Britta is an amazing professor for a very difficult subject. She really emphasizes things she wants you to know for exams, especially in the highlight reels! You'll need to study well in advance of exams because cramming is impossible in this class. Go to office hours if you are confused on topics, she is very helpful and caring.

Britta is an excellent (and hilarious) professor who makes a challenging course doable yet comprehensive. She should have way more power within the poorly run SoN. Do not read the textbook, but EVERYTHING in lecture is fair game. Some exam questions are worded tricky, but exams feel fair. Do not procrastinate studying or you will fail.

Britta is such a caring, compassionate instructor who genuinely cares about the success of her students. She has a fantastic ability to draw students' interest and explain complex concepts in ways students will remember. UW-Madison is so fortunate to have Britta as an instructor and I hope she is promoted to leadership roles.
