A lot of material. I believe she really cares that we learn. She sometimes goes on about things that are good to know but not on test. I thought I was going to fail the class at times but it turned out alright. I knew others in the class who had gotten bad grades on tests and still turned out alright. Didn't study much for quizzes but u get dropsRate My Professors ↗
Tests are way too hard. She explains things too much, like going into things that will not be on the test. She seems to care that we are learning, but makes the tests very hard. Class averages are in the 70-75 range.Rate My Professors ↗
