CollegeThis class was pretty easy but also just felt like a bunch of random, disparate topics all thrown together. I was a missing a "so what" moment towards the end of the quarter to tie everything together. Professor was nice but also gave off the vibe that she was making it up as she went along.
iClicker attendance which sucks bc lectures are so boring - otherwise super easy to do well as long as ur familiar with the couple of readings each week (which u should be if u do the weekly reading responses). VERY BASIC material prob due to the prof's seemingly basic understanding of them... helpful office hours though? wouldn't wanna take again
Attendance is mandatory(I-Clicker), doesn't give out extra credit, or allow late submissions. I would not recommend this course unless you like being ragebaited. Barely any feedback, if any at all. I did learn something, but at what cost?
Uses IClicker. Says "um" maybe every five seconds (quite distracting). Reads straight off slides, sometimes doesn't seem like she knows what she's saying. Midterm is difficult. Have to get 100% on every assignment if you want an A. She assigns A LOT of readings a week. TA does grade pretty quick.
She seemed nice but the class was confusing. I just didn't know what we were learning when and it just felt like random topics. She used iClicker to make sure u went to class which was kind of annoying because she just read off slides that she posts later anyway. The essays were graded nicely but the test was a little hard because it was so random.
I would not recommend taking a class with her if you have the option. Her lectures were her reading off the slides and so insanely hard to follow. Every "point" she would make never had a conclusion and she said "um" and "uhhh" every other word. I honestly had to leave class so many times mid-lecture because it was so frustrating to listen to.
