She was a pretty fun teacher throughout the semester, until the last day-she totally lost it and she showed the side of her that comes out when she can't control everything to a T. A super-easy class, probably the easiest I've ever taken, high school was harder. Somewhat interesting.

Great teacher; probably the best for this subject. Very friendly and easy to get along with. She may not lecture out of the book, but she covers the concepts and get the class involved. Besides, we're adults and should be accountable for the info in the book, after all, it is the homework.

Cynthia is an amazing professor, I wish I found her earlier in my college career. She's very fun, upbeat, and will do her best to help any student out. She welcomes our opinions, and gets fantastic guests to come speak with us. Credit is given for attendance, but you'll never want to miss class anyways. Read, listen, and pass the class easily.
