I took Dr. Soeder over Summer I semester and loved it. All lectures were prerecorded and the readings were very straight forward and interesting. You can work at your own pace as long as you get it done by the due date. She gives great feedback, as long as you put in the effort you will do fine. Very quick to get back to questions you have and friendly! Would definitely recommend.

I am honestly surprised her ratings are so low. Yes, she is a bit difficult regarding class conversations, but I think this is her personality. I don't find it rude, but instead, trying to engage you more in the curriculum. The biggest assignment is worked on all semester long and divided into several parts. It is nearly impossible to fail when it comes to presenting it. The assignments are set up so that you get relevant feedback and are able to improve. Other than these assignments, you do readings and discussions every week that are extremely easy. I skimmed most of them and got a 30/30 on every single one. She also allows you to not do two of them. She is caring, kind, and seems to care about her students doing well. I have to be honest, I learned a lot from her and look forward to taking her again next semester. Don't slack off, and you'll do wonderful.

She will argue back and forth with you and embarrass you in front of the class. If you go to her after class, she will make you feel very dumb. No one ever knows what to say to make her happy. She has such a narrow view of what she expects of her students. It is hard to make her satisfied, when you hear how she speaks to other students in the class it makes you not want to talk or ask her a question in front of the class so it is kinda hard to do well. She does participation points for class of when you speak and no one ever speaks bc she is very confusing and it is hard to follow what she is talking about.

Good luck with any project working with this teacher. She will take points off and she will explain to you what is wrong in the most confusing way possible. She will constantly keep you confused and go back and forth a million times until she gives up on you. I have never felt this way with a teacher and it is SO discouraging. Even in class when she gives feedback to students in front of the class it's almost as if she is so fed up with the students not understanding exactly what she wants and she comes off as very mean. A lot of other students in the class have also seen this happen and we have discussed how bad it is. Also, her projects are so confusing and weird no wonder students don't understand. Go to the writing center instead of dealing with her.
