I took her CD30 class in Fall 2006. Whoever said that half the class failed the midterm is wrong. The class did not all get A's but half didn't fail. She makes herself available as much as possible, and gives a lot of opportunity for extra credit. She does expect you to do the work, but she outlined both the midterm and final.

This is the first time L.A.P.C. has offered this class. The class consists of 6 child observations and recording down what took place. As the semester progressed the professor had changed the assignments on the syllabus around. The assignments became dis-organized and confused for those who did not take C.D. 1.

I took this class Summer 2015, and I can say she's a great teacher. She's really fun and makes the class exciting. The projects are creative and connects with the material. 2 group projects! take notes and pay attention and you don't have to do so much reading. Starts on time so be there! Quizzes (15 to 25 questions) and assignments are online.

Taking this class in summer 2015 was the best decision I've made. Professor Longmore is not only an amazing teacher, she also is hilarious! Such a sweet lady with great assignments and projects that will really help you understand the concept. Pay attention in class, do the reading (not a lot) and you'll get an A!

Dr. Longmore is an amazing and such an inspirational teacher! Took her CD1 class for Fall and it was a great time in her class! Reading is a must and participation is as well. Other than that she is amazing and cooperative! Will always help you if help is needed and will spend time till you get it right.

She's really nice. The class was an easy A, only if you attend. Miss a class? You lose major points. Its basically just a bunch of 10 pt. quizzes and group assignments. She only lectured 3 days out of the entire semester. So buying the book is not an option. Not a class for someone who wants to really learn something.

Honestly the class itself is not that hard, I managed to get an A on the midterm without ever reading or even buying a child development textbook. The whole ECE observation was dumb, she doesn't tell you what you take notes on. When she gets mad she will snap and talk to you in a very sassy and demeaning way. SHE WILL GET TRIGGERED!

She was a very nice and open professor, exams are clear and she gives you study guides and answers to them . Make sure to do the reading before coming to class , it helps for notes. She starts the class with a small quiz, easy points asks random questions no wrong answer , show up on time and you get easy points . One thing that I hated was the end of the semester group project , it was fun but not all group members saw eye to eye so choose your table neighbors wisely

Longmore was disorganized and forgot about assignments which in a way sucks if you were trying to earn credit for your work. She also would lecture briefly on a topic and then the next day never continued and left it up to you going to the tutors to explain what she didn't. No essays, multiple choice test, and group work.

This class was okay. Only 1 homework per week, which is quite hard. However, to receive full points, you MUST follow the instructions and be thorough. If not, your grade will be low. Must stick to the deadlines, no exceptions. The midterm is VERY harder than the final so study, which is 88 questions. Sometimes she's not responsive to her emails.
