Grade: Not sure yet
Mar 15, 2025

She does not allow anybody to be confused. When the students in my class came to complain about her miscommunication (about assignment due dates, etc.), she would refuse to say anything about it. Teaches us the same exact things too. Even if she's your last resort, you would NOT want to be in her class.

horrible old granny professor. trust me if u wanna take her, try if its last resort, cause the assignments and tests are take home and u can type the essay and use resources *wink wink* and print it on paper and give it to her, shorty wont even know, but other than that she's really weird starts fights and is picky for no reason.

Unprofessional and condescending. She is nasty towards students for no reason.

She hands out "F's like candies" - like someone said before. I had A's for all the assignments and attendance but she ended up giving me a C+ as a final grade..like how does that even make sense.
