Comment:
As this is a 400-level class, I expected it to be challenging. However the amount of readings assigned are absurd, and every time I turn around there's another paper due. Considering the professor is never around to answer questions or, I don't know, teach, the work load is extreme. I wouldn't recommend this class. She is nice though.

Comment:
She's retired now, so it's understandable that she might not be as dedicated as you'd expect. However, she cancels a solid half of the classes and assigns readings in the place of class, and they're all very boring. Her tests are IMPOSSIBLE (physically - there's not enough time to complete them, no matter how quickly you type.) Kind of boring..

Research Methods is a pretty boring class regardless of who you take. Knickrehm at least is willing to help although she can be a bit confusing at times.

This has to be the most worthless class at JMU. I learned nothing. Everybody in my class thought talked as if they were some secret government agent or something, especially one annoying kid who would never shut up. Tests are hard as crap, but do the papers to get a good grade. I came out with a B.

Tests can be a little tricky but for the most part are fair and reflect the material covered in class & in the readings. Very boring group presentations. Prof. is nice and knowledgable.

Nice teacher but tough class. She does not make it clear what exactly is on the tests and its really hard to study for the tests. The tests are not made by her and come from the department so they are not fit for her notes. Extra credit is helpful but definitely not an easy A.

I sometimes wonder if she really does have a PHD! The only thing she does is read from the slides that contain information that are so obvious to everyone.She doesnt know how to prepare tests,makes the course harder than it is. Boring, monotonous voice!!!

I loved the class, she knows a lot, she has experience with it -other than teaching and her body language can be fairly amusing, fair amount of work but if you're interested in the topic I HIGHLY recommend taking this class with her

Um, she kinda sucks big time. All her slides are on blackboard (which she reads directly off of), but has an attendance policy. Hard tests, easy papers, but borrrrrrrrring. Dont take it.

Worst teacher. I was a Poli-Sci major before i took this class, mid-semester I changed majors. Tests are ridiculously hard, class avg usually around 68-72. Probly around 12-15 pages worth of papers, easy papers tho.

Very nice lady and I'm almost positive that she was a hippie. Tests are a bit tricky, but she allows open forums for class discussions, so it evens out.

Material is very general and vague. She fails to go into much depth. Her papers are easy but the tests are flat out impossible with no curve (there is a 5 point extra credit paper). I would not take her again.
