Reviews of professor Abbey Stockstill

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I really enjoy her teaching style. There were no tests or quizzes, there were 3 papers over the semester and if you follow the rubric and grading criteria you will do well. Almost every Monday, there is a discussion board post that relates to a reading that is due. Discussion board post is short and easy.

This class is graded by a few things, I took the ARHS 3365 course and it wasn't too bad, we had a presentation and then a paper over the presentation which was a bit confusing. The professor wasn't too accessible outside of class, and the readings are pretty heavy and there is a discussion board every week.

Do not listen to the bad ratings for this Prof. Stockstill. She is the best professor at SMU hands down. If you can take her class, please take her.

She graciously accepted my extra credit that I turned in late on accident. Everything is open note for quizzes/tests so take this class with a friend or two and alternate going to class and work together. Not a difficult class, make an effort to go to class occasionally; that is prob why she accepted my late work, because she knew my face.

Her lectures were super interesting and easy to take notes off of. She does not post her lectures online, so if you miss class you actually miss out on a lot info. That is detrimental to tests, which require your notes and have picture ID. Overall though the subject was amazing and she taught it super well.

Stockstill's Medieval Spain class was the most interesting one I've taken at SMU. She is so passionate and knowledgeable about it, and she always pushed us to dig deeper and make realizations about what the images we viewed meant. Grading wasn't strict, workload three short papers and 2 hrs reading per week. Great prof, great class.

I took this class because I needed an easy general credit. This is supposed to be an intro class but it was by far the hardest class I took at SMU. Your grade is only based on a midterm and a final and everyone completed bombed the midterm and she did not curve it at all. I spent 20 hours studying for the final just so I wouldn't fail the class.

I have no clue why this teacher has such a low rating. She is AMAZING! Her grading guidelines are clear and she gives out great study guides. She recommends people to read, but its not necessary to do well. Just take good notes. She really knows what she is talking about. Not a hard class. It's a gem

Abbet Stockstill is hands down the worst professor I've had in my entire academic career. I decided to take her class even after seeing her rate my professor because I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. This class is absolutely horrendous. Her recent midterm average was below a 70%. Do not take this class unless you literally want to fail
