Reviews of professor Andrea Reams

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Avoid her at all costs! Although this is a 100 level class it 's expected to be your top priority. Missed 2 classes to see my cardiologist and it brought my grade down a whole letter grade. Rubrics are not provided for projects and papers. On top of this she wasn't engaging read from her slides and didn't seem to know what she was talking about .

Andrea clearly does not care about students learning, and grades extremely tough even though her rubrics are incredibly vague. She is rude and contradicts herself all the time. Take this class in the summer because that is the only time she does not teach it.

Attendance is counted towards your grade. The lectures are a bit hard to follow as she goes really fast but you can easily succeed in the class by doing the readings and having good attendance. A bit hard to contact outside of class, response rate is a bit slower than expected but not the worst.

If you have the option to not take a course with this instructor then do it. She is rude, condescending, unfair, hard to reach, know it all, unapproachable, and an AWFUL teacher. I learned nothing from her, did everything on my own because she is no help and grades so hard on the stupidest stuff. I hope she retires soon, do us all a favor!

Doesn't seem to know what she is doing. Had more guest speakers than classes where she talked. Very oblivious to everything going on and nearly impossible to contact outside of class.

Professor Reams is the worst professor I have had at Western. I get mostly A's and occasional B+ and I got a C out of this class! I read the book, took notes, went to class and still got a horrible grade. She doesn't help her students to be successful. She goes way to fast during her lectures, you can't keep up even if you take notes before class.

Lectures are too fast (even for people using her outline PowerPoint). If you miss a day where she takes attendance it will drop your grade.

You can obviously tell she worked with elementary school kids before becoming a professor. She talks to her students like children and doesn't take questions about assignments seriously. Also doesn't know what she is talking about in regards to public health. Avoid this class.
