She teaches ELI online courses and is the hardest teacher I have ever had. I cant get anything past an F on assignments. The class average for all the assignments is a "D". If you just see her picture you will run away.

No way! I DEFINITELY don't recommend taking this class with her in ELI. There is way too much work...her blackboard site is filled with so many assignments that it gets so confusing to navigate. She never answered my emails. Not recommended for people unfamiliar with ELI. People barely passed.

She is not as easy as I thought, very straight on time. Heavy penalty on late work

BELIEVE ME, aviod this professor at ALL COSTS!!!!! The class is redicilous and so is she. She doesn't want to hear anything you have to say. Many other reasons also... Just STAY AWAY!!!!!!!

You know how some teachers seem to care? You can tell how they want you to get an A in their class, they want to help you, and they do what they can to push you up; you know those teachers? She's is not one of them. You can't possibly work as hard as she has in life. It's a safe bet you're gonna get a B with hard work when you're deserving of an A.

All I can say is don't take her. She spends the entire class going over a handout she gives out and showing us her webpage. Then the last 15 minutes she rushes through the REAL notes and time drags on. Terrible professor.

This instructor's syllabus is confusing and contradictory in many places. She is arrogant and difficult to communicate with. She is slow to respond to requests for assistance and then, when she does she offers no help whatsoever. Avoid her like the plague.

It's a community college not Oxford. Get over yourself lady.

That was the worst semester of my life. I was only taking 4 classes. It felt worse then the semester when I took 6 classes. Too, too much work. Read her rebuttal. She really doesn't get it.

Worst Professor I ever had. I took this class is 2001 and I cannot believe she still teaches. STAY AWAY!

The information is interesting and I had fun learning it, but she doesnt grade well. She told me I was being to factual and not being personal enough in my papers, so then I wrote more personal and she told me I was too personal and not factual enough. hmmm.

WORST teacher ever. I have been a STRAIGHT A student until now due to her class. Her expectations are ridiculous, she penalizes you for late work AND if you turn work in "too soon" ! She has a strict schedule of due dates, so it's impossible to really go at your own pace (the point of an online class?) DO NOT TAKE HER! YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!!!!!!!!!

She is by far the worst teacher you could possibly take. There are way to many assignments, i think i wrote close to 10 essays for this class. I have never put so much effort into writing a paper and i would expect a B or higher on them but she is a strict picky grader.This is not what i expected from an online class. Absolutely do not take her.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASSES!!! She sets you up for failure! She was a very tough grader, even when I turned in a great paper, I would get a C. She tells you to give your opinion yet leaves nasty comments when she doesn't like your opinion! I can't believe I ended up with a D when my exam average was an A!! The most unfair professor I've ever had!!!!

Dedicated and thoughtful, I don't think so. She is very criticial and it doesn't matter how much work you put into it, it will never be an "A" in her book. Do not take this class. It's not worth it, especially if she is teaching.

Interesting course work, but not a lot of help from the instructor. The grading is extremely subjective. You will get points deducted from papers if you display "too much prior information" about a religion. You must react to religion exactly as she does or you've apparently learned it wrong. Giving out A's is a measure of last resort for her.

Terrible class. She asks for your opinion then grades harshly if she doesn't agree with it. I took it online and it is completely unorganized! She makes the students go and visit another place of religion even if they don't feel comfortable about going. If you don't go you lose ten percent off your overall grade. Just terrible. Don't take her class

TERRIBLE Class and professor I was looking forward to this class and it turned out to be a nightmare.She is too critical this class should have been enjoyable but it wasn't. I'm so glad it's over. I passes the class but I won't take a class with her again.

DO NOT take this class, she is so subjective with her grading if it is not "how she would have done it" and her instructions are never clear. The assignments are a waste of time and no matter how hard you try she will not give an A, even if you follow the rubric given.

I signed up for the class thinking that I was getting one professor, and ended up with Shulman. She was awful; she didn't respond to emails and only replied with exam dates. Harsh and unfair grader, especially on the assignment where we had to go to a place of worship other than our own. Easy quizzes & exams, awful professor. Don't take her class!

She is very frustrating due to the fact that she is so particular in how she desires responses to be while also being short and concise. Her questions are too open ended and she decides to reduce your points due to the fact that she wants to see more vocab words while limiting you to 200 words. If she likes you, your discussion board is good

I don't recommend her as your teacher at all. Yes, she has lots of knowledge, however, she teaches and grades you like you're doing a masters program in Religion. On top of that, she expects you to have a certain perspective of religion or else you lose a couple of points no matter how well you work on your paper. That includes free writing -unfair

she's very rude and critical, a lot of home works that can be Irrelevant. though grader and will make you dislike religious discussions. please don't do this to yourself.

If you are looking for an easy A to meet pre-req needs, this is not the class for you. I'm sure professor Shulman is very passionate about this topic but she fails to translate this passion to her students. Her online class, the lecture videos aren't even hers. She gives you links to other people's lectures. And her Bb isn't organized efficiently.

Do yourself a favor and never take a class with her. Her grading is erratic and there is no valuable feedback. You can work so hard on an assignment and its a hit or miss, you'll never know. She's terrible. My class was online and she's obviously not tech savvy enough to teach an online class. I worked waaay too hard to only get a B.

I got an A, but still realized that I had to write my work using certain viewpoints in order to get good grades. This means that you cant be honest with what you believe in. To me that is the worst trait possible for a professor to have. Do yourself a favor and never take this class.

Absolutely the worst professor I have ever had !! very hard and focused on the smallest details while grading. Would not recommend one bit at all DO NOT TAKE HER SHE SUCKSSSSSS

Laura Shulman, she is very mean in the class never responded the email. Do not take her class she is really not honest with grade my friends told me before but, I took her class yes it was my mistake to add her class please do not feel depressing with her class she is not good at all.

Laura Shulman, she is not honest her class was full of home work and quiz but she never satisficed with the work, do not take a class with her. she is really horrible, never and ever take her class she is extremely awful in grade she is very bad in class at all.

Laura Shulman she is religion teacher but she is not honest in grade the student very though, awful don't take her class she is so bed grader.

The experience with the professor during the class was so difficult as her instructions were never clear and she was the worst grader ever. I had to work hours to try to work around what she specified. Avoid taking her by all means.

Whatever you do DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. she has no manners, is judgmental makes up unnecessary assignments and takes points off for no reason and makes you do group work every single class, very tough grader and is not helpful at all.

BRUTAL! Of all the college courses I have taken, I projected this to be my favorite. So excited. She wrecked that for me. Rude, demeaning, condescending, unfair, harsh. She EDITED a majority of the discussion board posts, critiquing most of our free thoughts and changing what was OURS...to hers. Unbelievable. Choose another Professor.

Extremely uptight about grading and questions students credibility and integrity without proper reason

The worst professor I've ever taken. The course seems very simple and it is but she makes it very difficult in her own way. The hardest and most inconsistent grader I've ever seen. Very heavy on writing. Very rude. Offers useless feedback. Don't take her if you have other options available.

Do not take this professor if you can take anyone else. Very critical of every assignment. For a class on Religion, it felt like she was not open-minded and wanted everyone to think a certain way, regardless if it may contradict their religion. Mostly discussion posts, quizzes, and an in-person encounter with a religion you are unfamiliar with.

for an easy, online class she was so harsh for no good reason. She wanted specific responses and for a religion class she was not very open minded; very strict about not including bias in assignments, but was very biased herself. gave terrible feedback and inconsistent, harsh grading. do not take this class with her as a teacher !!

She gives assignments that aren't graded, but expects you to get them done in order to turn in assignments that are graded which doesn't make sense because why are you putting my grade on the line for something that isn't being graded ?

She's biased. please don't take her, save yourself. She will give you a rubric, and you do everything the rubric says and she still finds a way to mark off points for things that's not on the rubric. I reported her twice already. don't take her.

She referred to me as neurotic, childlike and mentally ill after I responded to an opinion based question about my religion. In my answer I explained why my view was the way it is, made zero negative comments on any other religion. Just stated MY opinion as the answer to the question she was asking.

She literally stated at the beginning of the class that she intends to "change our views on religion" through the course of this class. I took this class for my humanities credit 2 years ago and she would take points off simply because she didn't agree with my opinion. DON'T TAKE HER IF YOU CAN!!!
