I have taken 4 classes in one semester and this online class is more work than all of them combined she seems like a decent person but her teaching skills could use some work all she does is make you read an online book and write essays and take a quiz on it. do not recommend.

lots of group work which can be rough if your group is trash, but it's not unbearable. the teacher is kind and caring, and if you need help she will always meet and talk with you. if you work hard you will get a good grade simple as that. one of the best professors I've ever had

Kris is a great in person teacher and is very knowledgable. That being said her online may be one of the worst classes I have taken online. The amount of work and the repetition of question is horrible. Her one class online is more work then my other 3 I have online. It is just totally different then in class because she is great.

Doesn't teach. Racina is purely a "read textbook" and then write multiple essays per week. She is nothing more than a grader. Google is a better teacher. In fact, she relegates the teaching to other the students. The only expounding upon the topics that occurs is by the online discussion assignments that the students post and comment on.

Ms. Racina's blackboard assignments can be a bit disorganized. This class has weekly group work, requiring you to work as a team, not individually. I'd recommend developing a good working relationship w/ your teammates, as this will make the workload more manageable. We utilized text-messaging and google docs, and maintained weekly communication.

Absolutely no breaks with Kris. She has built a very confusing schedule and it is hard to understand the due dates and requirements. Information is lazily displayed in one link, or other, or other. There is only one way to get to information within this course.... search the 25 tabs on the Blackboard course page. Expect to work with/rely on others.

The only new thing I've learned from this class is that I do not want to take another class with Kris. Way too many group projects for an online class. No valuable experience is gained through online group work. Blackboard is disorganized and information is poorly written making it hard to decipher what she expects of you. I do not recommend.
