She's kinda nice I guess, but sometimes she talks too much about herself. It ends up feeling like a group therapy session instead of an actual class. Takes her time to get to the point. Grabs her hair too much--very distracting in a bad way. The quizzes are done for 4th graders. Overall, very easy class but I'd go with another professor.

She is a great professor and does care about her students, however she does talk a bit much and doesn't really prepare your for the speeches. She will tell you what it's about and your pretty much on your own. Overall, you can pass the class by doing the 3 essays and the 2 speeches (informative) and (persuasive). Good Luck.
