Comment:
PLEASE NO ONE TAKE THIS COURSE ONLINE WITH HER! She loves to fail weekly short-essay assignments then send out an email telling us what we did to fail then fails you for something different the next week. I am afraid to take online courses again because of this lady. Very intelligent person I am sure but please get her out of here. Horrible Prof.

DO NOT TAKE THIS ONLINE CLASS!! She grades our essays like we have a PhD and this is just a GE class! No one ever scores higher than a 15 on the essays because of grammar and citations. I barely learned anything because I was trying so hard to write my essays perfectly. Apparenly to be successful in this class you have to publish a book like her...

TERRIBLE INSTRUCTOR!DO NOT TAKE ONLINE COURSE!She acts like this is a CREATIVE WRITING course.Read a book(incl 1 she wrote)every 2 wks & write essay pretending you are a person in the book.NO feedback on your paper.If you have questions about your grade,you need to guess what's wrong with your paper & email her asking if what you guessed is right.

Comment:
She is the WORST TEACHER EVER! I took her online Anthro class and expected it to be somewhat easy. NOPE! She is the hardest grader ever, she doesn't even explain why you get a low grade on the discussion board essays. Not helpful at all! Do not take her. I emailed her a few times asking what I can change about my essays but she doesn't help at all!

Comment:
I took Dr. Parman's online course in Spring 2010. Although she was by no means an easy instructor as far as grading goes, she was very clear as to what she expected from her students. I've noticed many students complaining about her attention to grammar, however, if you're a student in a college 300 class and don't use proper grammar, YIKES!!

Comment:
Dr. Parman is extremely particular about citation style. Quizzes are every other week and not timed. Cumulative final that is straight from the quizzes. The new editions of the workbook and text are not necessary. I had no problem whatsoever getting through the course with the old editions and I got an easy A.

Harder than a 300 class should be! The questions on the quizzes are really hard and she grades the essays based on grammar. Cummulative final!

Comment:
Do not take online. Unless you want a C for extremely hard work. She does not based on content rather grammar. 3 mistake is an F on the paper. She does send your mistakes if you ask but then the next one when you fix them she marks off on something else. It is impossible to get anything above a C on your paper.

Do NOT take this class online! she doesn't grade on what you write but rather grammar and if you use commas. I have spent so much time and effort on getting a decent grade on a post, but still get a bad grade.Her expectations are very high, I would not recommend this class at all!

Comment:
This lady is ridiculous! She is soo hard on her discussion assignments, it's impossible to get a good grade in this class. I've tried so hard on those assignemetns but somehow I always get a 5 out of 10. she is a lot more concerned w/ grammar than the content and if u have 3 grammar mistakes you will automatically receive an F on the assignment.

I took linguistics with her online. I wouldn't recommend, but I think it would have been better if not online. Make sure to pay close attention to the prompts. Not difficult but not easy. I give it a "eh" rating.

Comment:
i thought she would be hard since she is the dept chair but i was wrong! easiest class i ever had! i read all 3 books each the day before the exam and got a b in the class, i rarely showed up either, it really is an extremely simple class and fun for anthro, those who say she isn't clear just cant read instructions!

Comment:
BORING! Too difficult to sit through the lectures, too many dull videos, you have to read 2 books, both boring. Three quizzes all essay, unfair grader, very subjective. I got a C on the 1st, then a B, then an A on the "final". She gave me an A for the class! easy but it's like putting yourself through torture during class.

I thought she would be great but am thoroughly diasppointed by her teaching method. It sucks! Boring as a doormat. Her book is about as dry as a desert date. The class bites booty for real. Other than that she is quite cool. Take someone else if you can.

Comment:
her class is what everyone has said so far. They missed out on the most dreadful part of her class, having to read her book. Her bk makes this class become a pain most students failed the midterm b/c it was on her book. Class medium GPA was 2.2 the other two books are interesting but hers is dreadfu
