Very nice teacher. What she told us was going to be on the final from the terms wasn't really there too much except essay portion, so make you're cheat sheet in you're own way!

If you are interested in this topic, this is such a good class. Prof. Balderas is very understanding and always gives really good feedback. The weekly assignments are always fun and never too difficult. There is a lot of reading every week, but you can work ahead if you want. If you are willing to work for a good grade, you can get it.

Jessica is a fantastic instructor and really wants everyone to do well. She even offers feedback/check-ins through email with each student every few weeks which is really great.

As long as you show up to class and read the textbook (which is an easy read) you'll really enjoy this class. I took this as an 8 a.m. that had mandatory attendance and found that it was easy and fun to attend. She loves people who participate, and I would recommend doing so because it's part of your final grade.

This class is mostly online and only met once a week. She does not take attendance but there is contribution points every class that help your grade. You must do the online book material every week and all tests are online. Copy the book into a word document and just search for words during the test to find the info and you'll get a good grade.

Professor Balderas was one of the most engaged teachers Ive had at KU so far. I took this class in the summer so you got to set your own pace as long as you complete assignments by the due dates. She responds to emails quick and is super nice. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Format and pacing of online class is perfect for the 8-week time frame. All quizzes & tests are open-book and you can retake quizzes until you get the grade you want. Brief writing assignments are due every week & there is an exam every other week. Participate in the discussion forums, take your quizzes & exams and you will pass this course easily.
