Reviews of professor Cathy Breslaw

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Textbook work is required, you have to purchase it at Pearson for $70. Between canvas assignments and Pearson website, it was hard to manage. Assignments submitted on the due date, despite them being on time: (50%) deduction. Late textbook work: (50%) deduction. Not lenient; lots of discussions, reading, emails, and essays.

Very easy class and teacher gave lots of feedback. Shes also an easy grader and its rare to miss points on assignments if you follow directions, which are clear and easy to follow. Only down side I would say is the textbook required is only online and cost $70, and cannot be bought used. Overall easy A and everyone should take this class.

I wish I would not have taken the 8 week version of the course. Other than that, I really enjoyed the class. The curriculum was interesting and the homework would be easier to manage in the full 16 week course. Professor Breslaw is kind and communicative with her students and gives extra credit opportunities.

The class doesn't have THAT many in-course (Canvas) assignments, but you have access to Pearson Revel, which includes LOTS of reading and LOTS of questions from the reading. The best way to prepare for this class is to make sure that you set a time every day throughout the week in order to read and take notes. Prof. Breslaw is super fair and helps.

HW is easy but professor is NOT!! She bombards you with emails. Textbook work is required but aren't submitted on Canvas, making them hard to manage. She deducts 50% off of assignments that are submitted the day of, despite them being on time. Late textbook work is immediately failed (50%). Not lenient; lots of discussions, easy quizzes, 3 essays.

I took an 8 week course so a lot of the work had to be compressed to fit in that time frame. Even though we had readings, discussions, quizzes every week and 3 papers throughout the course it really wasn't too bad. She is very interactive in commenting and feedback and made the class more enjoyable even with a heavy work load. Great Teacher!
