Read the reviews and decided to take 213 since I needed it. Lectures are terrible. You can hear breathing/swallowing into the mic, so read textbook. Homework is simple but quizzes and exams are brutal (nothing like the lecture). Can't see your grade all semester and they don't let you see the average grades either. Got an A and wouldn't recommendRate My Professors ↗
Easily the worst professor I've ever had in my life, no one else even compares. Makes the tests so much harder than the quizzes and homework. Usually are given something that you've never seen in class, which is just not how you should be graded. I saw the bad reviews on this teacher and decided to take the risk and hope for the best. I regret it.Rate My Professors ↗
Worst professor ever. Would constantly yell at students in Piazza. Would not help at all with questions about the class. The lectures were so long and her accent is so thick. Her exams are literally impossible and she is TERRIBLE at teaching. TAs dont even understand english. Avoid her at ALL costs. I even got an A but regret this class.Rate My Professors ↗
Avoid at all costs. Couldn't listen to her lectures because she constantly breathes into the mic, never communicates with students, exams were nothing like any of the examples in her lectures, discussion worksheets, or quizzes. Does not care about her students and TA's are really no help what so ever.Rate My Professors ↗
Please dont take a class with this teacher if you can. She doesnt tell you your grade all semester and her lectures are boring. Worst teacher Ive ever had a UWRate My Professors ↗
This class was insane. Spent 10+ hours a week doing homework, and I couldn't understand her lectures at all. They were too fast paced with little examples and in scribbles. She also pretty much refused to answer questions. You have to highly rely on the textbook. Average on the final was a low D, and there were questions on it we weren't taught.Rate My Professors ↗
