Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
She is always late. Very boring classes, strays off on tangents often. She doesn't always clearly explain assignments. This is one of the few classes I have had difficulties forcing myself to show up to since it seemed absolutely pointless to attending class (although attendance is required). I seem to always find that the teachers that require attendance are the ones that know their time is boring/or meaningless enough that most would skip otherwise.
As with past comments, professor is constantly late for class. She does teach like we are children and this gets very old. I spend more energy trying to stay awake in class than actually focusing on what we are doing. Our lesson plans are due soon and I have no idea what to do. I would be nice if she would give more of a template on the assignment than just showing past students lessons. At least you can re-do them if you want. I just want this class to be over because I am constantly bored. Professor seems nice, but it's tough to be in her class when we are future teachers and she can't even show up on time and lacks organization.
Positive:
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Negative:
Professor is boring or bland
Expectations are unclear or lofty
She is the worst professor I have ever had and I have had some pretty bad ones. Maybe it is because she is doing it online this semester, but she has no clue about technology. Her quizzes are not open when she says they will be and she does not put things up correctly so she will delete it and nobody will get to see it. She is never in her office for office hours and talks to us through d2l like we are stupid.
Positive:
Is challenging
Negative:
Would not recommend this professor
Confusing or hard to understand
Expectations are unclear or lofty
Worst professors I've ever had!
Whoever above said that there wasn't enough time to do assingments is completely whacked out!!! You could basically hand things in whenever you wanted to she really didn't care. The reading journal entries become a little "bland" after a while, but she is always willing to "look" over any assignment ahead of time and give you feedback to correct/improve before you hand a "final" version in. Plus she basically walks you through everything and shows you LOTS of examples instead of just "throwing" an assignment at you like some other professors have been known to do. I highly recommend TB!!! :-)

Negative:
This was a very simple class. The assignment expectations are made clear andplenty of time is given to complete them. HOWEVER, she sets the entire course up as if we (the college students) are actually first or second graders. It gets very old listening to someone baby talk you for an entire semester. Easy class - but you dont get much out of it...
