Lisa an excellent teacher. She makes the course interesting and the material easy to understand. If U attend the classes and do her assignments, your'e definately going to get an A. She even tells you what to focus on when reading the textbook....in other words what parts she's going to test you on..so you really don't have to read everything.

Palton is a good teacher. She knows the material and explains very well. She rewiews and tells you what to study for the test. The test are mostly from her lectures but reading the book helps. Tests are about 25 multiple choice, 25 true/false, and an essay. The essay is the hardest part. She sometimes tells you the essay question before the test.

She is a great teacher and funny too! the material is kind of boring but it goes by quick I have an A in her class, U have to take her, u wont regret it as long as u go to lecture and take a couple of notes ull make a good grade, shes extremely helpful too!!!

Awesome teacher but she is a kind of confusing with notes...she does however help you understand anything confusing. She also gives tons of extra credit opprotunities

Govt has never been a great subject for me. Currently I have an "A" in the class. Her tests are M/C & T/F & essays. She reviews with you. This was a 5 week class, we had 4 test + the Final. One paper due, plenty of time-3 pages double spaced. Take notes & use your book to clarify what you've written down. FAST paced. Lots of extra credit/bonuses.

she talks very fast and can be kind of hard to understand. but her tests were easy esp. with the reviews she gives before the exam.

you take notes every day but print them out before coming.follow along dont be affraid to ask questions.can be a very comical class.before each test you are given a handful of test question that WILL be on the test.never used the book my grade is between a C+ and B-.she does move somewhat fast but ask questions and you will have more time to write

CLASS IS SUUUPER EASY, just take notes!!! Do not be scared off by the bad ratings!! I took her for 2301 & 2302 & got A's, & i dont even like GOV! She is rly nice, understanding, & gives extra credit opportunites & bonus on every test!! Which are pretty hard to fail since she reviews the day before the test with questions straight from the test

she's an ok teacher. you have to take alot of notes in her classes, my hand would hurt after all of her classes. however, if u read the chapter or the chapter outline she usually puts on black board b4 the class, you'll be ok. the test's r ok n she reviews the tests b4 the test day.

Be prepared to take lots of notes quickly. If you take your notes and do the reviews you will have no problem in her class. The tests are exactly like the reviews. She is an interesting lady and always had good discussions at the start of class with us. It's a dry subject, but I would definitely recommend her.

Mrs. Palton's class is not hard but not exactly easy either. You have to take lots of notes. She also goes fast in her lectures. Her tests are not that difficult because she gives a review. But don't be fooled, everything that's on the test is NOT on the review so you need to study the notes as well. She also gives extra credit opportunities too!

she's nice and funny sometimes but you have to pay attention to her. tests are based on notes & lectures so if you write notes you'll be fine. don't be scared of the ratings because she is not bad! she knows what she is teaching & if you study your notes then you'll do fine!

All I have to say is LISTEN! listening in her class is absolutely essential. Do not write all the notes she puts on the overhead, but just listen to what she is saying and write what you think is going to be important. subject is hard, but you actually learn something here. current events are always up for discussion. She is hard!

Listen to lecture and participate! She gives extra credit on tests. You need to show up to every class if you want an A, because her lectures are thorough and she gives out assignments in class that are worth extra credit.

She's a fair professor with obvious interest in her subject. She talks fast, though, so you either need a computer or shorthand. She typically awards upwards of eight or so extra credit points on her exams for quizzes and homework, but you need to be in class to take the quizzes. Show up for class and you'll be fine.

Not easy.

She speaks very fast, so writing notes is difficult. She gives a lot of extra credit if you show up to class, but the tests are challenging, even if you listen to the lecture and read the book.

I am currently in her online course and there are discussions, assignments and short essays available for extra points. She always answers my emails, so the claim that she ignores you is not true. You will not pass the class if you do not READ the chapters before taking the exams.

If you have a laptop, bring that to class since she is a very fast talker and taking notes is difficult if you are writing them by hand. She gives extra credit often and if you ask for help she will help you. If you don't go to class and don't study you will fail, but if you do what you're supposed to you will do just fine in her class.

Loved the class and hope to have her for govt. 2302

Great set up online, extra credit work available, test miltiple choice,does not overload with work, 4 tests and a term paper. Email response very quick. Would love to take her for 2306, but unfortunately she doesnt teach that one. Would definately take again! You will pass with her!

Pretty easy class to take, four 50 question test, 1 paper, and multiple chances to earn extra pts to supplement your grade. Requirements were clear. Got an A+ by simply reading/skimming the chapters the days prior to the test and answering the questions at the end of the chapters, would def recommend this teacher if you need GOVT 2305

This professor is hard. I tried really hard in this class and still made a C. mainly because of the tests, most of the stuff you read in the book, isn't on the test. Plus you don't have enough time to complete the test. It was really hard.

Idk why ms. Palton has such a bad rating. she is easy if you pay attention during lectures and take notes. Her tests are straight from the lecture notes. She also gives a lot of extra credit.

Class was easy enough to pass. Be sure to check the assignment tab always extra points to be found. Four tests and one paper.

Mrs. Palton is by far my most favorite teacher at San Jac. I love government and she just made everything enjoyable she knows her stuff. There is 1 paper and 5 tests final is not cumulative but the thing that helps the most are extra assignments for extra points. I had a 107 thanks to those things plus 2 points to your entire grade just for voting

Difficult class in it of itself it is not too hard. She gives about 100 points in extra-credit - AMAZING. Do the extra-credit, try and you should get an A.

A very easy online course, mostly because she will give you the syllabus with very clear-cut dates and guidelines, and she will leave it up to you to get it all done on your own time. Four tests and one paper (with very clear instructions); read the book and plan ahead and you will make an A.

Took the online 1st 8 week class. 4 test, 50 questions, 1.5 hours. 1 paper 3 pages, 750 words. All assignments are extra credit, and easy! Very easy class and fair. You can't look up all of the questions, so read over the chapters, and go over the keywords at least.

The key to this class is to keep up with the reading. You read and test, and all assignments are extra credit. Her expectations are pretty clear, but she's not very helpful over email. I would take her again.

You have to read every single page in the book. Other then that shes available if you need her. My class was online so her quick response was very much appreciated. I past with a B. As a single mom of three I was satisfied with that.

Professor Palton is an expert of the U.S. Constitution, and is therefore very good at clearly explaining what all the important amendments contain. Assignments were very clear and were fairly stimulating. There are lots of extra credit opportunities.

I just finish her 8 week course, i recommend her the class is set up using Mindtap. She is very helpful if you need her for anything. Its time consuming but its very easy, if your willing to do the work. It will be a easy A

Professor Palton is a great professor. The test are hard but she gives a lot of extra credit which is amazing. She gives about 5 bonus questions that are worth about five points each. That's like 25 points added to your test grade if you get them all right! Didn't use the book much because basically everything on the Powerpoints are on the test.

Give a lot of extra credit. Seems mean at the beginning but begins to open up. easy A if you do the extra credit given

Pretty solid grading. Only 4 tests are required - based on book chapters so you must do a lot of reading. The rest of the work is extra credit. Easy A.

I wish Professor Palton taught more classes. Easy A. 4 tests over chapter reading and you're done. everything else is extra credit.

Take pictures of the powerpoints (not enough time to take good notes and they are not posted. She advises taking pictures) Exams were very hard but she gives a TON of extra credit assignments t make up for this. I struggled like crazy in her class but passed with over an A because I did all the extra credit. The extra credit is really hard either.

Her class online was very simple. 4 exams that equal to 500 points, she provides EC assignments just incase. And also an essay worth 10 points. This class was easy!!!

Professor Palton is firm, fair, and consistent. She want just let you pass without learning how to think outside the box. Sometimes the test are tough but I feel that she cares about how we will have to use the information in the real world and apply it to our daily life! lots of extra credit so that you can pass too!! Thanks Professor Palton !!

She is a very good professor and responds to my questions as soon as she can. Professor P want just give you the answers, she encourages you to research it first. I understand that she really loves Government and wants us to know how it works too.

She is a good teacher, sometimes test are hard! She does tell you how to get extra credit if you are not doing well in her class. I know that she knows how our government really works. She tries to get us to open our minds to look at what our government is really doing!

I don't have too much to say, but She is very clear on how we can get all the points to pass her class. Sometimes her test are hard, but I know that if you want to learn how politics and our government works, TAKE Professor Paltons class.

The syllabus is clear and straightforward. She response to emails quickly. Great professor!!!

I have difficulty with test taking, so do the extra credit and you will pass the class!!

Professor Palton is passionate about what she teaches which is evident in her lectures. Her class is based on a point system, for each assignment you get points if you reach a threshold, ex. 400 pts, you get an A and you don't have to do any other assignments. She gives a lot of extra credit so it's easy enough but the exams are difficult.

Professor P is hard but fair. She teaches you real life situations and how we it affects us in real life. Take her and you will learn the truth!

SUPER EASY CLASS. Pls take it online. It will make your college life like a breeze. The book isnt needed, just do the work and youll get an easy A. Me personally all i did was did the assignments(very few), took the tests(easy), and wrote a decent essay(just needed 3 sources).

This is a super easy class! Just read the lectures, and you'll do well on the exams. There are 4 exams, no weekly quizzes or final, and about 4 discussion boards, and 1 signature assignment essay.

be sure to take notes. heavy reading. only about 10 items total due the entire semester. no contact with professor at all. easy class for credit.

Take this class, you will actually learn how to apply this to how our government functions in the real world! Not just text book. Professor Pslton is hard but fair and knows her subject!!!!

Professor Palton was very clear of what she needed from us. You read the chapters and take the test for thos chapters. Very easy as long as you take notes and read. I would definitely take her again. No surprises, everything is outlined. She also offers extra credit!

Loved having this professor! She cares about the topic, and I learned a lot of things about the United States government in this class. Homework is not required, but is offered for extra credit. She encourages discussion in her class and allows you to speak your mind. Very good class to take if you want to learn!!!
