Slides had little text, so you had to rely on notes from what she said, which made the test harder since mutliple choice questions came from small details mentioned once.",

If you do poorly on a paper, she will allow you to review and make corrections to enhance your grade. Overall, she makes her students interested in the course work and is an awesome professor to have. 10/10 would recommend.",

There are a lot of readings for the course and you have to do them to do well, but they are generally interesting.  She is incredibly personable and is really into what she teaches.  I highly recommend this class.",

If you take LACIS with her, make sure you take a lot of notes during her lectures (there is a lot information thrown at you) so that you do well on her tests. If you put in the effort, you should do well! Incredibly interesting class, especially ancient civilizations!",
