Quality 1/5Difficulty 5/5
She is the worst teacher I have had so far. The lectures are horribly unorganized, she acts like she does not want to be in her office hours, shaking her head at every question, and the tests are hard, only because they just barely relate to what is taught in class. DO NOT take this class if she is your teacher.

I ask a question 20 minutes before the test and I try to clarify to understand and she gives me a look like I'm stupid after I ask a follow up question, I say to her I'm just trying to understand, she says nothing and walks away from me. Her notes make you spend money to print them out otherwise their is not time to write them down. horribly vague

Wow she is a horrible professor. Lecture is all over the place and she doesn't leave nearly enough time per slide to copy notes. The tests questions were needlessly vague. The only redeeming quality about the class was that the labs were mildly interesting but definitely don't take this class if you don't need to. So not worth the headache.

really easy professor. not very clear at times and can be a bit confusing, but exams were fairly easy. lab was awesome if you have a good instructor. i would recommend this class only because if you attend class enough and hand in the in-class worksheets, she'll give you three extra points on your exam score.

Do not take a class with this professor. She is the most incompetent person you'll ever meet. She will say one thing, mean another, never clarify, and expect the students to know which is right for tests/ quizzes. She can't spell. DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH HER. Unless you enjoy banging your head on your desk.I want my money and time back.

2 midterms and a final, plus a lab component. The lab was pretty good; labs were easy and almost fun at times. She takes in class attendance by doing these in class activities. The exams weren't exactly hard, but the study sheets that she gave out were pretty useless at times.
