If I could give 0 stars, I would. Her classes are a snoozefest, she reads from plain slides for the whole class, doesn't show any examples of what she is talking about (MARC records, metadata schemas, thesauri... All stuff that you need to see to understand). There is no interaction between peers, group assignments, or between her and the class - she talks at us, not to us, unless we are asking a question. Her grading is the worst thing I've ever seen. She doesn't have a rubric for any assignment, just a generic prompt that is 5 lines long, and then she grades with no criteria at all, deducting a different amount of points from students who made the same mistake. She is never timely on grading, either, so don't even bother with the deadlines. In her feedback, she will sometimes refer to things that were covered in class weeks after you submitted your assignment, and that is when she's not copying and pasting the same exact feedback for the entire class. Waste of tuition money, waste of time. Take this course with someone else, take it online, but don't take it with her. I still have 2 assignments ungraded, one from March 11, and if I hate top grades, I will get an A-. I hate that she ruined my perfect 4.0 GPA, just because she doesn't know what a rubric is and doesn't understand grading criteria.

This was an online grad school class. Dr. Weaver scaffolded all the projects so that they built on each other. If we didn't get full points on an assignment, she allowed us to resubmit the assignment after receiving feedback. She responded to all emails promptly. There were no mandatory discussion boards or group projects, and no tedious busywork. I recommend her!
