Makes a huge deal out of simple concepts (like the IR schools of thought) which leads to really slow, boring classes. At least she's easy, and by easy I mean really easy.POLS414 2010-11-10 07:18:23 +0000 UTC
She is smart, helpful and knowledgable. I loved the class. She made me interested in International Affairs after being undecisidedIAF101 2008-04-29 21:55:51 +0000 UTC
However said she is friendly and nice was OK with sucking up to her. Probably one of the worst professors I have had. Easy grade if you do the papers (probably because the TAs grade it, while she doesnt do much). She made me dislike the subject. Waste of time and money.INTAFF 2006-04-05 23:27:01 +0000 UTC
write good papers and your all set but class sucks. if you disagree with her she hates you. If you agree with her she loves you.INTERAFFAIRS 2006-02-01 19:27:20 +0000 UTC
I had her as a TA for my comparitive politics class and for an egypt seminar and she's nothing but friendly and helpful. Highly Recommended.COMPOLEGYPT 2006-01-10 12:00:40 +0000 UTC
She must be some sort of anomaly in this school. What a waste of time and money... Please, spare yourself from the worst experience ever! Not a teacher but a mistake.INTERNATIONAL 2005-12-20 16:07:50 +0000 UTC
the most boring class to sit through. she's definitely not a good teacher. there is no clear structure to the lessons. basically just read the works and you should do fine, cause she doesn't grade too harshly. but the works are dry and long and you have to read almost two for every class.IAFU101 2005-04-04 22:30:55 +0000 UTC
Ridiculous. Reads from book and all examples are there as well. It's painful to attend class but an easy A as the essays seem difficult but grading is not tough.COMPPOL 2004-04-25 21:21:54 +0000 UTC
I had her for IAF as well and she is awful. My time would have been better spent just skimming the book. She has no respect towards students with differing opinions. Many students prooved her wrong in class many times. If you get her DROP her fastCOMPPOLI 2004-04-16 18:06:17 +0000 UTC
Absolutely the worst professor I've ever had! She reads right out the book and is unable to answer questions because she doesn't know anything. Definately switch out before you have her... she stinks.IAFU201 2004-04-09 18:19:52 +0000 UTC
As an international affairs minor i really enjoyed this class. Some dont like the class, but when the class doesnt speak up and debate, causes boredom. There are 4 papers, they arent always the easiest but a TA usually grades them. Easy A if you read and write four good papers.IAF101 2006-08-22 17:45:51 +0000 UTC
Indeed, the absolute worst professor I've had. She unfortunately doesn't understand the system. She asks the class questions, expecting responses, but it's lecture hall with 75+ students! Also, it's a low level course so no one cares to bother.IAFU101 2004-04-21 22:46:59 +0000 UTC
