Reviews of professor Elizabeth Ben Ward

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She grades by using points you have to add yourself??, so its hard to tell your grade while youre in the class. All over the place most of the time. Random tangents, never a focused lecture and cancels class a lot. Means well, she helps you out when you ask but outside of class she is MIA. Literally just take another professor ...

She will cancel on office hours constantly. Not show up to class. Expect you to learn to yourself. Her tests do not match her study guides whatsoever. SHE IS AWFUL DO NOT TAKE HER.

Super unorganized, cancel class at the last minute, did not prepare us for the tests and her lectures were much harder than they needed to be. Makes everything more complicated. The grading system is awful and you do not know your grade until everything is completed.

She is so disorganized, makes many mistakes on tests, and does a terrible job at explaining the material. I had to teach myself throughout the entire course, and her tests are difficult. She is always late to class and has cancelled class last minute NUMEROUS times.

Dr. Ward is nice, but the way she would explain things was often not related to our homework or test material, she lectures around subjects and tells examples but runs out of time to show you how to actually apply it to problems in the homework. If you're a quick learner/have the time to teach yourself like me you'll be fine, otherwise don't take.

Do not take her. She is so disorganized, often late to class, hard grader. We would use up an entire class period going over one problem that would end up unsolved because she couldn't even figure it out herself. She was a mess and so not helpful, She never answered emails/texts and was not a good professor in general.

Her teaching method is sort of disorganized and the gradebook set up is really strange but she is good at explaining things. The homework and reading quizzes are online. The exams are way harder than the homework, but you can still do okay as long as you go to lectures and read the book.

Dear brethren and sistren of James Madison University. I have climbed the hills of East, treacherously crossed the I-81 bridge, traversed the jungles of Village, and burrowed through the mounds of Hillside, all the way to the never-ending Dunkin line. Please listen, as I have risked my life to tell you with great concern. "Don't take this class"

Ben is the worst professor I have ever had, and I have studied at two different universities. I have never met someone as unprofessional and disorganized, and she is impossible to reach outside of class. Always wants to "try new things" but never actually knows how to do them. Can't see your grade in the class and lectures are so hard to follow.

Genuinely the worst professor I have ever had. She did not know how to teach. Please avoid.
