Clearly lacks organizational and professional skills, can't keep a classroom under control, did not know the content well. Was consistently late, even to an exam, had a different professor come in and teach for a week because she didn't know the content well enough. Grades homework harshly.Rate My Professors ↗

She is very disorganized and all over the place. Lectures are mandatory but you will have to teach yourself everything. Tests are too bad.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 3/5
She was very disorganized (kept changing the schedule, showed up late for class), a very bad lecturer (read to us from disorganized slides that were hard to follow), did not know the material, could not answer questions, was visibly flustered when students asked questions, and did not answer emails. I learned everything from my TA and textbookRate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
Worst professor I've ever had. Each homework problem is worth 10 points, and she takes off 5 for any mistake. Doesn't answer questions. Randomly doesn't show up to lecture and announces it 5 minutes after the start. Exams aren't representative of what you learned. Lectures are impossible to follow. Goes too fast to take notes and absorb info.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 1/5Difficulty 4/5
One of the worst teachers I've had. In lecture she just goes through the slides and doesn't elaborate on anything. After the first exam she started taking roll call at lectures without telling anyone. She also takes off half of the points on a homework question if you mess up a slight detail. Avoid at all costs.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
One of the worst and most useless professors here. can't communicate anything to students. i attended class more often than she did. if you ask for help, she calls you stupid and says its your fault you can't figure out a program she doesn't know how to use but makes you use for your homework and final exam. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!Rate My Professors ↗
