Dr. Perry is a woman of few words. She may not get back to you when you want her to but if you follow her instructions, read, and study the material you will pass her class. She appears harsh but I believe it is because she expects you to pay attention to instruction. If you are a needy student you should look elsewhere, otherwise, take her.
