Professor Block is a generous grader as long as you complete the discussion board andor assignment and put some effort into it. There are 15 weekly quizzes, 3 writing assignments (2-3 pages each), 2 midterms, 1 final, and weekly discussion boards. Her exams were pretty tough and will be the difference between getting an A or B grade.

Angela always answered any questions I had and went above and beyond to help me. You have to know the essay questions on the test to get an A in class but it's possible to do as she gives you a list of questions that may be on test. She wants you to do well & will help you if you ask her. Its my fault I missed an A in class, I would take her again!
