Her class is only four weeks and intense, with frequent quizzes, journals, and four hard essays. She gives helpful feedback, drops your lowest quiz, and is supportive. Stay organized, avoid procrastinating, and you'll pass. Don't let the review get to you!

I will say she is a very tough grader; she doesn't come over as the nicest, but if you need help, she is more than willing to schedule individual meetings if you need, you just have to ask way ahead of time. Her canvas page is also confusing, and the work takes up a lot of your time Tough graderClear grading criteriaOnline Savvy Helpful 1 0Direct, firm, exacting. Unlike some of my other professors, Dr. Overall was a real college professor. She expects your work to rise to college-level, instead of bending down to meet you at high-school quality (or lower). She's willing to preview and correct rough drafts of papers, but not essay or journal assignments. Grades late. I liked her.Tough graderGet ready to readGraded by few things
