Dr. Stone should have your job!! Poor teacher. Boring, identity crisis. You learn nothing.
Do not take her class. Some of the stuff she tells us just to make a point and they aren't true. If you ask a question about something, the information changes from the first time it was told to us.
She has a chip on her shoulder.
BORING!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't know what shes talking about and test are confusing as hell
terrible teacher! The class would be interesting if she presented the material in a different manner, but her thoughts and notes are unclear! Definitely don't recommend taking her--the class is fine, but she's aweful!
confusing class, sluring words, can we say pointless.
I hate this class! She has no idea whats going on EVER. She confuses me more than teaches me anything. I say DO NOT TAKE HER! She sucks.
Dude, just because her students are a bunch of closed minded white people who dont see their own privilages, dont accept other peoples cultures and ways of thinking-or even try to understand by keeping an open mind, DOESNT MEAN SHE IS A BAD TEACHER!
She is the wrost teacher I have ever had in my entire LIFE!! DO NOT TAKE IT!! You will defiently regret it. The class it self could have been very interesting but the teacher...ug....don't do it!!
From the first day of class, I hated it. It is very difficult to learn anything from a "PhD" that you seem to outclass in intellect. The denture and drool comments are true, but let's not forget the crotch rubbing and greasy hair.
So the class is super easy, the final only took me 10 min. so those are the perks if you can stand an uniteresting woman who apparently can't find her teeth in the morning and has no clue what she is saying. it has nothing to do with being white.
I think this woman does more to perpetuate stereotypes than to eliminate them. Saying "I don't care if you're green with purple polka dots" as often as she does relates people of color to aliens from space. She offers no opportunities for intera
Have taken two classes with her, 100, and upper-level. Her teaching style may well be too sophisticated for lower level students used to being spoon-fed mindless pap (hence, the comment about "seeming" to have a "greater intellect."
Worst professor by far that I have encountered in all my years as a student!! Screwed up the tests so badly that ?'s had to be thrown out all the time, messed up grades severely, didn't get stuff across clearly, information was always missing for rea
She is very unclear, and treats us like we're imbisiles.
She is the worst teacher that I have ever had, test questions have to be thrown out and she says she is not trying to change your opinion, YA RIGHT, you have to be her, in her mind, she even calls people **** when someone trys to give their point
She was the worst profesor that I have ever had. She was lazy and unorganized. She would throw out questions from the test because the students would correct her. How she has the title of Dr. amazes me.
As a teacher and a person; Ahhhhhh!!!The class itself is easy. Make sure to keep up on readings and don't take notes on videos- they're never on the tests.
this was a good class if your fellow classmates are open and talkative. it got a little slow, and her analogies sometimes seemed, well, off... but over all she was pretty good and the class was too.
I think I found the worst professor on campus. It's required for Gen. Ed. and its really not difficult, but she is awful. How is she a doctor?
i think she's nuts
The worst professor I have ever have-- she's not only hard to understand because she refuses to wear dentures, but she also rambles confusedly. She lets long pauses continue when discussions flop, and her tests are utterly ridiculous.
I loved Sarah Schillenger!! You basically never have to read and her lectures are usually interesting. Anyone who gave Schillenger a bad rating is stupid. Her tests are easy as hell. really.
This was an annoying class. She always tried to encourage students to share their opinions, but once they did, she'd always jump all over them/ shut them down. Friend used to ask me, "Ready for another day of 'White Man's the Devil?'"
I dreaded the class, because every day I got to feel horrible for being a white male. She encouraged discussions but just argued with anyone who talked. Easy A if you just don't talk and accept that if you are white you will feel bad.
Really needs to master the material better. Another Affirmative Action quota filled. Too bad the students lose!!
SAVE YOURSELF, you'll be miserable
A somewhat lazy professor...she makes unnecessary racial comments, about whites and not-whites, with nothing to back them up. She is an inconsistent grader and grades 15% on participation, yet doesn't know any of the students names.
Gotta love the hair toss!
The laziest teacher ever. Likes showing pointless videos and arguing with everyones point of opinion. Dont take the class if your religous or have previous biases or she will rip you apart. Otherwise do what I did keep your mouth shut and you'll do fine.
crazy and unorganized. people don't like her cause they don't like to hear what european-americans have done in the past to everybody they had a chance to harm: mexico, native americans, japanese and she'll let you know. not clear, but an easy class, no homework ever
wow is she hot! this has to be the easiest class you will ever take in your like. their are 4 weeks left and we have never recieved a single thing for homework. tests aren t terrible but even if u r stupid the curves are 50% right is passing. easy a. white man is the devil!
She wouldnt wear her teeth to class sometimes! Okay, she was a pretty easy teacher, but the class was terribly boring and she has no idea how to teach. Writes random things on the board and is just not a good teacher, but for an easy A or AB and a boring semester...go with her
This class is kick-ass! Easy A. Write 2 short papers, which she will never read (everyone gets 100% if they turn it in). Also, WATCH OUT for the hair toss...it's SO HOTT! I enjoy coming to class to listen to STUPID people try and argue with DR. Sarah Shillinger! You CAN'T win! Some ppl never learn!
bla bla
She's really not that bad. Class was very boring at first, but a couple topics were actually interesting. She is very stuck in her own opinions though, so i recommend asking questions (she loves that) but not fighting your own beliefs or opinions. Pretty easy class overall
The class is very easy. However, she is messy and will never let you be right. She also loses peoples papers and gives them incorrect grades. Only take her if you have to!!!!
Is a horrible teacher..gives you the wrong grade and then argues about it with you...i thought it was an easy A until i got my grade...doesn't know how to teach and is very unorganized...she loses peoples paper, ones that she doesnt even read...
One of the easiest possible classes you can take. It is incredibly boring but you will get an A or AB. I'm not the brightest person in the world but if you show up to class and write down the random things she puts on the board, you will get at least a B on the exam. GPA booster for sure!
This class is very hard to stay awake with having her as the professor. Very unorganized! Easy class if you read the material and take the notes. If I knew there was this website before I took the class, I would not of taken this class with her!
she really made the class interesting. her notes are a lil difficult to understand, so make sure you are concentrating during class. otherwise, she is a good prof
zzzzzzz.....wow, by far the worst teacher ive ever had. i walk out of the class wondering, what in the hell am i doing in this class yet. do not take her. save yourself.
She will not accept your opinion so don't argue with her. She teaches some very misguided facts, but you must accept them. The notes are put on the overhead, basically copy them word for word and don't listen to her rambling. And watch out for that sexy sexy hair flip!!
By far the worst teacher I have ever had. Basically all she does is list inaccurate facts that you have to accept. Overall this course is pretty easy (multiple choice tests and two short papers) but she likes to test on obscure parts of the readings that she never mentions in lecture. Dont take her!
What a worthless class. I learned a lot more about minority groups by tutoring them than I did sitting in this class. Mainly talks about black and native american opression when hmong and hispanic are the groups we would encounter most on campus. Class is easy. She loses papers, takes forever to get tests back, and is unorganized. Easy A
make sure if you take her that you keep all your tests and papers. she gave me and AB after i got all A's on everything. she is so unorganized and screws up on grading every test. she said she would give us the points, but when my grade came it showed she didnt. avoid her!
This is the worst teacher I have ever had. She talks with her hands infront of her mouth and no one can understand what she is saying. Even if someone proves her wrong she will find a way to be right. I fall asleep everyday because it is soooo boring:(
horrible teacher, she doesnt offer proof for any of her claims. she contradicts herself on everything she says as well. hard to learn anything in this class when the teacher doesnt know what she's talking about.
Easiest A in the world. She gives everyone 100% on their papers; I doubt she even reads them. She had huge curves for tests for my class (e.g. 80-100 A) She is the most boring/weird professor though. (I second the comments others posted.)
Its not really worth fighting her because she will find a way to be right. She is a relatively easy teacher but I would recommend avoiding her because spending 3 hours a week with her was horrible. I second everything else on here about her- horrible grader and organizer, so keep on top of that
This class is a complete waste of time. The whole time you are expected to accept her theories, which are stupid! This lady has no teeth and no personal hygiene. If you can help it don't take this class.
Ridiculously easy class, and the subject matter was somewhat interesting, but she is completely nuts. Really really nuts.
she's crazy, really. but i put forth no effort and easily got a B. could have got an A most likely
No Comments
She is a very slow talker and this is a very boring class. Her tests are tricky, but it's not a hard class as long as you go and pay attention
This is a ridiculously BORING class, omg, i have fallen asleep many times, wow..she is a slow talker-always late for class, her tests are bad-hard as heck--info that is surprising on tests.:(
The class itself is not that hard, but she makes it harder than it should be. Late to class EVERY DAY! and horrible and writing test questions. And dont even try to dispute a point with her....students are NEVER right according to her! even if it is 2 students disagreeing, somehow they are both going to be wrong
Do not ever argue with her. If you are an out spoken person take it! Make sure to bring up Native Americans.
this lady is crazy. a straight up NUT JOB. honestly. her test questions are confusing, she doesn't know how to use powerpoint, and you'll be lucky if she gets in 60 words during the hour you have to sit there because she talks SO SLOW
She's an old crazy woman, try to avoid.
She is definetely an odd individual to say the least! But...she knows what she is talking about on most of the topics and had some really good points that get you thinking. I took the class for j-term and it wasn't as bad as most people make it out to be. I recommend taking it j-term if you can. A lot less class time, only two tests, and no papers
I was interested in her class and what she was teaching, but from the first day on, she seemed odd. She tried.. but it just didn't work. She is very boring and not a very good teacher. The tests were pretty easy.. but listening to her is not.
Her power point has multiple spelling errors. She has horrible grammar. She doesn't know how to pronounce words. Her tests have questions on them that haven't been covered in class. DON'T TAKE HER
This lady will try to persuade you that white people are bad and Native Americans were screwed over. The class was fairly easy, but I'd definitely look elsewhere. Trust me.
Grades are curved according to the highest grade in your classroom. BUT, the exam has questions that she never discussed in class. If you get stuck with another student who is really smart and loves learning this material, you'll probably end up getting a B. Try to avoid her, but if you've taken other minority courses then it should be easier.
While she is very unique in her look and style, she is very knowledgeable about Native American material. Her grammar and spelling leave a lot to be desired, but the tests were essay and only 2 tests. Daily journal entries required, but if you pay attention in class, tests and journals are very easy.
take notes
thinks everything is a discriminatory issue....nauseating.
not good. she made a mistake on two of my tests, her answer key was wrong for one problem (that I knew about). This class could have been pretty sweet but she bored me and she turned me off from the subject.
very boring class...very boring professor, although, she wears really weird clothes so its fun to see what color combination comes up...assigns readings but most questions on tests are common sense
Interesting lady... but very boring. I looked all semester for her teeth, and I never saw any.
Terrible class, SO boring.... She hates white people and blames them for everything. Her clothes are disgusting, she has no top teeth, and she smells like a basement... DO NOT TAKE HER, she will make you ponder suicide just to get out of her class!
Ugh. I can't even...ugh. She still makes me shiver from the class I had 6 months ago. Probably the worst teacher. Ever. No lie. However, you should still take her just to see what she's like, and just to go through what all of us had to go through as well. Just kidding, seriously don't do it. I cannot fathom taking a class with her again.........
Very close minded. She encouraged class discusion but would shoot you down if you disagreed with her. Very bias. Not very hard but very frustrating. I did not like her as a professor or how she interpreted history.
Strange lady. Class format is annoying because we seldom get anything accomplished. She's hard to hear when she is speaking. Exam questions are confusing. The poor lady is a widow though, and she gave me a better grade than I was expecting. Convince her to give y'all the powerpoints of lectures.
It's mid-semester, but I am surprised to see all the "bad teacher" comments. She knows very well the material she's teaching. She talks horribly slowly, but accurately and on topic. I find her very interesting. Younger students may not see the bigger picture that she's getting at.
she is not as bad as many have claimed. i think you have to think outside of the box and be very critical to understand what is being taught in here. if you aren't willing to do either of this then you shouldn't take this course.
I was very concerned heading into this class because of all the comments on here. However, it turned out to be the opposite. I enjoyed the class very much. She is a genius and while it may take her a while to get to the point, she always gets there. Opened my eyes up BIG time to things going on- and she truly wanted to help. Attend every class!!!
by far the best teacher on campus. Has the most beautiful hair i've ever seen and i looked forward to going to class every day. She makes the terrible topic of ers into the best class ever
She is really annoying to listen to and I don't like her teaching style, but she is an ok professor. Wish I would have taken a more interesting professor. She gave me an AB, it took me 3 weeks to get in contact with her to ask why, and she just changed it to an A. Still don't know why it wasn't an A in the first place.
Professor Shillinger is an extremely intelligent woman. Her lecturing style is "different" but if you don't let it bother you, you'll realize that the content of the lecture is very interesting. She is a great teacher. People have a right to their opinions. However, saying things like "she hates white people" and insulting her appearance? Childish.
Shillinger is a really smart lady. She knows her stuff well and really gives people an opportunity to ask questions if they don't understand stuff. It's a pretty easy class anyways though. And she's not that bad of a teacher, kind of a weirdo/goofball type of person but you get used to it and she can even be funny sometimes. I'd say take it
Random lectures, now powerpoints, topics off top of her head. Hard to listen to, terrible with grammar. Got busted by a student for using incorrect info during a lecture. 3hour lecture sucks. Has a lot of personal experience and info, which is very interesting. Obvious knowledge of subject material. BAD WITH TECHNOLOGY (powerpoint and emial).
This class was great... until Shillinger came back from medical leave. Once she came back, it was boring. She is VERY VERY biased not to mention hates white people. It was a bore to sit through this class, I hated it. Although it was an easy A. DO NOT TAKE if you can help it.
Dr. Shillinger is an incredibly smart professor. Not only does she allow students to argue with her back and forth she also automatically gives you 100%'s on the 2 papers you have to hand in if you do them. I absolutely HATE the people that talk bad about her, she is actually nice. Her classes can be boring, but i recommend it if you want an A.
She has questions on exams that were never covered in lecture or the textbook. The only good thing about the exams is that she provides a curve. Watch videos all the time which do not relate to test material. She presents material in a VERY boring way. Do not take if not necessary.
She is very knowledgeable and a nice person; I really liked her except her tests were sort of hard. The tests are what brought my grade down. If you have to take her class definitely read and reread the book...the chapters are pretty long.
Not as bad as others say. Essay exams. She is always willing to help and is a very nice woman.
Pointless class. She teaches her own viewpoints. Tests are based on unknown and barely covered material. Class was a waste of time and mandatory. Worst class I have taken yet.
I took this class as a Gen-Ed and was miserable every day. She states her own opinions as if she knows everything and comes off as prejudiced against whites and Christians, not to mention she speaks slowly in a monotone voice and goes off on tangents left and right. Avoid her if at all possible.
Here's the breakdown for the class: 2 essays which you automatically get a 100% on, A few tests that are basically common sense questions (a few questions on tests are however never discussed during class), and the most boring lecture class you will ever have to sit through. I do not recommend her unless you like to hear her talk about her views.
Dr. Shillinger does have some odd behaviors (slow talking, pacing, computer issues) but she's a very intelligent professor. She breaks up the class with media/videos/documentaries. Sometimes it can get boring, but talking and asking questions helps. Class is pretty easy and she even admits that she's an easy grader. Just show up to class !
Everyone should take this class, it's very informative. I ended up adding Ethnic and Racial studies as a minor after this class. You have to be open to hearing things you may not want to, but she never blames anyone and she does well to keep her views out of it, regardless of what others say, some people mix up facts and opinions. Very intelligent.
Dr Shilling is a nice lady but by far one of the wist teachers I have ever had. She goes off topic every class for nearly the whole hour, but will test you on things she didn't cover in class. She makes it very cleat she is a democrat also implies she doesn't like christians or whites. It's an easy enough A but prepare to be bored out of your mind
DO NOT take this class with this professor. Although it's fairly easy, it's almost impossible to stay awake during her lectures. If she catches you doing anything other than paying attention (sleeping, doodling, daydreaming) she will stop the class until you are paying attention. I couldn't stand this professor, and I wouldn't recommend her.
Loved the class! Learned a lot.
Good class to take
I was considering a minor in ERS before i took her. Lectures are horribly boring, and a single power point slide with take THE WHOLE HOUR because she gets so off topic. She can be condescending and acts like everything she says is the news of the century. Shes a very smart woman and knows her stuff, but the way her class is conducted is not good
Awesome professor, took her for two different classes. She will give you some facts that you might not want to hear and give you the history behind the oppression of minorities, but she does it in a good way. She doesn't blame anyone, she just gives you the facts. If you pay attention, read, and engage in discussions it isn't boring at all.
This teacher loves to get off topic. There are days where all we discussed was current events and did not even get to take any notes. She takes attendance (when she remembers). The tests are curved and are not super hard if you at least skim the readings and take notes in class. She always talks nice and slow.
She's extremely boring, lectures tend to drag on. We had 2 exams and a final, and a few pop quizzes. She assigned readings but we never talked about them, and they were on the exams! She sent around an attendance sheet everyday so that's where you'll get all of your credit. It's not a bad class, just very boring!
The lectures can be sort of boring, but they are so insightful. I learned so much from Dr. Shillinger. I loved this class, and decided to minor in ERS because of it. You could miss up to 4 unexcused classes before your grade dropped.
I saw Dr. Shillinger had bad reviews but I figured how bad could she be for a four week online class that only lasts four weeks? She was terrible. Her instructions weren't clear, when you asked questions she didn't answer them helpfully, and she tested us on content we never talked about. Take someone else if you can.
You can tell that Dr. Shillinger is knowledgeable about the subject matter, but she is VERY opinionated. If you try to speak up about your opinion in class, there's a good chance she'll say it is wrong and probably interrupt you while you're talking. It's best just to hold your tongue and try not to fall asleep during the boring lectures.
I didn't like this course. I felt as though Dr. Shilinger didn't ever have a plan. Class was canceled a lot and we got behind and it felt like a waste of my money. She is caring and passionate about her subject but it just doesn't transcend into the material. She throws a cat around and if you catch it you have to talk. Not enjoyable.
Dr. Schillinger is probably one of the most boring lecturers I have ever had. She obviously know the subject matter very well, but does not provide for much discussion and is not very open to new ideas from students. This class was offered for 1 day a week and 3 hours long, expected to be there the ENTIRE time even though she shows up late to class
She is the absolute worst and kinda looks like Grumpy cat. She is opinionated and rude and asked for students to speak their opinion by throwing "Mr. Talkie"(a stuffed cat) at you. When you give her your opinion she says you're wrong humiliates you in front of the class and then continues to get farther off topic. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER!
I find her classes interesting enough, and the material addressed is great, HOWEVER, I cannot for the life of me figure out her exams. The questions are vague, the language she uses to ask the questions are confusing, and to me at least, will not reflect your actual knowledge of the material. Its like trying to solve a puzzle w/ missing pieces...
She was a terrible professor at best. If you do not pay attention, she will throw a plush cat at you. Much of what is on her exams, is not discussed in class.
She has no lesson plan ever. She goes off on random rants about things that don't really have to do with what we are talking about. She makes us read out of the book, but none of what she goes over in class has to do with the book. Her lectures are about random topics and they don't link to each other. She throws a stuff cat to get people to talk.
Lectures are boring and off-topic. Lots of reading that never shows up in class but are on tests. Doesn't really understand how to use a computer. We are usually behind schedule.
Prof Shillinger is one of the most boring professors I've had so far. However, the material she teaches is interesting enough where you stay involved. As long as you show up to this class and pay attention, it should be an easy A.
Lectures are boring, but the material and events discussed in class are pretty interesting. She gives you a study guide before each exam, but if you want to do well I recommend doing most of the readings and going over your notes thoroughly. Tests are challenging and sometimes confusing, but she grades on a curve which helps.
Shillinger is not a good prof. She will give lectures that are not related to the readings and talks about current events more than the actual material. She talks way too quiet and gets mad when you don't have a question. Throws a stuffed cat at students to talk. Tests are not clear. Do not recommend.
Horrible!! Doesnt actually teach you anything and instead talks at you in a monotone voice the whole class. Would recommend trying to take someone else for sure.
Here is how to get a good grade in this class: Read the textbook, read the articles she assigns, take down notes in class, and ask questions when you have them. Her lectures are painfully boring and her tests make no sense so if you can take someone else, DO IT, but if you have to suffer through this class with her it is possibly to do well.
Sarah Shillinger is possibly the worst professor in the state of Wisconsin. ERS 100 is a very easy class and you can probably still get an A if you take her, however, I would highly recommend avoiding her. Going to her lecture like pulling teeth (not to mention sometimes she forgets to put hers in) and you are graded on few things.
She is not the worst teacher ever like some say, you just need to apply yourself. She is very knowledgeable about the topics she lectures about. Sarah does not use PowerPoints very much at all, so you have to take initiative and take your own notes during her lectures to get good grades.
She is knowledgeable about the subject matter she teaches on but that is about the only good thing I have to say about her. If you ask a question, she answers in a defensive and hostile tone. There is no room for dissenting view points in her class. Month long turn around to return multiple choice test. Do not recommend her at all
Dr. Shillinger is very knowledgeable and passionate about her field of study but her lectures feel very long and, sometimes, she gets off track of the content. The tests are more so on the readings over the lectures, so be sure to take notes and study the readings. Her exams are confusing and don't make much sense. Try to take someone else.
Dr. Shillinger is very disorganized and has unclear instructions and grading criteria. She can be a tough grader, and her tests make no sense. It takes her a long time to put things in the gradebook. I would recommend not taking her given a choice.
Terrible teacher, most of the stuff she talks about she knows but half the time she uses crap sources that you can disprove by 10 articles in a matter of a minute on google (which is exactly where she gets her sources). Dont try studying for tests because she puts whatever she wants on them, nothing to do with lectures
I had a friend in the class that would switch off skipping with me and sign-in on the attendance sheet. Would recommend this
She was awful, her online quizzes are so hard. Half the time reading articles makes me wonder, how is this even going to help in the quiz. This is my gen-ed and I don't want gen-ed to bring my grade down, she is that teacher that makes class hard on purpose. Her questions on exams make no sense half the time. Recommend not to take her for gen-ed.
Probably the worst teacher Ive had on any level of education. Lectures will put you to sleep, and when nobody talks during class she throws a ball at you and says, What are you thinking? She also messed up grading tests and refused to change grades even after almost all the students complained to her. Awful awful professor.
Literally the WORST. Lectures put you to sleep when she starts to talk about stuff not really related to the topic. Not clear about what actually needs to be taught and what will be tested. Tests are ridiculous because the review sheets are unhelpful and answer options for questions make it more difficult to actually get the correct answer.
Terrible, do not take any classes with her.
Long lectures of just talking. Struggles with technology often. Not many assignments either.
Worst professor I have ever had. For a gen ed it is way harder than it needs to be. Nothing on the exams is really talked about in class. She also can't figure out how to use a computer and half the time things aren't posted on canvas that are suppose to be. Most of the wording on the exams makes no sense as well.
WAY too difficult as a general education course. Has tons of errors in her quizzes and tests which can make them confusing, sometimes you don't even know what topics she's talking about on them.
Yeah, she doesn't use power points and she would jump around in lectures. Her teaching style might not work for you. I personally really loved the course topic so that kept me interested in the lectures. Make sure that you take notes and actually read the books! The class is mostly graded based on multiple choice tests. Pay attention in class!
Easily the worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are boring and long and she can barely use a computer. To get her students to participate she throws a stuffed animal at students. Due dates very unclear. There was multiple due dates for the final paper and I submitted it a few days late and still got 100%. Easy A but is so painful.
DO NOT TAKE ANY OF HER CLASSES. Does not communicate with students. Syllabus is not updated. Assignments were never assigned but still held a grade weight in course. Easy A but was confusing and frustrating. Class is only based off assigned reading and weekly quizzes. Quizzes had grammatical errors and did not pertain to content.
Still hasn't graded most of my assignments from the beginning of the semester. Constant spelling errors, all of the info is out of date, would not respond to emails for weeks and when she did she just reworded the question into a no-answer answer. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS
Dr. Shillinger's ERS class taught me nothing. She provided articles from google and some hour long videos that aren't useful for the classwork. Absolutely unreachable and has yet to grade work from 2 months ago. My student eval shows me begging her superiors to change the way she does class. Waste of time.
Due dates are never clear and the quizzes always have questions that aren't discussed in the assigned readings, but it is not hard to find the answers... if you can catch my drift She takes a long time to respond to emails and has trouble with technology, especially Canvas. Overall a poor professor, you are better off choosing a different one.
Very unorganized! I never knew what was going on.
This course was taken asynchronously online, so I can only speak for this course with her in an online format. Anyway, she would rarely respond to emails, and if she did, it would be 0% helpful and not give any answer to the questions asked. Class content on quizzes was often incorrect, so even if you knew your stuff, you'd still get a lot wrong.
I would never take professor schillinger's class. She rarely responds to emails, and is super unclear with everything including journals and quizzes. She has lots of spelling errors in emails, tests, and course content. Her quizzes have almost nothing to do with the course material and I am left to try and look things up online, etc.
Very unorganized, very unresponsive to emails, makes "half-right" and "more correct" questions on quizzes which is super misleading. Changes the grading scale so 95+ is an A, not 93+. Not willing to help her students and just overall is not great at her job in my opinion. I would steer clear of her at all costs. Hardest B+ I've ever gotten.
Ms. Shillinger was the WORST. I have sent multiple emails throughout the semester, and she has still yet to respond to one of them (and it's the end of finals). She has no lectures, so you have to teach yourself from the power points. Her weekly quizzes sometimes don't even have anything to do with what she posted. DO NOT TAKE HER - SAVE YOURSELF.
I have never felt the need to write a review for a professor, but this one takes the cake. By far, the absolute WORST professor I have ever had. She is incompetent and refuses to answer questions about material. I have sent emails asking for clarification and she replies with barely a sentence regurgitating the quiz question. Avoid at all costs!
She liked to explain to farmers about how farms worked, and used Amazon as a replacement for google images.
