Reviews of professor Bettina Spreng

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She has major issues that taking a class with her may make a person either drop the course or forget about taking any linguistics course any more. Sorry for the U of S for having a person like her on board. I heard a lot of bad thing about her, but did not believe until I took a course with her.

This was a hybrid course and it totally sucked. It was really confusing and the TA and her felt like they didn't communicate and often didn't reply to emails or would reply too late. Her final exam was 7 questions but it was basically a long assignment impossible to do good on. Good luck in class if you go, hard to understand and boring.

Bettina was an excellent prof for online classes. There were, however, lots of small assignments every week - if you do them they are very helpful on the exam. She doesn't just hand out grades, but hard work pays off. She gives class time to practice the material and was very accommodating in terms of the work load.

Her exams were totally confusing and full of mistakes. She also did not uss the class time efficiently to teach. It was a bad experience. She was not also well- prepared and not interested. I never recommend her.

You could tell that this wasn't her area of expertise but there was no one else to teach the class so she had too. Many questions that the students asked through out the course she didn't know the answer to and made no attempt to find the answer and get back to us. She also knew surprisingly little about kids for a class about child development
