Professor Metz is very funny in class and the practice tests are great. However she is a difficult grader, her tests are very hard, and homeworks are very lengthy. She doesn't go over the problems much, just skips to the examples and leaves you to learn.

I took Metz off the recommendation from a friend and would also recommend her to anyone else. Same grading system every semester, easy to understand. 5 Tests, 1 of which is take home, if you have less then 5 absences she drops your lowest test. Then there is a pre final and a final (50% of grade)

I have been in 2 of her classes and 1) She wont let you write notes at some points of the class which is not fair -I know how I learn best, not you. 2) She is very into herself- you are not a Dr. of Education, stop telling me how I learn. 3) Inability to complete homework = Fail. Dont even attempt.

Metz is a great prof. Even though she gives alot of homework, she gives these practice tests which are basically the real tests just with different numbers. She also gives a pre-final in which if u=you really do good on it and do so so on all the tests throughout the yr she will give you an A in the course.

I teach & had to take her class. I found her rude and abusive(i.e. yelling at students in class). Her grading system (taking points off if she didn't like the way you did the work) was suspect. She did let you use index cards with answers and formulas on tests and the final so if you were doing poorly you could still pass. Avoid her if possible.
