Reviews of professor Beverly Carlson-Landy

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lots of homework, lots of reading, a major project that is due prior to a lot of the pertinent information in the course is presented. Grades on a weighted system and weighs things very oddly. If you so much as misspell an item on your reference list you will be deducted 35 points on your 60 points total grade. Misinformation throughout course.

Dr. C-L is a great professor. She gives 3 journals, a 1-course project divided into two parts, and 1 major paper throughout the course. A lot of writing and reading will be done. Yellowdig participation is also expected weekly. Overall, there's a lot of work but she also gives tons of extra credit towards the end of the course. I passed with a 103%

Dr. C-L is very warm and does a great job being available and responding to questions. The workload and expectations didn't match the low-level course, way more reading, writing, and testing than any of the upper-division courses I have taken so far. She does offer pop-up extra credit to offset the difficult grading/tests.

In the 4 years I've been at ASU I've never written a professor review. I felt this one needed a review. She is by far one of the pickiest and most unclear graders. The course is laid out in a very unorganized manner leaving you to hunt for information. Unfortunately, your grade is what pays the price for this, despite your best efforts.

This class was ok. Sometimes it felt like people were just using the yellowdig discussions to complain about the world and how unfair it is rather than actual concepts. My dad died in the near beginning of the a session and Dr. C-L just told me to drop rather than help me work around 1 missed assignment. So I had to re-enroll and take it in B sess

As the prompts stated on this site regarding the professors overall grade - she "makes you work for it." Dr. C-L, requires a lot from you. You'll need to do all of the reading and absorb it because you will be tested on that material on the quizzes & tests. She's tough but she's someone you want on your side, so communicate effectively.

I would not recommend Dr. C-L unless you can spend tons of hours doing work. Her rubrics are unclear, so ask tons of questions. She did give out a ton of extra credit (maybe because most of the class was failing?). She requires two books, one is boring, the other is interesting.
