Great course and lectures are interesting. However, she is not understanding of any personal issues or concerns, is not accommodating at all. So if you get sick or can't make a test or genuinely anything normal pops up, she won't be helpful in any way.

Class consists of 3 conflict journals (~1 page each) and a conflict reflection paper (~2 pages) but are kinda fun assignments. 2 pop quizzes (lowest score dropped), 5 in class activities (super easy), and a midterm and final (40 question MC and T/F). You don't need to read txtbk, just go to lecture and read your notes/study guide for the tests.

I lost a lot of respect for Prof myers. I truly enjoyed her class, but I went through a lot of difficult personal, family issues this quarter that caused me to not do well in this class. I explained to her what I was going through with proof and she was not understanding whatsoever. I was disappointed as I had really enjoyed her class until now

I took this class for a 3 week summer course. Really straight forward and easy to follow, but make sure to attend EVERY lecture. Book is good for supplementary reading to clear up any uncertainties from class. 1 midterm, 1 final, and other small assignments. Tough grader on everything written but the tests are straightforward.

I took her for Summer Comm/Conflict. The midterm was straightforward, but there was some confusion about what would be on the final because the study guide wasn't as precise. The course moved quickly, but she was always willing to answer questions. Don't have to do ALL of the reading, but some of it IS on the tests. Highly Recommend!

A great Prof. Took her for 3wk summer course, found it to be easy. Do have to keep up w/reading, but test are straightforward from lecture and bk. If you attend lectures which is a must and do the reading you'll be fine. I didn't study too much for the midterm or final but attended class and read the bk and got an A.
