Interesting class, taught in a way that did not work for me so I wasn't a fan. She is very confident in her knowledge, but kind of acts like the information is obvious when people try to ask question. She is very kind, but I don't think this class was worth my time because while I learned some things, it mostly drained my interest in the topic.POLS2399 2026-05-08 04:36:33 +0000 UTC
Way too many assignments, and they were always graded randomly. Most of the assignments were also super outdated, and her lectures were pointless. Pick a different professor if you actually want to learn.POLS1155 2025-12-09 22:12:13 +0000 UTC
Means well but is very disorganized/runs class in a way that's incredibly frustrating.Changed the date of a presentation at 1am day-of.Had exams where some students had all multiple choice and others had 4-5 open response.I stopped reading the textbook after week 1 and was fine with my lecture notes. Busy work that isn't REALLY hard, just annoying.POLS2399 2026-04-29 04:09:06 +0000 UTC
Lectures were dense, loaded with irrelevant examples, + even though I took extensive notes the midterm questions made no sense and were disconnected from things discussed in class. Everyone got C's and D's on it and she did not curve. We also did random class activities that did not explain much. My saving grace was participation. Do not take.POLS1155 2025-11-24 14:35:59 +0000 UTC
not bad. just wayyyyyyy too much homework that is all busy work. exams are disproportionate--- some people get 4 essay questions, some get all multiple choice. i had no idea what was going on every single class. shes nice if you actually sit down with her thoughPOLS2399 2026-04-27 08:28:38 +0000 UTC
I'd rather exit through the window than retake any of the courses she teaches. Either she absolutely hates everything about being a professor, or just genuinely wants to make it as hard as humanly possible. Plus, you miss one class - pray to get at least a C.POLS1155 2025-05-11 07:24:06 +0000 UTC
shes not a great prof but shes not as bad as people say. definitely plays favorites but if you engage shes a good grader. classes are super boring and content is super easy, just a lot of random and sometimes tedious assignments. she just wants you to try and kind of seem engaged.POLS2399 2026-02-26 02:34:05 +0000 UTC
Throughout the semester the material covered in class was straight from the homework. She changed the grading system within the last 2 weeks dramatically dropping everyones grade, I don't think anyone benefitted from it. Doesn't respond to emails only makes vague canvas posts. Only reason I got an A was because I participated in class.POLS1155 2025-02-21 14:15:04 +0000 UTC
In Comparative Politics, she said "all countries strive to be democracies." Instead of comparing political systems she should be comparing her understanding of politics to that of a rock. Try to guess who'd know more.POLS2399 2025-12-17 17:01:24 +0000 UTC
Do not take Eliza for any class if you actually want to learn and value stability in a teacher. Her grading criteria is unclear and her syllabus changes every five minutes. My grades fluctuated between 70 to 95 in the last week of class, despite getting above a 95 on everything. Very unorganized, makes up facts and all her documents have typos.POLS1155 2025-01-23 02:42:06 +0000 UTC
I am being way too generous in this review, and even I say to NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! She is not cut out to be a teacher and should not be employed. With that being said it is clear that she has passion for political science research and she likes to see people learn and be challenged, however she has absolutely no idea how to do it. Very frustrating.POLS2399 2025-12-08 22:22:00 +0000 UTC
this is one of those few teachers in life who make learning miserable. She should quit. I didn't do bad in her class but within the last three weeks she kept changing the grading system. dropping most kids from high nineties to an A- or a B+. She was unorganized and provided limited resources. It's easy material but she ruins itPOLS1155 2025-01-13 13:48:49 +0000 UTC
She doesn't know what she's talking about. All her slides are AI-generated, Has a superiority complex and grades so hard which is so funny because she DOESNT KNOW WHAT SHES TAlKING ABOUT. So many questions she couldnt answer in class, and we corrected her all the time.POLS2399 2025-12-01 02:38:15 +0000 UTC
11 days before i submitted my final I had a 97%. TThen she decided to use a point scale system, and change it after the final was submitted. In the old system, (the one we had for the entire semester), i would have an A or maybe an A-POLS1155 2024-12-17 01:44:46 +0000 UTC
Worst professor ever. Please avoid her. I regret all my life choices.POLS2399 2025-11-25 17:09:43 +0000 UTC
