Comment:
She's ok; not bad but not the best. Class was fairly interesting, but at some points the students were left to teach themselves. She's a very tough, but fair, grader. I found her to be not as understanding or forgiving as other professors, kind of in her own world. She's definitely passionate about what she teaches, and structures class very well.

Extremely difficult and helpful for independent study. If you have the opportunity to do one with her - take it!

Comment:
Human Rights / Human Wrongs has been one of the most difficult and rewarding classes I have taken during my four years at F&M. The course will change you life. Make sure you have a light schedule when you take it since it requires ++ of hours outside of class (prison visits weekly, working on case material, class readings, journals, memos,blogs)

The CBL:VITA-SOC INJUSTICE course was a really rewarding experience. Professor guided our group to write a $15,000 grant that we were later awarded!

The Citizenship Seminar team taught with Deans Trachte was absolutely amazing! One of the best classes I have ever taken at F&M - the class changed my entire view of citizenship. The CBL component of the course was really significant but totally worth the impact!

Professor ****litch may be tough but she is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet. She is very passionate about human rights and it comes across in the numerous interesting lectures/class discussions that comprise the majority of the class. Go out of your way to take her class, it is very fascinating and worthwhile. You will learn A LOT

Amazing professor. She is very strict and serious about deadlines, but she wants us to be ready for the world after school. She knows what she is talking about, and if you work hard, you will see the rewards!

Great Speakers, a great class really. But she's a person who really wants to impose her view on students, and does not allow for anything she considers right to be disputed,especially when it comes to civil rights (such as sexual orientation). OK class overall if you do reading.

Comment:
The class was monopolized by obnoxious and idiotic country reports with students who had no idea about anything. With that said, actual lecturing always began and ended with the same unanswered question from the first to the last day "what is the balance between freedom and equality?"

Hated this course the first couple of days but love it now. Gets off on tangents & don't expect to be able to read her notes on the board. BUT the class is amazing my hardest and my favorite. Will make you see outside sphere you live in.

The the reading was interesting, the speakers were great and the class changed my outlook on life. HOWEVER she's VERY unorganized, VERY unclear on what she wants in projects, and lectures have the same melodramatic tone aimed at shaming one into activism.

Terribly unorganized, confuses her students because she doesnt follow the outline, too much work in a very short time, very demanding and not easily accessible to students.

Expects alot but gives alot back in return. She teaches more than just book knowledge...she teaches about the world and what we, as students, can do to make a difference. If you want to learn how to make a difference, take one of her classes!!!

She's totally unorganized, doesn't like helping people, and boring. She may like what she teaches but she could care less about her students.
