This was one of my least favorite courses I have ever taken. She will not accept any feedback or listen to your concerns, so I wouldn't even recommend trying. This course is set up for you to fail so just try to do what you can and work/study with others.

Tracy is a very out-of-date professor. Her exams do not at all reflect her lectures. Studying for this class is nearly impossible. The final PE was very nit-picky, so make sure to practice this well. I would recommend studying from the slide notes panel versus her lecture since that is where most of the questions will come from.

She is unwilling to take feedback from students. Exams were so specific & wording was confusing. Exams weren't taken in class so you couldn't ask for clarification. When going over exams she wouldn't budge to give back a point even if she was wrong. The final PE is insanely specific. They doc off points for things that weren't even on the rubric.
