Comment:
Tucker is a nice woman but she's brilliant... so she expects the same from a general education class. She is hard to follow in her classes. Talks on and on and on and it's exhausting to listen to--especially because you're not graded on it. You better look at the syllabus because she won't even tell you about assignments approaching that are due.

Comment:
Her class is SO SO SO easy. However, she does not stick to her syllabus at all, so that was a bit challenging. Theres no textbook, but a lot of little books to buy. I rarely read but she covered the material in class. Gave a lot of extra credit. Only thing I didn't like was that she doesn't listen to other's opinions, she was ALWAYS right.

The hardest thing about this class was that she didn't stick to her schedule very well. It made it hard to do hw, but honestly half the time I didn't know what I was supposed to read and it never mattered. Her lectures covered all the reading fine. I think her choice of texts was great and loved her as a person. Learned a lot. Easy grader.

Comment:
Tucker is an...openminded teacher. She teaches a hard class to teach, attendance is required. The books are mostly fiction and worthless. Only two books are factual. She fails to keep the schedule and often times we were trying to figure out what we had due each day.

Comment:
At first this professor overwhelmed me. I got my first paper back and got a C- on it and was stunned because prior to this I was a straight A student. However, I stuck it through the end and kept working hard, especially at participating in class. She gave extra credit, and despite doing poorly on all the papers I still got an A. Worth it to try he

Comment:
Expectations for papers are totally unclear, and she's a very tough grader (totally unfair when expectations aren't clear). Her idea of lesson planning/discussion is to have students read their papers aloud, then tear them apart in front of everyone. Didn't stick to the syllabus, and added a paper at the end.Very nice as a person, terrible prof

Good teacher. Teaches on many subjects you would not learn any where else. Must read all material! Exams ask aboutspecific quotes from books.

Comment:
This class isn't boring at all if you're interested in the topic of AfricanAmerican women's history and the way AfricanAmer women have shaped & are shaped by American Culture. No exams only a few small papers&study guides. Personally, I could listen to her talk all day. She's an amazing person and it's one of the best classes I've taken at GVSU.

Professor Tucker is a lil crazy, but she's cool. Class is pretty boring but it's been getting a lil better throughout the year, but writing papers for her are hard because what she thinks goes.

Comment:
All we do is listen to her read aloud or lecture on barely related topics. Occasional analysis of literature is limited to the most elementary observations. It's impossible to get a decent grade on a paper if she disagrees with your opinion.

Comment:
For a literature class, there is not much literary analysis going on. She lists useless dates and information the entire class. Very unorganized also. Hardly any chances to earn points. One huge exam for the semester. Not a good class at all.

Class is so boring. There aren't many grades for the semester so if you screw one thing up, its over. If she does not agree with your opinion ( or vice-versa) have a good time trying to get a good grade on papers even with good supporting arguments. She isnt impossible, just not very much fun.

Tucker is pretty unorganized, forgets things that she said she'd go over, and even gave us last year's syllabus/schedule by accident! Her lectures are boring and redundant. She's very nice, and so far easy, though I haven't had a test or paper for her yet so we'll see how that goes.

Professor Tucker is an AWESOME teacher and person. She is always open to helping anyone in need. I have taken a few African American Studies courses with her along with a few English courses and I absolutely love her. I feel that I have learned more in the courses that she has taught than in anyone elses. She is AWESOME!!!

Great teacher, and a class with a different feel. I recommend her to all GVSU students. Her class was a nice change of pace, a class with good dialogue that actually made you think.

Comment:
Unbelievably unorganized--told us day 1 of class that she'd changed 2 novels (that we'd already purchased/read). Which ed. of the Norton? How many assignments? Reading questions, quizzes--no quality analysis demanded. INCREDIBLY boring. What a shame to let such great lit fall through her hands.
