Reviews of professor Nichole Boutte-Heiniluoma

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took her 4-week class and it's A LOT of work. The work itself is pretty easy but it's hard to manage an outside life, so I don't recommend taking this class unless you'll give it your all. It's mostly writing, a few essays, and discussions every week. The final was 6-7 pages. She's really nice, answers back quickly, and gives extra credit.

Took the mini session. Soooooo much work. Each assignment was a 1-3 page essay. The final was 6 pages! She doesnt reply to emails in a timely manner, if at all. She provides extra credit assignments but with the regular workload, you wont have time to do it. All the work wont be in vain though, you will learn a lot!

Dr. B was very informative from the beginning. She is very clear of her expectations, and she helps those who want to help themselves. In other words you have to want it bad enough. There is a lot of work, but you can pass if you do the work. Very responsive with emailing. Dr. B was amazing. I am very grateful to have taken her class.

Dr.B clearly set out her expectations and they were easy to follow. Took this class as a winter miniMester- assignments were either essays or discussion posts. Never have to complete the reading; I just skimmed what was necessary for the essays. Final is a research paper topic of your choice. I worked ahead & finished in 2 weeks. Easy grader.

Took the instructor in a mini class. There was a lot of work but she also was available via email/phone for discussions when necessary. We were given opportunities to make up missed work and extra credit was given also. We read and wrote a lot but it was doable.

Shes a hard grader and theres a lot of writing in this class but she does offer extra credit. I took her online class and she was even able to work with me on one occasion for a late submission.

Currently taking this course as a mini winter session and I cannot stress how much time and focus this class really requires. It is very paper heavy with at least a 2-3 page paper due each week on top of discussion posts and other assignments. The good thing about this course though is that you really learn. Final paper is 7 pages long.
