Comment:

Dr. Combs class was pretty simple. We weren't required to attend class on Tuesdays but it was mandatory that we were there on Thursdays. As long as you participate in class, it is fairly easy. She gives a lot of grades throughout the semester so you have a lot of opportunities to pull your grade up. She is very sweet and knows her stuff.

Comment:

Dr. Combs is a super sweet and educated woman. Her class was pretty easy. It was interesting and boring at times. Participation does matter a ton and it's where a lot of your grade comes from. She offered a lot of extra credit so you should come out with an A. There are only 2 tests but if you attend class, she will help you out in the end.

dr. combs is by far the best professor at uncc. Very knowledgeable and finds a way to relate everything back to real life events making it so much easier to understand and remember. 3 tests and one paper/tiny presentation, lowest test grade dropped. Gives study guide. Answer test questions with the examples she gave during class and youll get an A.

Professor Combs is one of the nicest and sweetest professors I've had at UNCC so far. Her class is an easy A as long as you participate and attended class. She makes the class intended for you to succeed, while becoming informed on global topics. She randomly cancelled class a few times so thats cool, and She's like a cute little old grandma

She is an amazing professor who knows every aspect of political science. Whether you have an interest in becoming a politician or lawyer, or you are taking the class for credit, she makes the class fun. She is easy to talk to and helps in every way possible. You do have to work for a good grade, but she makes it fun.

Exams are super hard! No multiple choice, all short answers. She gives you a study guide but none of it is on the exam. Class is interesting but exams are so hard. Not an easy A!!!

Very nice lady. Knows her topic. The class had constant interruptions by know-it-all students, correcting her, if you can imagine, which speaks for the students, what do you expect. Of course, even breaking off into group demonstrations the students had to bicker and loose the point; which wasn't what we were doing, speaks for the students.

I took Homeland Security with her. She talks very fast and is somewhat disorganized. She is a tough teacher and you will have to work to get an A. She is very knowledgeable which makes class interesting. One class with her was enough for me.

I took her for int law. Her tests are challenging but she tells you what to expect, she's extremely knowledgable, very approachable, do what she says to prepare. Go to class, it's not mandatory but go. I would take any of her classes. If you're expecting an easy A this is not the class for you.

I took her Homeland Security course over the summer. There was only 5 discussions, a midterm, and a final. You have to attend 5 out of 10 online wimba sessions. Both exams are timed with multiple choice, short answer, and an essay. The class was easy and very interesting.

I've had Dr. Combs for 3 classes now and have enjoyed every one! She does talk fast, but has an incredible knowledge base! Always helpful to any student that actually seeks her help and although a very busy woman will always make time for her students! I highly recommend Dr. C, she's been my most influential professor while at UNCC.

I took Dr. Combs for both INTL Law and Terrorism, and she is great! The class is only hard if you do not pay attention or care. She is extremely helpful, and obviously knows her stuff. Take every class from her you can!

This class was horrible. She is so unorganized, and has a teachers aid in charge of posting things online which are NEVER up to date, so it's very difficult to keep up with your assignments. The lectures hardly never have to do with what you actually need to know. She talks so fast you can barely keep up anyway. And then she's SO out of breath.

Cindy is an amazing teacher, I can't imagine why she stayed at UNC-Charlotte. I finished her class in May 90' and she was a great teacher then and I am sure a still great one now.

Everyone thinks she's great, but she gets involved in student politicing too much. She never has time for you and she allows certain students to take advantage of her authority. VERY VERY VERY VERY BIAS to "special" students that are not as smart as everyone thinks.

AMAZING professor.. simply amazing. The tests come from the notes straight up, and a few questions from the reading. But you don't even need to read the text, just read the book of assigned articles.. the study guide will tell you EXACTLY what terms to know from the text.. if you do this, you're golden. She's such a cute dresser too! GREAT!!!!!!!!

Ugh, NOT a good class, especially in the morning. She talks WAY to fast and it's hard to seperate out what you need to know for the test and what you don't. She also has these games before the tests that do not help at all. VERY hard to understand, i wish I had never taken this class!
