Genuinely, Dr. Frank is the best professor I've ever had. Her lectures make me excited to go to an 8 am. I feel like I've learned so much!! She cares so much about her students and will do her best to make everyone understand the course material. This class is NOT politicized. We don't know her personal beliefs because she shares objective facts.

I've never been excited to get up and go to an 8 a.m. lecture all the way across campus. For this class, I am. I love Frankie and her informational lectures that cover pertinent topics, and I love how she makes each lecture feel super interesting and fun. I'm going to be taking more classes with her, for sure.

Frankie is my favorite professor! She makes class fun, she listens and she is available when needed. She is honest and direct. On day one, she lays out her expectations and those who read the syllabus succeed in her class. Frankie makes learning fun and she truly cares about her students in a way I have never experienced. Frankie for Pres!
