If theres one thing you need in this class, its structure. Th syllabus tells you everything you need to know. Read the textbook. She easy to approach and has office hours weekly. Shes also really open to helping explain something on quizzes/tests during those office hours. Dont fall behind in the class.

Very structured course with the same assignments due every week to help you learn the material. A simple tip for success: read the textbook and take notes! If you complete the assigned work and do some studying before exams, you will do just fine!

Comment:
She is way too concerned about cheating and it is absolutely impossible to even attempt to cheat in her class. . She also will not tell you the correct answers to anything you got wrong. The course moves quickly, so do NOT fall behind. The tests include a ton of super specific information from the text so it is very important to read the book

She is way too concerned about cheating and it is absolutely impossible to even attempt to cheat in her class. However, if you follow the chapters closely and put the necessary work in the class itself is not super difficult. The tests include a ton of super specific information from the text so it is very important to read the book.

Comment:
Dr. Van Wallendael assigns a lot of homework and workbooks. There is also a lot of textbook reading required, 30-40 pages a week. If you take notes on the textbook, complete the homeworks and study your quiz attempts, you'll do fine on all the tests! A few grades are dropped at the end of the semester and she is easily accessible by email!

Comment:
I've had two classes with this prof, both online. In both classes, every quiz/test was proctored through respondus lockdown browser, which is quite annoying. Still, the material on the quizzes and tests are extremely predictable, as long as you read the textbook you won't slightly struggle. As well, you get 3 tries each quiz, so very forgiving.

Honestly, you most likely will NOT use her lectures what so ever. The power point lectures are bad, the textbook does a much better job of explaining things. You will learn the content based off of the textbook, workbook, and Inquisitive. She also went to Disney World mid-covid pandemic so.... yknow kind of cringe.

shes amazing! definitely have to study for this class but everything is given to you and she communicates very well via email. the class is easy if you study and get used to the format of the course itself. super organized and tests were easy if you used all the study material given. everything is weighed in all fairness as well. love the course!

Comment:
Lori was more worried about "cheating" in the GroupMe than how her students did on the test. She gave so many assignments it was hard to keep up. When the class averaged a 60% testing AVERAGE, she sent out an email blaming us and said we needed to study better. Hello? Maybe you need to actually teach better.

I know a lot of people don't really like her but I think she was great & I honestly loved this class. The tests are relatively easy if you do all the work and watch her lecture videos (although sometimes they were terrible quality so that sucked). She provided good "extra help" videos and (small) extra credit opportunities throughout the semester.

Not the worst class in the world, but tests are very difficult. No study guides for test so be aware. Would not recommend taking this class unless you're prepared to read and study.

Prof. Van Wallendael is a very good teacher. She knows what she's talking about and explains things very well in her pre-recorded lectures. Attendance wasn't taken but watch lectures each week and take the quizzes for them or you will not pass. Read the textbook as well, it isn't too hard. Make sure to always do packback!!!

Make sure to read chapters bc the tests and quizzes cover more than what is provided in the lecture videos. Four exams and a final. Make sure to take notes on the chapter! Shes not the friendliest but if that doesnt bother you then you should be okay.

Comment:
Wallendael was an okay professor in my opinion. There is a lot of reading in this course. The reading was okay. The exams were pretty difficult. Some questions were worded very confusing which made it even harder. She does not do reviews to at least know what will be on the exams. She does respond quickly to emails and tries her best to help.

Really wanted to like this teacher but made it difficult to understand the material. The tests were very hard and the questions were even more confusing. I feel as if she doesn't want anyone to pass. She made this class very unattractive and made me feel unsmart almost all the time. Her workbooks are IMPOSSIBLE, good luck getting over 50%.

She assigns overwhelming amounts of work, but you get used to it fast. If you don't like to take tests/quizzes with lockdown browser + webcam then don't take her because she even makes you take a SYLLABUS quiz with it. If you don't read the textbook you won't pass the tests. She drops a couple of low grades to help you though! Very kind professor!

Comment:
Dr. Wallendael is a witch. I would not take this class with her as my teacher because I had covered up the webcam by accident while taking the syllabus quiz. She sent an email with a threat regarding that I will be reported for an academic integrity violation and will receive a non-droppable score of zero on the exam in question.
