Attempts to create discussion throughout the lecture. It's a nice way to break up some of the dryer Supreme Court cases. Only one exam in class, the other two are take home. Great personality and helpfulness if you ask her a question.Rate My Professors ↗
Her lectures were clear and well presented. Despite having a class of over 200 people, she attempted to learn students names.Rate My Professors ↗
I think she's extremely accommodating to students. She really knows her stuff; if she needed to debate an argument presented to her she knows how to counter it with evidence. She could have potentially been a good lawyer, but her lectures aren't too interesting. You don't need the book - just know the Supreme Court cases. Most ppl got a B.Rate My Professors ↗
She's not very engaging, and there are pop quizzes so you have to go. But exams are really fair and actually teach you something, so overall not a bad class.Rate My Professors ↗
She is a disgrace to the standards of Madison's polisci department. Lectures are mind-bogglingly boring and she merely recites SC opinions that were assigned from the textbook. Provides absolutely nothing that can not be found in the text and can make even the most interesting topics inanely dull.Rate My Professors ↗
