Cares only about herself teaching. Does not try and help students if they are struggling and grades overly strict with no help. Does not communicate well through email and is difficult to contact and understand. Does not work with students only works for herself.

We are in week 11, and all I have is a midterm grade, NOTHING posted to blackboard with a grade. She requests we don't Email her, but she also doesn't look at the questions Discussion Board between Friday and Sunday, when all her assignments are due every Sunday. Due dates super unclear, and was my most stressful class this semester. Don't do it.

She has so many errors yet expects us to be perfect or else she will take off points. She is beyond confused and takes soooo long to answer. She has her dates messed up so much she doesnt know what she is talking about and then gets mad at the students even though she is in the wrong. I do not recommended anybody to take her, you will regret it.

I have never had a teacher make an online class as complicated as this lady but she managed to achieve being #1. Spelling/grammar errors everywhere yet she wants us to be perfect (sets a terrible example). Meaningless weekly discussions that do not help ANYBODY learn at all. Harsh grader. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CLOWN!!

Although she requires you to be near prefect in spelling and clear with your writing, her notes and instructions are often filled with errors, the same errors she deducts point off for. If you only take this class and no other classes, then maybe you'd have enough time to do all the work required. If you have a job just quit your job or drop this.

I am taking her this semester and I have never experienced such an awful professor. Her directions are SO unclear. She seems to be super confused & she hasn't graded any assignments yet even though we are on the 8th week of the semester.

Students beware. Harsh grader and rude professor. I have taken courses in 3 different colleges for 4 years, and I can tell you that shes the most horrible professor I have ever encountered. She will make sure that you dont succeed in her class by never giving you detailed instructions to her major assignments then fail you .

By far, the worst teacher I have ever had the unfortunate experience of dealing with. Get ready to work your butt off and still receive less than fair grades. She takes awhile to respond to questions, is condescending and rude, and clearly plays favorites with students. I am so upset I did not read this site first, CHOOSE ANOTHER TEACHER!

I LOVE this teacher if I could marry her I would! She was so awesome and helped me so much! The class wasn't even that hard like people said it would be and she is SUPER nice! I hope you choose her as a teacher next semester because she is like a god

I cannot wait for this semester to be over just to have this woman out of my life. You would be a fool to take her class. I wish I could give 0 ratings instead of 1's as the lowest.

HORRIBLE PROFESSOR! I seriously wish I had know about this website before I took a class with her. I can't help but laugh at the (very few) positive remarks about her because there is NOTHING good about this professor. STAY AWAY! DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAKE HER COURSE! She is miserable and needs to retire. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! TRUST ME!!

AWFUL. DO NOT TAKE A COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR. I had Professor John Brand last semester and I am prepared to say that this woman is WORSE than him. To better understand what I am saying, look at the reviews for John Brand. Yeah.

HORRIBLE INSTRUCTOR!!!!!! Do not take ANY class that she teaches. She will NOT help you learn if you make any sort of mistake. Instead she will tell you that you don't know what you are doing. As well as continue to tell you what you are doing everything wrong. STAY AWAY FROM THIS INSTRUCTOR. SHE IS A TERRIBLE!!!

One thing about ths teacher is that she is well organized, everything you need to pass this course is found on blackboard. If you follow the assigments and participate in the discussion boards, you will have a passing grade. Be sure you are familiar with work cited on your finals. I did not cite correctly therefore loosing many points. good teacher

She is not a good teacher considering a world of diverse students who English is not their first language don't take her . Not flexible, mean with grades, Points out mistakes and not ready to help you correct the mistake. Depends on group work that other students will leave one person to labor, Grade the group work secretly. She will fail you.

I wish I had looked here before I began this class. Discussions are the biggest waste of time, bunch of people just agreeing with what everyone else says. And there are so many. I really don't care what these people say or think, I just want to do my work. So much of your grade depends on these dumb discussion boards. DON'T, JUST DON'T!

RUN! Seriously, don't even bother. She relies heavily on group work in class and online. If you think you can get by on another person's work, she'll fail you. If you are a decent student, you'll STILL end up doing the work of all your lazy group members. It's a HUGE time commitment and not worth it. Plus her assignments are very unclear.

Overall, the course itself was a decently planned course. And it should be, considering that she has been teaching it for 10 years. But her professionalism was tacky. She used phrases such as "blew it" and "silly" about work I had produced, and spent multiples hours completing.

She took 5 wks to grade our assignments from wk 1. Every date in the syllabus was incorrect, she took wks to get back to anyone when they asked the correct dates. She didn't grade our midterm until the last week of class. She doesn't leave feedback or comments so it is impossible to know if you're actually doing well. Lazy. Unprofessional.

This was one of my favorite classes. It's a lot of writing and commenting on other's work. Read directions carefully. She is very concerned with format. If you keep up and follow the syllabus, it's an easy class.
