California State University at Bakersfield / S / Karen Stocker

She's a great person, kind of stuffy does not show very much emotion. She is really hard on grading. When the class began she said "I'm not a TV so don't get up in the middle of class to get something to drink or eat" that really set me off, I felt like I was in high school again. Another thing she said was " I believe everyone deserves a Harvard education" and because of this she grades like you go to harvard. For me I'm happy where I am and If I wanted a harvard education I would have went to Harvard. In her class we wrote papers, lots of papers. There were no test. And that might sound great to you but the way she graded the paper almost made me wish that she gave test insted. She focuses a lot on grammer, spelling, and the sturcture of the paper and then when thats all done she looks at the content of the paper. Sometimes I wonder if it should be an English class. I wouldn't advise someone to take this class. I thought it would be inderesting, and it was. But after the first three weeks we started talking about the same things over and over and OVER. It's like we were getting the info. pounded into our heads. Like I said before shes a nice person, but I wouldn't advise taking her class.
