Very bad. She is rude and treat students as if they are all stupid. Her multiple choice exams are very confusing and only her knows their meaning. That is why students get a low grade for his class and then she always has to turn 48 to 80. You will just pass the class and learn nothing. Avoid her if you can. She is like a Cartoon!

I regret to be in this class. Her questions are confusing. if you try to cheat, you may not get the answers right. You will have a bad score and then she will give you extra point as if she favors you. She is also impulsive! I strongly discourage someone to attend her class. She used to saying shut up! to students if they say a word in class.

I took the class online. The weekly assignments demanded a fair investment of time, but I was able to get away with less and less work as the semester went on.

Internet class: She only responded to two discussion boards, so you have no idea if you understand due to lack of feedback.

One third of your grade is group papers, and if you get stuck with lazy students it effects you since you do twice the work.
