Overall you learn very little in this class. Her goal is to make you use critical thinking to answer questions, but in the end her teaching style means that you don't end up learning much about ethics. Her office hours are very helpful, but she tends to tear apart the people who ask questions. The class also has a harsh curve.Rate My Professors ↗
She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the stuff she teaches. You'll get a good grade if you go to all the classes and work hard on the writing assignments. Reading her feedback and talking with her helped me improve my grade a lot.Rate My Professors ↗
Lindsay is great! Some readings were a bit hard but her lectures made them understandable. Discussions were open and stimulating. She never shot anybody down.Rate My Professors ↗
