Lisa is a very kind person but doesn't offer good feedback on the 4 essays you have if you go in to her office hours. She's a tough grader but there aren't any tests or quizzes except for the final. There's a lot of reading and in class discussions. Participation is graded. She was very nice but really makes you work hard for a decent grade.

Lisa is very nice and does make herself available outside of class to read over essay rough drafts. However, I did not care for her teaching style, and her directions/expectations for the essays were vague. I had to ask many clarification questions because I was often confused on what to do. Also, there are pointless readings in the textbook.

Professor Wallace was one of the best Professors I have had at COC. She is very kind, and the class feels easy going because of her personality. I'm sure everyone has problems, but she came to school every day with a genuine smile. She grades on 4 essays and participation, and there are text book readings and homework which are easy.

Prof Wallace is an extremely nice professor but you don't learn as much as you probably want or need to. I took her for 101 and 103 and the courses are exactly the same. There are four essays, a few homework reading assignments from the textbooks, and one discussion in the class. She is an easy teacher that cares about her students, and is easy.

She showed up to class late every day (5-20 min.), was unorganized, had us watch videos on bomb sniffing rats (I didn't learn much in this class), & made us buy 3 textbooks but we only used 1.

Very nice professor & gave minimal homework. Usually has a daily activity that counts as a "participation grade" worth 10% of your grade, so you'll need to be there. She's a bit of a tough grader, but if you go to her office hours for help, you'll most likely do well. She gives 4 total essays & one final in class essay. You need books for hw.

Took this class during winter (3x a week for about 3 hrs) and it was a waste of time. Mostly irrelevant conversations. She only grades participation, final exam, and essays, so essays are worth a lot. You can ONLY get an A if you ask her to review your essays and follow her advice. Don't bother getting the book, you can get by without it.

Her class was incredibly easy. You do have to show up, but participation is optional (but she may call on you occasionally). The workload is very light, and only grades 4-5 essays so if you aren't strong in writing them be aware that one bad grade will bring you down. However, she does offer office hours to help students with their essays.

Pretty much the entire grade is made up of 4 essays, each worth increasing percentages. Participation is worth 10% and final is worth 10%. Grades extremely hard on essays and does not give clear criteria for what she expects. Must go to office hours for help if you want an A, but why should this be the case for an online class?

The only thing that counts for your grade is four essays, which grow in grade weight as the semester progresses. The topics for these essays and discussion boards were pretty interesting, but the only problem I had while taking the class was that the prompts for the essays were too broad, and the critiques/how she graded the essays were unclear.

READ THE BAD SCORES! Honestly don’t know how she scored high. She gave feedback for rough drafts; I’ll give her that..but 3 weeks after final submission. Her feedback also made no sense, and you get no response if you reach out for clarification. Every bad review has her spot on; listen. She also grades you almost solely on essays. Good luck.

I'm sure she's great when you take her class in-person, but online is not her thing. Finding the assignments was like going through a maze. Sometimes she would duplicate assignments without knowing. She doesn't grade you on assignments/discussions, but only on quizzes on the textbook readings and essays. 4 essays totals but takes forever to grade.
