Comment:
Dr. Steffens is extremely knowledgeable of her subject, and it shows. She lays out all of the grading criteria for the projects and if you have any questions she will answer them. She is a very nice professor and genuinely cares about your success as a student. There are lots of in class points, so it is important to go to class.

Comment:
The class itself is a bit of work with the 15 diversity hours, but it's an easy A. Weekly quizzes are online (answers on quizlet) and the test questions are straight off the quizzes. She opens up the quizzes before tests, so it's a really good study tool. Steffens, herself, is a bit scatter brained and confusing to sit through a lecture.

Took for special education, easy class with her. Wasn't very exciting to listen to in class, but I always got good grades on the tests without paying much attention in the class.

She is very friendly and excited to be here, but is terrible with her speech abilities. She is hard to understand, and rarely clarifies what she is referring to.

Comment:
In 16 years of school, she is hands down the worst professor I have ever had. She is very rude to her students, calls out students during class and makes them feel stupid, she absolutely cannot explain anything, and she has no idea what kids' with special needs are actually like. also, she takes forever to grade things.

I think she was great and she has much experience with special education. Her handouts are extremely helpful and the tests are right off of them. She tells us stories of her experiences and gets us involved. And we watch some great videos.

She was my first advisor and she misadvised me. I would have been here another year if I had not switched advisors. In 3 years, she rescheduled every appointment I had with her. The class was easy though.
