It was my understanding that we pay for lectures to be lectured. This professor NEVER lectures. There are many videos, in which responses must be typed and submitted. A paper is due on a novel. The groups for the projects are HUGE. The final and midterm are terrible difficult. You can get an A, but you'll hate the class. Needs to actually TEACH!

Show up to class or don't, either way you still won't know what's going on or what's expected of you. She knows the subject matter and is a really nice lady, but when it comes to assignments things are VERY vague, grading is odd. The tests were super easy with the help of her study guides. Really easy if you're good at guessing.

Stay away at all cost. Took her online class which consisted of 3 tests, 3 discussion boards, and 1 6-8 page paper over "my mother's keeper". Catch was that that paper had nothing to do with the book reading and was never clearly explained in the instructions. Does not asnwer student questions or emails. extremely vague with assignments.

She doesn't care if you miss a quiz for issues beyond your control unless you're dying, even if you're an A student. And she's always too busy to help, the TAs are pretty much the professors.

I had her this semester for 101 and 331. These courses are very reading heavy. Grading is more done on content and knowing key points, more than grammar.

You don't have to go to the lecture, theyre irrelevent. The discussion board assignment s is posted online which is the only assignment, wished I wouldve never attended

Great content, clear assignments and lectures, and she is willing to help you out as long as you put in the work, which for a 300 level elective, is fair and honestly easy. the book is a necessity, but is great--funny and honest about Human Sexuality.

This teacher does not teach. Throughout the duration of this course, she must have given five actual lectures. The rest of our time was spent watching videos, guest speakers, doing in class writings, and doing group discussions.

HARD at the beginning! Chapters for the week are 20 pg long and PP notes didn't even remotely cover the material. The only saving grace was that each quiz is open-note, got 2 tries, and the questions were the same, just different order 2nd time; all questions in the study guide she sends out not txt. Dif book required that helps with final paper

This professor does not care about her students. The discussions require HOURS of work. The syllabus said we got 80 minutes for the test, which had 50+ and really hard questions, and only gave us 70. Wouldn't honor the syllabus either. You need those extra 10 minutes. Had to drop because it would have messed up my 4.0. Not worth it.

She seems like am empathetic professor at first, but is not. The rules she has for exams just makes it seem like she wants students to fail. (45 mins only? Can't go back on questions? Taken in the same sitting?) Many mistakes on exams so you have to reach out if you want your points back which MIGHT happen. It's a bummer because I was excited...

Grade is based on 7 discussion boards, 4 multi-choice tests, & 1 essay. The rubrics make it clear exactly what's needed from each assignment, & if you follow it then you'll get full points. Textbook is essential for this class & needed for all assignments. Brougham & TA's are responsive to emails and caring. Lots of busy work but not a hard class.

The class materials are outdated. Studies are being cited from the 80s and 90s when more accurate information is available today. There are no real lectures on the course content. The slides are pointless. The test questions are full of double negatives and errors. It's very frustrating.

I do not appreciate her all or nothing discussion boards. They are high point value and if you make a small mistake such as not using perfect APA format- ZERO... no matter how hard you worked on something. I found her incredibly unreasonable in that aspect. Take away some points.. Don't just discredit all of the hard work put in.

In this class, Brougham skipped the chapter on contraception and abortion, which I hadn't noticed until the last discussion assignment requiring students to donate to organizations that support mothers and babies while openly encouraging a donation to crisis pregnancy centers - religious based and anti-choice organizations. This is irresponsible.

I have had Professor Brougham for both FAS101 and FAS301 and she has been great. There are discussions and quizzes based off the textbook readings. The only thing that I didn't like about either classes was the book report that is due at the end of class, but otherwise these classes were a breeze.

I've had Professor Brougham a few times and I have enjoyed the classes they've taught. There is always a good amount to read but it's all easy work to stay on top of. There is a good amount of writing too but it is easy to do as long as you read your book.

This class was pretty easy and straightforward with a discussion board and exam every module. There is two different essays though, due at the end of course. Professor Brougham was kind and seemed to care about her students. Was definitely an easy elective course.

Pretty straightforward course. One big project that is broken up into weekly assignments. Maybe 2 to 3 discussion posts that you have to do. Overall, it is pretty easy to get an A in this course as long as you do the work. Definitely take this course if you need an easy A. Only purchase the textbook for the course you don't need anything else

The content itself was interesting, but for a 100 level course, there was A LOT required of you. Exams and lots of papers. If you can whip up a paper really quick, you'll be fine, but be sure to read the syllabus VERY carefully. This was a really consuming course that I really had to fight to keep an A in. Ye be warned.

Professor Brougham was great! She was very understanding when I had issues and seemed to care about her students a lot. There's a lot of reading, but the exam questions are pulled straight out of the book (ctrl+f helped). Two essays, but they're pretty much just reflection based so they weren't bad. I really enjoyed this class & it was an easy A.

FAS101 with Professor Brougham was a breeze. The course has engaging content and an understanding instructor. With Unstuck AI and the free textbook, acing the exams and papers was a piece of cake. Definitely an easy A-level class.

Weekly discussion posts (500ish words and reply), 4 exams not proctored open notes, 5 page midterm essay, and final writing project. She gives good grades if effort is put in and assignments are complete. Would absolutely take again. Makeup exams offered if an exam is missed.
