Comment:

Mixed feelings on her. Shes sweet and nice and tries her best but her monotone voice will put you to bed. She knows her stuff but reads right off the slides with no extra info. Talks about irrelevant topics during lectures that do not help on quizzes or tests. She went through a lot this semester but she was mediocre at best.

Very organized and professional professor. She has clear expectations for students and you can tell she knows so much. Her class is very interesting and she makes it very cool to learn about it. Have not taken one of her tests yet but I know I will be well prepared because she does not play games very clear cut. Work hard and do well in her class.

This woman is awful. Every-time, I email to ask questions she acts like I'm asking her to do the impossible for me. If you say you're the person to go to and I do why are you short answering me, making it hard for me to receive answers I truly need. Just exudes rudeness. Will no longer be attending this university, she's unfortunately the head of d

She's GREAT! Do your readings and participate and you will get on well with her. She curves her tests fairly and always gives study guides and she answers emails in a timely manner. This is college, work hard and you will get the grade you deserve.

Amazing Professor! Great class discussions. Attend class, participate, easy and interesting assignments and it will be an easy A. If you're lazy and you don't like to do homework or attend class, then college is not for you.

She interacts well with male students. If you are female and smart, she won't like you and let you know, but it won't affect your grade. She does grade fairly.

Comment:

She was a bit monotone and you could tell she was just reading straight from her slides with no additional comments. She literally put me to sleep sometimes. The good thing is that she's an easy grader. Her tests are also basically her study guides but with some information from the book that she doesn't go over so make sure you read.

Very rude professor. Expects too much from students when all she does is read from the powerpoint and doesn't elaborate on the slides. Has a nasty attitude, expects you to come to class on time but yet she is always late. Hard grader, does not help you improve your grade in any way. Very disrespectful. DO NOT RECOMMEND her to anyone .

Comment:

There are a lot of double standards with being on time (e.g. you can't be late, but she can be) There is no paper criteria but she has very rigid expectations, expect her to pick favorites which you will have no over. Worked extremely hard for a C in her class where I worked half as hard for As in all my other classes. She is a very tough grader.

She was pretty good. gave curves when the class didn't do so well on tests. If you put in effort in papers, she grades fairly and gives high marks. Tests are pretty hard but it's because there is so much information. Never had a problem with her.

Completely unsympathetic and unforgiving. I suddenly lost my father towards the end of the course and she was very rude and unaccommodating about it. Very tough grader and she is quite arrogant. Also, you'll have to become BFFs with your textbook in order to pass.

Comment:

I was very upset after taking this course with her. She reads off the power points and has a monotoned and quiet voice. I had to miss a couple classes from being very sick and she was not helpful at all. She would not take my doctors notes and told me my grade would go down at least a whole letter grade. Not accommodating and a tough grader.

She is a terrible advisor. Anytime I have a question, she answers so nasty like I'm asking her to do something ridiculous. I'm asking you to do your job, sorry? She doesn't go to her office hours, doesn't answer emails, & one day she'll tell you one thing, the next day she'll tell you the opposite. Hate dealing with her

This was okay. It was interesting at some points but felt repetitive by the end. Also we did not go by the syllabus much but that may have been because of all the snow days.

Comment:

Her notes are different from test, the test comes from the textbook (which the bookstore don't even sell). If you email her a question, she will reply saying "please read directions". She is way too boring. She gives like 1 minute to copy the notes before she goes to the next slide. Bad Professor.

This class and professor are deff not for slackers. Study,do your work and show up to class and you will not have a problem. This professor assigns homework weekly and tests often. Semester project at the end as well. The good part is there is a lot of different opportunities to get your grade up

This course was pretty difficult. It is what one should expect taking a course at this level anyways. She was still very helpful, it's a must to do everything on time!
