Reviews of professor Karen Draves

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I have nothing learning from HER because all materials are ready on-line. However, her aspect is really narrowed. It seems she didn't like what I did all the time. I advise to not have your opinion, copy textbook and have the same story difference word all answers.

Took the 5 week asynch class this summer and it was fairly simple. As long as you complete the discussion posts on time you will get 100s & test answers are in the textbook/online. She is available for communication and is very straightforward in her criteria. There is one research paper which was an easy A as long as you follow the rubric.

The projects, assignments, and tests are extremely tedious and require A LOT of time. Be prepared to sit for hours reading over the textbook materials and the PowerPoints that offer little to no help on anything. The testing is okay, but only if you have done the hours of studying. It is a summer class, yes, but just expect a huge load of work.

I took this course as an elective to help my GPA in the summer. There are 4 exams, each one slightly harder then the previous one. weekly posting of two questions from the textbook and replying to another two students weekly. Final paper required, she offers an additional 5 points added to your final grade for visiting the writing center. Easy A.

This professor less explanation and narrowed expectations. Also, she is picky. Even though research paper is cited from textbooks and web-site and concluded, she decided it as a personal opinion that caused deductive points. I felt unfair during taking her class. I don't take her class any ever again.

Draves belongs in an Elementary classroom and not teaching a college course. We frequently had difficult pop quizzes along with boring readings each class. In addition, her teaching demonstrations were horrible and she expected the class to emulate her. However, her standards were too high and was never clear on what expectations she had for us.

Her class had only one big assignment (research paper) and the rest was mainly discussion/quizzes over the chapters in the book. She was available for communication.

Took this asynch, online, & in summer! Reading textbook is the *only* way to pass tests & participate in discussions. Turn in discussion posts on time & actually try, read chapters as much as possible, & don't procrastinate writing the research paper! Video lectures were *very* slow & mostly unhelpful, maybe she's better in person. Print syllabus!

I took her music 2300 class online as an elective and it was very easy! Their are 4 open book tests, weekly we had to post 2 questions to our discussions board and reply to 2 of our team members, and one assignment a week. Finally, a finals essay! Overall this class was very easy and interesting. Easy A
