Well, I do not even know where to begin with this professor. I did not list this class as easy or difficult because it depends on whether or not you are prepared to teach yourself. I have had between 40 or 50 professors on this campus and Dr. Adams is by far the worst one there is. The first day of class she will wow you with her educational background, but don't be fooled. Just because she graduated top in her class at law school and received her PhD at brown university does not mean that she ever learned how to teach. I would not even classify her as a professor because I or many of the students never learned one thing of importance or relevance from her. DO NOT take this class period, but especially do not take it if you do not love Law and Order because it is her only source of criminal procedure information. She must have missed the semester they taught criminal procedure in law school or she just slept through it because she obviously did not know the first thing about the subject. She could not even answer the classes' questions. She said that if it was not in the text book she could not answer what we were asking. She might and i stress MIGHT have been a more effective teacher if she had actually shown up once in awhile. She lived in Cincinatti and spent half her time there trying to teach us through emails. She was on the road more or stuck at airports more than she was in class. I can't even begin to understand why she would take the job in the first place especially since she could afford to fly from cincy to Nashville half the time. Oh, and don't expect to get any of your assignments or tests back in a timely manner or at all. We got our first test back, which was 70 multiple choice questions, a month later and then we never saw anything else we turned in the entire semester. I have no idea how we even got grades in this class because it is obvious that she never graded anything. We can't even pick up our assignments from last semester until after Jan. 20th. I guess this is so she will finally have time to go back and slap a letter grade on them. Sorry to be so long winded about this, but I am actually letting her off easy because i could seriously go on for hours about the reasons no one should ever take Dr. Adams. If you can stand to wait until next semester i would because there is no way she will still be at Western. I almost want to find out what university she may be applying to after she is asked to leave WKU, so i can call and give them fair warning not to waste their time because she surely is not worth it.
