Reviews of professor Erin McLaughlin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Be prepared to do lots of reading. The tests seem a bit subjective, as the material is not quantitatitive. Weekly mini papers and mini discussions every other week. Like all Grad classes, put in the work and you will do well. She is a ghost. Grad assistants do much of the grading. They are fair but without detailed interaction.

Follow the rubrics  (A or B). Weekly combination of Exams (4)  50%, Assignments (7) -25% & Discussions (6)-25%. Weekly  Reading (50 pgs), 2 Summary PPTs, 1 Assignment, 1 Discussion/2 Responses, Test every other week. No recordings/videos/zooms. I work FT/Family allocated 10-15 Hr/Wk. I recommend this class & would take the professor again.

Not even sure if this professor exists. Everything graded by coaches. Exams had 3+ chapters at a time on them. Exams difficult and didn't relate to other work. Would not take this professor again.

Really laid back for grad level course. Expectations are clear, and definitely cares about feedback from students regarding material and concerns. No tricks. Read the material, turn in assignments, and you'll be successful.

This class didn't require much: Application assignments every week, mini case discussions every other week as well as with the exams. There are 4 exams throughout the entire course so make sure that you study them thoroughly. I regret not putting much effort into the class because It's honestly an easy A. Professor always gives good feedback.

3 exams-1 every other wk
mini case assignment& current event due weekly. no word count min.
What's RIDICULOUS is that her tests are TRICKY- she KNOWS bc at the beginning of the session,she had already curved all 3 tests! shell say she never intends for q's to be tricky, but thats a lie bc everyone from every semester emails her & says that.

Not an easy class, but very fair.  The professor was responsive and helpful during the one time that I had a problem.  Would take a class with her again.

The discussion board and current event papers were very easy. The exams are terrible! There are 4 total exams (every other week) and they cover 4 chapters of reading each. The questions are oddly specific and purely definitions, not concepts. It is unfortunate that this class such a poor structure because the content is great!!!!
