Cons: -unorganized
-too much unnecessary hw
-stupid deadline dates
-doesn't realize it's a 100 class not a 400
She said that 1 unit classes are more time consuming and harder than 4 unit ones. What a load of shit, stop trying to justify your unneeded workload bitch.
If you want to have any form of free time DO NOT TAKE.
Cons: -Unorganized
-Pointless work
-no real instruction
-clustered blackboard
-expects homework done on random days
-more work than needed
I took EGR 100 just for the GE credit and I was told it was fun by other students, which obviously did not have faltens as a professor. She is a nice person though, but weigh that with all the cons listed above. Please for your own sanity do not take this professor. This class has caused me the most stress and given the most work than my other 4 unit classes. If she is the only one available take it next quarter, or the next, just please do not take her class.
Cons: Teaches like she is teaching grade-schoolers.
Gives a ton of busywork homework.
Tough grader
Boring
I enrolled in this class without knowing about Koofers. I wish I had.
Dr. Faltens does a horrible job of teaching this course. She goes over topics in class fine, but assigned a ton of homework. It is all busywork, and she expects it done at moments notice. She doesn't mention some things in class, and expects that you scour her Blackboard page to find homework assignments. She emails additional homework a few hours before class.
The syllabus is very vague.
Overall I learned very little from this class.
If you like all of your free time filled with busywork homework where you do not learn anything, make sure you sign up for her course.
Cons: class was disorganized, acted as if she had a strict syllabus and grading system and dates for turning things in, but it everyone was always confused on what was due because the class got off track so easily. Too big of a work load for a one-unit GE lab.
Cons: She assigned over 100 assignments and she doesn't keep up the grading either. She gives out assignments randomly on blackboard with out informing us in class or over email. You'd think it would be an easy class because she treats everyone like elementary students but its not. even after the final, she made sure to give us more work. it's really hard to keep up with all the assignments she gives out.
Avoid her.
Cons: you meet once a week for lab
worst professor ive ever had. I dreaded going to this class every week and always got frustrated with her. She makes the easiest assignments 10 times harder than it needs to be. This should be a fun relaxing class but not with her. Avoid at all costs.
Cons: Expects us to be able to do projects without teaching us anything. Treats the class like elementary children. She grades really tough. It feels as if this is the worst class I have ever taken.
Cons: Do not take her. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. Just because you got the email to take EGR100 doesn't mean you have to take it. It is honestly a trap. Take another GE or choose another teacher (I didn't call her a professor cause she isn't one.) She is an elementary school teacher. I hope she reads this.
Cons: She gives all this bullshit work for no reason. I never rate professors but I feel like I have to rate her cause she is so bad. She gives out so much tedious work I want to shoot myself. If you ask her for any help on her assignments she doesn't really help you. She wants you to figure out a way to solve it even if it is impossible. I thought this class would be okay because it only had one bad rating, but holy shit. worse class ever. Not even worth taking. It is more work than ALL of my classes combined.
Cons: lots of material to cover in a short amount of time.
She assigns a book that you will use often but, never for homework. She uses the iclicker system so make sure you get one and always have your iclicker or you will lose out on the points. Always check blackboard and your course units as she posts a lot of crap that you may not notice.
Personally, she is a nice person but, at times can appear confused. She DOES teach the class like we are second graders and it can get very annoying at times. In her office hours she doesn't get to the point right away and just makes you sit around guessing for awhile. That said you should see her in her office hours so that you get on her good side. Also, try not to make fun of the hip amp.
From experience and word of mouth; don't get down on yourself if you get trolled on your homework and tests. Test averages are usually under 50% and very few get 90-100% on homework. Keep studying hard, bring your iclicker, READ EVERYTHING, and always check blackboard.
Cons: She doesnt know what she is talking about. She assigns work constantly and will change assignments causing you to do more work. She makes it hw for you grade your own work and other classmates work with detailed explanations. She makes you turn in work on weekends and when there is no class, so you constantly have to be checking blackboard. She makes you read this a 40 page ch. and write a whole story about it. She assings multiple assignments that need a over 1 page write up. She is unorganized and never gives clear specifics on assignmets. She assigns you useless work that just wastes your time. Shell make you work the hardest you will ever expect for a freshman GE. She has you do a final project and presentation instead of a final exam, but she gives you 2 weeks and has rediculus requirements. Even when the class is finished she makes you grade your own and everyone elses final project.
I beg you if want to have a life next quarter dont take this teacher! I dont know how she has a PHD. She doesnt know how to teach, i learned nothing from her.
Cons: She makes you do this instrument project where actually have to make an octive from one of them. She wastes alot of time just asking questions, basiclly waste the entire class. She expects you to come up with answers yourself, which is stupid because there is a reason we are paying to go to her lecture. She also makes you grade your own hw sometimes and evaluate your team members after haveing group projects.
I would not take this teacher again if i had the oppertunity
