TAKE PROFESSOR PAC! I looked forward to attending class all semester. You have to work hard and think critically to do well in the class, but it was SO rewarding. She was incredibly accommodating to students and brought in memorable guest speakers. I would take her class again in a heart beat.Rate My Professors ↗

She's amazing! Super passionate about what she does and what she's teaching, and she definitely wants what's best for her students. Assignments weren't too difficult and were applicable.Rate My Professors ↗
Prof. Pac cares so much about the content she teachers and it shows in her lectures. She is truly an expert in her field and I learned so much from her. I respect her an incredible amount, and she respects her students in turn. Everything we learned had a clear application outside of class. Anyone interested in SW should take her classes.Rate My Professors ↗
