She is one of the best professors I have ever had at GRCC. Very friendly and responsive to emails and texts. Her lecture are long but very informative and she definitely knows what shes talking about. Great real life examples as well. Her assignments are straight forward and she often will provide homework help videos. Overall a great Professor!

I really like her and I loved this class, I took this class when we went online and she really made sure to communicate with us and told us she would do separate zoom calls if needed to help us understand the topics. I thought she was an amazing teacher she really took the time to get the point across and made sure you understand it

I really enjoyed this class and thats saying a lot because Ive never been a big lover of science. She is a tough grader, and although there are a lot of paper, if you put in the work youll see the results. She explains things very clearly and has no room for those who are there to waste their time and hers. Highly recommend this course and prof.

She is fantastic! I am someone who is horrible at science she does a great job of making sure you understand everything. Yes, there's homework every night, but it's easy. Test are hard so make sure to study for them, but she lets you have a note card and gives you a review sheet to do for extra credit. It's a great class for non science majors!

Love this professor! Yes, you will have homework every night but honestly it is not that hard and she is more than willing to help. She lets you use a cheat-sheet note card on every test! She really wants you to succeed, you just need to show up and participate. Don't buy the textbook, she gives you all the resources you need.

Ridiculous. She is such a tough grader and very rude to the class. I BARELY passed with a C because of her teaching style. She also gives way too much homework.

She was very helpful in lab. She would go over every section of the lab before you start. She would put any necessary formulas or examples on the board. She graded very generously. She was extremely helpful and always willing to help everyone with anything. She was very nice and friendly too. You always has plenty of time to complete lab in class.

What a great instructor to have, intelligent, friendly, helpful and fun. We learned a lot and had a great time as well. This was the lab portion of the class and she was most helpful when problems arose. Could be lengthy classes, but always enjoyable. Doesn't hurt that she is very easy on the eyes as well. I thought very high on the hot scale.

She is up for the nicest teacher at GRCC award. She is always in a good mood, Ive never seen her even remotley annoyed. She even has a nice subtle way of telling you that you have know idea what the hell is going on. Great professor, one of my favorites take her if you can. She encourages questions! Oh yeah, you get a cheat sheet for the exams.

A bit scatter-brained. Tons of homework. Do it all and you'll be all right.
