Comment:

She is seriously one of the worst professors ever. I took it online assuming it wouldn't be bad, but it was one of my most time consuming classes. It's nearly impossible to get an A on anything because she grades SO HARD. Avoid taking this class at all costs!!

I took this as an online half semester class. She cares about her students and is willing to work with you if life happens. Weekly discussion boards were basically 10/10 as long as you did them on time, and she doesnt grade too hard. She also offers online materials as narrated PowerPoint videos, PowerPoint slides, and notated PDFs, which was dope

She's probably the worst professor ever. She gave assignments that due in spring break and made us do bunch of ridiculous assignments like 12-page research paper along with weekly discussions etc. She treated this online class like a 500 level class. AVOID!!!!

Comment:

She wasn't bad. Tried a lot of "new age" teaching methods that some students were into (not me). The lectures were put online after class was finished. I didn't go to lectures that often, but if you want to understand the content in more detail, go to lecture. The tests for this class were all multiple choice, so you just have to read carefully.

Comment:

The way she grades is awful, expect everything to be graded by a student, who by the look of the comments you get back just tries to find something to take off points. The group project and research paper either make or break your grade, get a deadbeat group and you are done.

Comment:

Not the best teacher I've ever had. Has seriously hard grading on writing assignments. Her grade-posting is awful, she enters all grades in at the beginning of the semester so you start with an F and work your way up to an A, so you never really know what grade you have. Tests are hard. Only 2 exams for a ton of information.

Lisa is a great professor. She clearly has a passion for what she does and that is exhibited in her teaching. She is always willing to help and listen to new ideas.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! She is horrible, she lectures to the back wall in a monotone voice, sometimes gets the facts wrong and says she is right. Her study guides along with her tests so not make sense, there are more than one correct answers and you have to play psychic to find out which one she want. She isn't willing to help her student.

Prof Harrington wasn't very interesting to listen to. She is a very nice lady, and is very willing to help students. Her classes were just kind of boring. Her study guides were also really unorganized and unclear.

Her voice was unbearable after about 20 minutes, and the PowerPoint lectures were painful.

Comment:

She is a nice lady, but I can't stand her voice,and her lectures bore me to tears. I stayed awake for about 3 lectures whole semester. And her power point slides are unorganized, it was always a guessing game to figure out what to study for the tests. Avoid her class if possible, you probly won't do better then a C.

She is not all that hard although her test questions can be tricky. She gives study guides before her tests and as long as you study and go to class you will be just fine.
