Beth St Jean INST232C Expecting an A Anonymous 05/05/2024	Took her for a class in the Carillon Communities. She is very sweet and deeply cares for the success of her students. Attendance was mandatory and weekly readings were assigned and "tested" through kahoots each week. For a gen-ed, I do think that there was too much reading; most people never really read the assigned readings, and I just skimmed though the main topics each week. Her powerpoints were also super long and very dense. Other than that tests were open note and take home, and the class is centered around one large group project which is quite interesting and very fun depending on how close you are to your group(you all live in the same building). Overall Beth is a really caring professor but for the carillon class, I do think she can break down her slides and topics to be less dense and content heavy so people actually read and understand what is going on in class.

She wants you to call her by her first name and uses PowerPoint that are all posted at the start of the semester so you can find everything easily. There is one big group project with multiple due dates for different parts two individual essays and two quizzes that are open notes. If you put a little effort into everything it is impossible not to pass but try because it's all super easy to understand and Beth is the best Professor and makes it fun. She's chill about attendance but does take it. If you don't go or email her before she's super flexible and cares so much for your well-being. Get to know her also, she's super personable and so fun to talk to after class when I had some time to kill before my next class because she always ended 15-30 min earlier. The only thing I would say is my class was a 9:30 am so if she didn't use all the time, I would have preferred a later start time at 10 am.

Teaches using powerpoints and then posts them all on ELMS so all of the notes are always available. The group project is super easy and she leads us through the whole thing. Also very understanding with absences.
