Reviews of professor Patricia Outhouse

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very nice Professor. She knows her stuff. Was not present through much of the on-line course. SO MUCH WORK! However, she is a fair grader and I ended up with an A BUT, I worked realllly hard. Hand in your assignment on-time and you will do well.

Lot's of reading and lot's of writing. Minimum 600 word paper due every week, plus discussion boards in which substantial feedback/comments to other students is expected. No quiz's or exams. Timely feedback is provided. Assignment requirements are clear.

Patricia Outhouse gives good and timely feedback. She is a very hard grader and wont give you an A even if you address all questions in assignment outline, she wants substantial discussions posts and responses that have to be very specific. Pay attention to odd due dates and narrow windows for discussion participation. No tests, lots of writing.

Her grading seems to be arbitrary. No matter to depth, or quality of the material written about, grades rarely exceed low 90's. As an experiment, I've done the bare minimum, and high quality in depth reports and discussion posts. No matter what I do, grades remain in the low 90's. No other instructor at ESC has these reproducible results.
