Comments:Human Sexuality - Mixed feelings about Dr. Shannon, well before I begin, if you are currently browsing these reviews and seeing if this class is an easy A, it is, if you want an A, take this course with her. Moving on, she is very, lets say, non-traditional? And I say that becasue she puts on this facade of being relatable and quirky, she'll laugh in lecture, cuss out loud, the lectures are entertaining, but her ego still shines through. It almost as if that act dissapates outside of the 3 hours when she lectures. She takes days to respond to emails, and I had her final the same time as my physics final, and wrote a email asking if i could take it 4 days EARLY and she writes back "No"... thats it, no formality in sight. I understand that I am an undergrad, but I feel like us as students deserve a little more respect than that. That being said, she does have a good view on life, and is not like the majority of high class female professors who talk down on men, especially in a class of majority women talking about sex, I really did appreciate that she treated both sexes equally, and was open to all kinds of opinions. Just a weird person I suppose, but anyways, free A, just study the powerpoints and read the texbook a bit. Have fun. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:PUBH 4321 - I honestly took this class because it was recommended to me by my advisor, but I am so so glad to have taken this class. Not only was this class informative, but it was enjoyable to learn about. Professor Carl presents the information in a way that captivates your attention and truly makes you re-think about what you thought you knew about human sexuality. I loved how she challenged us and facilitated discussions on things we never really talk about in our day to day lives. Her class has 3 exams, and a cumulative (kinda) final, assignments, and discussion boards. Study her PPTs for exams and look over the book and you'll do just fine. I would highly recommend taking this class with her!! - Grade In Class:A
Comments:4321 - I do not know if I could say enough good things about Professor Carl! I only wish I had gotten to know her in person instead of over zoom. This class is extremely interesting and Professor Carl is so entertaining and sociable! She is such a queen. The tests can be tricky, so prepare to study. However, Professor Carl makes it clear that understanding your own sexuality is as important as the grade in the class. There is no reason to stress over a bad test because you have other assignments and extra credit to balance it out. I promise you will not regret taking Carl, she is a blast! I also must add that she was so accommodating and kind when I have COVID. She even offered to go grocery shopping or drop off food and called to check in. Going through COVID alone, that kindness did not go unnoticed!! - Grade In Class:A
Comments:4321 - If you want to do well in the class make sure to read the book b/c there were a lot of questions on the test straight from the book. Her lectures were also interesting and I enjoyed attending them. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:PUBH 4321 - Professor Carl is awesome. Even for an 8am human sexuality course, she made it interesting and enjoyable. I am notorious for skipping 8ams, but with her, I found myself trekking to class, tired and sleepy, because I didn't want to miss the lesson for the day. There are 3 exams and a final, and a quiz that's due about once a week. Totally manageable. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1145 - Took Mrs. Carl for a summer session. Class consisted of four test and she gave out study guides for each one. She was one of the nicest and most fun professors ive had, take her if you can! - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1145 - I took 1145 Health during Summer Session 1 to get it over with. The only part that sucked about this was the fact that I had to sit in a class for 1.5 hours everyday. Other than that, the class was a breeze. First of all, Mrs. Carl is probably one of the most energetic teachers at Baylor and she actually makes participating in the class pretty entertaining. You virtually have no homework except to read the book (if you even want to). She also gives you study guides before each test...so if you never read the book previously or didn't take great notes you'll be able to get high B's or A's on each test. Mrs. Carl actually made class interesting and really cared about her students and relating to them/making sure they were actually getting the information that would be on the test. TAKE CARL FOR HED 1145!!! - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1145 - This is a very easy course if you just attend class, take down the PowerPoint notes, and do her review the night before the test! People complain about this course, but achieving an "A" in her class is very easy! Just listen to what she says, she even tells you when something is very important for the upcoming test!! She is also very approachable!TAKE HER!TAKE HER!! TAKE HER!! You wont regret it!!!:) - Grade In Class:A
Comments:HED 1145 - Carl is just ok, but I would recommend somebody else. She takes the course very seriously even though it is only a 1 hour credit. Her lectures are seldom interesting, but she is very annoying and conducts class with an overzealous, overbearing attitude. One class she spent an entire hour speaking about her childhood anorexia problems and told us to just look at the lecture slides online. She's is pretty strict about attendance and being late. It's basically high school health all over again, just with a more annoying teacher. - Grade In Class:B+
Comments:1145 - STAY AWAY FROM THIS LADY! She is nice during class but is very rude when you go to her office. She takes this class way to seriously and will count you late if you show up 1 min after. Attendance is a decent chunk of your grade so you can't really miss class. Class is so boring and she keeps us in there the entire time while all the other health teachers let their students out 30 min early. There is a semester long project which was pretty easy. I'd suggest just writing a lot. There are 2 tests which require a lot of damn studying for a freaking 1 hour class. I studied a lot and made a high C. The final was over 8 chapters and are ridiculously hard while I had 5 other exams. She really expects us to study a lot for a 1 hour class during finals. Ridiculous. This was the only grade i got lower than an A.. my entire sophomore year. If you do take this lady, make sure its not your first class of the day. Just stay away.. but she is hott though. - Grade In Class:B
Comments:1145 - I really liked this class! It's a class in which she explains the powerpoint and you take notes. No homework, tests were reasonable, and she referenced the book quite often. She has a passion for what she teaches, which makes the class interesting. The tests were all multiple choice, but we only had the midterm and final, none in between. There is a semester long project but it is not hard at all. Overall, I enjoyed this class. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:HED 1145 - Although most health and human behavior classes are practically all the same, Mrs. Carl is a good professor. I used to be mad that we needed to go to class twice a week for a one credit class but you do no work outside of class. Skim the book for the tests, but if you've been awake in her class everyday you are sure to make an A. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:HED 1145 - GREAT TEACHER!! Class consists of a health project, all you do is do what's on the project and you should get all the points for it, Midterm and Final are easy, she gives reviews. - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1145 - Mrs. Carl was so nice! The project was easy and so were the tests! - Grade In Class:A
Comments:1145 - She was a very nice lady and presented the material well. The test were about 70 questions and her reviews even though they are simplistic are a pretty good outline of the test. There are 2 test (midterm, final) and as long as u skim the book and no the review pretty well you, should do well. She's serious about attendance and the behavior project is not hard at all and as long as you have the worksheets filled out you will get full credit. I would recommend her!! - Grade In Class:A
