Students Say…

“Jackie is a great professor and she makes the course accessible to all students regardless of their prior knowledge. She also made herself so available there was never a time where I felt lost without any guidance.”

“The instructor made a concerted effort to vary her teaching and types of activities and often tied in real–world situations to make the material relevant and accessible. Her goal was for students to understand the material and was always available for help and willing to be flexible to help students in any way she could.”

“I’ve never had an instructor who I felt was so “on my side,” and this was very comforting when taking a course whose material made me very uncomfortable. I feel like I not only know the material on a superficial level, but that I can apply it to real life.”

“Professor Carroll went above and beyond with her online instruction. Her website was clear, easy to follow, and walked us through each new concept in incredible detail.”
