Reviews of professor Betty Patch

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
very very sweet lady who might take a little while to warm up to. always gets you involved so participation is not hard to accomplish. lets you rewrite your essays to bring them up and gives some opportunities for extra credit! really helped me make friends in class because of how engaged we were with each other

Prof Patch is a super nice old lady who cares a lot about her students and the subject. She creates a great community in the classroom, so you'll be friendly with everyone by the end. All the work comes from the reading, a bunch of easy 1 pg journals and longer essays, don't expect her to explain the grade you receive on papers. Allows rewrites tho

As long as you show up and participate each day in class you'll get an A. Sometimes she can be a little unclear with her instructions, but asking clarification questions never hurts. Tough grader on essays, but they don't seem to factor into your final grade as much as you think. Also there's essentially no reading or hw.

Excellent caring professor who will help you succeed if you can ask. Write the essays that directly addresses the rubric.

She is so nice and cares a lot about what she teaches. 1 page "journal" basically every week, but very easy to write. Only three real essays, only 3 pages each. She grades written work sort of harshly, but group projects and presentations make your grade higher. Grade will be high no matter what you may think mid-semester! Make sure to participate!

Seems caring and sweet but she grades like quite the opposite. honestly way too hard of a class for a required freshmen year seminar and not worth the easy-work load for a grade that is based off of two essays (that you can do rewrites on but doesn't matter bc she won't up your grade), a few homework assignments, and one presentation

The other reviews are spot on. There is a lot of writing required for this course, althought usually a max of 2 pages. Do the reading so you can contribute in class. Go visit in her office once or twice a semester and you'll realize how relatable she really is. Don't sweat the workload in this class, just get it done and you'll get the A.

Professor Patch is such a joy! She is really caring and wants to know you outside of class so definitely join her for office hours. She is not a super tough grader for essays and she allows rewrites! Participation in class is not really required in her specific ACS class to be successful. Just make sure to participate 3+ times on midterm/finals.

she is such a tough grader and I found it impossible to get an a. you need to participate 4+ times on the midterms and finals. she does cancel class sometimes which is nice but she is such a tough grader.
