I love this teacher! She is kind, caring and helpful. She even speaks fluent Spanish and really helps us bi-liguel students. I have taken both political science from her and communication studies and find her personality really warm and interesting. She is well educated, down to earth and knows her stuff.

Ms. Wyman has a political background which adds to her teachings, yet her methods of explanation and testing are abysmal. She has a personality, however studying material and preparation for quizzes is poor. Readings are barely gone over, and many tests have extra material not in the study guides. A hit-and miss teacher, all depends on your ethic.

I think she's great. Some students were not thrilled with her tonight because they thought they deserve A's. I think she's a fair grader and you get better than you deserve in her class. I find her to be well organized. She expects u to work. Some students are lazy and will blame her. if you read the book and do the work you will pass.

I'm reading prior posts on here I'm realizing how lucky we are that she gives us a study guide. None of my other teachers even do that. It's ridiculous to think everything on a test is going to be on the guide. I guess some students want you to Baby them. I don't expect her to go over the whole textbook. That's what we are supposed to do.

Prof. Wyman was one of the most intersting and engaging instructors I've ever had. She is clear, concise and more than fair when it comes to grading. I truly believe that failing any of her classes reflect on a genuine lack of trying on the students part. Ontop of everything she's incredibly funny and knows her stuff! Also, be ready to read.

Study guides for quizzes? I've never had a teacher give me a study guide for a quiz. I think that's pretty awesome that she does that. The extra-credit saved me 2, because I missed a test and I thank her for that. If you pay attention, and follow her you'll do well. If you don't - you won't. Show up, do the assignments and you'll do great.

Miss Wyman has a fun personality, and she knows the subject. She gives no homework besides the readings. The lectures are mainly students reading out loud from the textbook (like elementary school), and she'll interrupt now and then to explain a topic. Sadly, those two things made the grasping of the topics before the test a little hard.

I like the class and I would take her again. She makes it interesting and enjoyable. When I did bad on a test that was because I didn't read the chapters or come to the reviews. I met with her several times in her office when I needed help. Treat her with respect and she will do the same to you. No-shows won't pass.

I like that she gave me my test grade a week after the test where other teachers make you wait forever The Only Exception was the paper which had to go through some type of plagiarism software. Which is understandable to me. She is fair and won't baby you.

She gives you your grades as you go. If you attend and participate you get extra points and that's says that in her shoulders. She explains how to get certain grades on your paper in the syllabus also but you need to read it to understand. She gives you opportunities to meet elected officials which I never would have normally which is a big plus.

She keeps it real. She gives extra credit that others don't. She tells you from the beginning it's not going to move you up a bunch of grades, just a little bump you a little if you need it.. She straight forward and honest. When I wanted to see my paper and discuss it I made an appointment and did it in detail. She is great!

I am from Mexico and I have an accent and some of this is hard for me. I liked that she speaks Spanish and that she doesn't judge you and tries to help you if you're a foreign student. I met with her several times at her office for help and she was very helpful. She sent me to The Writing Center and they help me with my paper. I we'll miss her.

I don't understand what that one poster is saying because she gives you your grades as you go and she gives you the formula as to how to figure out where you stand on your grade. Maybe they didn't understand English very well. She keeps you up on your grades and she tells you how to figure out your current average. She is fair. Won't baby you.

Extra credit will only bump you up a little. Some students think they can screw around all semester and that the extra credit is going to really change your grade. If you don't participate you can't get participation points if you're absent you lose points for that. She's Fair. Some students want to be babied. It doesn't work

Ms. Wyman doesn't use canvas so you don't get any updates of your grade. She'll give you your test scores if you email her and that's it. Her tests are tricky so you really have to know the material. Extra credit doesn't boost your grade much. Also, might have just been our class but she took at least 2 weeks to grade our quizzes.

Test grades were given 7 days after the tests. Extra credit was used to bump up our grades. Reviews were given before each test. Handouts for given in class so that we didn't have to pay for printing off of canvas. Class material was made interesting because we got to meet candidates. Good instructor. Made class interesting.

to pass you need to read the chapters and stay on top of them every week. pay attention to due dates because there's no makeups for tests. she tells you your grade after every assignment and it's up to you to write them down. Don't miss more than two classes or you won't pass because you missed the material from her mouth. I enjoyed class.

She gives you your grades the following class after a test. If your absent the day she gives out grades you have to email her which makes sense because why would she carry all the grades around all the time. Some students don't like that because they want to blame somebody because they were absent. Good class.

She knows her material and she knows how to deliver it. I like that she gives you an opportunity and class to read parts of the chapter because I don't always have time to read my book. I like the group concept. I love the educational videos. She is knowledgeable and helpful. I wish she taught more classes as I would take her again in a heartbeat

I miss her as we have to go remote due to the virus. She is articulate, knows the book, interesting and helpful. She also helped me find food as I lost my job and helped me to stop getting evicted. She goes beyond the job to help us. I would take her again. She is a good professor and knows her stuff.

Prof. W is hilarious! She keeps things interesting by bringing in guest speakers. 3 exams, 1 paper (5pg), 1 final (Ea 100 pts ttl of 500). Goes over what you need to know for exams. 25 questions which were T/F so you have 50% chance of getting it right. Make sure you stay up with your reading. Nothing in life comes easy, so take her class.

Took her on campus class. She tells you like it is, if you have no sense of humor and expect an easy A, keep looking. Lots of reading for this is a 4 credit class. If you miss class you will miss out on hints on test questions she may throw in there. Very funny if you understand her humor. Lets you eat in class as long as you clean up

We went remote mid-semester due to the virus. She immediately started emailing us and sending us educational messages as well as messages to help us find a food bank, links for healthcare and jobs and financial assistance. There was a lot of reading in her class but she pretty much gives you the answers in reviews if you're willing to pay attention

I have taken her twice. The first time I had personal problems so could not complete the course but I liked her so I came back to take it again and this time I passed. She is of the opposite political party as me but she brought speakers in of both political parties. She does not try to force you to support any parties. She is fair. Actually cares.

She speaks Spanish if you need help. She is kind and caring. She does expect you to do the work on time. She refers you to resources to help like writing center and tutors, help desk for technology if needed. She is not an easy A. She gives you what you deserve. She may use extra credit to help a little but it won't move you up 3 grades. Good class

She is fair and she is kind and she is straightforward. She does not kiss a student's butt. Some students don't like that because they're used to walking on their teachers. She will give you the grades that you deserve. If you don't show up half the time you probably won't pass. I would take her again.

She is kind but direct. She expects you to read the chapters each week & attend the classes. If you are absent more then a couple times, you will miss her test hints in the lectures and not do as well as you could. If you verbally participate, you will get bonus points at the end of the semester which will pump up your grade. A paper & tests rqrd.

I ended up homeless and living out of my car mid-semester and God love her, she brought me bags of groceries and discreetly left them behind her desk for me at the end of class. She did not have to do this, She actually cares about you. She's not rich but she could tell something was up with me. She expects you to attend class. Read the book.

She is very caring and goes out of her way to help minority students. You can tell she loves what she does to be in it and cheerful when teaching for many years. Not boring or monotone. A straight shooter, and blunt-- good sense of humor when delivering course material but expects you to read, attend, and do the work. She is friendly. 4 tests.

Take her seriously when she says put your phone away. Your grade will drop if you text or use your phone in class unless she lets you do it for research purposes. Don't constantly go in the hallway to use your phone either because you'll lose points for that. She expects respect. She's a good teacher. I learned a lot from her and would recommend

Top tier professor and human being, the type to care about your success inside and outside of the classroom. She has never had a bad day in class and was always in a loving mood, ready to profess and teach. Out of all the professors I had this semester, she was by far the one I learned from the most.
