one of the comments from that story RD Walker wrote on 20 April, 2011, 12:15 Hey Ellen, I am not a student. I am, however, the parent of a student at Iowa. I am paying full tuition right out of my pocket. My daughter was in one of your classes. She fell into it during her freshman year as a necessity. Gen Ed requirements you know; kind of your bread and butter, huh? She filled me in regarding the jackassery you teach. We had some good laughs. You gave my daughter a good grade and never even knew she regarded you a rather worthless, dried up old scrunt. You did provide her an education, however, but not as you intended. I told my daughter that it is part of her education to learn how the other side thinks. She is to observe you and understand you. She is Jane Goodall watching the chimps of Tanzania through the forest. She is there to observe your behavior, to learn the way you think and act. She isn’t there to attempt to change you; you can’t be changed. She is to watch and learn so that she can deal with people like you in her life and career. You made an OUTSTANDING subject for her to observe and study. In learning about how you think, she learned how you and the intellectual corruption you represent will be defeated.

Rate my professor Terrible teacher, terrible person. The subject was interesting before I heard a word come out of her mouth. Don't reveal you are a conservative or the loving liberal that she is will fail you while cussing you out the door. Intelligence squared. She loves to ramble to fill up time. Talks and talks and talks just to fill the remaining part of class. Rushes through material. Has a superiority complex about her being from NY, and openly looks down on Midwesterners. Spends a disappropriate amount of time on gender studies material even when the class she's teaching has nothing to do with it. I actually agree with this Professor about most political views but saw her silencing and shutting people down which was disrespectful and scared people. If she's made up her mind, then she thinks nobody else needs to hear anything more about a view. That's not teaching and it's not feminist either. It's self congratulating in front of students. ratemyprofessors.com
