Dr. Clark may have been the worst professor I have ever had the displeasure and misfortune of having. Heed the other reviews - ChatGPT is the name of her game, and she is mean. If you ask questions in one meeting, she puts you on the spot and makes you feel like an idiot for having a question. Her feedback is useless and if there's one thing I've learned, it's what not to do when teaching a class. Her attitude is also frequently condescending to an extent that makes her the most unlikeable professor ever. She nitpicks on things that are truly inane for a policy course, makes you scared to email her, and simply does not know how to conduct a course with any knowledge or grace. The course is mostly busywork but if you have the option, do not take it with her.

All of our feedback on assignments was from ChatGPT. She even edited our final report with ChatpGPT and mixed it up with other groups. I do not recommend this professor at all.

Honestly this class was so frustrating. I learned very little and it felt like a waste of time—everyone was stressed about keeping up with busy work (the same essays over and over again). The highest score almost every time was an A- and the average was a lot lower with no grading curve. The essay feedback was clearly ChatGPT and therefore the same comment every time, vague and generic, and very unhelpful. It is annoying to work hard on essay and get a lowish score with ChatGPT comments. The other review is correct in that she would actually laugh at classmates who gave answers not “up to par.”

Very unhelpful and careless professor. She assigns A LOT of busy work. Her reflections and case studies are all the same over and over again. It is a lot of work and not as good discussions. She will laugh at you if your answer doesn't live up to her expectations. Her instructions and structure were so confusing. I couldn't even tell you what I've learned because she was all over the place. I don't think she can tell you what she taught us either.
