Terrible Prof! I had such high hopes for her at the begining, seemed nice and willing to help, but turned out to be a disorganized and unprofessional teacher! Worst ever! Doesn't take attendance herself, but makes you sign a scrapbook that never makes it around the classroom! Totally unprofessional and a waste of time. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I am pretty sure this was her first time teaching. At first she was nervous and disorganized, but she did get better as time went on. Texts and required readings were useless. Very picky about words and labels.. pretty much have to write to what she wants to hear. Pretty easy class, but you gotta listen and write what she wants.

Because attendance was dropping, she decided to make the class hell for those that actually care by removing notes from UR courses despite students begging for another alternative. Try as you may, you will never get all the notes down on your own without the UR courses so don't take this class unless you enjoy stress and torture.

Tries to jam WAY too much information into one class. Gives out too many assignments and is not clear on what she wants. Expects you to know over 50 terms for the mid-term and only releases the notes DAYS before the exam. Talks as if we should already know everything. Many people are struggling or lost -- she doesn't seem to care.

About to write midterm tomorrow. Her study guidelines are all over the place. The potential essay questions seem like they're 300 level. 2 essay questions & a bunch of short answer for a 50 min test? I though I signed up for an introductory course. AVOID, its not worth it at all. I have friends in other INDG classes that are far less overwhelmed.

Passionate, knowledgable, and funny. A genuine person, and a strong, and caring person. She goes off on rants that aren't usually going to be test material, but interesting and relevant. Textbook didn't get used at all. One paper, two exams. Attend class, and study a bit, you'll do fine with this professor. She wants to see her students succeed.
