When I entered the classroom In my mind I was like "Oh man, I'm going to dislike this class" I've never been a fan of government. But Lisa, is very into her politics, she's very accommodating, she knows how to make class worth it. If you have to take this class I'd recommend her! She's there for your success!

Mixed on this prof. She's excited to involve her students: very subjective in her grading of others. I'm getting an A 'cause I learned to partake in discussion like a liberal. Clearly biased in her instruction, but will deny it to her dying breath. I won't take any of her other courses, but she does actually TEACH, which is rare for this college.

Lisa is very passionate about this subject! I took the honors version with a project and if you have the time in your schedule I highly recommend this course. The service learning project is very rewarding. There is quite a bit of out of class work though. Lisa is a great communicator and will help you with anything you need!

Do not take this prof. if you think government is a blow-off class. You will definitely be getting your money's worth, but pay attention, do the reading guides, do the discussion forum posts early, and GO TO CLASS every single time. Lecture can be dull but it's only for 15 weeks.

The class is simple to pass if you go everyday and do all of the reading guides and reading projects. You are in class learning from the minute it starts till the second it ends which is okay but very dull. I didnt like her at all but i passed with an A.

I took this course online and it's the great online class I've ever had. Lisa's enthusiasm about politics really comes out and made me more interested in politics. I learned so much. I highly recommend her for an online class!

I have no idea what the person before me is talking about. There is no mandatory homework needed for this class. AND if you do the homework you can use it on the exam, which makes the exam rather simple. You have one long paper and two short ones. Three exams and a group presentation. That is all study and you're garunteed an A it's that simple.

She knows her things and is excited about teaching it. Very big on class participation. difficult grader and frowns on tardiness or absences. Tons of homework, front loader class. If you keep up on everything and ask for her help the class is completely passable. Be prepared to spend a lot of time working on her homework.

She was a great online teacher, and the way she organized her classwork made it a impartially simple class to take online. She does tend to 'pick' at certain people, however looking past that she was a great online teacher.

Seriously, find a different teacher. She is all friendly in the beginning but definitely favors certain individuals. Lawrason calls people out in class whenever she wants and seems to like to embarrass people. She is unimpartial when grading presentations. I did all the group work for my group and I still got marked down. I dreaded going to this class.

Trust me, find another teacher.Lisa is totally overboard on homework and her outside of class projects. This was by far way too much work for a 3 credit class. Spare yourself lots of frustration and time. She favors certain students, and your required to be there every class. She's not a happy camper if your late!

First of all, if you care about your GPA don't sign up for her class! She is highly engaged and you really get to know politics in her class. The downside is, the workload is insane and instead of earning credit her whole grading system is based on loosing points.

This is a really difficult class, but you will learn so much, and Lisa made it very enjoyable. She knows so much and really respects everyones opinion. There are lots of hw, but its always to help you learn better about the material. Lisa is great! Such a friendly person
