Absolutely terrible. Her map quizzes are ridiculous and her tests are even worse. She annoyed me and I left every class feeling discouraged and flat-out dumb. I took notes in class and was still ending up with D grades on the tests. The questions were confusing and would sometimes seem as if multiple answers were possible. AVOID HER IF YOU CAN! I got frustrated to the point of giving up on this class, and I'm usually an A/B student. Will be retaking this class with a new professor next semester.
This class was very difficult because everything is based off of PowerPoint notes. She says to the class, "This is the part where I lose people every time" so don't you think she would change it? She is open to suggestions but does not act on them. She knows a lot about the topic but doesn't allow students enough time to study before tests. Nice person, very difficult professor.
Positive:
Comes to class organized
Negative:
Professor is boring or bland
Makes class too challenging
Professor does not relate to students
I found her powerpoints and lectures to be interesting. Her quizzes and tests can be difficult if you don't take good notes or if you do not do the readings. If you show up to class and do the assignments it's hard to get anything lower than a B
Positive:
Good professor.
Is challenging
Shows a great knowledge of subject matter
Negative:
This is the absolute worst professor I have ever had. I am a 4.0 student and I could not figure this woman out. I try very hard in all of my classes but let me tell you it is almost impossible to get and A or even a B in this class. Her tests and weekly quizzes are not even on the information she tells you to study. She tries tricking you on purpose and tell you to question everything she says. Great teach huh? What kind of prefessor tells you to question what they say. This is the worst class I have ever taken and do everything you can not to take her!! Even if you like a challenge she makes it impossible to succeed. I left the class everyday feeling discouraged and hopeless.
Positive:
Is challenging
Brings discussion into the classroom

Would not recommend this professor
Confusing or hard to understand

Overly difficult tests or assignments
Makes class too challenging
Worst professors I've ever had!
All of her notes are done with powerpoints...none of which are ever on D2L or printed so you can see a hard copy. She goes very quickly, and doesn't put forth much effort because she claims to be to bored or to busy! At the last minute she decides to cut one of our assignments and make all the other ones worth more points. Sounds good right?! WRONG!! Because then she claims that all of use plagiarized our work and gave us little if any points and said we should be lucky that she didn't kick us out of class for it! So seriously, unless you can't get in anywhere else, don't take her for this class!! She makes it much harder then it ever needs to be!!
