Teacher gift #1

I'm poor, it's no secret but I wanted to give the teachers something for Christmas. I couldn't do all of their teachers (pe, art, music, library, etc) like I use too but I made each home room teacher this with a star bucks gift card. I think they are cute! Now I'll just have each boy sign his name for his teachers gift. I have another cute little idea if it turns out ill post a picture then.

Jeri (Jerrie) Scott Review

This review is for anymore looking to have Jeri Scott at Rose State.

I have been enrolled in Psychology with Jeri (Jerrie) Scott for two months now.  This has been the worst experience with a professor/ teacher ever!  First off, Rose State changed the course book this year and it took Jeri Scott almost a month to figure out that it was a different book.  A Month into our class!  At that time she did make an announcement on the announcement page.  At that time though, Quiz 1 was due.  Well most of the class did very poorly with Quiz 1… including me.  I emailed her since she had still yet to reply to any student on the message forum.  I told her I didn’t do well on the quiz and was looking for a little help.  She then asked if I read the chapter it was over (which I did and took notes and studied it), and then said I was also suppose to read another part of the book (pages 400 and something)… that was news to me!  So I decided it was ok, and I would do better next time.  In the next month, we had an activity due, I got mine back and passed and did ok, but whatever I missed I am clueless about because she didn’t “correct” the paper… all she said was “you needed to go into more details”..  Then I had a test due the next day, I did fine on that also. Once again I have no idea what I missed so I was not learning the material at all.   What gets me is.. this last week we had another activity due.  We knew it was due for about a month, and Jeri Scott “opened” the lesson about 3 weeks ago.   Well the week it was due, about 3 days actually before the due date, many students had completed the activity and it was turned in, she went and changed the activity.  Closed the first activity and reopened it as a different activity with the same due date!  And she didn’t make an announcement or say anything at all about it.  NOTHING!  That is so wrong.  Bad teaching!  She is a very lazy teacher.  Her class is a lecture, but she never lectures.  She never says anything.  You are expected to read the book and basically guess which pages to read, and you never know when the lesson will change.  It’s like a game; I don’t have time for games.  I need a teacher that teaches.  So if you are thinking about taking Psychology with Rose State College, stay away from Jeri Scott!
