| Additional Comments |
This class wasn't as hard as I expected. You visit two separate courthouses downtown on two separate days and write a 2-3 page paper about it. There is a group project/presentation, but the way she grades it gives you a lot of control over your own personal grade and minimizes the impact of bad group members on your grade. You have to write a 3-page personal code of ethics, which is super easy. The rest of your grade is comrprised of three exams, which aren't too bad if you study, and a variety of quizzes and homework assignments (all of which are take-home or pre-announced).
You can do fine in this class without reading the chapters because she gets her notes straight from the book. She presents her notes in PowerPoint form and makes the PowerPoints available on Blackboard. She gives you a study guide for each quiz and test, and it's hard to make less than an A on the exams/quizzes as long as you pay attention to those study guides.
Mrs. Cherry may initially seem a bit abrasive but she starts to grow on you after a week or so. Her expectations are not unreasonable and she grades fairly. The only thing that can really sink your grades is attendance; she only allows two absences.
