For a mandatory class professor Horn made it cool. She is young, honest and energetic so that makes the class not so boring. Class discussions are fun. You should get an 'A' if you show up, take notes, and do the reviews before the exams. She did not require the book for this class. If you have half a brain and just do the above, you will do fine.

There are no notes, except what you take yourself. However, her tests do go pretty well along with what she goes over. I never answered questions because she makes people feel stupid if they aren't right. Then when noone answered, she made is feel stupid for not answering. She is probably better than some old teacher, but I won't be taking her agai

If you want an A you must do two things: 1) Come to class 2) Study hard. Mrs. Horn was a fun professor. She made class interesting. She does not provide lecture notes, nor a powerpoint, so be sure to take good notes. 3 tests, group project, and final. Be aware that she does use some foul language now and then. I liked her a lot.

Professor Horn definitely has a passion for government. She is lively and keeps class interesting. She is pretty liberal - but doesn't try to force her views. Gives out a tip sheet before each test, which you will need to study to pass. She also assigns a group project which is worth a large grade. My only pet peeve is that she cussed a tad.

Professor Horn is FANTASTIC! Her lectures are fun and interesting. She actually has a great style that makes government not boring. She is funny and an absolute asset to TCC!She knows her stuff. No book required, take good notes because all test material is straight from her lectures and the notes you take . One group research project . Great class

Professor Horn is by far my favorite teacher! Her style of teaching mixes her outgoing personality and knowledge of government to make every class as interesting and entertaining as possible. I might be a little biased because i am very interested in government, but even if its not your subject she will make you atleast start to think about it more

Professor Horn is one busy woman, but she has an amazing turn around time for graded tests. Her lectures are interesting and all information needed is given through lectures. She even gives you a guide on topics she will be testing beforehand. Extra credit was a plus, and is sure to give credit where due in the one group assignment given.

I was dreading this class! I must say Professor Horn made the TX Govt bearable. Some complained about her politics however, I think she was able to maintain a balance. Some people have no tolerance for other views and go in class with a closed mind. I would definitely take one of her classes again!

I highly recommend Professor Horn. She treats you like the adult that you are, and as long as you study you will pass. I rarely showed up for class but still passed with a "B" thanks to her power points, and study guides.
