Aviod this teacher if you can. She is so wrapped up in the technology that does not work that she totally neglects teaching anything about writing.

It seems that you need to check WebCT every hour because she posts things without your knowledge and you have quizzes that just pop up. She counted off 2 days for attendance because of a HURRICANE!
