Overly controlling and obviously distrustful of her students. Is the only instructor not willing to release grades immediately after submitting in the online format.

Great instructor! Pretty, funny, and so sweet. She gives easy extra credit quizzes that boost your test grades 5% and drops the lowest test grade.

If you have time to switch classes, then do so. If you do not, be ready to fail because she speeds through lessons and is strict with tests and grading. The only luck you will have with her is extra credit sometimes and wiley plus to learn on your own because she wont examples off that.

Dr. M was a VERY good teacher. I am a bio major, and don't care about this at all. I barely did anything. She reviews for tests. Pay attention in class. "Accounting is not rocket science."
