Took this class over the internet. Class was super easy I recieved a 100 on everything. Teacher is very nice and I highly recommend taking her.
Super easy material to learn for this prof's exams. I don't thinks that I did more than 1 hour of studying for the entire semester in an online class and I still got a high B. She does give alot of assignments which you must keep up with , but the tests are really just common sense, and require almost no study time.
Loved this class. It was fun, easy, and enjoyable. She gave out extremely easy assignments and tests. Highly recommend this teacher. You will learn something out of this class.
Love this class! Professor is great! I recommend this class for any student who has not been to school in a long time. It will give you what you need to do well in college. Not to mention this teacher is great. If she only would teach some other subjects that would be awsome.
she is really GOOD, I got A in her class you just have to go all days and she will give a lot of ways to get extracredit in her class... RECOMMENDED!!!!
Mrs. Kauffman is a excellent instructor, she is very clear and straight forward about what she expects of her students. You have to work hard and stay on task, but she will get you organized and place you on the road to success. If you need guidance and a plan this is the class for you!
Mrs. Kauffmann is a very nice person and the class is not too hard (I took it online). The assignments are frequent but not intensive and it's easy to see what is due when. I'd recommend this course if you're thinking of trying an online class for the first time. You learn a lot about yourself and how you learn things in this class. I recommend it!
I just LOVE her! Best Teacher I have had in my whole life!
the class was easy.. the teacher was the problem.. i was on the swim team and often didnt make it but 2 or 3 min late and she would always make a scene and i never got anything below a 75 in her classes and did all my work but somehow i got a d and when i went to talk to her about it she couldnt give me a reason on why ... my gpa is now lower
useless class..... doesnt help waist of money
SLS 1101 WAS EASY COURSE. BASICALLY TEACH ALL THE FACTS THAT U NEED TO KNOW WHEN FIRST STARTING COLLEGE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS COURSE FOR NEW/RETURNED COLLEGE STUDENTS.
Very funny teacher and very easy class
Mrs. Kauffmann was a fun teacher, and the class is easy. She isn't one of those boring professors because she keeps the class interesting. Take her class.
I really enjoyed having Professor Kauffman. She's an excellent teacher. Unlike most lectures, you can stay awake and get a full understanding of this class. This is a great class with a great teacher. I recommend her for anybody!
Very nice lady, caring and helpful. I took the class online and really regret it. Everyone that talks about how easy and fun the class is took it on campus. The chapters are hard to retain and the exams are close to impossible even being open book. Strangely worse grades i ever got. Test reviews woulda been helpful. I recommend her not online class
WONDERFUL INSTRUCTOR! I am a returning student and have had past success, I took this class only because it was required for my program. It teaches young people great skills to succeed not only in college but life. Every student should take this as it teaches some very important lessons you can begin using immediately. Highly recommend!
Hated her class!! she talked too much about nothing and she never went over the test. I asked her if she could go over a certain test, and she said she would bring the test next class.well guess what? she never did,even when I emailed her so she could be reminded. wast of my time.
Great professor. Taught the class very well. Pretty important to be there for class. Very good for beginners in college. Allows you to become more comfortable with college.
this class was soo boring. it was pointless i didnt learn a thing. the teacher really likes if you're goal oriented so if you're not pretend that you are and you should do fine.
OMG!!!! I Loved This Class It Makes you open up your eyes and realize success doesn't come easy and that you have to work HATS OFF TO YOU MRS.KAUFFMAN
I took SLS1101 online and I loved it. She is a great professor and she helped me open my eyes to knew ways of learning and studying. Her class was very helpful and she is great with communication and responding to emails in a timly manner. I would definitely take her again recommend taking her for this class.
I took this class because I am entering a Selective Admissions program, and wanted as many points as possible. This class was listed as "preferred", so I took it. I thought it would be a waste of time, since I am 40 returning to school. NOT! She was helpful and gave great feedback. Opened my eyes to new ways of learning and listening!
Professor has a great passion for her job, but no off switch when it comes to lecture. Her class teaches that all people learn differently, but she only teaches one way. I learned the material on my own at home. I also found that I had a larger load of course work than in my other three classes combined. Be prepared to work!
Very upbeat, keeps you listening.
I really enjoyed this class! Every college freshman should take it! Very good information for the rest of your college career! This teacher is very funny, entertaining and interesting! She's very helpful! She's just wonderful! A MUST TAKE! You are cheating yourself if you pass her by! Excellent teacher n class! I'd take it again with her if I could
Mrs. Kauffmann was a great teacher! She was helpful and really funny. Her lectures weren't boring and she also told little stories about her life. She always tried to keep the classes attention. I loved Mrs. Kauffmann. She grades things fairly and will explain why you got something wrong. Thanks Mrs. Kauffmann!
This class was easy...Its a pretty much pointless class where you learn how to read and study and not to procrastinate..I wouldnt recommend taking it unless you have to, waste of money. The teacher is wonderful though the class is just useless
Mrs. Kauffmann is a very amazing, creative instructor! She's always interested in her students and loves hearing about everything you've learned in her class. She's real and connects personally with all of her students. Although her tests are very difficult, the homework is easy. Do all of the extra credit and you'll end up with an easy A :)
I resented this class at first and then was quickly humbled! She is wonderful! She helped me grow and I have a new positive mindset for the future! Her compassion is rare as she wants her students to achieve. I got an A. Tests are hard as you have to actually think and apply what you've learned. Study. Don't slack.
First of all, Mrs. Kauffmann is so nice and caring! She is easy to get in touch with if you have questions. This class is easy, just do the assignments, show up, don't text in class, and you'll get an A. The class itself is pretty useless.
First off my lowest grade was a 75 the rests were in the 80s, and I recieved a D. When I asked her why her answer was that everyday i ran into class right at the time class started soaking wet, and successful students do not do that so she would not pass me. I was on the swim team and was only given 10 minutes to make it across campus! fall 2008
Amazing teacher! I had her for a fast track class and I passed with flying colors. If you do the work and use common sense, you can't lose! She is easy to get in touch with if you have questions or concerns and is willing to point you in the right direction on assignments. FABULOUS!
I would recommend Mrs. Kauffman for those who would like to have the "real" college experiance...She's very blunt and somewhat funny, but be prepared - she can be very intense! Unfortunately, for me, all I gained from this class was stress and frustration. Don't get me wrong - she's sweet, just a little on the tough side, if you get what I mean :)
Mrs. Kauffman is an excellent teacher. She made my transition back to college enjoyable and I totally recommend her. Teaches everything you need to know to be a successful student.
She was pretty helpful for all the questions I had! I took the class online and sometimes the assignments will begin to catch up to you if you don't properly manage your time! Take this for an easy A!
Nice if you get on her good side. Really tough on you though and a lot of work that you need to stay on top of. DO NOT miss a test, you won't be able to make it up.
I loved this class!! Mrs. Kauffman was amazing! She definitely cares about her students and wants the best for them all!! Do your work and you'll get an A!
Mrs. Kauffmann is a great professor I would take her class again. The class is very interesting and diffidently a great class to a long life career. Lots of reading and materials ,but not difficult at all. Teacher is a dedicated person and helpful. I'll miss her class.
Mrs. Kauffmann is the best professor i've had so far. She's engaged with her students and if you need to talk to her, she's always there. Class is easy if you do all the work and listen to her,and take notes during class. I highly recommend her.
Took this class with her last year and she is a nice lady. She is entertaining when it comes to teaching because she makes it fun. She can be a little tough on the grading but if you participate in class you will be fine. Easy class in general.
Laura Kauffmann was my first professor I took EVER. I took her online and she was so kind and understanding. She was willing to work with me. I would take her again for sure. She was quick to respond to emails as well. Easy and useful class for sure! VERY PLEASED.
Mrs. Kauffmann is a wonderful teacher. If you pay attention to her lectures and do your homework, you'll pass the class and tests. I would recommend her to anyone. Easy A.
I had her for Student Success online. The grading criteria was not always specific, the class is mainly busy work, and there are quite a few assignments.
Mrs. Kauffmann is one of best professors I could ask for. Her teaching is good and hit the key points for each chapter. Most of work is grade online. She goes over everything need to be done. As long you get work done and work hard, for you can pass the class with A. Doing the extra credit is important and always show up to class. The points counts
She is literally the sweetest! She cares about her students but she isnt a push over. Shes very understanding and i would recommend her for any class shes available for, you wont regret it
I wasn't a fan of her at first but she definitely grew on me. She is nice and very understanding, and she definitely gives out the grade you earned based on the work. Attendance is also part of the grade. But the assignments are pretty easy as long as you follow the directions.
Very enthusiastic about the topic. Many assignments about one a week, theyre not difficult just a little time consuming. Very accessible and open to help you if needed. My favorite professor so far. Easy A if you do the work and turn it in on time. Fair and easy to get along with as long as you meet her expectations.
I took the class online. Everything was laid out very nicely and easy to understand. She includes videos to explain how to turn in work, which was great for someone who doesnt take many online classes. She was also easy to get in touch with if you had any questions. Always willing to help explain subjects. Easy A if you put in the work.
Great teacher! Took her online and none of the exams were taken in the testing center except for final! Super easy grader!! Would totally take her again!
She is the worst grader. She doesnt give any feedback and she is unfair.
She's a good teacher, but at times the work can be extraneous but very easy. She doesn't have any test just open book quizzes occasionally.
I loved Mrs. Kauffmann! She was super sweet, caring, and made sls actually kind of interesting. She is generous with grades and is a fun person to talk too. sls isn't the most fascinating class, but I really didnt mind it with Mrs. K. I definitelly recomend... you litterally cannot go wrong taking this proffesor.
she is that teacher you can go to with any problem you have in or outside of school. she was also an high school English teacher so she can help you with your essays, and will catch any and all grammar issues in any of your work. she is one of my favorites teachers ever
I love Mrs. Kauffmann! Shes an amazing professor and genuinely cares about her students future. She teaches like shes telling a grand story in a group of people. She knows when and how to catch everybodys attention! The assignments are easy as long as you come to class. She tells you every detail and makes sure you understand.
I took her class online and truly loved it. Just follow instructions and you will do great!
2 OR 3 assignments due every Sunday. Do the assignments and you'll pass with an A. There is only 1 test at the testing center and you could use the book.
Mrs. Kauffmann was a good teacher but often lectured on unnecessary topics that sometimes weren't related to the material. But overall a good teacher and if you put the time into the assignments you'll get an A in the class.
If you take Mrs. Kauffman, be ready to listen to lots of random stories. She would spend more time talking about her life than the actual assignments. The class is definitely an easy A but super boring and pointless. I would totally take it online of I could go back. The assignments are not hard just super time-consuming.
She's really nice!
If you do the assignments, it's an easy A. Mrs. Kauffmann was always happy to help me. You have to take the effort to reach out and she will help you. She always got back to me within a few hours. The only thing was her instructions were sometimes confusing. Overall, a great professor!
This class was fairly easy regarding the work. When you email her she responds in a good amount of time but for someone who emailed her late at night, I doubt she would email you back fast enough. The work in her class is based off of a few sources that you have to read and then do assignments on. So if you take notes, you're good to go!
I thought that there wasn't enough structure to the class overall. I felt like she spent more time talking about things that happened in her life than actually discussing what we were supposed to be learning in this class. She graded fairly but there was a lot of homework, and I felt like I could've learned more.
She great. A very kind proffesor, I had her online. She would interact with us a bit and try to send in messages to let us know to turn things in. Workload was about two assignments per week. And if you want the A for each assignment it will take you about an hour. Exam/quizzes was easy, just make sure to go over the modules. 100% recommend
I took this course online during summer A and received an A. The class is easy and the professor doesn't make it difficult. She is caring and is reachable if you have any concerns, she also gives good feedback on work.
Dr. Kauffmann was a great professor. The only bad thing about my experience with her is that I had to get use to going to school with mental problems so I had to retake the class
The professor answered emails fast. Provided feedback. The layout about when things were due could be confusing at times. If you reach out she is fast to answer questions.
Professor Kauffmann is a very sweet professor! She cares about her students and always responds to emails within a decent time frame. Shes lenient with due dates and thoroughly explains every assignment. Some of her assignments are time consuming but nothing too hard.
She's a bit hard of a teacher, but she's so wonderful and wants her students to succeed, genuinely. I love the way she doesn't just give away a grade-- you can tell she has experience. Work hard!
Professor Kauffmann cares very deeply for her students and their success both in her courses and all others. She is very invested in her teaching and you can tell that she loves what she does. There was a decent amount of work in this course but it was entirely manageable. Professor Kaufmann is wonderful, I would definitely take her again.
she basically the awesome grandmother at the college. Super kind and understanding. just make sure to do your work if you miss an assignment it will hurt your grade. Don't be to weary of that though, the assignments are really easy there is just alot of them.
WORST PROFESSOR SHE ONLY CARED ABOUT GRANDSON WHEN I WENT!!!! She had a slick remark when you asked about the assignment and all she talked about was herself and she hated when people came in with a Starbucks cup. Never really explained the assignment and piled up more assignments while talking about the main assignment
terrible understanding skills. cannot fathom being empathetic to anyone but herself. do not take this teacher
very rude. never helped with explaining the assignments
she won't actually go overanything you genuienly need for the assignments and instead of helping her student's feel prepared for what's to come from college and adult life in general she gives you this looming feeling of dread by the things she actually talks about yet assigns probably the longest assigments out any other college course
She doesn't tell you how to do anything and talks about the most stupid things ever and will continue talking after the class is over. Save you the trouble and don't take her class or take it online
Professor Kauffmann is very rude and doesn't give much helpful feedback.
Quizzes can be retaken and are pretty easy, however the professor herself is not a good lecturer and grades unfairly.
Don't take her.
I'm just now finishing up this semester and have had a great experience with Professor Kauffmann. Her lectures are always entertaining and she does a great job at making everyone feel included. The assignments were time consuming but not too hard. I would definitely recommend taking her class. She's also very approachable. She is AWESOME! TAKE HER!
I really like Mrs. Kauffmann. I'm taking this class online, but the class is going well overall. She gives good feedback. The assignments are a bit tedious, but other than that I would recommend her class!
I am enjoying this course!
I don't have anything personal against Laura, but as a teacher I can't say I enjoyed taking her class. The assignments every week take quite a bit of time. She is not easily accessible by office hours nor reaching by email (1 week or more to get a reply), would often go on off-topic rants for an excessive amount of time, and more. Would not take.
She gave good feedback on assignments.
Prof Kauffmann was one of the best professors Ive had at irsc, and I'm saying this after graduating now with my AA. She was super funny and genuinely caring. She'd always ask how we were doing and was willing to build that connection with her students. Her stories were always super funny! Just put in the effort and you'll be fine.Easiest class ever
