Dance45 . Holmes S W 16 Days Ago

She acts like she's on ur side with things like bad wifi, messed up/unclear due dates of assignments, however then refuses to fix them. Pretty inconsiderate, and stuck up woman.

By FAR the worst professor Ive ever had. Super inconsistent with deadlines and overall made what could've been a super fun, chill class, miserable and inconvenient. She releases assignments at random times, refuses to admit that she was ever "wrong" about anything/messed up. She blames canvas headquarters for issues when in reality its just her.

Class was easy if you did the readings and made sure to follow rubric. Tests and assignments often only open on the weekends.

Dance45 . Holmes S W 20 Days Ago

She gave assignments at the worst times that didn't help me learn and took so long. She would assign things on the weekends and not unlock it so I couldn't do them early or late, so if you were busy that weekend, you would just miss points on all assignments that week. It felt inconvenient on purpose. Easy to get an A. If you do the work you will.

She always said we would leave class early every day, but then we wouldn't lol. The lectures were boring, but overall really easy class. Definitely recommend as a GE. Don't skip class, but you don't even really have to listen.

If required iClicker (with zero mercy despite bad WiFi) not being enough, she creates random "reading checks" due at the most absurd and unpredictable times on random days. Bad policy on group attendance-- why are we losing points due to others' behavior? At the least the class is incredibly easy.
