Marcia James
University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
Department:
Business
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
She gets a D- for subjective test and quiz questions. Basically it does not matter how much you study because her questions are relative to her opinion rather than the facts. She should just use the test from the text book. Some of the dumbest people I know get A's on her exams while some of the smartest get C's. Your grade on the tests will depend on how lucky you are minus how close the grade of the luckiest guesser is to 100.
Positive:
Shows a love of teaching
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Comes to class organized
Negative:
Is a bad professor
Would not recommend this professor
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Overly difficult tests or assignments
Her lectures are often unclear and many times confusing. I remembered one class period we had one of the weekly quizes and no one knew about it. She preaches to give constructive criticism, yet publicly denounces students that make mistakes, no matter how small. She likes to believe her class is one of the most important ones in the school of business, but in reality this class emphasizes the little things that are important and is not worth this much time studying them.
Positive:

Worst professors I've ever had!
Personally I really enjoyed her. She let you know exactly what she expected. There were 10 pt quizzes but she reviewed in class before them. Midterm and a final both curved, which was great! I definately recommend her :)

Negative:
She can be very nice, but her tests, assignments, etc. are way way too tough. Not too mention she will never admit that she is wrong. Even if she is wrong, she's still right. She likes to make fun of students as well, so be warned. I managed a good grade, but only after some amazing curves. Oh, and btw, a 92 is a B, 69 is an F, etc or something close to that. Good luck if you take her, you will need it, but with enough work and luck, you can get a very good grade.
