I connected with her teaching style and found her helpful during office hours. Didn't ace the course, but did well enough. I will take another course from her.Rate My Professors ↗

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
Very boring and unclear with respect to expectations. Also unable to prompt discussion when students run out of novel things to talk about, which shouldn't be the case when she is supposed to be the expert on the subject.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 2/5Difficulty 5/5
She is terrible. Tests were extremely tricky, and she says "This is the idea of...." before everything she says. I had a hard time following her lectures, and she was not helpful in office hours. Seems like a nice person though, just a terrible professor.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 3/5Difficulty 3/5
She was hard to follow during lecture. Her powerpoints go up about 20 minutes before class but it is hard to write notes without them as she talks so quickly and often jumps around her slides. Her tests are very hard even after studying alot the questions are poorly chooses bases on her lectures. The book is not used at all.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 2/5Difficulty 3/5
Very nice lady, but has no public speaking ability. She sounded like she was about to cry whenever she speaks, and has poor time management skills when it comes to lecture. Her exams are very wordy and uses many double negatives. Her lectures are very boring. Reads off the slide. I wouldn't recommend this class.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 2/5
She has a really difficult time conveying what she wants from her students. The exams are EXTREMELY wordy. I wouldn't say the class is really difficult. That being said, I didn't enjoy the class at all. Her lectures are boring. Don't buy the book.Rate My Professors ↗
