Pretty boring, but not horrible. She's clear about what she wants. Gives study guide for the midterm and final. Also gives the essay question beforehand so you can prepare.

One of my top two favorite professor's I ever had. She knows the material, immense knowledge, encourages involvement and is an incredible educator. Take her!

VERY BORING. I did not learn anything from this class. Her lectures are extremely broad, unclear, disorganized and sometimes off topic. Nice lady but can't teach!

Very easy, first seminar experience. Students didn't have to lead the class, just had to come prepared to share once a week. Other days you had to be prepared, but pretty easy to just wing it. Tough grader, not exactly sure what she was looking for, pretty nice though.

Comment:
take her! she is very easy. i never read one book, just read the sparknotes, and reworded what the other kids in my class said, and got an easy A. make sure that before each essay is due you meet with her in her office prior so that she can critique your final essay, which basically guarantees an A. freshman take her!

Comment:
Very easy class to pass. The material is interesting but the professor is boring. She likes to talk about her own research a lot (Vietnamese gang members). It's very easy to sit in the back of the class, never pay attention, and still get an A!! She never pronounced anyone's name right.. Don't take her if you expect to be engaged during class time.

Probably hands down the most boring class i have ever had to take. it really was just a huge waste of money. she's a really, really nice person, but i could have taught myself the material and saved a couple thousand bucks.

I would rather chew on glass than take a class with this lady again. I rather walk on rusty nails. If you have to take a boring class with her, congrats, you're wasting your money!!!

The most boring teacher in the world. somewhat easy grader, but not worth your time or money. You will end up wanting to drop out of the class because of how boring it is. Don't take her if you like to keep your eyes open for more than ten minutes in a class. she is easy tho

Hated It! Absolutely boring class. Still do not understand why I had to take it. The most awful college class I have ever taken. Even for a million dollars, there is no way in hell I would ever take a class with her.

Phylis is a pretty good teacher, but the material of the class is pretty boring and there's a lot of reading to be done. Attendence isn't really required of anyone. Tests are scheduled regularly, group projects, and essays are all required.

Good teacher, always willing to listen. Does not give out a lot of assignments. She talks slow, so easy to take notes but can be boring at times.
