Nice Lady. Good Professor. I would love to take her again. I took here in the summer. Didn't struggle at all and made an A!
THis lady like to talk. I had her for a minimester and we had the funnest time. She really gets the class into some good discussions. She is also fair on tests no trying to fool you just follow the notes and get an A. Would recommend her any day.
She was an awesome professor and truly if you follow the notes you definitely get an A. A good conversationist.
this class was a waste of my time not focused at all very boring and irritating
Great instructor, she enjoys the topics she teaches. She likes to help develop critical thinking in her class discussions. Follow the notes, pay attention and you should earn an A.
This class is for you if you enjoy discussions. You aren't required to speak up, but she likes it if you do. Discussions and off-topic talks take up the majority of this course. Otherwise, you copy/type down the notes that she displays on the wall. Her tests are based off of the notes and are quite easy if you remember key details.
she is a wonderful teacher and her classes are very interesting if you like hearing about world news and stories. Theres pretty much no outside work that she gives and no quizzes so make sure you study the test she gives you. Her test she gives you is exactly like the notes she hands out, so if you study, you shouldn't have a problem.
She is an adorable little woman with a strong will. She is firm but respectful. The class is simple and straight forward if you attend and read the chapters and it's hard if you skip or disappear. She is friendly and funny. Discussions are frequent and always interesting.
excellent teacher, knowledgeable of govt politics,learned and reinforce on govt issue, test are great , give notes to study , tests are over the notes from her outline, easy A in her class, very nice and pleasent, respectful and always to her point across, I would recommend her for govt 2305 & 2306
Turn your brain off and come for an easy A. Other than that, the teacher fundamentally misunderstands some concepts and issues, gets defensive if you present a point of view that differs from hers, easily gets offended (term "illegal alien" offends her), is annoyingly PC, gets condescending and patronizing when she starts losing an argument.
This lady is an awesome teacher. I took her class for the wintermester. I was worried I would be swamped with work, but that wasnt it AT ALL. Awesome teacher, awesome A!
An awesome teacher! Teaches very well and is very clear with what she expects. So nice and helpful! Her tests are not comprehensive. One of the best teachers I've ever had!
I LOVE THIS MRS. MUSGROVE! This class is super easy. Just four tests and no other assignments. She makes US Government interesting by allowing lots of open discussion. She is a really sweet and helpful woman. I would definitely recommend her to anyone taking government.
I love this teacher. She is excellent in everything she does. Very easy class to take. YOu get to use notes on 2 of your test including mid term and final. Very helpful very educated and very understanding.
SUPER EASY GRADE. I went 2class regularly @ the begining now only go 4 assignment dates and tests. u get 2 use notes for 2 of the tests. I dont even take notes in her class she doesnt say anything worth writing down. she gets offended easily and puts her view point in too much i think 4 a teacher. doesnt like to lose an arguement. but easy class.
Awesome teacher, she makes it very clear on what will be covered on the test so no surprises. The 3 other assigments we had were fairly simple, she grades pretty easy. She does have her own point of view.. but it is a Gov't class..so get over it! I would definately recommend her for US Gov't.
This lady is cool and very smart. Her assignments are crystal clear. She seems to be concerned about her students understanding government than being an extremely hard-grader. Class lectures are mainly about personal opinions on govt matters. She doesn't seem to be easily offended to me, but willing to challenge opinions. That's what govt. is about
Awesome professor! Lots of open discussion, allows students to express their opinions, and is very helpful. Definitely would recomend her!!!
She is a fabulous teacher! I am taking her for May term and I love her! A lot of open discussions and listens to all of her students! Assignments are fairly easy but she teaches you like no other!
I took her for a mini-mester and she is great!! Her assignments are clear there was a paper and 4 tests but the tests are from the lecture notes so if you listen you will do well. I would recommend her and am looking forward to TX Govt now.
I don't like the fact that I was 1/600th of a point away from passing her class with an A and didn't get the A...She doesn't bump, doesn't care for the student, doesn't bother keeping in touch with anyone, doesn't bother teaching she just reads from a pointless powerpoint and lets stupid people talk all the time and waste class time. AVOID! AVOID!
DO NOT take this online! she may be an amazing teacher in person, but the online class is HARD. No excuse is good enough for her-absolutely NO late work! Many essays, tests, etc.
Horrible online! DO NOT TAKE HER!! She is extremely rude and inconsistent. After being shut out of a quiz-she made my life hell but let my husband retake it with no problems! When I confronted her about it, she blamed me and acted like she was being SO nice! All quizes are very hard and you write an essay almost every week!
All assignments are pretty simple and straightforward. Just study her powerpoints and you'll get by with a breeze. A lot of open discussions and can get boring at times, but other than that, I enjoyed listening in.
very good Professor, love the open mic, on issues. Learned alot and open my eyes on voting and Texas laws. .
She is a sweet lady and she makes it very easy to earn an A in this class.
Took her for spring 09'. She is a great professor, super nice, funny, and knowledgeable. Attendance is not mandatory and her assignments are really easy. You will get a high grade if you try. Definitely recommend her!!!
Easy A+ class. She posts online Powerpoints and reviews them in class. The tests are directly based off of the powerpoints, but all tests and quizzes are super easy... She is VERY LIBERAL, and is usually off topic during class talking about what ever she personally believes in as a Liberal. But Overall a VERY easy A+ class and good GPA booster.

Online Class- Provides plenty of info, resources. Slow responding to emails and corrected quizzes. Exams were to the point. I would recommend the teacher. Got an A and you have to work for it. Don't blow off quizzes- exams mostly come from them directly.
Wonderful teacher! A lot of talking about everyday life in her class but to me it's entertaining. She gives out quizzes and homework which will help you pass, trust me the work is not hard, it's actually helpful. She takes the time out to do a power point outline which is extremely helpful in her class. If you try you will definitely pass.
EASY A. THE CLASS IS VERY BORING AND SHE PUSHES HER POINT OF VIEW TOO MUCH. SHE ALSO MAKES SOME INAPPROPRIATE COMMENTS AT TIMES (ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALING WITH RACE), BUT EASY EASY A.
She is a very nice teacher. Her classes are easy buy she still makes you work for an A, its not given to you. The main problem that I have is she pushes a liberal agenda and makes conservatives out to be out of touch. As an instructor she should leave her bias at the door.
Nice lady but..Very liberal, Loves Jerry Springer, once told story of taking slices of bread from loaves at 7-11 when she worked there for snacks. Birthday June 19th and very proud of it. Never had her in class though.
the begining was very rocky for me, b-cause she emailed me the wrong info about book she was using. So the first quiz and discussion board I did not do to well. However once I got the book it was pretty easy. I think it would've have been fair for her to allow me to retake the quiz and db, since she told me the wrong book.
Aww, Mrs.M is such a cool and cute lil lady. She speaks her mind and has a right to her opinion. It's govt. people, be serious! She covers alot of important information and is completely clear on anything assigned (papers, quizzes, ect.) You will have fun and if you study her power points you will make an easy A!
She is a nice lady, but teachers are not supposed to push their bias in the classroom. She pushes a Democrat/Liberal agenda. One thing that really stuck out for me was,She forgets to mention Democrats are the party of slavery, poll taxes, literacy tests, black codes, Jim Crow laws, etc. She leaves this out because it makes Democrats look bad.
I took online. Teacher gives NO reviews and expects you to remember 3 chapters of infor. Reviews consist of infor. you would never study for. Keep up with work -NO late work excepted. not helpful
If you are conservative, you are not going to like this class. The teacher indoctrinates liberal ideology into her students. She belittles any point of view that is not far-left liberalism. I don't know how she has been allowed to continue teaching this way. Think for yourself and take another teacher.
Very very bias teacher and she lets you know her views... and doesn't have a problem shutting you out if she doesn't agree. The entire class period consisted of teacher and classmates debating CONSTANTLY about political issues. I made an A but don't have a clue what I learned as all I remember is bickering over Obama and the welfare system.
No need for the book, all her test are straight from her Power Points. Study the PP's and you should breeze through. Attendance Mandatory as she sizes you up from that. I took her for MiniMester and got an A. If youre looking for a coast class , this one is NOT for you.
I have now taken her for BOTH Govt classes and still dont know much about the system, but I did make an A in her class.... She is helpful and understanding if you communicate with her and she's fair. but dont take this class if you want to just coast through... You do need to study the pp's that's where test questions come from.
Learned alot in GOV class all it takes 30 min studying a day and you can get an A in this class
She is really nice and helpful. Took online, she is clear about what you need to do.
She is very nice, her tests are very very or you can say, damn easy tests as she does not trick her students on tests. I would recommend every texan. Good Luck! Take her class and enjoy jackpot
good teacher
good teacher
took her ONLINE. very unhelpful. didn't reply to my emails when I asked for help. didn't let me retake the first quiz even though i didn't know how to get to it. quizzes online are kinda of hard. It would have been easier if I had the book. other than that, shes an okay teacher.
I took this class online & it was pretty easy. Mrs.Muskgrove was easy to contact and helpful. You will need your book. We had 4 one page essays and a 2 page "term paper". I doubled spaced all of them and as long as you make sense and use correct spelling you will do well. This is exactly the kind of online class that i love.
she is so helpful and is always smiling :) i loved this class ....easy grades to make with the assignments and easy quizzes just study from the power points and will pass ..... I'm taking her on the summer on my online class :)
Nice and very easy to learn from. Take her,you will be glad that you did.
Took online. Super easy... You do need the bok for quizes! Dont have to read. She gives u plenty of time to look up the ?s as u go. 2 one pg essays and one 2 pg essay. easy easy easy!!!
Had her for an online class during the summer semester, at first seemed a little overwhelming, but was actually quite easy. She grades essays very easy. Her online tests are a little tough and sometimes the questions don't coincide with the chapters. Overall highly recommend her!
took her for my first govt class at south campus and after that i knew i had to take her for the second govt class (texas govt 2306) she is clear and zoo helpful i recommend her she is awesome
Took this class in 8 weeks over the summer. Gov doesn't interest me at all but I aced it because she makes it so easy! I took 4 classes this summer and breezed through her online class. The quizzes count as test, 25 questions and you get an hour! Just awesome!!!
AWESOME TEACHER!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DID I SAY AWESOME??? ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER SHE'S THE BEST BY FAR!!
TAKE HER! I love her real easy, fun, she is by far the best. If you want an easy A that she is the teacher!
This teacher repeat everything if you need help she will help you. You are allow to comment on the subject. what I like the most she is so full of informatation. She does not put up with foolishness in her class. I hated the class was over. Good job Professor Musgrove.
Online summer course. You need the book. 7 quizzes, 4 discussion boards, 2 essays, 1 term paper, 1 final exam. Was easy except quizzes. The questions asked are somewhat vague and there can be multiple answers per question. Gives an hour for 25 questions, but you have to read the chapters in depth because they require you to really think. She was ok
7 quizzes, 2 essays, 4 discussion boards. you need the book. only issue i had is that she never responded to my emails. Ever. Example, I had trouble uploading the assignment, I never heard back even though I emailed her several times. Eventually sought help from another student.
I worked my tail off on my essays and she gave hard grades on them. She found the silliest things wrong with them. The quiz grades weren't accurate. I noticed on one particular quiz that a few of the answers she said were correct were actually wrong. I emailed about that and she never wrote back. She isn't great at responding to emails.
Martha is a great teacher.Her great knowledge of the subject matter gets you hooked up to listening.Exams are from the notes. Getting an A is very easy.
I have mixed feelings about her. She's OKAY. Class is *fairly* easy (Took online, and quizzes are pretty VAGUE & unclear) Textbook use is high. Discussion boards were the easiest grades. She is not helpful tho!! Emailed her multiple times -- is slow to reply & doesn't help you at all
Horrible teacher. Constantly changed assignments at last second, very vague on assignments, will NOT help you, narrow minded on many political subjects, and argues with her students if anyone questions her opinions or teaching method. Avoid her.
Great teacher! Very fair. Makes class interesting, and is helpful if you talk to her in person. Very glad I took her class.
I enjoy this teacher. She is very knowledgeable about the what is happening today's world. I like the fact that she is very engaging and willing to listen. If you follow the power points and lecture you CAN PASS this class.
She is an amazing teacher. If you ask for help she is willing and her class is very interesting. The test are multiple choice and as long as you know the chapter outlines you will pass.she gives the powerpoints in advance so as long as you try it should be a easy A I recommend her shes awesome:-) taking her for texas government too
The class overall is fairly easy if use the book. However, if you are a student who needs to communicate with your instructor then this class isn't for you. Unlike other students, she did at least respond to one of my emails. In that email, she stated that I need to read something that she never posted. She doesn't help you at all but the is ok.
she is hard! totally not satisfied. Quiz questions are tricky and convoluted.
Very helpful and nice. If you take good notes and go over her reviews for test you will do good.
Good teacher, didn't use book but once very helpful, makes lectures fun. I plan on taking her for both government classes.
super easy took her for federal and texas gov essays easy test are mutiple choice and true and false loved her made me stress free of this class
Super easy, study power points and you will do fine. test are straight forward easy A.
AWESOME TEACHER!!! I love her spirit. she is pleasent and cares about her students. she makes government fun and knowledgealbe.
I would not recommend taking this course to anyone. Very unclear quizzes that can be confusing. No extra credit provided, no reviews. Hard grader on papers. I have made A's in both English I and II, and she grades harder than any of my English professors. Not a fun course. Do not take. If you need all A's for your program, good luck in here!
I am an A student and struggling to keep that in here!!! Quizzes are terrible. I have double checked my answers counted wrong on EVERY single quiz according to what the book says, and she won't give points. No extra credit, no reviews, grades hard on essays and quizzes. Run. This is not an enjoyable online class like it should be!
I personally never have liked nor passed government, but she can explain everything even though the tests are hard if you do good in your assignments and study, you should be good. I love the class and there is not a comprehensive final.
This was the easiest class I've taken at TCC. Her instructions are clear, tests are not hard at all if you pay attention to the power point slides and remember terms. 4 assignments which are fun and one page maximum. She's such a sweet and fun professor, can't wait to take her for GOVT 2306 in the fall!
Very sweet lady. I loved her class. Her tests were kind of tricky but I never studied them & I still passed. She will answer all questions you have & help you to her best ability. If you stay on one subject for a long time it will make the class go by pretty fast because she can definitely talk LClasI recommend her class to anyone.
Mrs. Musgrove is a wonderful professor. I took her for Texas state and local government & federal government. She made class so enjoyable with her relevant jokes. She is a sweet and patient lady. There are not many like her. Tests are some true and false and multiple choice. Textbook not required. Put in the work and get good grades.
Mrs. Musgraves is an awesome professor. I highly enjoyed this course and really got into government when she taught it. She was always full of energy and wanting to include the class to make lectures not boring. Leaves powerpoints online for later study or catch up. Sweet sweet lady. Tests are relatively easy, just study what's on the powerpoint.
Ms. Musgrove is honestly the best. Each week she has lessons and discussion boards prepared and they were always available by monday morning through the due date. Not a hard grader. If you take this class online, go for skimming the power points and skimming the chapter, then use the book and google for tests. Always responds to emails.
Awesome teacher, took her for online summer 1, book is needed, she's organized, very easy grading and easy weekly assignments, test are from the book but yet easy (common sense ?s), there's only 2 written assignments super easy as well. Would take her again any time possible.
Awesome professor. This semester has been horrible for me except for this class! I have definitely learned a lot and never felt lost or confused. We had 3 assignments; 2 one-page essays and a crossword puzzle. I'm awful at essays but got A's on both. 4 tests and the final. Sweetest lady ever. Put in some studying time and you will pass!
Sweet lady, and I loved her class. Tests are lecture/book based. I would take her again if I had the opportunity. The only "issue" I would say she has is distraction. She is easily distracted by students and they converse most of the class period. Other than that, great professor.
I enjoyed Ms. Musgrove Government class. 4 writing assignments which are easy & 5 tests including the final. The tests are T/F and multiple choice. Would take her again if she was doing Texas Government for the spring but unfortunately she is not
gets distracted very fast. will be off topic the whole class if a student gets her started , but other than that she is pretty easy. funny, and a nice lady. Tests are t/f and multiple choice. One test grade was a crossword puzzle (take home).
Mrs. Musgrove is an excellent professor. She lays out the schedule at the beginning so there is no excuse to not complete work on time. She only has 6 tests and didn't require a final. Two essays are required, but they are easy. I would definitely recommend her. There are a few discussion boards, but very easy. A+ overall.
You are told of all the requirements and assignments at the beginning of the semester. Had to write 2 papers, but not too tough. The tests are timed and a little too short for my taste. This course is very organized.
Assignments were clear on what to do! There was only two paper assignments we had to do and one of them was just filling the blanks. DB were fairly easy. Quizzes and Test were easy if you read the material and took notes.
I took Miss Musgrove for the online 8wk course. She has clear instructions and as long as they're followed and completed you should make an A. She sometimes is slow with email responses. 4 tests,1 final, 2 essays and discussion boards. Simple. I'd definitely recommend her especially over summer and online.
Miss Musgrove is straight forward with her expectations and there are no surprises. Her feedback is OK however you can grow old waiting for her to reply to an email. I'd take her again but the lack of communication is frustrating!
This was by far the easiest class I have ever taken. I took it online and you can easily google the answers to all of her tests. Tests are 50 questions, multiple choice or true false and you have an hour to complete them. I recommend taking her if you are looking for an easy A.
The worst thing about this class is the 30 minutes given to do the online tests of 25 questions. You either know it, or you don't! At times up to 90 pages of material for the 25 questions. LOTS of reading! Final Term Paper is extensive. Plan accordingly. Final is on all 12 chapters of material you've studied from day 1.
All her test are multiple choice. She makes her lectures interesting and truly makes sure everyone understands what she is talking about. Take good note, listen to her lectures, and read the chapter you'll be guaranteed an A
She is a awesome teacher,but make sure you don't skip class because her lectures will be on the test. She only gives one extra credit assignment at the beginning of the year. I would take her again and she is a fair grader
Missing one day is a real set back unless you have someone take notes for you. I recommend recording the lectures so you can go back later and clear any misunderstanding on your notes. I only used the book was for reference. extra credit provided and recommend to do it. She will clear any misunderstanding you may have to ensure you pass her test.
I love this teacher! She is the sweetest lady ever! Even if i missed class, it wouldn't hurt me as much because she uploaded her notes on blackboard. Made it so much easier to take notes in her class. She did move a bit fast, but she will stop if you need her to. I only needed the book for two assignments, easy to ask a classmate for pictures!
If you love hearing her one-sided political views for a whole class lecture, then this class is for you! Her class is easy and she is a nice and helpful professor. Unfortunately, she can't seem to remove her personal feelings from the lectures so the lectures tend to be more of a political fight than teachings from the book about government. Easy A
Easy class, but she is dumb. She constantly got facts wrong, and when she was unsure, she would just make stuff up. Told us one time that the Defense of Marriage Act was signed by George Bush and said that "if you have a baby, then you have to get married." LOL. Thinks the Articles of Confederation is the same as the Bill of Rights. I could go on.
I took this class online for summer II. Clear instructions, 4 DB, 2 one pg essays, 5 tests including final. Just ready your book and turn assignments in on time and you'll do fine.
She will sit in class all day and tell you about how much she loves Bill Clinton and Obama. It's actually gotten to the point where it is down right annoying! She belittles the President almost daily. I don't care who you voted for, at all actually, but you should NEVER shove your opinion down someone's throat day in and day out. DO NOT BOTHER!!!!!
The whole class is laid out for you on the syllabus. As Long as you listen during the lectures and take notes, you won't need to read the book. the only time I opened my book was to reference in one of the essays. Easy A class if you remember what was said in the lectures and review notes before test.
She provides enough info to pass the class but you have to study well. She is kinda grumpy and tedious but she is great for this class.
Professor Musgrove was a great teacher! Her class was easy, her test were easy and the little assignments she assigned were not hard at all. She didnt provide extra credit. That would have been amazing, but you really didnt need it due to how easy the class was. I WOULD RECOMMEND
Good teacher, wouldn't take again though. She focuses only on tests. MUST take notes on everything she writes/presents on PPT, or you won't pass anything. She says a textbook is mandatory, but I did perfectly fine without. She has powerpoints that cover the textbook. She talks from beginning to end so be ready to focus.
her email responses when you have a question about an assignment are so shady and immature.
Not a hard class but she does require a lot of work. The only thing i did not like is there was no test review.
I had her for government 1301 and she was very lecture based and she made us write 3 papers and we had a midterm and a final exam. She does provide powerpoints that help a lot when studying for the exams. Attendance was not required but if you want to pass then you need to go. Very boring lectures.
Worst class i ever take , she barely does power points and when she does , she goes really fast , also she talks through the whole class, and doesn't give test reviews, she expects students to read the chapters and still her test are not over them, she barely responds to emails, not taking this class again, waste of money.
Enjoyed the class. Beware that sometimes what she writes on the board will be on the test and it is no where else (book/powerpoints) so show up to class. Doesn't use scantrons. She made one test a crossword puzzle which was fun. A few papers but they are super easy. If you present your paper you get 10 points toward your grade. Very nice teacher.
Dr. Musgrove is one of the best instructors I have ever had. I hate government but she makes it so interesting. Anyone who can't pass her class probably doesn't need to be in college. Her lectures are so interesting and relatable.
This lady is so smart. I love her class. You will learn something every day in her class. A lot of reading and note taking is required but that's what a college class is supposed to be about.
This was the best online course I have ever taken. I wish all of my online classes were this good. Dr. Musgrove responded to emails within about 8 hours, which was good because I know she also teaches in-classroom classes. When I stopped by during her office hours, she was always amazing and thorough with explaining everything.
AMAZING PROFESSOR! THIS IS WHAT COLLEGE IS ALL ABOUT. I LOVE IT!
Dr. Musgrove is an amazing professor and she cares about your success in her class.
Dr. Musgrove is an good professor. Her lectures can be a little long, but short enough to always get out of her class early. Also she only give out extra credit, 3 assignments, 4 test, and a final exam, which you should all pass if you just study and listen to her powerpoints. This class can be a good A/B.
one of my favorite professors this past semester, she is so caring and really tries to help us learn. some might say her class is boring but i really enjoyed it since i learned alot ! would totally recommend her for gov. just as long as you take noes and pay attention youll easily pass her class.
Good professor she is very smart and talks very professionally I didnt buy the book and I passed so its not really necessary even though she said to buy it. Her lectures can seem a little boring but other than the small amounts of work its pretty easy
This was class was pretty much self taught. You read the chapters and took the tests. There was a few discussion boards and two papers. It matters that you do well on the tests because they were the majority of your grade and there weren't that many other assignments. And there was a lot of reading. But overall not a very hard class.
I took Professor Musgrove for government online. The course like others have stated is all about the textbook. Should be easy for those who are good at studying. There were writing assignments, discussion boards and two papers. I felt that she is a pretty lenient grader and really wants you to do well in her class. I Would highly recommend her!!!!
This professor is not hard but studying Is necessary. Most things are stuff learned back in elementary, middle, and high school. She is very punctual with her due dates so if you missed an assignment dont think youll convince her into giving you more time.
This was one of the easiest classes Ive ever taken. The assignments were very simple and never took much effort to complete. Martha Musgrove was always very clearly on her instructions and I appreciated that she did not give out much work. Please make sure to sign up for this class with Martha Musgrove! Amazing Professor!
The textbook was required to get, and there was a lot of reading that needed to be done out of it. She did provide chapter notes which helped quite a bit as well.
Pretty decent course. Nothing out of the ordinary. All work is given background information with chapter presentations and videos so the class is pretty easy. There is a decent amount of reading needed but it isn't too heavy.
Was a great class. The tests are not bad, there are two papers that are only one page length. Discussion boards are easy. There are not too many assignments. I missed a test and still passed the class. If I would have taken the test, I would have had and easy A
she was the absolute best. enjoyed her class very much. you do have to read and also study. her test come straight out of the textbook. communicated well too. always responded. take her you want regret it.
She isn't really all that active, but the class is clear and concise. Her criteria are listed clearly, and there's really no reason not to pass as long as you do the reading and turn in your assignments on time.
Dr. Musgrove is a pretty easy teacher. She understands what she's teaching and it fast at grading for a summer course. Her material is easy to learn and assigns three assignments a week (DB, Assignment, and Exam) She doesn't give much feedback or anything but it's an easy teacher for an easy required course.
Okay teacher, very politically biased and will let you know her heavy political opinions, regardless of how irrelevant they are.
She's very down to earth. the class is graded on a point system insted of percentages. for each test she gave us a review. one of them she let us use notes and textbook. and she even made one of the tests a take-home crossword puzzle. It's a very chill class, and honestly, it's not hard to make an A if you just do your work. Would def recommend.
Overall good prof, but hard class.
If you want an easy A take this class, plus if you want to learn she will teach you, it all depends on the interest you have in the class. Very understandable, patient and sweet teacher. She makes tests and assignments more fun and easier to do and order. Take this class. I recommend it 100000%.
Took her 16-week semester class, grading criteria are clear. Two writing assignments. Only a handful of tests and only one was a closed-book test. The others were open book, notes, and internet access. I enjoyed that she engages with the class and asks our opinions. Definitely take her, she is a sweetheart, and her class is not stressful.
An easy A
I completed her 16-week semester course. The class comprised two writing assignments, a closed-book test, and a final. However, notes were allowed for other assessments. Her comprehensive lectures made the material easily understandable. Taking notes on her lecture content usually aligned with the test format. I highly recommend her class.
Easiest A ! took the 8 week course and loved that she had very few assignments and was really sweet .
There was a decent amount of reading. Assignments were super easy and she graded very leniently. She made us write a white paper, which I know that I did not pick the best topic or do my best writing on, but she still gave me a 100.
Very sweet and easy professor. She's funny and very opinionated in a good way. Grades are completely reliant on like 4 grades. One was open note the other was literally a crossword puzzle, and another one was a presentation. She does require a textbook but don't get it, save yourself the $50, trust me. I paid and literally never opened it.
She is very caring and professional when it comes to lecturing. She is a very strong woman as well, I genuinely do look up to her. Also, her class wasn't too hard. Even the essay we wrote was not crazy. I would retake her class again.
Dr. Musgrove cares if you do well in the class. She is very thoughtful with her assignments as well as her feedback. If you devote the time needed and read the text and PowerPoints provided, you will do very well in this class. She is available to help and wants the students to succeed. She does not use respondus or proctoring.
I took her class for Gov2305 and plan to take it again for Gov2306. It was the easiest class ever. I took it along with four others and had no issues with time management. It's the easiest A you will ever get in college. Also, don't buy the textbook for the essay she wants you to list it as a resource just do that you won't need to read it. TAKE IT
Dr. Musgrove was great, and such a breeze while taking three other classes. It was one quiz per week. Plenty of time to study and the final was fair. I definitely would take her class again. I wish I was able to take her for my next government class!
Overall, an easy A class with a lenient grading professor. While the workload can be manageable, using tools like Unstuck study alongside the textbook can really help simplify the prep. Definitely recommend this course if you're looking for an engaging yet straightforward elective.
This class was very easy in my opinion, the grading is not as harsh, and there's not a lot of work I just wish that the professor dropped everything instead of a week before it is due so we have time to prepare for up coming assignments.
Frustrating experience. Notes and assignments weren't unlocked until a week before due dates, making it stressful. Communicated poorly over email. She wasn't great at navigating online classes. Hard tests with questions not covered in the book. Frequently graded the tests wrongly. She did meet with me and went over test questions I missed.
Very clear on assignments, and what's expected. Test were not difficult if you study the material provided. Her test are a combination of textbook, powerpoint, and notes, she will write the important notes on the board while lecturing.
Dr Musgrove was very opinion based which I did not like at first but it had nothing to do with my grade so I stopped caring about that. She will educate you throughout the semester and she is very lenient which is such a relief. Take notes and read the power points and you will be just fine.
Professor Musgrove was great. Very simple class and straight to the point. Make sure to study for the tests! They're all mostly yes/no questions. Read the slides and use the textbook if needed. Be prepared to use lockdown browser. Get all your assignments in on time. I accidentally missed one and I wish I wouldn't have. Take her!
I took this class during the summer, which lasted about 30 days. Overall, the professor is straight forward with expectations and grading policy. There's LOTS of reading! There were about 4 chapters to read per week, plus a discussion board, 1 page paper due and an exam each week. Only con is that tests didn't necessarily cover material from book.
I took this course over the summer, so it was pretty accelerated. There's a ton of reading and a discussion board due each week. I don't recall some of the material on the tests being covered on the tests, but as long as you read the chapters and study you'll be fine. Not all exams were proctored, but some were. You also have to pay for your ebook!
If you have SARS do NOT select her class. She will NOT work with any of your SARS accommodations or acknowledge you have them. Also make sure to have a paper trail ready, because she would go back on her word a lot for times you have to make assignments up in her class. Thus, she falsly graded me. I would give 0 stars on everything if I could.
