I would never recommend anyone to take her class. She needs to learn how to respect her students. She belittles the class with her remakes. She may not be aware of the effect she has on her class. But it is not good. Also, I have witnessed her behaving in a very unfair manner. Crackling voice.

She honestly has no sympathy or understanding for her students. People who take online classes take online because they do not have much time. I for example went to school and work full time. She does too much for it being an online course. Her quizzes have material she did not explain in the lecture video and her mylab assignments are mandatory.
