Hated this class. Very tough grader and the exams have many questions that are not covered in the reading. Online group projects are just plain dumb and this class had one. I ended up doing the entire project by myself. Unsympathetic & Bad Teacher!!

She is awful, thank god this is class is over because she demanded way too much from students. Also, I felt she was biased with her grading on essays. I wouldn't take her online because she changed the syballus halfway through the semester and she expects everyone to know the material really well and it is tough. Tests don't cover material studied.

Took class online. Bad teacher. Class materials filled with typographical errors yet teacher has the gall to grade weekly journals with a 3 point system which results in you either receiving a 33%,66%, or a 100. Also pop quizzes in an online class. Teaching materials not clear or even written by teacher(lazy?). Do not take this teachers class.

HORRIBLE!!!! Do not take her class if you want a decent grade. She offers very little clarification, and uses youtube videos from other professors instead of lecture notes. The pop quizzes are ridiculous for an online class, and she does not offer adequate feedback. She is a terrible "teacher" (if you want to call her that).

Probably the worst teacher I have had yet. I agree with whoever stated that her "instructions" are filled with typographical errors. Her "instructions" are impossible to understand and I do not believe that even she knows what she is talking about. I took the online class and the assignments were next to impossible to decipher. She is terrible.

Let's put it like this, the class above for most of the assignments were D's and F's. Her tests do not match her lecture notes, nor are her discussion boards engaging in any way. She is useless online, although I heard that she is good seated, so there's an alternate to meet the philosophy requirement. Hated every second of this awful online class.

It is not clear what this lady wants as far as assignments... it is like she expects you to know what she is thinking. She doesn't actually teach anything- all her material is taken from other sources such as youtube! The worst part of it is that the youtube clips are of other professors!

This lady does not teach and is very vague on her demands for assignments. Avoid her at all costs as she is the worst teacher I have experienced in my college career.

Horrible teacher! She dropped me from her class on accident, admitted to me in email that it was a mistake but still wouldn't make the effort to get me back in the class. It was a 5 week class and she delayed responding to me for 5 days so by the time I was able to pursue my complaint, I was WAY to far behind. Avoid this woman at ALL costs!!

Stay away. I have a 4.0 GPA, I took this class over the summer. The amount of work she gives you is CRAZY!

Worst teacher I have ever had. Stay away. She is a bad grader, pulling material from other teacher online, sending you to fetch the material, and then giving you bad grade. Expect you to know what she is thinking. Fails you without explanation, and worst of all even if you request help she still does not answer you on time. Bad, bad, bad teacher

Took her class online in the summer. Many assignments to covered during 5 weeks so be prepared. Exams every week, some easier than others. Communicates with students through announcements, but she opened a discussion board for us to use to ask her questions and never replied to any posts. Seems passionate about teaching the material but during summer she is disconnected.

Like many students taking this class, I just need 3 credit hrs in a lame class that has no function in the real world. I highly suggest choosing another professor if you plan on skating through this class. She is highly disorganized, and will grade you like logic is your actual major.

Where do I begin? Unfortunately Her class was the only online class available for PHi 240. I knew it won't be easy but my god she is not a fair grader. She expects for you to know what she is thinking in her head. My interpretation is different from some one else's. IIs she the worst teacher at Wake Tech? Don't know but she would probably rank #1

Graduating at UNC, with honors, this semester and took her PHI 240 two years ago online before transferring from Wake Tech. She wants you to think like her on very subjective test questions, but offers no help to do so whatsoever. I can now officially say that she is the worst college professor I have had in my entire undergraduate career.

I'm taking this class online now and she is the worst. Nothing is never good enough for her. She is not a fair grader either. If you're not thinking of what she has in her mind already you can guarantee that you will get a low grade. She will mess up your GPA trust me!! Avoid her at all

She is not so helping teacher..

I took this class as a buffer to my more difficult core classes. It easily became one of my most frustrating classes I have ever taken. Professor Arias is very sarcastic and seeks to get a rise out of her students rather than help them succeed in the course. Her lectures are very confusing and her power points are awful. Do NOT take this class!

I'm taking Sophia Arias' online Ethics class this semester and it is the most frustrating class I have ever taken at Wake Tech. I have taken many essay classes at WTC, and I have gotten As in all of them. I'm struggling to keep a C in this class. Her assignments are difficult to understand and she's not fair in her grading. Don't take her classes!

I would not take this professor again. Took Phi240 ONLINE expecting it to be a simple class. The professor can barely compose a complete sentence in English (this is online, spell check..), yet is very hard on students regarding grading papers. The class was overall an easy class, although the inconsistent grading was very frustrating.

She is a very tough grader and never explains why you got the grade you did. I have never gotten anything higher than an 80 on any papers even when I follow the rubric. Do not take unless there is no other option.

While the in-class discussions were interesting I did not enjoy this class overall. Arias is unclear and unorganized with dates, grading and material provided. Requires a lot of reading, some of which is never covered in class. Does not provide test material in a clear, measurable way. As a diligent student I was frustrated by the disorganization.

(Online class) Pick a different professor. She does not give clear directions for what she wants and does not offer notes or extra materials to study. Very tough grader and is extremely picky. I don't remember having such a difficult teacher before.

I took her PHI 240 class online. Her grading criteria is a complete mystery to me and getting in touch with her is almost impossible. I scheduled a meeting once to discuss a paper and she was trying to pack up and go home after two minutes of talking to me. Really visibly didn't want to discuss the grades I'd gotten and only gave me vague feedback

Expect excruciatingly vague writing prompts with inconsistent, emotion-based grading. This professor does not give feedback unless you ask for it. She does not give any guidance or direction unless asked and she will defend this. Basically, she does not do her job unless you call her and ask her to. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE.

Awful! Points deducted on discussions for no apparent reason, never gave substantive feedback for bad grades on papers, and doesn't use her own rubric since I followed it when writing but got a D. Even sent my paper before due and she said I only needed to fix 1 thing and did, D. Response to every bad grade is "see rubric". just don't take ethics.

This class is impossible. There is very little work but the grading is insane. I would get Ds on every paper after specifically following the rubric and she would give no reason as to why I was getting that grade. There is one ridiculously graded assignment a week, either a discussion board or a paper. She will ask for an opinion and still give a D

I finished the semester by studying for many hours to achieve a 34/35 on the final exam to receive a 89.5 as my final grade. She said that she would only round ".2" up, and is just as much of a stickler when it comes to writing assignments. From taking calculus, c++, and writing, ethics ended up being my most challenging course with this teacher.

What a horrible woman. I took one of her classes and had to withdraw it (it was an online class) because I had to go to the hospital and she refused to let me take the exam when I got back. I've literally never had a professor this uncaring.

One of the hardest graders I have ever had. I have never gotten less than a "B" grade on any college paper until this class. To make it worse, there is next to no feedback about why papers are graded the way they are. If this class isn't a requirement, it's a class you should skip.

Vaguely worded and confusing essay prompts. Does not give feedback. You will have no idea why you received the grade you did. Test questions are sometimes subjective. One test question asked if philosophy was like self help? I answered no and got the question wrong. Meeting with her is pointless. She will rush you off the call.

Terrible! The readings would not make sense and then when you do the homework it would not be related to the material that she gave us to study with. Terrible at leaving any feedback that makes sense and is not consistent with her grading. I wish I would have taken a different teacher or a completely different course. I am miserable in this class.

I wish I didn't take this class. She will give you material to study for the exams and nothing we learned will be on the exams. You can study for 2 hours with all the material that she gives you and still get a C on the exam. Terrible at giving feedback that is helpful. Wake Tech should get someone who knows how to teach this subject better.

The class seems easy because Arias only gives small assignments with the occasional essay or discussion board, but I would have given the rating i did if it was just that. Arias grading is terrible to say the least. You do what you are told and get either a 70 or 100. The feedback/advise she gives is so generic, WHICH you think you followed.

She lists in her syllabus not to expect an a in this course because "ethics is hard". Meanwhile I took ethics at a 4 year university and already received an a, the school just was not transfer friendly. I ended up with a high b in the class..... do not think it was a coincidence. She would give low grades on writing assignments with 0 explanation.

She would not give a ounce of thought if you had technical issues.

Did not like her at all. Her grading criteria is inconsistent and she grades far too harshly for a general education course. You do exactly as you are supposed to on an assignment and you still fair. She needs to realize that the majority of the people in these classes are not interested in ethics. Relax your grading criteria and loosen up.

Do not take this class Literally I read all the given material which I think they make themselves and I go to take the quizzes and it has absolutely nothing to do with what I just read so its not a me problem

You will learn nothing from her class. They cover three physics topics, but she teaches "nothing". All will be from the textbook, and nothing will be from her. Even for the exam questions. Her grading for papers is inconsistent and vague. Not enough guidelines. If you want to "do barely nothing and be fine with C", take this one.

Actually the worst professor I've ever had. Does not grade based on a rubric and grades based on her own opinions. You could follow the rubric exactly and receive a 70. Difficult to communicate with and has a crazy sense of entitlement. I'm fighting for my life.

She grades her papers rather harshly given she only gives you a week to write them, and her feedback is vague and really unhelpful. I will not pretend and say I gave my all in this class however she was there to support me at all because she only offered feedback a couple days after the essays were assigned.
