Boring class which included pointless group work, a lot of movies, and tests that came right from the information in the book. Would have been better online. She is rude and very unapproachable which is horrible for a professor! Even worse advising.

Lectures are boring and confusing. If you want to pass the tests, you must teach yourself by reading word for word in the textbook.

A boring uninteresting professor. Tough with grading. She seems to have a bias or prejudice against male students as demonstrated by her interaction with them. Not recommended.

Took her Hybrid family life course and we only had to meet like, once every few weeks and when we did i dreaded being in that class for every second. It's boring, honestly. I wouldnt recommend this class to anyone, but if you did have to take it for whatever reason, just be ready to read your book.

Such an interesting class but difficult tests. Hybrid course only meets once in a while but the tests are all from reading. She is nice but sometimes not so nice. Cool class though.

I took her hybrid course, so you do a lot on your own, and you have to read the text. She was sometimes quite unorganized but overall she is a passionate teacher and will help you to succeed.

If u are looking for a hybrid class this is perfect balance between in class and online. tests can be hard and you NEED to read the text. she puts the lesson plan online the week it is due so check email a lot. She waits till last minute to post things on line

I took the Hybrid course with her, and it wasn't too bad. Sometimes it was quite difficult and the work load was a little much for a low level class, but it was easy stuff. Study and you'll do well, she loves what she does.

This class is interesting but she makes it harder than it has to be. Be prepared to read the book and participate in class. Take your own notes in class; she does not give you them but expects you to know it for the exams. Overall, it wasn't a bad class though.

I had her for this class and human sexuality. She's a good teacher, the class disscusions are fun, but she puts a lot of info from the book on the tests, so be sure to read carefully.

I had 2 classes with her, she was different for each class except for the fact that the exam material is straight from the book. she is also a raging feminist, I don't like.

she's nice and easy to understand. just read the book and take notes. tests are mostly multiple choice w/ some short answer- and she adds a few points onto everyones tests to account for any misunderstanings she might have had when grading the short answer. just email her with questions, it may take a few days, but she'll answer

I enjoy having her as a teacher. In order to do well on her tests you must read the chapters, which in my opinion are fairly interesting. She hands back your tests the very next class. I would deffinitaly recommend her as a teacher.

you must go to class and READ the chapters to do well in her classes. The tests are hard with multiple choice and 3 or more pages of short answer and fill in the blank. She doesn't care much about the needs of students or their grades in her class. Very straight forward and easy to understand but not all that friendly.

Is the only person I know that could make me dread coming to Human Sexuality class. Is very overly opinionated and doesn't give much credence to any opinion that opposes her own. Is not a very nice person as a teacher or an advisor. Ugh, seriously, she made Human Sexuality suck! How is that even possible!?

My advice for any student who wants to succeed in either Sexuality or Family Life: READ THE CHAPTERS! Attend all classes. If you are conservative, never, ever admit it to this professor! All in all, a good teacher and an easy grader.

Can easily say I HATE THIS PROFESSOR. Unfriendly, Rude, Biased, Sarcastic, Grades assignments based on her mood and whether she likes you. I waited all semester to do student evaluations - I even kept a rough draft. HATE THIS PROFESSOR. Avoid @ all costs.

I like Dr. Follansbee. Her classes are extremely easy!!! I just read the chapters and managed to get a 95% on both tests so far. She is slow to warm up to people. When I had her last semester for Family Life, I really disliked her; she seems to be in a better mood this semester.

Patti Follansbee is a great professor. She doesn't just lecture in front of the class. She makes class fun with discussions and stories. The tests are easy if you take a look at the book. There are no trick questions and you don't need to know dates or statistics for them or little specifics.
