Course reader mandatory to purchase plus a book and novel you'd be reading as the theme for the quarter. Test are a paragraph for each answer and expects to be a fully constructed paragraph (analyze the readings, hence READ 211). Takes the whole class time once in a while you'll get to leave early, but she's really good at explaining the activities

She is a bit rude to students sometimes & doesn't watch what she says. She can hurt people's feelings if she isn't careful. She tries to go over simple things that we can figure out on our own just to fill up the time. She will call you out if you don't give her 100% of your attention & her teaching style makes you want to leave her class.

Have a different way of taking notes? Sorry mind maps is how you gotta do it otherwise no credit. Want to make flashcards for vocabulary? Nope Vocab Maps you gotta study from. If something isn't done her way then it's the highway for you bub. DROP this class before it's too late. Otherwise you'll just get annoyed at her teaching.

Her grading goes by full points. She's really anal about turning in homework and doing everything HER way. She always started off with complaining about computer and technology difficulties. She even told the class about it giving her a bad rate in the beginning of the quarter. Requires 70% on the final test or you will fail class.

She is a good teacher. She makes objectives clear, demonstrates, and explains. There is a lot of group work. You are expected to participate. You can communicate with her and she will help you with challenges. She is passionate about her subject and humorous at times. I am doing well in all my classes.

I had to drop this class with a W because I felt like I was in a psychology class not reading. She wants specific answers and one time she marked our papers wrong even though the question was asking for an opinion. Lots of group work in class. She tries to be easy going and funny but is not really. I sound harsh, but this was y experience.

I have learned a lot from this professor and so my confidence has grown. She does have higher standards than you are may be used to, but will give you the strategies. She does this by explaining, demonstrating, and gives great feedback. She is there when you need her.

She is a good teacher, she motivates her students to learn. Her grading however is very tough because she needs very specific answers when it comes to answering her questions on quizzes or any homework assignments.

This class will not teach you to read at all. Avoid this professor at all costs. She expects you to write exact same words in your assignments and homeworks that she taught in the class. She will literally take off points for every little thing.

I barely survived taking her class. She does encourage you to try and learn, but REALLY makes you work for it. Her grading is very strict and if you use a synonym of a word, it can b wrong and your assignment could drop a letter grade. If you love being pushed around a lot while your self esteem lowers, then take this class
