Reviews of professor Charlotte Samuels

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A professor that is very passionate about Political Science, Mrs. Samuels is witty and funny in class while also being dedicated to the integrity of her lectures and the abilities of her students. She will accommodate time outside class for study sessions or questions. She strives to encourage and inform students at all times. A very solid choice!

Yikes. She was probably the worst teacher I had at Fullerton. Came to class late and unprepared. The only way to learn is to read and teach yourself. Tests questions do not follow her lectures. She contradicts her own syllabus and does not provide any rubrics so she will grade based on her own opinion. Avoid at all costs.

AMAZING. She absolutely cares about her students and wants them to succeed! She makes political science very interesting and easy to understand. For my online class she uploaded the textbook so I didnt have to $100, did have to pay a $6 but thats nothing! HIGHLY recommend to any and all students !!!

1x/wk class: 5 short in-class grp activities, (3) 1-pg essays (be specific), easy participation pts, 2 exams (1 w/essay) & final (graded 1 hr later). Student tutor avail. 2 free textbooks & 1 mini book to buy. SGs, 20 pts EC & note outlines given. Time flies as her fun lectures (via outlines-- not book reading) show how the system REALLY works :)

She is a very clear professor, I really enjoyed the reading material and lectures. I liked her clear feedback and grading material. You need to do all of her assignments, and exams are directly based off lectures. This is a great professor and pretty much an easy A if you are on top of your work. HIGHLY recommend for anyone.

Professor Samuels is passionate about Political Science and wants her students to end the semester sharing in that passion. While this means some topics can be rushed through during lectures that's only because the lectures are given with the expectation that you've read the chapters being discussed. Lectures aren't meant to inform, but to clarify.

DO NOT take this professor. She bases all your grades off the exams and ONLY exams. Theres probably three side assignments that arent exams. She talks very fast and sometimes doesnt know what shes teaching. She comes to class unorganized and unprofessional. Save yourself from a W. Half of things she teaches isnt even related to the class.

It was a hybrid class so it was difficult for me to keep track so I got a C. The tests are pretty difficult, lots of examples and hypothetical questions. I would have preferred to have an ever week class, it would have been much easier. She is a good professor though as long as you stay on top of your stuff and study.
