Strongly suggests what you should write on this site and reminds you to put that she's hot. That should tell you something right there and why comments are the same. Like she's always trying to win a popularity contest & it gets old fast. Agree with other post that it's like a comedy routine. Take someone else if you want to learn something.

I really did not like this professor. She really did not teach me anything other than just throwing a book at me and not even giving me specific things to study for the tests. She did not turn grades back in timely manner and usually did not explain a grade earned. It also turned out that the info for the test was not even on the lesson material.

She's one of the realest professors I've ever taken. Funny and blunt but she does her job pretty well.I didn't do so great for the exams but did okay on the rest of the work and got an "A".Read the BOOK! The slides help a little but you'll need to thoroughly read the texts for the test.Just do the work, and DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON THE READINGS!
