Cons: Students that do not want to learn in her class are really missing out. No cons this teacher really pushes you.
I recommend anyone who wants to learn to write better to take this teacher. She gives a lot of help and support to all students.
Her random outbursts of words or phrases always seems to keep you on your toes though.
"Vegas is fun!" in the middle of a discussion about carpenters.
She also went up to one of my classmates and started stroking her headband out of nowhere, completely scarring the girl for life.
I joined this women in america class mainly because i though it would be a fun male-bashing experience. I am experiencing none of this though, and afraid I might go crazy before the end of this semester.
Her directions are confusing at best, and if you tell her that you don't understand she throws a hissy fit and refuses to explain it to you. She would leave comments on my paper like "you're such a good writer" then give me a 2.3 with little explanation.
I can only say to avoid this teacher as much as possible. It ends up being one of those classes that you just dread going to because you don't know what's going to happen today.
She did yell at our class a lot. There was one project where she said all we did was waste time in class, but it was really her wasteing time because all she did was yell at us why our papers sucked. She did this for about 4 days straight.
For our final project we had to work at the writing center at Bessey, which closes at 5 and is not open on weekends. She did not understand why people couldnt work on the project while the WC was open... Hmmm... well because maybe we were in class until 5? She just doesnt understand.
I strongly urge anyone to not take a class with her. I was always angry after i left this class because she was just so crazy. Also, do not take this class unless you want to farm. Seriously this was a writing class and we spent more time working on the student organic farm than writing papers! We had two major papers and a group project. And if you do not know how to use a mac then i feel bad for you because she will get angry with you.
this woman is nuts.
***REASONS NOT TO HAVE HER***
She is unclear about 90% of assignments she hands out. You never really know what she wants out of you. Most of the assignments are NOT writing related; you ont learn to become a better writer. The only things that could be considered writing are the papers you write (3 in total), but again, she is unclear about what she wants. The only time she is clear is when you write your last paper, a research topic of your choice (from organic food, of course...). And the thing is, she made our class her personal bitch and had us write about what SHE wanted to hear, NOT OUR OWN IDEAS. The only reason one would write any paper in this class is to get the grade. Speaking of grades, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR GRADE IS. You get grades for your first two papers...not any of the class assignments, not the research paper, not participation, NOTHING. Lastly, she doesnt respect you at all: if your talking to her, she'll talk over you. If you voice your opinion (which she claims she wants), she gets pissed. She yells about the littlest things.
I have 20 other people who would agree with me on this, but i dont think they are allmsu.com users.
IF YOU WANT TO BE A ORGANIC FARMER, OR ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE, TAKE THIS CLASS.
