an A. Show up, study the study guides, write your papers, then you should get one as well. Kristen definitely made a painful subject into something interesting! And she did an amazing job portraying both sides to every topic.

Snodgrass is basically the best professor ever. No question. I wish she taught every subject just so i could be excited about class! She gives out study guides and you just fill it out and you will be set for the test with a little study time! I miss this class :)

Ms Snodgrass was very laid back and encourages participation, which I enjoyed. Tests were right out of the book if you read the chapters like she stress you will make a A easy. I feel more confident in my knowledge about POL SCI after her class. My guess of pervious comments from haters is they didn't read chapter reviews. I would take again!!

This class was awesome. I wish more were like this. Show up, contribute to discussion, do the work (not hard), and study for tests. Kristen makes the class current. I learned a lot that i didn't know and actually enjoyed the class. She has a kind of dry sense of humor that not everyone gets. Don't take her class if you want to be babied.

I thought she was an easy teacher. The study guides are the test. The answers are in the chapter quiz. I hate government, but really if you show up to class, even if you don't pay attention, do the homework and study the study guides and there's is no way you can't get an A. She gives easy extra credit!

Ms. Snodgrass is such an easy teacher. She is very straight forward with the class curriculum. She would let you know what to except on the test and what you should accomplish to receive an A in the class. In her class four test, five abstract and plenty of extra credit are given. During every section she will take attendance ,which is worth point

This class was awesome! Kristan made this extremely interesting, and definitely opened my eyes about politics. She made her class very relevant and fun. This is not a hard class, she gives you the test before hand (in study guide form). I am so glad that I took this course, and had Kristan as my instructor!

She's awesome! she really got me into politics, it may be boring but it's vital to know what's going on in the world. she talks about recent issues and gets you involved. she has study guides for each test and plenty of extra credit. she's really funny too. if you get anything below an A in here, its completely your own fault.

The best prof at TCC. I had no idea what to expect but ended up loving this class. It's easy but there is plenty of work to do. Tests are easy as long as you study. Never thought I'd learn as much as I did. Never met a more laidback but competent teacher. She is serious about students learning. I wish she taught other subjects. Highly recommend!

This was a very easy class. Ms Snodgrass is very down to earth and did a great job at making the class interesting. The study guides are just like the test and everything is straight from the book. Very cool teacher, I loved this class!

Very good class, willing to speak with every student who has a concern about an assignment or the course. Very knowledgeable. The class is easy and enjoyable. Political opinions are encouraged and discussions occur regularly.

A fantastic teacher, extremely helpful, friendly, and motivated. Always makes an effort to connect to and relate to the students. Fantastic presentations, and mediums regarding teaching. Does a wonderful job with enabling students to see the gravity of government presence in our current and future lives.

Easily the most unbiased political science teacher I have ever had. She is awesome because she helps you to think for yourself and form your own opinions, all while doing a phenomenal job teaching the material. She's passionate about her subject and it shows in her character and teaching. She is a GREAT teacher. I so seriously recommend her.

As long as you get your work done, and attend class, you will do extraordinary. She offers a good amount of extra credit, and it will help you in the long run. If you do amazing on all your tests, don't miss class, and have a high grade in the class, you could have a chance to exempt her final.. Everyone is capable of doing so if you do whats asked

I loved this class. Ms. Snodgrass is an unbiased professor that lets you form your own opinions. She offers plenty of easy extra credit and if you do the study guides and study them, you can easily get an A on all of the tests. Make sure to show up for class, and you will want to because the lecture is worth it. I learned more than I ever thought.

One of my favorite teachers! Really encourages creative thinking, loves to show videostalk about current events, and has some really interesting things to say! The only downside is that you have to read the textbook to make it through the tests, as most of the lectures do not cover the test questions.

She will do anything to help her students as long as you make the first move to ask. Only four tests and they're all challenging. This is not an easy course, she wants you to actually learn what she teaches so it helps you in life.

Ms. Snodgrass is amazing! I hate politics but I still really enjoyed her class. 4 easy 1 pg papers over a current event, 4 tests (lowest is dropped) & 1 research paper. Tons of EC opportunities. She will help you with anything if you just ask! She is funny & makes the class interesting with videos. I really wish she taught more classes at TCC!

4 current events, do them get an A 1 paperproject, follow guidelines get an A 4 tests, they are pretty difficult but she gives a study guide that is the test, answers are word for word in the textbook, lowest test grade dropped which means no final! Lecturers are almost always turned into a class discussion which makes for an enjoyable class.

Ms. Snodgrass is an outstanding professor. By far one of the best professors I have ever taken. She will do anything to help you learn and understand government. She is unbiased and doesn't call you out based on your political party. GREAT TEACHER.

First instructor that actually cared and took the time to work with the students.

This was a great summer class. Attendance is very important to your grade. She gives extra credit in many formats that you get to pick from. She give study guides with everything that will be on the test and the question for the test come straight from the book. study what on the guide. She made the class very interesting and did not born you.

Professor Kristin Snodgrass is nothing short of excellent. It was an honor to learn from such a dame. Clear concise lectures combined with smooth tests that require a quick skim through the book for most. So long as you do your work and attend class you should encounter intellectual discussions and a solid B or A. Simply enroll in the class now!

Hands down best teacher ever. The Snodgrass class experience is one you'll want to have in all of your classes. She's exceptionally kind & way too cool for school. Her intellectually stimulating class will knock your mind out of it's comfort zone, in a good way. ;) Very encouraging & understands that life happens. Saved my ass this year, thank you.

I had Snodgrass for American Federal Government. She likes to lecture while giving out a slideshow, but since you can look up the slide online you should take notes on what she is saying. Tests can be difficult if you did not understand vocabulary. She gives out work specifically for groups. Will definitely try to work with you and provide help.

Adjectives used to describe Kirsten Snodgrass; smart, sassy, fair, helpful, stylish, funny, unbiased, and amazing. Students are given test study guides 3-4 weeks in advance for the easiest test I have encountered since leaving grade school. She gives tons of extra credit and is easy on the eyes. easiest "A" of the semester.

Ms. Snodgrass is a great instructor who knows more about politics than most politicians. Show up to class, ask for help if you are having trouble, and do your assignments and I promise that you wont regret enrolling! Oh and guys, Refrain from hitting on her, I watched a guy get shutdown in front of the entire class and it was hilarious.

I loved her! One of the best teachers I've ever had. It truly shows how much she cares about her students. I would care less about govmt or politics but she made it interesting and I even found myself intrigued with the subject. Straight forward with instructions,go to study group and do the sudy corners, you will pass the test. Lots of Extra Cred2

Great teaching style Really balanced in politics Easy to understand Attentive while in discussion Treats everyone equally Always available to get ahold of Stay focused and it's an easy A Solid class

Mrs snodgrass is such an awesome teacher, she is super fun and easy going and gets along with everyone. Lecture slides for each chapter but go to her study sessions And you'll ace the tests. Easy A as long as you do the work and study!

Professor Snodgrass is awesome! She definitely knows her stuff. There are four tests throughout the year. She eliminates your lowest one. I got all A's on my first three, the last test was considered the "Final" and I didn't have to take it. One research project/paper, multiple group projects (super easy) and a few current events.

She is good at explaining her lectures. She is interested in what she teaches. Fun to talk to and have discussions. You do need to put time and work into this class but it isn't too hard. She gives you a good chance to get a good grade and is ready to help. Kind of strict, but reasonable.

She is well studied and does her best to avoid bias on either side of politics. She is really nice and easy to talk to.

Kristin Snodgrass is in my top 3 fav teachers at TCC. She is respectful of everyone in class. She's hilarious - she walks the line between "fun teacher" and "serious leader" very well. She has the accolades and the personality to go far in whatever she desires, and I'm SO glad she offers her skills to TCC students. PRO TIP:GO TO THE STUDY SESSIONS.

Absolutely LOVE her! So funny and I loved how she taught, I hate government but she really is an amazing teacher. At the study sessions, she gives u everything that will be on the test along w the answers! Funniest prof ever and she's so real she's not afraid to speak the truth! Really respected her and enjoyed her class! tysm Mrs. Snodgrass(:

She has an attendance policy so you have to show up. Her tests are really easy, and she has study sessions that are really helpful. My friends used to attend those but I always had a lab at that time, but I still did pretty good. As long as you finish the study guides you will be fine. There are easy extra credit points and current event assignments.

Tough cookie but she's one of the best teachers I have ever had. Lectures are fascinating, relevant discussions. Understanding, works with you, has strict rules. She's funny and knows what she wants out of you. Glad I had her as a teacher-just make sure you stay within the absence/tardy limit or you drop letter grades easily, no lenience whatsoever

Best professor that I've had at TCC. Isn't biased, and truly cares about her students. If you don't take her for Government, you'll definitely regret it! Has study guides for every exam (3-4), if you study then them you'll ace the exams.

I cannot explain to you how much I enjoyed this class. I loved her personality, lectures (they were FUN) and her hrading criteria. I wish she taught more classes because i would take them. Amazing lady. She made my nights fun and she would answer any questions and stay after class just so her students would succeed.

Really good teacher, passed with a 100% my just paying attention and doing the study guide before the test

Professor Matthews' lectures were very interesting and she offers opportunities for extra credit to boost your grade. She really cares about your success in her class and is willing to help outside of class. Tests are derived from study guides, though not easy, it is also not very difficult if you dedicate time to study. I would recommend Her!

She does a good job lecturing and makes it easy to follow along. The test are exactly like the study guides and she will go over most of the answers during her lectures. You only have to do one short essay outside of class and you have a couple of discussions and current events to do throughout the semester. I would recommend her.

Dr. Matthews is a good choice. If you miss more than 6 classes, you will drop a letter grade, so please DO NOT SKIP!!!! The class is easy and anyone can earn an A if they do their best. Pop quizzes happen, but she usually will tell the class when there is a quiz. Also, she gives study guides for tests! That helps out a lot.

I loved Mrs. Matthews class! She was hilarious, but makes learning government fun! The tests are exactly like the study guides. Nothing hard in this class, just put the effort and you will pass.

I was dreading this class for personal reasons, but she made lectures fun, you will want to come to her class. You'll have a test every other week, multiple choice with 3 essay questions and she gives you a study guide. Dedicate some time to actually studying it and you will make an A on all the tests.

Open note exams and group quizzes. Literally if you put in effort you'll get an A. Simple.

Dr. Matthews made political science and American government so much fun and super interesting! Her exams are super hard and you will definitely need to learn (or already know) how to constructively take notes during her lectures (you can use notes for exams). She gives ample opportunities to raise their grades with extra credit. Highly recommend!

Shes a funny and inspirational professor who challenges students to work for their grade. Shes an easy grader on the written assignments, tells u essay Q before test. allows 1 page of notes front and back on tests (use 5 pt font to cram ur notes!), and gives extra credit opp. As long as u take good notes on lecture and skim ur textbook, ur solid.

She is a great teacher! You do have to pay attention in class and write down more than what is on her powerpoint for notes. use the powerpoint and then go home and go through the textbook to get more details on the topics. the powerpoint is your study guide. she gives you all the essay questions on the tests and you can use a notes sheet on tests!

this class isnt that bad but she does make you work for it!! If you dont study youll fail! If you dont come to class youll fail! If you dont pay attention in class youll fail! I suggest that if you take her be ready to work for your grade! Her lectures are so fun and shes a really cool person but her tests are hard but They get easier!!

Phenomenal professor, she is respectful, intelligent, and willing to work with you if you are not understanding the material. If youre someone who isnt used to working for a good grade this class will change that, as you have to apply yourself to do well. She is a fair grader and her class is very interesting.

She is very organized and knows what she is talking about. Very quick to respond. Many discussion boards, and exams that are heavily-weighted. Would take her again.

Took her online 8 week American Gov. summer class. 4 tests, 4 essays, 15 quizzes, and 4 discussions. Very test heavy (480/1000pts). Study multiple choice quiz questions (they make up most of the test). Test is on lockdown browser but quiz are open book. Reading heavy! (u read about 15 chapters). She grade very easy on papers. ACTUALLY READ THE BOOK

Loved this class. Found it to be pretty easy, well-structured and easy to follow. Sessions were short most of the time. You can tell she's passionate about politics and tries to be unbiased. Took it during an election year so lots of examples. She's also really cool to talk to and helpful but expects you to work hard for a good grade.

I took Dr. Matthew's class online and really enjoyed it. I felt like there was a doable amount of work each week. Definitely read the textbook and pay attention on quizzes. I noticed repeat quiz questions on the exams, which use lockdown browser. You definitely have to think critically in this course, but I learned a lot.

Professor Matthews was an amazing professor. I wish I could take this class again, outside of a global pandemic. She worked diligently to make course work interesting. You must read and understand the coursework in order to do well on tests. Reading the textbook is unavoidable. If you like philosophy, it will be fun. Class discussions were great.

Kristin Matthews knows her stuff! The tests are proxy exams where you have to show your face during the entire test. Heads up, the test is made up of questions from other professors as well so sometimes the questions don't match what you learned. She said it isn't about memorization, it is about critical thinking.

Dr. Matthews is a very fair grader. Government is a tough class. She is very fair and offers kind, inspirational and motivational feedback. Wish she taught other courses because I would for sure take those classes too!

Into to Political Thought is by definition a heavy philosophic course. It is important to read the book and watch the lectures that she posts, as well as the supplemental material she provides. This is not a rote memorization course, but one with important synergistic threads from ancient times to current,

I took Political Thought, and it was easily one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. It challenges you in ways that most classes do not. If you read the chapters and watch the lectures and utilize the supplemental material, you can pass. If you neglect any of these things, then good luck. The exams are the hardest part of the course by far.

This was a difficult class. Exams are the most difficult part (duh), theyre just hard to study for with what you get from packed lectures and the textbook. I had to study a lot to get a decent grade, being a bad test taker myself. Everything else was great, I feel like I learned about a lot of important things that i can actually apply to life!

Professor Matthews was one of the best TCC professors Ive ever had. I was enrolled in her online 16 week government class and made a considerably easy A. She grades really easy on papers and gives clear instructions for them. Hardest part of the class are the exams, as they are timed and proctored. Read the textbook and you will be just fine.

Very epic, super chill, funny, and offers great and interesting lectures. Her quizzes are real easy if you read, (all the answers are on Quizlet for the quizzes). she uses lockdown browser for her tests but the questions are recycled from the quizzes. there are a few papers but she grades super easy.(I got 100% on all my papers). overall super easy

Take her! Her class is so easy! Her quizzes are very simple, the exams have the same questions as the quizzes, lectures are VERY interesting. There are a few essays you have to write about they are all about your opinion and about your experiences so it is SUPER easy!

Favorite class by far. Very clear expectations, easy to work ahead. The book is FREE and available on YouTube for read-aloud. Dr. Matthews puts together a fabulous online classroom experience with great content and just enough work that you can actually retain what is taught. I am truly sad that she does not offer continuing courses.

Professor Matthews is the best! Her textbook is free online, she does have several assignments but if you stay on top of it, it's very simple and manageable. She gives extra credit if you show up to her physical class and she'll go over everything on every test. chapter quizzes are the exams. Would 100% retake her and recommend her.

Class consists of 4 tests, quizzes for each chapter, and 4 essays around 2 pages long. Make sure to show up to class because you get extra credit for it and she gives out the essay questions there. She's a very solid professor and I liked her dry sense of humor. She is unbiased when it comes to your political preferences and is not a tough grader.

4 papers, 4 discussion boards, 4 exams, and a weekly quiz. I took her blended class. the prof is really smart and nice, but the lectures are more of a yapping session, and you don't learn much. there's LOTS of textbook reading and most of the exam questions are from the textbook. def more difficult than it needed to be, but overall, not bad.

Probably the smartest professor I've had at TCC. Lots of work in the online portion of the class, but if you stay on top of it you'll make a good grade. I really wish all classes were blended like this.

Dr. Matthews is an amazing professor! There are no lectures in her class, but there are discussions, quizzes, and papers. She gives excellent feedback for the assignments as well. The exams are done in a lockdown browser, so it is imperative that you study the highlighted points in each chapter.

I had her as a PLS 1113 professor in 2019. She is one of the coldest in the game. I had alot going in that year and fell behind she was gracious enough to give me a AW so I could protect my gpa. My completion rate still took a hit but it was better than a F on my transcript. I completed the class at a 2nd attempt and passed. I did have her again.

Brilliant professor - wicked smart and that's why it was so much fun. I didn't think it would be an interesting class and it turned out to be one of my favorites. No easy or tough grading - just fair grading. I appreciated her and her class.
