Prof Groff is very funny and entertaining. The class should be easy, however she assigns entirely too much busy work. Probably because she assigns sparatically and off the top of her head, not realizing exactly how much she has already assigned.

Professor Groff was AWESOME!!! I wish she taught other courses. I would recommend her to anyone taking a college intro course. Coursework was extremely easy. Very simple homework assignments and most projects are group assignments that can be completed with an hour. She knows her stuff and makes the classroom buzz. Very easy on the eyes too ;)

She was a very good teacher! Graded and answered questions very quickly, and didn't grade hard at all as long as you followed the guidelines. Two MC tests, 5 disc. posts, variety of personal projects and one group project. All hands on and helpful. Very enjoyable and fun, I highly recommend!

GREAT teacher! EASY course. I finished all the first four weeks in one week. The only thing you truly need the textbook for are the midterm (50 pts) and the final (50 pts). The rest are fun educational technology items like set up a powerpoint.

Professor Groff is a phenomenal professor. She is truly an inspiration! She tells it like it is and isn't afraid to beat around the bush. I love how blunt she is! Her class discussions are interesting and she likes group discussions. Online work is not hard at all-look up answers online! I would definitely take her again!

I took the 8 week course, and there were 2-3 assignments due a week. She assigns weird due dates in the middle of the week, so watch out. The group project was a killer, especially because she caused some very difficult misunderstandings between group members, so don't rely on what she tells you they have said because chances are they didn't say it

I took Professor Groff during the summer. She graded assignments immediately and answered all my questions quickly. The group project was difficult but only because of group members. Every question we asked she got back to us with answers. I learned a lot, and plan on using the assignments and group project in my own classroom.

she is a great teacher. You might feel a little bit confused in the beginning of the class, but you will see how easy the class is once you start doing your work. Be ready to do project that is pretty easy. Be ready to use technology. I had fun in this class. It was an online class by the way. I did podcast, lessons, teacher webpage, web Quest,

I am so glad to have had the privilege of being one of her students and in some of my darkest moments, she was there for me when there was no one else.

Great teacher. She may seem a little difficult at first, but in the end I should've ended up with a very high B and I received an A. If you take the online class, there is a group project. It's quite easy even though it sounds more difficult because its online. Group members just chat via email and are assigned equal work.

Professor Groff easily became one of my favorite professors by far. Loved her energy and there was always something to take away from her lectures. The workload may seem overwhelming when she first gives you the syllabus, but I found the class an easy A (as long as you completed the assignments). The group projects were fun and easy as well.

I took her online class which I got an average grade, B-. When you finish to take quizzes or tests, most of them will not give you right answer that I do want to know which is correct answer. If I know the right answer from the tests or quizzes, I will learn new things you never heard of it. No credits. She is very good at response or feedback.

Took this class as online course. Clear syllabus, calendar for work, and straight forward learning. You do have to schedule for two proctored exams (which means you'll physically go to an FSCJ campus to take exam). Just do the assigned work and write well, and you'll pass.

She gave quick responses to my questions and concerns via email. I just wish she gave me a better grade, since I tried my best at writing. Due to the fact that I am not a skilled writer I was required to take this class; therefore, the harsh grading I received was kind of annoying. I did all my work and only received a B plus almost minus.

This was a good class to take in preparation of obtaining an Early Education Degree. There were lots of projects, but they were all 'fun', like creating a class website, creating lessons, etc. The only thing I did not enjoy as much was the group project. It was hard to get with everyone, since I took this online. Overall, great class.

This class was only 7 weeks long and met on Tuesdays only. At first I was dreading the class because it was a 2 and a half hour class, but after the first week, it wasn't. Mostly got out of class early, and discussions every week. Only have to take the final if you miss one class. One group project at the end, but its very fun. Love the teacher.

Extremely accelerated even though it is only available as a 7 week course. Assigns multiple things in a week w/ little explanation on how to complete or examples, book is only important for midterm and final, grades harshly. I will say she is reachable, got back to me in a reasonable time frame. Very stressful, would not recommend.

Professor Shannon explains what is expected at the beginning of the class and is open to working with students that need anything. There is a group project that is required to pass the class.

Dr. Groff is the best professor I've ever had. She was really nice, pretty relaxed and a fair grader. I learned a lot and I personally found her work incredibly easy, but also really fun! I will say I loved the group project, but hated the people I was with, but that's nothing on her. So, be weary about your group mates. But overall 10/10.
