She goes way beyond the call of duty. She is smart and makes you examine both sides of the coin. She is very empathetic and active in what she does. I took three classes of hers because I would always do well, but it wasn't just that. I looked forward to her classes and was excited to learn. She is part of the reason why I am an English major and want to be a teacher.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review43400/She-makes-me-want-to-be-an-English-teacher#commentssmartempatheticand active2006-01-18T18:42:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review43400/She-makes-me-want-to-be-an-English-teacherhttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review42755/Horrible-InstructorHis class was pointless.

She gives lots of extra credit - points for writing problems on the board that other people don't understand, extra test questions, etc.! She is a really helpful, interesting lecturer and I enjoyed being in this class. The tests and quizzes are easy. She gives a review sheet out for you to study and goes over the material really well. She's always there in her office for questions and is really approachable if you are having problems.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22396/Great-course#comments2003-01-10T16:38:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22396/Great-coursehttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22395/A-super-awesome-teacherJen is a really great teacher! Your grade is determined by your tests and quiz scores. There are no points given for attendance or homework. Homework is not collected but the quizzes are based solely from the homework and once we had an open notes quiz and if you did your homework for that day then all you had to do was copy the problem from your homework onto your quiz paper. She is really helpful and intelligent. I really enjoyed taking her class and would jump at an instant to take another class that she teaches! She is really organized and gives a comprehensive review for the tests so it is really impossible to do bad in her class. I highly recommend her!noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22395/A-super-awesome-teacher#comments2003-01-10T16:33:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22395/A-super-awesome-teacherhttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22394/Great-classMr. Hitchman is a really good teacher. His lectures are interesting and there is no homework or papers in this class! Your grade is determined by your four test scores. The tests are 50 points with 25 objective questions and 25 points for an essay topic. He gives a really good review sheet with possible essay questions. Come to class every session and take notes, listen and read your chapters and you will do well. He's a really smart guy who has been to many places like most recently Italy and has many useful things to say. I really enjoyed his class and highly recommend him.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22394/Great-class#comments2003-01-10T16:26:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review22394/Great-classhttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review18246/A-really-mean-bully-prison-guard-mentalityThe A rating is too good to be true. I had this teacher and that commentary sounds just like something she would say about herself. She was really mean and bullish. She sarcastically chided people who asked questions. She also made it clear that she was part of an environmental team outside of school that was always on the lookout to fine people for infractions. I saw her one day with her binoculars on the lookout. She even threatened to punish the entire class if one person walked in late for class. She also kept these notecards in a collection that she said she studied which contained bios of all of her past and present students. She mocked some of their answers - like older students and how she was younger than some of the students. She was more like a prison guard than a teacher.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review18246/A-really-mean-bully-prison-guard-mentality#comments2002-08-17T00:45:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review18246/A-really-mean-bully-prison-guard-mentalityhttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review15003/The-GREATEST-history-teacher-a-student-could-EVER-haveAfter returning to school after 20+ years, working my way through classes geared towards my AA in General Ed. I was advised to take ANY of his classes, I took History 7B. Let me tell you, his enthusiasm for the subject is evident in his 'stories' beyond what the books will tell you. When he would close the class, it was truly one of those, "time flies when you're having a good time" kinda feelings. He keeps you interested, he makes you want to learn more, he also couldn't be more knowledgable, he might disagree with that, but he is THE BEST history teacher. I thank you Mr. Wilson for opening me up to history.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review15003/The-GREATEST-history-teacher-a-student-could-EVER-have#comments2002-03-13T15:52:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review15003/The-GREATEST-history-teacher-a-student-could-EVER-havehttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12972/Enthused-historianJudd has a great personality and has a sense of humor.

The classes are dense and last up till the last minute. He covers every single aspect of the topic. Tests are challenging. Concrete, varied examples. You really must study to get a good grade, but it's possible. I dropped the ball after the first few tests of getting high scores. He is a good teacher, and has a sense of humor too. You must do all of the homework assignments on all of the homework and go to math lab to get help if you need it, and wait in line at office hours around test time.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12971/Thorough-meticulous-teaching#comments2001-12-01T00:12:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12971/Thorough-meticulous-teachinghttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12970/Not-too-strenuous-but-do-your-workIf you do the homework and read, you should be able to get a good grade.

This is an excellent fine arts photography class. Peluso is knowledgeable and detailed. She's very polite and nice, but I wish she was more supportive and encouraging. She expresses subtle opinion when sometimes you just want to know if you did a good job or not.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12969/Great-learning-experience#comments2001-12-01T00:00:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12969/Great-learning-experiencehttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12968/Patient-and-helpfulJohnson teaches you how to write an effective paper.

She is polite and helpful to everyone and teaches practical skills and helpful tips. She teaches you how to stretch and be comfortable and healthy while working in front of a computer and encourages you to take frequent stretch/relaxation breaks for your muscles and eyes. The work stations are adjustable to the preferences of the person, which makes it a lot more comfortable to be in.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12967/Super-nice-helpful-instructor#comments2001-11-30T23:42:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12967/Super-nice-helpful-instructorhttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12966/Somewhat-difficult-and-challengingHartwig is a relatively difficult instructor to receive an A from. Maybe because DJing isn't my area and I'd never had to work on my voice like that before, over and over and hours on end in lab, but I couldn't really get above a B with what i recorded. Putting in a lot of effort is no guarantee you will have an excellent grade or that you have talent.

You will have to keep your attention up because she is a soft talker. She is nice, and interested in her topic.

I would recommend this class to learn various mediums for drawing. She has varied, interesting ideas for students to explore that take you beyond what you learn in beginning drawing.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12963/A-challenge-for-your-creativity#comments2001-11-30T22:48:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12963/A-challenge-for-your-creativityhttp://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12962/An-effective-capable-drawing-instructorNausha had great handwriting, speaking skills, and art projects and sketchbook assignments.

She writes notes, taken from her head rather than lecture notes, all over the board in incomplete sentences and then erases and adds while you're taking notes, so that it is very confusing. She uses her personal practice clients and students as examples when talking about topics in psychology. I don't know how professional that is, since those individuals did not consent to be case studies.noemail@coursereviews.com (Anonymous Student)http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12961/Unorganized-unmotivating-and-flaky-instructor#comments2001-11-30T22:27:00-05:00http://www.CourseReviews.com/u214/review12961/Unorganized-unmotivating-and-flaky-instructor
