Past student reviews · Julie Poehlmann

Julie Poehlmann taught this class 99% online with only three in-person meetings, requiring students to self-teach material. Students found the syllabus confusing and noted inconsistencies in assignment directions, rubrics, and dates. While the childcare center visits were a positive, the lack of clear expectations and limited lecture made the experience feel disconnected.
