One of the worst professors I've ever had. Lectures were long- she would write in complete sentences, so ideas that would normally take 10 min to get across took her an hour. Tests were "easy," but she would take points off for the most ridiculous things... On the second midterm, I got every right answer but got 70%. Awful professor- DO NOT TAKERate My Professors ↗
She has trouble explaining the material in a timely fashion, will rarely do an example problem, and if she does she probably won't show her work. Homework is extremely short and doesn't help you grasp the material. Exams questions are conceptual, while homework questions are computational. Very little material to help learn the different conceptsRate My Professors ↗
Terrible class. Tests are so deceptive. They seem short but almost everyone ran out of time before they could finish because of how tricky they were. Professor is extremely pedantic. Will take points off of work for the most ridiculous things.Rate My Professors ↗
This class was beyond easy. Exams are just like the notes. Notes are written out along with the class, so it's impossible to miss anything. The project is easy if you can read and write. You shouldn't need the curve. Got a 75 on the first exam, but finished strong with an A in the class. She's a great professor. She's funny and relatable. Take her!Rate My Professors ↗
Class was curved as I did better than I expected. Tests were long but fair. She is very helpful if you visit office hours and put in the effort. The textbook sucked.Rate My Professors ↗
WORST CLASS EVER. She grades extremely harshly on the homeworkproject and the exams have a lot of trick questions. She makes a class that should be relatively straight forward way more challenging than necessary. Her method for "curving" the class is very confusing, says she will shift the entire class up a grade but definitely didn't.Rate My Professors ↗
