Loved this class and professor, grading criteria was very clear and made it easy to succeed. So long as you do the reading assignments, which are manageable, and show up to class then you will get an A. Participation in this class is also valued. I would take another one of her classes in a heartbeat! She is a wonderful person and teacher!!Rate My Professors ↗
Two lectures per week, one reading before each lecture, one "quiz" per week (based on lecture/reading content from week before), 2 blue book exams. I really liked her for the class "God & Money." I found her lectures very straightforward and easy to follow, and would gladly take a class with her again.Rate My Professors ↗
This professor was occasionally funny and seemed to care about students' well being. However, exams lacked clear grading criteria and expectations were not clearly outlined, which made grading feel frustrating despite manageable content. The readings were lengthy, and class discussions sometimes felt less comfortable due to frequent interruptions.Rate My Professors ↗
