Comment:
Professor Phillips was amazing! You can tell she really just wants her students to know more about the world and what is happening outside of our own bubble. She made class interesting always, and the topics for weekly assignments were as well! However, the TA did not grade the weekly assignments fairly and rarely gave feedback.

Professor Phillips was great but my oh my was the TA unfair at grading. The first 6 weeks were fine but then she just started grading papers with no feedback and they were not the best grades. Honestly a little heated that I never even received feedback for some of these grades. If there is a new TA I would 100% take this class again.

Comment:
Lynn is extremely caring but an awful teacher. She is very lecture heavy, that is the only way she teaches. Attendance is not taken but if you don't come to class you can't get the notes. In this course, there were three exams, each 20% of your grade. If you aren't good with tests, don't take this class. The only positive is there is minimal hw.

This class was not too difficult, I however was not interested in the topic but the professor made it better. She is very kind and understanding but does not let late assignment slide. Her exams are noticeably more difficult that the class work but if you are looking for an easy B, I recommend this class.

Comment:
This profesor was very nice but a horrible teacher. Her lectures had nothing to do with our exams whatsoever and that was what our grade was based off. There was never study guides and we were never told what to exactly study for. On top of that, her notes were all over the place and they had nothing to do with the exams as well.

I really felt enjoyed this course. I highly recommend listening to her lectures, they are extremely informative. Her TA did grade pretty unfairly, however I never got a grade below a C. If you put in a standard amount of effort, you will finish with an A or B. Make sure to turn in assignments on time and you will be set!

Good teacher. Leans to the left when lecturing but still has interesting lectures nonetheless. Tests are open book and pretty easy if you attend the lectures. Homework was a breeze and took about 30 minutes to an hour each week. Easy A only problem is dealing with the TA who is very opinionated when grading.

Lynn has been one of the best professors Ive had at UK. She had been very caring and understanding during this weird online semester. Lectures can be interesting when she talks about her experiences. Weekly papers but they arent super hard and dont take long. Standard 3 exams. Youll be fine on exams/quizzes if you listen in class

I really enjoyed taking this professor. Lectures are not mandatory but are highly recommended. Although her lectures could sometimes stray off topic she covers everything that is on the test. She is a really nice professor and cares about her students sucess.

Comment:
This class was 5 times harder than it had to be because of how harsh the grading of the weekly assignments is with no grading criteria. She doesn't do any of the grading and the TA is always behind and doesn't leave comments. The tests were easy, but she treats the class is much more important than just a core class, which its not.

she doesnt grade anything, the rude TA does, then doesnt give feedback. Also returns grades back super late. Weekly assignments, seems easy, but have to read 5 articles and watch a movie for 100 words. Worst 100 level class I've taken.

She is a good professor but I would not take her again unless I had to. We did not have many assignments, so you need to do well on everything. Her slideshows were annoying because you never know what is important and they are super long. She posts slides though so attendance is not necessary.

Lynn is the most caring and passionate teacher I have ever had. She cares so much about her students and cares that we can use this information to be better citizens. She wants us to learn and succeed both as students and people. I wanted to please her. She was so passionate about her subject and made all of her students excited too.

I took this class for a UK core and it has been the easiest class I've ever taken. Phillips is the nicest, most caring person, and she was very accommodating when I had mono. This class is an easy A if you read the textbook; it's all memorization.

Im rating this professor with all honesty. She IS AWESOME! Reading all the previous reviews, I was hecka nervous for myself because you guys scared me. What the heck, first day in class and shes awesome! Maybe the reviewers dont care to learn about the environment/policy. The class Im in hasnt been taught in a couple years.

Easily one of the worst professors I've had. She wastes class time with off-topic conversations and then expects you to teach yourself the complete history and geography of the world. Read the textbook closely because test questions are super random details from the book. Study for tests weeks in advance because its a lot of memorization.

Comment:
As a person, Lynn is fabulous. She sincerely cares about her students. However, this class is difficult. She goes too fast during lecture and often rambles. The exams have content on them that aren't covered on the study guide. I took this just for a uk core credit and it dropped my gpa significantly. Don't take this class unless you HAVE to.
