Reviews of professor Ashley Bales

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
not only worst class I have ever taken but easily the worst professor. Avoid her at all costs. Will bring down your GPA no matter how hard you work. Brags about how every semester students fail her class. extremely tough grader and horrible educator. talks down to you for not having the same level of knowledge as her. Avoid at all costs.

Not horribly difficult to pass her class if you do the work, but she doesn't seem to understand that her class is not the only one we're taking based on the amount of work she gives us. Plus, I've heard through the grapevine she straight up has a blog where she straight up says she hates teaching art students science lmao. Hard class, bad teacher.

I took Anatomy of Motion with Ashley and she is one of my favorite teachers ever. She assigned a lot of work that took too long to do on top of other classes, but I learned more in that class than any other that semester. Ashley came to class prepared and really knows the subject. Lectures were very interesting and informative.

Honestly I don't know why so many grading are so harsh, she's passionate about what she teach and she gives an manageable amount of work, I would totally take her class again.

I don't know why everyone is hating on her so much! She was great this semester and I learned a lot! I didn't feel burdened by homework at all (you don't have to read every single reading, honestly) and as long as you pay attention in class, email her, and take basic notes you should be good to go. She can be a little vague in criteria, though.

Sitting in this class felt like an extension of high school science. Group work at the end of every class felt redundant and useless. For hw expect lots of readings and essay questions week after week. Felt very "baby-ed" the entire semester just because of her teaching techniques.

Her rating is too harsh. The content of the group discussion was too much, even larger than her lecture time. A very bad class and a very bad teacher. If you have the opportunity to see this review, please do not choose her class.

Do not take this class. She is confusing, boring lectures, no one knows what she wants. Very condescending and not worth the stress. If I could go back I would've dropped it.

Wayyyyy too strict and gives an unreasonable amount of homework. Many long boring readings and lectures. She has no compassion for her students and is not understanding

Honestly, it was too tough as an elective class. Too many things to complete in a given time. She's a good person and a lecturer, but it was just her expectation that challenged me beyond that was needed. Expect a lot of reading and homework.
