| Additional Comments |
Dr. Pinnick teaches a hard class in a questionable subject area. Though there is just one test, there are readings every night, notes must be typed and bound at Kinkos, and there are 5 or 6 position papers that must be done from the perspective she says. I might have to refute strongly held beliefs, making my papers less than enthusiastic (and a poor grade). I took this class in the May summer session, and this is difficult indeed.
All this might be tolerable to some, but Dr. Pinnick has all these nitpicky rules. There can be no gum or food in the mouth or nothing in the aisles as she walks by. Also, there cannot be over three mistakes in her rigid format guidelines or your paper is a zero.
Attendance is not officially mandatory but would be required for anything like a decent grade. Dr. Pinnick also seemed to offer extra credit opportunities only to one student, at least initially. Her attitude was intimidating and did not inspire to do the work she was asking for.
Also, she seemed bent on public policy indoctrination as a primary goal for her course. This policy seemed to be heavily liberal from hints she gave in her lecture and the atheistic content in her textbooks. One section was trying to deny God and the Bible, saying they were adverse to forward thinking.
As a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, I hate to give anyone an evaluation like this. But I recommend not to take her.
