LOVE HER! Seriously such a genuinely kind woman who cares so much about her students. The class is so organized and the schedule for the entire semester is up on Canvas so you always know when things are due and coming up. She does a great job making the class interesting and engaging. 1000% recommend taking her!

Took her for HS 212 and again for HS 300 and absolutely love her. HS 300 is a research methods class, basically a big term paper, so it's not easy and there's a ton of research and writing but she makes it organized and is so helpful. She genuinely wants us to do well and cares about her student so much. I'd sign up for any class of hers.

I had McAndrew for a linked pair and she would consistently go against what her and the other professor had agreed upon before the semester. Had very poor communication with not only the other professor but the students as well. overall a bad experience because if you did poor on one assignment and your grade tanked she provided very little help.

Her class is very confusing. You have to teach yourself everything and she expects you to be and expert on the topics. Her grading criteria is unclear and she takes off points for little things. Overall, it's and easy A but be prepared for A LOT of busy work.

She doesn't teach. You have to teach yourself everything before class, and you're expected to be an expert on it for in-class lectures and quizzes.

Dr. McAndrews is literally one of the most caring professors at JCU. In the class you read one chapter of textbook a week. I think the discussions of the chapters were very helpful as well as practicing exam questions/essay prompts in class.
