Isn't very clear in her lectures but the material is easy anyway. Doesn't put in the extra effort to help, relegates most of the work she should do to her TA's who are cluelessRate My Professors ↗

Her exam was ridiculously hard. Don't need to read but make sure you literally memorize every single site and thing she talks about because it will be on the exam. Other than that I did like her as person and she was super nice when I went in for office hours.Rate My Professors ↗

For her first year teaching, I thought she did very well. She was clear by having an outline at the beginning of her lectures and a summary at the end. Test was definitely hard - make sure you know all of your sites. Of the 3 teachers that taught the sections, she was my favorite. Very nice and helpful if you go into office hours.Rate My Professors ↗

Don't bother going to lecture because she speeds through them way too fast to take notes on. Just get her power points online later and study them. Make sure you really memorize all the specific sites on her power point slides because those are a huge part of the test.Rate My Professors ↗

She speeds through her lectures to the point of it not even being possible to fully take notes. The test is very specific and way too hard for a 100 level class. Would not recommend this class.Rate My Professors ↗
