One word: bad. I regret taking this class so much and its only week 3.. I'm sure she knows the content, but she just can't teach at all.. She reads off her slides really quickly then clicks past them so if you don't type 300 wpm, drop out. When it gets to the last 15 min of class, she looks at the time and says "ugh.. 8 more minutes ok ok.."

This professor his highly unorganized and breezes through powerpoint slides without giving you a chance to even read the slides. She puts way too much emphasis on group activities rather than actually teaching. There are pop quizzes so you have to keep up with the readings. Two papers and a group presentation.

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.

Poor choice of readings. The pop quizzes was a terrible idea. Considering the questions are inconsistent so everyone does really bad at them. (some quizzes easier than others but the readings are not great so it's just a complete fail). Frustrating class because it's ironic. It talks about the broken school system yet perpetuates it further plz fix
