Bad profGENDEU375 2019-04-21 08:26:28 +0000 UTC
Class is horrible. Completely disorganized teaching methods, ridiculous tests, such a radical feminist who does not know how to effectively explain her opinions or how to accept student opinions. Stay away!POLS375 2007-05-04 13:32:23 +0000 UTC
Serious issues regarding the grading system of this course. The main thing: it makes no sense. People who did not attend or participate got rewarded in their final mark, because since they didn't say anything in class, there was nothing the Prof. could scrutinize and heavily base your final grade on. DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!!! u will not be happyPOL375 2007-05-03 12:17:52 +0000 UTC
IF YOU ARE IN THIS CLASS DROP IT NOW!! She is not clear on what she expects. Does not explain anything in class. When it comes to the midterm and final your looking at things you have never seen before. No class Structure. Numerous problems with gradding issues for roughly everyone in the class. And the journals are rediculous.POLU375 2007-04-20 13:51:46 +0000 UTC
Have had a lot of professors, none as poor as this one. Her teaching methods are highly ineffective, never demonstrating any clarity. This miscommunication ends up hurting student's grades severely. Her grading is very controversial, raising heated dispute amongst students. I dont understand how this professor has a degree. Would not recommend.GENDEU375 2007-03-19 08:44:24 +0000 UTC
Cant believe she was ever hired. Radical feminist. Completely lacks clarity both in assignments and on tests. I am a good student and have never been so frustrated with a class this ridiculous before. Drop this class for your own good. It will hurt your GPA.POL375 2007-05-02 16:24:15 +0000 UTC
This woman is out of her mind...if you accidentally find your way into this class drop it. You basically debate her crazy theories in class and she tries to test you on something you didnt a) talk about in class and b) was not in the readings. The woman flat out has no bussiness teaching at NUPOLU375 2007-03-26 11:32:45 +0000 UTC
