I really liked her in the beginning until she kept giving me wrong grades. For example, my attendance score is really low for some reason, but I was in class every time we had class. A lot of my assignments that I turned in would be a 0% because she "didn't get them." Now I'm an A student and I was very disappointed with this particular professor.

Would take again

For a FYES 1000 course, this professor is adamant with making it the most annoying, sporadic course ever by changing her course schedule and syllabus nearly every week. She is hostile, insanely late to emails, insanely late to her 'help' discussion, and gives lengthy assignments that take way much time out of my other courses that it's criminal.

The class is not hard, but if you need help with anything forget about getting any help she will not respond to messages or the discussion board that is so called there for you to ask questions. Just try your best and hope for the best! You're on your own!
