Comment:
An insane amount of assignments are given by the professor. Like we are students not machines. If you have a job and taking 5 classes a semester you will have a hard time passing this class with this professor. Would rate this class 9/10 in difficulty. Take this class with a different professor.

You know how DC keeps changing direction of their movies? Yeah, prof. Franklin should change her teaching. Honest to god I tried my best & put in WORK yet somehow was unable to match her grading standards. Her TOUGH grading is unwarranted. I get trying to improve skills but jesus not like this. Expect lots of reading, hw, vagueness & hard grading.

Comment:
Whoever rated her over a 2 is lying. She sucks at teaching. She does not care at all if you pass or fail even if you try. She assigns too many things with such little time to do them. Get ready to do work over spring break. I honestly would fire her If I were the dean. She gets offended if you don't address her by Dr. and is just really unorganized

You can tell she is a nice person, but her grading was overall way too harsh. i took her class online and the zoom meetings were just breakout rooms instead of lectures. 1-2 quizzes every week along with homework, which was too much workload especially because they aren't even a big portion of your grade.

Shes no help and sucks at answering emails, also doesnt know how to structure class. Very rude and not clear at all. Told the department about her mess or class and they told me shes stressed cause of her kids and the pandemic. She acts like this is the only class we take and give a lot of home work. AVOID HER AT ALL COST

Worst professor ever, you would think she would know how to teach online considering she's been doing this for a while. She is no help at all never gave clear feedback and was very harsh. Unable to contact her many times or she would stop answering emails. Told department chairs about her and they were no help and basically said it was my fault.

Comment:
She does not provide any feedback on your writing. You taught yourself throughout the whole course and she only there to grade you. Have many assignments that could have been helpful if she actually gives feedback on. The grading scale is ridiculous with 70% focus on exams. Even if you are desperate to take this class, don't take her.

Comment:
She sucks! She makes you do way more busywork than other professors. She's a really hard grader. You have to write EXACTLY how she tells you to write. After you take your first writing test, go visit her office hours. Ask her how to fix it and then just do exactly she she says. You have to be very clear and concise. The group project is annoying.

I took this class online. Learning material is so limited in compare to assignments and quizzes. She has no mercy when it comes to grading, and her feedback is short and confusing. She is not responsive to emails and very tough grader. The group projects are very time consuming and unfair. Overall will never take a class with this professor again

Worst teacher. Unnecessary homework and quizzes every week. 3 exams, 1 group project as final. Tough grader and does not explain things well. DOES NOT SAY WHAT SHE WANTS ON EXAMS AND DOES NOT TEACH YOU WHAT SHE WANTS TO SEE! Expects you to know. Every single assignment instructions are vague. Get a good group for the group project (7-9 page paper).

Tedious, useless online assignments. Makes you submit an assignment to 4 different assignment links. Dont take this class, trust me and everyone else who rated her. No communication If you take her class online, no clear instructions at all. Honestly, take somebody else

Weekly, tedious online homework that's useless to what you do in class since it's just writing letters/memos/emails. In-class activities every day so don't miss class. She grades ridiculously hard on exams. All the feedback on exams that she gave me were minor mistakes yet I averaged a C on all of them. Take someone else if possible.

This class is was the hardest class I have taken in my whole college experience. Every review about her is correct: grades very very hard, useless feedback, etc. If you can avoid taking her class I would. You will spend more time on this class than you do than any other that semester.

I loved this class. I learned a lot, and she made the class enjoyable. She cares about her students and wants you to succeed. Would highly recommend her.

Somehow, I just don't know why she gave the resume point so low without any suggestion in the paper. She did't even teach. Grade harder even though study hard. Not responsible for her work.

She grades VERY hard and leaves vague, unreadable feedback on tests. This is the hardest class I have taken in my time at CSUF. The homework is okay, but you still have to put time and effort into it. Two projects rushed in at the end of the semester. Two chances for extra credit are super helpful and easy. I would avoid taking this professor.

Just awful. -- Most people hit the nail on the head. Feedback is useless (it really is just some scribbles and a couple of comments.) I'm not, by any means, a lazy student, my GPA is above 3.8, I work very hard and this professor is just the worst. Ironically, a horrible communicator.
