| Additional Comments |
I found this course to be a little more challenging than most 300 level courses I have previously taken. A number of people appeared to be having difficultes as the grades posted on her website show. Dr. Madole is enjoyable and little corny at times, but the good professors generally are. The class has three exams which are 10 questions which are mostly essay, but a few are short answer. By essay I mean a good 5 to7 senntence paragraph. The questions come from a study guide of some thrity odd questiona available online. Honestly, you prepare these in advance, and study them for maybe 45-minutes for three nights prior to the exam, then there is virtually no reason you shouldn't get an A on the exam. Dr. Madole will even look over your answers in advance if you do with enough time before an exam. The hardest part about the exam is maybe the 55 minute time frame to do it in, but most do not have a problem with this. There some quizzes on two articles that require being read as you will also have a paper due on each. The quizzes themselves are easy as two classes are spend discussing the articles The papers are the same as a test grade and are about 3-4 pages (1/2 article summary, 1/2 anaylsis). Finally there is a cumulative final at is only 40% the value of a test (40 pts.). Notes for the class are available online so note taking is easier, but you do want to expand upon them to help prepare for exams. I quit printing out the notes because it was a lot of paper (the are powerpoints with 30-90 slides) and I wasn't writing much, which made things difficult.
Overall, I found the class interesting and enjoyable. I would probably not recommend this class to most people as it does require more work that most people appear willing to perform.
