Comment:
This is the second time I've had this professor. She is very, very difficult to figure out what is going on. She often rambles and does very little to try and help the students. she is disrespectful and full of herself. I would avoid taking any of her classes and should have learnt my lesson the first time.

Comment:
both this class and the 350 class were relatively easy. she has a tendency to do the math wrong in stats. she is an extremely honest, helpful, down to earth person, though at some times it seems as if the caffeine has quite the effect on her. not always clear in lectures, but more than happy to help you out

Although a complete scatter brain, pretty good professor otherwise. Always tried to make sure that everyone was on track... very helpful. No tests, just quizzes, which were easy if you had been attending class. Lengthy homeworks every two weeks.

She's probably a better teacher at the graduate level than for undergraduates. She expects a lot of independant thought.

Terrible professor. Disorganized, unclear, assignment-happy and just plain bad at teaching things to people.

She is the worst teacher in PAA. This class should be abolished and we should go to the Business School to take it. I have had her 2 other times and they were equally as awful. She is unclear, disorganized and she cannot teach.

First off, the correct spelling is craziness. The woman embodies the term. She makes about as much sense as airbags on jet airplanes.

You have to attend class to get a decent grade. Classes went buy fairly fast due to the clasroom activites. She is a nice person but a fruit loop. If you can stand her crazyness then you should do find as long as you go to class. Tests were only 2 questions, both essay

I wish there were negative numbers as my IQ went down as a direct result of being subject to her class.

Comment:
She should be subject to a battery of intense psychological exams before allowed to resume teaching. I'm sure some of her students needed them after her class.
