Notes. Lots and lots of notes; otherwise, you are doomed for failure! And, you better do A LOT of your own research, or you will fail her tests! Our class thought we did good on a take home test--and 95% got a C- or worse! Take her only if you must!

Really wanted to learn about the subject matter. But she was completely disorganized in presentation and there was a huge disconnect between her 'lectures' and her exams. Nice enough person but it seems like she is just trying to pick-up an extra paycheck on the way home to Oxnard from Venice where she teaches math at LAUSD. Take another professor.

She was 30 minutes late for a final the class rescheduled at her request. I missed one-half of one class (better than her attendance), but didn't qualify for her 'perfect attendance' 10% final grade boost. Overall, really disappointed in this lecturer because I took the class to learn about the subject but don't feel like the material was covered.

She's crazy. She's one of those teachers who wants her students to think for themselves as long as they think like her. She includes her opinions in test questions and is incoherent in terms of lecturing due to the fact that she TALKS ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE BUT THE SUBJECT. She'd be cool if she was a crazy aunt, but as a teacher she is lacking.
