Comment:
She gives 3% extra credit if you only miss 1-2 classes over the semester. The exams are almost entirely lecture, always 42 questions and 4 are on reading, but since its 200 pages of reading per unit, just skip the reading and study the lectures. Also very clear on how shes grading, only 3 42 question multiple choice tests, half are true false.

Comment:
She grades harshly, and her exams and pop-up quizzes are super hard. The exams and quizzes also don't really correlate with the lectures/notes from class. She doesn't post any power points so you have to go to every class for the notes. She also calls people out and makes you feel stupid when you ask a question.

The class started late in the semester and so we had lecture for 2.5 hours two times a week. Very lecture heavy and the only grade you get is from your performance on the 3 exams.

Comment:
Professor Hall is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. Her coursework was very demanding. I learned a ton. She is extremely fair, logical, and intelligent. While being focused and concise, she makes the class fun. She also is very careful not to let her own opinion come through in her teaching. Excellent study abroad prof as well.

Dr. Hall is sensational! A true gem. She studied under Professor Ferber at GW and it shows. Her knowlege, style and appearance are all top rated. If you have issues with her, you may want to reconsider your choice of schools.
