Mandatory attendance. Weekly quizzes. Textbook required, but honestly eh. Group project. Professor Wanner is straightforward and quick to business, but she is nice and gives lots of helpful feedback. She explains things very well. Clear grading criteria. Try not to miss class because the material can go quickly.Rate My Professors ↗

Textbook not really necessary.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Wanner is truly exceptional. I have had the privilege of taking two classes with her. The way she carries the course, creates thoughtful activities, handles in-class discussions, and delivers content makes her classes exciting and meaningful. Looking forward to a third class with her.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof. Wanner might like to teach more practical concepts to her students.Rate My Professors ↗
She won't recognize who you are after graduation. Be prepared.Rate My Professors ↗
She was okay, but rather cold and not overly insightful. She pushes old theories that won't be used after grad school.Rate My Professors ↗
