i was forced to take this class and i honestly wish i had fought harder not to take it. please, do yourself a favor and look for any other course! don't mess up your gpa! this class isn't hard, it's her confusing grading that makes it so difficult. you will put your all into a paper and get it proofread and everything just to get a C. steer clear!

unclear grading criteria, accuses you of plagiarism 24/7, takes off lots of points and doesn't say why or 'errors' were subjective, victimizes herself all the time, i could go on and on... terri, consider the following: perhaps the abundance of negative reviews show that you're the problem?

I cannot stress enough how much you should avoid this professor. Trust me, after taking her, then reading the positive reviews of the other professors, you'll literally just make yourself sad. Yes, she is as bad she seems. I've never met someone embody the word "incompetence" as much as Terri.

incredibly unclear and disorganized. uses instruction from other classes that do not make sense to our class. when told that she is unclear, blames you for not reading. never takes into consideration that she may be doing something wrong. unfair grading, won't fully explain to you why you received a low grade. her opinion is superior no matter what

By far the worst teacher on campus. Spends most of the time in class discussing everything BUT the subject material. She is overly outspoken with her political opinions, and will go after you if you dare disagree with her. She even told a story about how she got a veteran kicked out of her class because he wore camo pants. She is extremely bizarre.

This prof isnt just a "tough grader"... She often complains about problems in her life, is very disorganised, and criticises everyone, even the students who actually participate. Based on what she would share, she would clearly project her unhappiness onto her students. She once made me cry during an office hour visit... there is much more to say..

She was kind of hard to get a hold of outside of class. She had a few tests, but they were really hard even with notes. She is a super hard grader on discussion posts, assignments, papers, and tests. Her grading criteria are unclear and some assignments do not make sense. The worksheets you do leading up to a test are suppose to help but they don't

Is an incredibly unfair grader. Claimed that I got all my information from online and that I needed to actually buy and read the book to pass the class, even as I had the book right next to me. Will also sometimes close dropboxes several hours early and claim it's the student's fault for trying to submit the assignment at the last minute.

She is so unpleasant. Whenever I reached out for help she always got annoyed and did not want to be bothered. She blamed me multiple times for being lazy and suggested that I drop the class, which honestly I should've done. Do not take her if you are a very sensitive person. She is just too harsh on her students.

Had her for Art Appreciation at ECC. she interrupts her students very frequently, treats them like middle schoolers and dose not build off of what her students say in any constructive way. She waits for you to stop talking so she can make her point and move on. If you want to be treated like a respectable human being, avoid this professor.

Professor would be very unclear on instructions all the time. I would email her for further explanation, and she didn't answer my questions well at all. Super tough grader for essays, never got an A. Too picky on assignments and instructions never made sense. Can come off as passive aggressive through blackboard. Easy assignments, lots of reading.

She was a very tough grader, The readings in her class can be confusing and on the quizzes and tests the questions she asks is something you would not remember at all from the reading. Her comments on assignments can be harsh. Be prepared for a lot of reading. Even if do great on assignments still won't get a good grade in her class.

I have emailed her asking for help and her responses are very unclear, and the way she writes back suggests a tone that makes you feel stupid for asking. She is such an unnecessarily tough grader, and no matter how strictly you follow her rubric and expectations, it isn't good enough for her. I have never felt so incapable of excelling in a class.

Overall, a very tough grader does not email quick and when does very rude tone and very unclear when responding back to your questions she also does not help at all and thinks everyone is using AI and nothing will meet up to her standards. I do not recommend and will never take her again.

Very tough grader even when you follow HER grading rubric. She believes everyone in the class is using Ai even when all of the answers for her assignments are in the text book she provided. She is also very rude when responding to emails making it you feel stupid for even sending them. Please go with another professor!!

I liked her, the only complain I'd give: her expectations for worksheets weren't clear but she did end up improving them to where they were more clear which is good. She gave an extra credit one that helps boost grades by up to 2% it looks like some people were using AI which made her a bit repetitive about not using it. A lot of reading but easy.
