Comment:
Before taking Dr. Montford's class, I was nervous because of her reviews! She is actually an awesome teacher. The tests are tough if you DON'T read, but everything comes straight from her lectures and the textbook! She was super helpful with the paper and typically gives additional pts on the test if it was too difficult. Must go to class for pts!

Comment:
She does go quickly through notes in class but it is essential to attend for she gives you information that is not on the powerpoints and needed for the test. Her tests are okay, would definitely recommend reading the book. She gives a study guide that does help a lot. Will give extra points here and there. Some test questions are misleading

Comment:
Her tests are ridiculous. I was an Early Childhood Education student from 6th to 12th grade, studied relentlessly, and still could not pass her tests. For example, the answer she chose to be correct for a question was "increase" the answer I chose was "change" and it was marked wrong. Her TAs are helpful, but her tests are unnecessarily hard.

Comment:
Very unclear about her expectations, cold when you do need to speak with her during office hours, and assigns a lot of busy work that takes a lot of time, but the amount of points possible for each assignment has no congruence with length of assignments. It is very sporadic.

Comment:
She was simply awful! She didn't do anything! Granted, I had her for an online course but I still would have expected her to put for SOME effort into teaching. Her tests are impossible to get higher than a c and her study guides are unclear and useless. I would not recommend this class to ANYONE.

Comment:
She's soo nice and really smart when it comes to children. She is someone I would call if I ever had questions regarding development of my children! All her notes she writes up on the board for you to copy. It is kind of like middle school but writing down the notes in class helps you to memorize them for exams. Exams are straight from notes

She knows her stuff but has a horrible way of teaching. She writes her notes on the dry erase board extremely sloppily and doesn't care when people complain. Really rude, really hard tests. 12 pop quizzes so you have to go to class but she doesn't take attendance. Do not recommend her

She is pretty cool. She knows the material very well and explains it very well. Her tests are hard though and tricky! You can know the information well and still not get an A :o( She's willing to help though so I would recommend her.

This professor was very opinionated and very reluctant to admit when she was wrong. Other students were intimidated by her responses, I just lacked respect for her responses. The material is great however and you can learn alot if you ignore her immaturity.

Dr. Montford was a great teacher. I learned more from this class than any other that I’ve taken. She has a knack for teaching this subject and feels deeply that we as students take something useful away. Very rewarding class!

Emily has some interesting opinions about things and asserts them often. She has a way of making students feel stupid if they do not agree with her. I dont think that public policy is her strongest area bcuz ive heard shes great in guidance.

She thought the kid safe zone sign was really a Safe Breastfeeding Area sign. She said it was a pic of a woman breastfeeding :| i lost faith in her teaching abilities after that.
