Comment:

The comment where they rather get "paper cuts in between my toes and then dip my feet into a bucket of 99% isopropyl alcohol" is an understatement! I'm not sure why CSUB still has this degrading, condescending, pathetic excuse for an educator on their payroll. She teaches communication yet she has the worst communication skills with students AVOID

Worst teacher I have had at CSUB. She is also the most unprofessional professor I have had. Was horrible at communicating with students and has an unnecessary attitude for no reason. I would not retake or recommend this class to anyone. I would rate a 0 if it allowed me to.

boy oh boy. i would literally rather give myself paper cuts in between my toes and then dip my feet into a bucket of 99% isopropyl alcohol than retake this class. seriously, don't do it if you have any ounce of self-love. so many papers and unnecessarily difficult quizzes on literally everything in the textbook. covid would've hurt less than this.

This teacher is terrible! The class should not be as hard as she makes it. Theres not many assignments, but there were a total of 3 paper (Two 5-page & One 8-page). All of which, I feel were unnecessarily long and shouldve had more assignments to back them up. And she gave me a ZERO on the 8-page paper as if I didnt even do it. NEVER AGAIN!

I took this class for my upper division. She makes you write a lot of paper with very strict requirements and offers little to no guidance on her expectations. She has weekly homework discussion boards and plenty of quizzes. Her exams and quizzes are based off the most random things in the textbook instead of actual concepts. DO NOT take her!

Took this class for my upper division thinking I would pass no problem but that wasnt the case. She gives you three papers with little instructions on how to pass the papers and wont give you feedback on them until 3 days grades close. She isnt caring and doesnt get back to emails even though she says she does. I dont recommend taking her.

Comment:

Her grading of papers makes zero sense and what she tests on out of the book is the most random parts of the text book. She offers no help when you try to ask for guidance. She has a zero tolerance policy for late work, but she takes FOREVER to grade papers. She seems to not care about her students at all. I do not recommend her at all.

Be ready to write a ridiculous amount of (lengthy) papers. She grades them very weirdly and harshly. The only reason I passed with an A- was because it was online. Good luck ��

She is not engaged with the students at all. When it comes to the essays she grades them so hard and unfairly. I have never received a grade lower than a C on a paper before and I got much worse on her assigned papers. I would not recommend taking this teacher to anyone, even if the course is required.

Comment:

She is the worst professor that I have ever taken. She doesn't grade things until the last min, then expects you to use the comments from past graded material on things that have already been turned in by the time you have read the comments. Do not take this class unless you want to bang your head against the wall with frustration.

Doesn't explain prompts and is extremely critical when grading. She criticizes for spelling errors but in every email and prompt she sounds illiterate. Most profs. want you to pass and give you good feedback on assignments but she's not one of those.

She waits until the last minute to grade your work so you have no way of progressing throughout the semester. She doesn't engage with students and when she leads feedback on your papers she speaks to you as if you were supposed to know this already. Do not take her if you don't have to!

Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. Tests are worth 2.54 points and have between 20-60 questions, but the homework is the worst. Not because it's difficult (it is) but because she takes weeks or even MONTHS to grade. Her grading criteria is obscure and she is not remotely helpful. She doesn't care about student success, so spend your time elsewhere.

Comment:

This is one of those professors who thinks their class is the end all, be all of life. Not only is she a tough grader, she is not understanding of students lives, and is unwilling to work with you. Her time is evidently too valuable to be wasted on the common folk. For the love of everything good in this world do NOT take her class. Youll thank me

Comment:

Im currently in her class, discussions are fair, tests are fair, however the way she grades the assignments are a bit harsh. She has a point, she clearly wants to better our understanding and writing, but she leaves comments without thinking twice. Try not to take it to heart, and just suck it up and work on it to avoid it the next time.

Comment:

She does have a clear grading criteria, since it's an online class. However, she just assigns readings and quizzes every week and discussions. She gives a guide on what to focus on the reading for the test, but it's too vague. The readings are so long and she asks very specific questions. You can pass but her system is pretty annoying. Good luck.

Comment:

I went into this class expecting an A but it was harder than I expected. She was a really tough grader. I was always confused about the assignments because the directions were all over the place. Most of the assignments I did horrible on but I use to pass all of the quizzes and test. This class was really stressful I barely got a B.
