Extremely easy. I didn't even go to class 90% of the time and got A's on all the tests simply by looking over the study guide for an hour. She dropped our lowest score, (which in my case was my attendance grade). She was also very leniant about making up exams.

Personally she is nice, but her class sucks,at least this one. She reads from the pp slides which are poorly written.

Probably the only good thing about the class is the class discussions which are student generated.

Amazing prof, although attendance isn't mandatory, extra credit is offered once in awhile for days with low attendance and if you show up most of the time and are on the cusp of a different letter grade, she'll round up. Always teaches interesting material, very kind, gives study guides for tests, so study, and you'll most likely get an A.

Dawn is the bomb, she does not require a textbook for the class all powerpoints are on bb. She gives out study guides that you fill in from notes and they are the test. She takes attendance once and a while to fulfill her participation requirement. Great teacher/class easy A

Dawn is a really cool person. Her class is super chill, but it was almost so chill that I forgot that I needed to show up for class. She does take attendance even though she never went over it in the syllabus. There are only a few assignments and for the most part, they were pretty easy.

I can't recommend her enough. Her class was beyond enjoyable to attend. Exams are based off of the study guide she MAKES you. Comes to class, listen, and enjoy the fact that you get to hear from this inspirational person. This class is FAR from difficult. I would take it again if I could.

Dr. Aliberti has intriguing stories about herself and others that are relevant to lectures. She is approachable and easygoing. The benefits of her being chill: 1. you wont have to make up lies about absences or late work. 2. Timewasters dont feel obligated to talk or show up, so discussions are enhanced.

I loved going to her class and hearing all of her stories. There is no textbook, so it is important to take notes and use the study guide. The study guides are basically the same as the exams, and all the answers are easy to find in the powerpoints. She keeps class interesting and I'd recommend her to anyone!

She is a very good and respectful professor. Her slides are what you need to study from to do well on the exams. Her HWs and discussions are interesting and easy grades as long as you do them. The HWs and discussion requirements are maximum to write a paragraph. Three exams total and either an HW or discussion weekly.

Dawn was a very kind and fair instructor. I enjoyed the class and she had plenty of life experience and examples for the content. Assignments were straightforward, grading was fair, and she was always willing to clarify or expand upon any lessons if needed. She also frequently reminded the class what assignments were due and when.

Personable, understanding intelligent and funny. Tells some funny stories from traveling. I suggest going to class for the class discussions. You will have to read a lot on your own. Her tests are online and multiple choice, answers in order of the textbook. Gives an assignment every week. Cares about her students and develops class around students

Love this professor, wouldn't take this class again. It was reading the whole textbook, discussion boards, quizzes and tests. I did not enjoy this class, it was too much to read and the textbook had a lot of hard-to-understand language. Had Dawn for in person classes for a different course and loved it. Take her in person, not online.
