Dr. Durham is very wise yet down to earth. She is genuinely interested in seeing her students succeed and knows exactly how to promote good class discussion. She is the perfect person to teach students how to make great teachers; she uses the very teaching styles she wants us to take on in the classroom some day. Incredible person... caring, intelligent, and engaging. Most students taking 471 or 310 will have her anyway - you will not be disappointed!
If you don't agree with her opinions, dont bother with taking her!
