This is a good class if you're willing to do the work. She assigns readings and expects you to do them. She expects students to come to class prepared every day.

Dr. Jeffries was one of my favorite teachers. Her approach to teaching is fresh and educational. I signed up for another one of her classes. Just make sure to show up to class. The course material isn't difficult. She makes you look at a topic from many different angles and that was refreshing too me.

You'll learn how to write using sources, and grading is fair if you follow the instructions and rubric. She's responsive and flexible. But every assignment is political and very left-leaning. You have to use her sources, so if you don't agree with the views, it's hard to argue your point. Take advantage of the extra credit she offers, it's helpful.
