Was initially nervous, but she is a good lecturer (sometimes fast). Attendance & note-taking is a MUST to get an A. She expects a lot from her students, but is a very intelligent and friendly professor who will take the time to help you with any questions. I had to put in a good deal of studying and reading in order to get an A on the exams.Rate My Professors ↗
Speeds through material way too quickly for stuents to comprehend what she's teaching. That's a big disadvantage in a difficult course like this. However, she is very nice and approachable. She's a very intelligent person and made this not-so-exciting class more interesting. I as worried about taking this class, but ended up doing pretty well.Rate My Professors ↗
Rambles a lot. very long powerpoint lectures and only covers 10 of the total slides in lecture but students are still responsible for knowing the material. Elevated grading scale (95-100 = A; 90-95=AB; 85-90 = B; etc.) Hard and unfair exams, difficult grader. Difficult to meet with outside of classRate My Professors ↗
