This class is awful but Frances is the easiest grader of them all by far. Take her because it will make the workload a lot more manageable and give a grading cushion. The only thing that really sucks is the investigative report but just bs it and the sources. Field specific presentation also blows but the rest isn't bad. It's a useless class thoughRate My Professors ↗

Grades very easily. Always willing to help. In my opinion, pretty unorganized. Instructions for Portfolio assignments were scattered all over Canvas in different parts. Makes awkward laughs a lot which bugs me lol.Rate My Professors ↗

GB300 isn't the thought provoking class, but Frances is great. Seemingly grades on the more lenient side, tries to make the class more interesting, and definitely cares about her students. Take GB300 with Frances!Rate My Professors ↗

Do yourself a favor and take Frances for GB300. She is the easiest grader and is just overall a good person.Rate My Professors ↗

GB300 as a class is just a lot of busy work but Laskey is one of the best profs for it. She is pretty funny and makes the class somewhat entertaining. She's a really easy grader compared to the other profs and she cares about and is very personable with her students. Does take a while to grade things but that didn't really bug meRate My Professors ↗
