Made lectures fun and relatable. Always explained in depth about assignments and what was expected of us. Would definitely take a class with her again!

Carolyn did a really great job of making an intimidating class of research methods understandable and interesting. She cared about the students success and spent the semester preparing us for the final paper. Her exams are straight off the study guide she provides. Homework grades are an automatic 100% if you turn them in and show up to discussion.
