Reviews of professor Layne McDaniel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Most disorganized class, she canceled class so many times but didn't know how to work Zoom. The work is easy but the class is so hard to navigate because she doesn't know how to make assignments. Gave me a 0 on the final paper with no feedback. How do you expect me to know what to write when you cancel the last two weeks of class before it's due.

This class was quite a disaster for me. 30% exam 1, 30% discussion posts, and 40% exam 2. That's all the grades. And on the discussion posts she will not give you a 100%, highest I ever got was 96%. If all quizzes and assignments were for a grade, I would have gotten an A, but they weren't. Do not recommend this class.

she doesn't know how to make tests and/or material for her classes. half the questions on her quizzes make no sense and the other half are full of spelling errors.

Super easy, but she canceled class more than she had it. I think we met in person less than 10 times throughout the semester

This was the worst professor I have ever had. I did hours and hours of quizzes and discussion forums all for it to not be counted. She didn't even teach she just gave us readings upon readings and expected us to learn from them. I learned nothing in this class and the final was BS. Do not take her classes. You've been warned.

I had her completely online so I never actually met her. She just posted the work online and we would do it. She gave us good readings and the PowerPoint was helpful. She made her assignments clear and easy to understand. They were also pretty easy. The only complaint I have is she canceled her office hours a lot.

Could possibly be one of the worst professors I have ever had. 1. she doesn't even know how to apply her deadlines for assignments correctly. 2. very bad at giving instructions. 3. gives out a lot of reading assignments and her lectures for it would not make any sense. 4. doesn't even know how to work Zoom correctly. 5. a lot of grammatical errors

A 100% online course where professor cancelled office hours every week. Refuses to give 100 - always a 99, but never provides feedback. Would not take again.

The class itself is so disorganized, I'd have an easier time trying to find a specific piece of hay in a haystack.  Her lectures are infuriating. The slides resemble a 5th graders homework. I'm not even sure if she knows what's on them half the time. I'd only recommend if you're okay with a prof who clearly doesn't care about you or her job.

Everyone is hating on the professor but I never had a bad experience. I took HIS1200 online and it was incredibly easy. A quiz every week after reading the slides and 2 or 3 big tests. If you read you'll pass. Can't say anything about the in-person class though. If you have to take this professor, it will be ok.
