Reviews of professor Alecea Standlee

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Standlee is literally the most wonderful and kind professor I have had during my time at Gettysburg. I took two classes with her, and I wish more than anything that I could have taken more. She cares deeply about her students and will do anything to support them. Her lectures are very clear, and so are her assignment guidelines.

She truly wants her students to succeed. Class is very discussion heavy but you don't need to be an expert in the topics to speak once or twice a class. Reading notes due every week but are very easy to complete for full credit. All exams are at home essay exams and there are 3 short papers that are easy to do based on the books you read.

Loved Standlee! One of the nicest professors I have ever met. Class was super easy. Minimal work (3 book papers, a midterm and a final, and offers a ton of extra credit). The content was very interesting and Standlee made it really easy to understand. She is a "raging liberal from south Idaho," but never made anyone uncomfortable! Def recommend!

She is a fair grader but does not take into consideration any different opinions than her ideology; even when citing excellent sources. For the record, I got an A but anytime I argued with a source I was shut down in the discussions with mostly opinion, not all facts. I learned a lot, I earned my A but I had to tread careful & drink kool aid.

Professor Standlee is the best! In Class lecture, she talks in-depth about her Powerpoint slides. In Sociology 101 she assigns three papers on books that are discussed in class, and she gives a takehome midterm to complete over a week's time. Standlee is very caring and helpful. If you listen and take notes you'll do great! Class is an easy A.
