Reviews of professor Laura Phipps

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You must attend this class, group discussions and activities are done often for grades. Quizzes and exams are easy as long as you take solid lecture notes and review the textbook, most questions come from the lectures. Overall a great professor, very easy to talk to and always willing to help.

Dr. Phipps's lectures revolve around classroom engagement/participation. She is interactive with the class and will call on students.  If you are looking for a class where you can get by on a whim and not participate, this professor will be a wake-up call. Studying and participating is the BARE minimum.. The coursework is not rigorous.

Lots of reading and writing assignments. Heavy of analysis assignments and required attendance for each class meeting. She gets off topic a lot and seems to be all over the place. Good professor but tends to interrupt students in class discussions. Overall an good professor. Do all the assignments and go to all the class meetings.

Professor Phipps provides clear guidelines and examples of all major projects. Regular due dates/ check ins are built into the semester so that the final semester project is just putting all the pieces together. Lots of participation points via in class activities. Very accessible and will meet with you/ your group to discuss edits.

Dr. Phipps talks SOOOOOOOOOOO SO SO SOS OS SO SOSOS OOOOOOO SOOOO much. She hands out paperwork for in class activities and then wants us to take a picture and upload it to canvus. Why not just upload a docx to canvas? No one does paperwork anymore nowaways. She literally talks so much I would watch netflix in class.
