Considering it's only a 2-unit class, she assigns lots of work. You have to pay $50 or something ridiculous for the online textbook program. Assignments are locked until the week they're due. She gave us a final paper, and at the top of the assignment, she claimed she gave us two weeks to do it. She did not, in fact, give us two weeks to do it.
For a whopping two units, you must pay for a required textbook, pay for online proctoring, and complete 5+ 20-30min assignments a week. Two units, you guys. I don't know how this is allowed. There is far too much work for a useless class that does not fulfill any requirements. I regret taking this but I am graduating.
DO NOT TAKE DR. SLADE. SHE IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER. This class has been a fight since day 1 and it is only 3 units. I have 2 other major courses I'm trying to do and she up and assigns 2 essays due in the last 2 weeks of the quarter! Not even getting into how bad the rest of the quarter was. Don't take this glorified PE teacher.
honestly i NEVER write reviews but i wish i knew this is nothing like i expected before i signed up. if you are taking an ESS class just for an easy credit do NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. it was more work than all of my other classes. ive never had lectures, discussions, and projects all due in a week. i spend more time on this than any of my major classes
Lectures are unprepared and rushed. Does not know how to conduct classroom participation. Group activities aren't given enough time. Absurd amount of reading and teaching yourself. Uses McGraw Hill (the worst online textbook out there). 1 assignment = 1+ hr. Weekly proctored online quizzes. If u wanna fail a class, you found the right teacher. 0/10
She gives a lot of weekly assignments and quizzes that you must complete for a good grade. You must attend in class lectures to really get a good grade as well. If you do not show up or slack off then you will not get a good grade. She is also not a good lecturer and really does not teach well. All she does is talk about how she used to play bball.
