Raymond is overall nice, but her expectations are often confusing. She seems to improvise lesson plans a lot and just reads off of powerpoint slides that she then posts online. She has pop quizzes which makes attendance and reading mandatory. She assigned a group project that was poorly planned out and resulted in way more work than necessary.

Do not take this professor. She shows up to class and just reads from her boring slides. She doesn't prepare for class at all and it seems like she hasn't read her own slides in years. The material isn't challenging but she grades ridiculously hard. She is so unorganized and unclear about guidelines... avoid at all costs

took this class to satisfy my upper div elective credits and it was the worst mistake of my academic career. This teacher is so unorganized and the structure of the class is a sick joke. 2 papers, a group project, and a pop quiz on the readings every week that make up a majority of your grade. Graded group projects when she wasn't even there to see

the professor had room for improvement. the material could have been interesting but her class was a bore. I just wish she would have a lecture prepared instead of throwing us into groups. i read every chapter but the pop quizzes were tricky. it was not a hard class but i didnt look forward to going.

Do all the readings & you're good (wish I did). She has us do volunteer/activism work for 2 hours for 5 weeks. if you can look past this you're fine & honestly it isn't so bad. 1 pop quiz per week at the beginning of class based on reading so feel free to leave right after and she won't say a thing; lectures dont matter at all. no tests, 2 papers.

She offers extra credit but she doesn't even give you a rubric for it. Better yet, the point value in comparison to the work required to do the extra credit makes doing it not even worth it. You're not even guaranteed full credit if you do the extra credit too. i.e 10-12 pages work for about 10 pt extra credit max but not even guaranteed.
