Dr. Wassarman was really clear with her teaching and had excellent power points. She was available to meet outside of class frequently. Her exams were VERY similar to her daily worksheets and always allowed you to take a sheet of notes into an exam.Rate My Professors ↗
Lectures were straightforward. Professor Wassarman was always available to answer questions outside of class. She seemed to really care about giving students feedback on the homework.Rate My Professors ↗
She was not at all interested in the class, never gave clear instructions and was not very helpful. Lectures were very disorganized because she would often post corrected version a few days later. If you can never take a class with her. I fell sick 2 times the semester and she was not very considerate about my condition.Rate My Professors ↗
Teacher did not seem to enjoy her job. Her lectures were so highly disorganized they severely hampered her class. The instructor would never clearly state what she expected of her students in any aspect of the class, and did not seem to keep to any set standards in grading. In short:a very inconsistent instructor who should be relegated to labRate My Professors ↗
Easy class, gives you handouts in lecture and puts them on the web also, just study from these before the test and you're set. No outside reading. Don't bother taking notes on the handouts, or bother showing up if it's out of your way.Rate My Professors ↗
I didnt like her. She didnt seem like she liked her work that much, and her tests were not that fair. She doesnt seem to know much about the topic. I did well overall in the class, but still think she's a b@#$.Rate My Professors ↗
