A nice and easy-going professor. No homework, only 5 exams (non-cumulative for each one). The points that you got on each exam would be accumulated (good attendence would even get you another 10 points). No need to take the fifth exam if you accumulated an A (93 points or more) on first four.

Great professor, responds to emails readily, willing to keep you up to date on your progress. 60% of your grade based on Discussion Board posts, 40% from tests, 10% ea. Gives extra cr. Willing to give extensions if necessary. You can't go wrong with her, she makes the class an enjoyable experience with no bumps for the ride. Curves on occasion.

Shes fantastic but the work can be a bit intimidating in the beginning but in the middle youll get the hang of it and find it easy to master towards the end I feel like I learned a lot from her class which was the most enjoyable part.

This class was asynchronous and included the writing intensive credit. As expected you have to write! She is not a tough grader and gives really good feed back but if you think you can "wing it" think again! She will call you out on it. Not a hard class just read the material and write! Exams are simply, short and multiple choice.

This Professor does not go with her schedule. She gave the class our first test a day earlier. Get ready to read every other day (at least) and comment on the discussion board. No less than 320 words or more than 350 words. And don't give a character a gender or sex if it is not written or she will.......

Had to drop this course, because she was doing too much. Her grading is unfair and she does not go by the schedule she uploaded to blackboard. Even if you complete her work and answer as written it is not enough, so you do not get credit for it. It is like taking a writing-intensive course, with a professor that does whatever they want.

Look for another professor. She does not go with her schedule. She gives feedback; I'll give her that. Even if you complete her work, she claims that you didn't do it right, so you do not get credit for it, or you'll have to redo the assignment.

I am glad that I did Chapter 10 early. I am looking at students who sent in their work today. This Professor said ". Please note that unless I see you are using the same language and findings of the theory, your post will not earn any points. " I feel l like not a lot of us will be getting all our credit for that discussion Board if any.

This was an asynchronous winter class. Only interaction is through discussion board. 4 test 12 discussion board post 350 words. Dont listen to these other kids. Its a winter class what did you expect. She is fantastic and this was an easy A class. Im sure these bad reviews were from students who wasnt planning to work or they tried to BS it.

This course was ok. Just do what the professor assigns you to do. I do not agree with knocking someone's experience out the way, because you experience better. The only way to know is to take this course for yourself.

This professor was an interesting one. If you missed like one thing on the DB, automatic 0 and sometimes she wont let you redo the DB which is unfair because some students were allowed a redo. She got mad that students asked for an extension even though she was the one who changed the due date on the final & shows bias. Stay away from her.

This professor is truly one of the most understanding professors I have ever met. She gives a lot of extensions if need be no matter what is your situation. She really cares if students understand the materials. Her lectures are very informative and interesting. I really recommend taking her she gives great feedback and her grading policy is clear.

Grading criteria are clear, although what she expects isn't 100% clear on some discussion posts but if you mess up you get a chance to repost. If you do the readings the exams are easy and once you get 93% you can skip the rest of the assignments/exams. Gives extra credit. Extensions are allowed if you ask in advance. No lectures, just readings.

Do the readings and the work exactly as she says or else you won't pass at all! She can give extensions and re-dos if you ask for them ahead of time. But in all honesty, I wouldn't take her again. For the main fact is that if you do mess up or stray from the path she wants you on she'll throw a fit. Though she can be fair when she's not its hell.

I took Professor Hallak for Spring'25, and she was the best. When I entered her class, there was no such thing as phone time. Not that she did not allow you to use your phone, but once I sat down, I was so interested in what she had to say. She gives a few participation quizzes and only 4 ONLINE take-home exams. I loved her, and you will too!

Professor Hallak was one of the sweetest professors. I took her 5 week summer course which consisted of 10ish discussions, 300 words each and 4 exams- 20 mc questions. She also added assignments to help boost your grade as well as exercises which were fairly easy. She really wants you to do well and will give you extensions if you ask!
