She's pretty nice. Sometimes she starts lecturing in French and its like.... WHAT?! But then she repeats in English so its all good. You dont need the book for HW, because its all online, but its used a bit in class (you can share with a friend ;))
I recomend Prof Diraviam.Her homework is done online and the textbook is used alot in class. Overall she is great, she made french easy to learn for us "nonfrenchies" TAKE HER it will be worth the time.
Wonderful teacher, very nice, there is a LOT of online homework, spread out doing it over the time allotment, you will need to, book is used everyday, she makes it easy to understand and will always help you if needed. I recommend her to anyone.
TAKE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not regret it. She's loves her job and wants her students to succeed. I must say there is a lot of work to be completed but it helps you prepare for the tests. Its an easy class but its not an easy A. Great professor very understandable and extremely helpful. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a lot of work but it prepares you for the tests(are easy). Its an easy class but its not an easy A. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!!!!!!
The instructor was awesome. If you need to take beginning french, she is it! She is very easy to work with and is helpful. She makes the class interesting, even though we only met once a week. Being a blended class, you will have to study more, but worth it. Take the class.
Extremely helpful, and one of the best teachers I have ever had. She will really work with you and is passionate about what she teaches. There is a lot of work, but it is up to you to pace yourselves.
I had her for Italian Winter 2013. She is amazing. I love that she actually takes the time to go over things with you and is passionate about the culture. There is a lot of online homework but it's very easy. The tests are exactly what she teaches so you have to pay attention in class. I have actually learned lots of Italian this semester!!!
I took her WINTER 2013. Prof. Diraviam is one of the best professors at BC. She is passionate about what she does, and cares a great deal about her students. There is ALOT of homework but its pretty easy. No class work but we do use the book every day. Super clear in all instructions and sticks to her syllabus.Must take her! THE best!
She is an amazing teacher! Very passionate and helpful. There is a lot of homework you have to do but its to help you, especially on exams.
She's great - follows the Centro book and Homework very well. If you want to learn this is a great class and she's fun! Love love love! And if you can do the study abroad trip - DO IT!
She is very excited every day of class which was a better pick me up than coffee would ever be for me. She makes sure we all understand the language and the concepts. She keeps the students pretty engage with class participation and skits in Italian which sharpen our skill. I wish I could take her for all language classes!
She is great!! please take her, very passionate about her subject. Eccellente professoressa!
She is amazing! She is Italian so she is passionate about this subject. She is great at teaching, she makes you get involve by you saying the word or phrase. I loved professoressa so much! Take her! Take her! Take her!
Great teacher, passionate about her material. Online system is a bit annoying. Be aware of due dates.
Very helpful.
Domenica Diraviam is the best professor i ever had in this college
Come to class, do the work, and pass! She's super fun and a real gem!
She is the sweetest. All the teachers should be like her. She really cares about your success. Show up to class and do the work. You will receive your A. She won't give you a headache like other teachers.
She is a wonderful and passionate teacher. Take her. She is the sweetest. Do your homework and show up to class. You will be fine. She also gives motivational feedback which I really appreciate.
she's very outstanding and understands where everyone is coming from. She always tends to help everyone especially during these times
This Professor is someone who care about your education and wants you to succeed. She does give nearly daily homework, but that's something needed if you really want to learn a language. This course was switched to online due to the pandemic so the experience might not be the same for you, but I would surmise that it can only get better.
Professoressa Diraviam is an excellent Italian language instructor who really knows a lot about not only the course material but real-life knowledge about the culture of the language and more. Take a class with her and you will be inspired to do more with this language! I liked the course for part one and will be taking part 2 very soon.
She is a real memorable professor. The kind that makes you want to do more with your life. If you go to class and do the homework, you will get a good grade. Great online as well. Answer email in the time most people take to text back. Understanding of outside commitments.
This professor is one of the best language professors I have had. She really makes sure that every student understands the material and has the chance to participate in class. She does a great job incorporating her experiences and understanding of the culture into lecture. She is also very helpful and is accommodating if you have any problems.
Learning a language is difficult in general but this prof gives as many outlets for additional learning as she can and has a fair grading system. Also doesn't expect too much from a beginner so the expectations are not overwhelming. Just show that you are making a good effort.
She is always prepared for the class and makes even dedicates a good amount of time to answering your questions about homework or assignments. Definitely recommend, but you do have to also put in effort to get your work done.
Professor Diraviam is a real gem. She is passionate and enthusiastic about languages and in this case Italian. She made learning fun. She is clear about her expectations and works from the book. She creates opportunities for extra credit, and designed the course to be immersive. Definitely one of my favorite instructors!
Decent amount of homework but they help a lot for the lectures and assignments. The class overall is pretty easy and fun!
Professor Diraviam is the best. She will answer your questions whenever needed. She lets you know what she expects from you and how the class will be run from the beginning. Attendance is important. Lots of homework, but it is expected as you are learning a new language. Gives you opportunities for extra credit. I would take her again. Ciao!
she is great professor for a foreign language. very fun and upbeat. the class isnt boring at all she makes it fun. the class is easy if you pay attention and ask questions!!! she is very helpful and does alot fot the class
She is amazing! You guys will not regret taking her. She is caring, sweet, and understanding. She makes the class fun! There are lots of homework but she is willing to work with you if you are having a problem completing on time. It is impossible not to like her. As long as you try in this course there is no reason you should get anything but an A.
Very knowledgeable and helpful, highly recommend.
She is very friendly and teaches well
I am sorry that this class is ending and I won't see this professor in class any longer. She is caring, it is obvious she loves to teach, she goes beyond the language to share culture and regional information and food, sports, music, art, etc. Love this class.
Prof. Diviriam is sooooooo caring and understanding, I am going through a difficult time managing my time because I had a baby and she was very nice and gave me extensions to turn in missing assignments. She is always there if you need help and very sweet. I would definitely take her again.
One of the best I've had. Very upstanding and confident in her knowledge of the craft and invites the student to engage effortlessly. One of a kind.
Highly recommend taking Professor Domenica. She is great at teaching the language and really cares about her students.
She is possibly my favorite professor Ive had in awhile. She is fun and energetic during class, her instructions are clear-cut so dont get it twisted. You are learning another language so it can be hard but shes here to help you anytime you need her through email or if you stick around after class shell practice with you.
She is a good professor I definitely recommended her! Allora! Ciao.
Professor Diraviam is amazing! I can not say enough good things about her, you can tell that she really cares about the Italian language and cares about her students and wants them to do well. I struggled a bit with pronunciation , but Professor Diraviam was always there to help and returns emails pretty quickly. You wont regret taking her class!
The professor gives a lot of chances to get an A. As long as you submit work on time you'll do great.
she is a really good professor. Just a lot of homework.
For anyone taking Italian I would most definitely recommend this professor. She is an amazing teacher and she is really understanding. Do all your work on time and you'll do great in this class. One thing she is big on is participation so paying attention to the lectures is important.
Great professor.
Professor Domenica Diraviam is an amazing Professor who cares for her students. She explains everything you need to know to learn and prepare for quizzes and assignments. She also has class participation and extra credit
She is amazing! She is Italian so she is passionate about this subject. She is great at teaching, she makes you get involve by you saying the word or phrase.
STAN Professoressa, shes really is a true gem, shes so nice and caring this is my first language course without any knowledge of Italian. Im glad I took her, if not who knows what wouldve happen. If you hangout after class you can have a discussion with her and talk. Shes listens and is without a doubt a professor im going to miss.
She LOVES Italy and all things related to it. Not only does she teach the words, but also about the lifestyle so when you visit, you know what to expect. I loved every minute of her class and would definitely take it with her again.
Great professor! Studying is a must!
Great teacher! Keep up the good work.
Very good professor
What a fantastic instructor Professoressa Diraviam is. Her passion for the Italian language, culture, cuisine, etc.. really shines through with her teaching, you cannot help but be excited to learn. She is very clear with her expectations, and is truly a sweet person. Take her class, you will not be disappointed!
She's super cool and doesn't grade too harshly: I'd say "fair" is a good word. As long as you show up to class, participate, and do your homework, you'll actually learn and more than likely get an A. She does a really great job of not making you feel bad when answer something incorrectly, and I love that. I'd 100% recommend her as a teacher.
super personable
Likes to be engaged with her students and she really cares.
She is a great teacher. Her study plan is really well done. She explains every topic in order, she is very organized, it makes it easier to understand this new language. Her dynamic and the plan for the class is always good and clear. She transmits a good environment.
She's amazing!!! I learned a lot in her class. Grades very fairly and gives many extra credit opportunities.
Very compassionate, enjoys the general topic of Italy, and enjoys conversing with students. Allows extra credit. Very helpful.
I loved having Professor Diraviam. She was so kind, patient, friendly, and honest. Come to class you will learn alot. Would recommend everyone to take her Italian class 100%.
Realistically you just need to show up, do your homework on time, and pay attention to lectures. With those 3, this class is a breeze. The professor makes it enjoyable and she's amazing as a person too!
Professor Diraviam is the best professor here at Broward College and she's very kind, super friendly, and patient. She also gives many extra credit points for her classes!
Professor Diraviam is the best professor at Broward College, she is very kind, caring, patient and knowledgeable. She makes everyone feel comfortable. She even stays after class to help you learn more and be able to have a conversation in Italian. She also gives many extra credit opportunities!
This class is a language class, and learning a new language is never easy but this professor has taught me so much that will help me in the future. All assignments were easy to do and can be done ahead of time. It was always easy to ask a question, she explains things very well. There is a lot of participation involved in breakout rooms, it's fun!
Learning a new language can be intimidating, but Professor Diraviam has made this an easy journey. Her warm and positive attitude allows the class to feel comfortable during discussions and I feel comfortable with my pronunciation thanks to her guidance and instructions.
Prof. Domenica is an exceptional teacher. She is lively, patient, and encourages you to be successful! She creates a comfortability to speak, learn, & ask questions. She takes the time to make sure you understand the material and are not struggling. She genuinely has your best interest and growth at heart! Also she offers extra credit ! Love her!
The group breakout rooms were fun to interact with others while working on the classwork
Professor Diraviam is a fantastic teacher. It's very clear she loves to teach and makes learning a new language fun. Would recommend taking her. She expects you to do your homework and put in the effort but as long as you do you should do well. So sad she isn't teaching Italian 2.
great teacher who enjoys sharing her knowledge! put in the effort and you will do great she is an awesome teacher / person you will enjoy this prof.
Professor Diraviam is absolutely incredible! She is super helpful, fun, and an overall wonderful professor. Taking a class at 7:30 is not a fun thing to do, but Professor Diraviam makes it super enjoyable. Learning a new language is always difficult, but having Professor Diraviam as your instructor will definitely make things easier. Take her!
Great professor, very helpful and kind. The class overall is fun and getting to know other students and practice communication with them is great.
Prof, Diriviam is awesome, she does not grade hard. Show up to class, participate, do home works and quizzes and you will pass the course. Breakout rooms are fun and educational. I would definitely take course again.
I would rate Professor Diraviam among the most caring professors Ive ever had. This course is like all others in that you get out of it what you put into it! If you do the minimum or nothing at all, you will not only not learn the language, you could fail! The work is not too hard, its just a lot. I would take this professor again in a heartbeat.
I enjoyed the interactions and the demand for us to get intertwined with the Italian language and culture.
Professor Diraviam is extremely friendly and really cares for her students and their understanding of the course. I had a really fun time in the zoom meetings and she made learning Italian fun and easy.
This class has been the most fun Ive had at broward college. I loved how Professor Diraviam really cares for her students and wants everyone to succeed as well as her being extremely friendly and asking how everyone is doing.
She is very patient and caring. Attending and participating is very important to pass. There is a lot of homework but its all in the textbook.

She is very strict but very caring and helpful as long as you ask questions and do the work she will help you succeed.
She is very understanding of her student's needs, and is very willing to work with you so long a you communicate. The work itself is very straight forward as long as you attend class you will have all the information you need!
Shes a wonderful professor and wonder French linguist. I honestly love and recommend her to anyone who wants to pass French 1!
I love her but omg, PLEASE be aware that she assigns a lot of work. Session 2 is not good for ANY language course, but Italian IS WORSE. She is very nice and helpful but the work load from McGraw hill is long and tedious. If you take her class, make sure you PACE YOURSELF. Grammar matters MCGRAW HILL IS YOUR ENEMY. Also test are proctored.
Professoressa Diraviam is amazing her passion for teaching is unmatched she creates a environment within the classroom that makes learning fun which is needed due to learning a new language can be nerve-racking at the times shes undoubtedly is my favorite teacher I have the luxury of encounter not only within Broward college but within my lifetime
-Very interactive -Helps students if you don't understand the material -Lots of Extra Credit opportunities -Puts it in your hands to succeed.

She is very caring and patient. Give a lot of extra credit. Very respectful, Show up to class and participate, you will have at least B. Not so hard it's a 4 credits class. Take her you won't regret it.
Professoresa Diraviam takes her time teaching Italian. Like any foreign language, as long as you pay attention and take notes, you'll be fine. By week 6-7 the coursework will mostly consist of Italian. Homework is fairly easy (about 4 assignments per week with spread-out due dates) and she gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit.
She is very caring and patient with her students.
She is so understanding and caring for her students. Her class was a bit difficult for me yes, but she is always willing to help.
Ms. Diraviam is a really nice and kind teacher who loves her students and helps everyone in the class be able to pass her class. She does her best to involve everyone in her lessons and makes sure no one feels left out or behind.
Best Italian professor ever! She sends a lot of homework, but it is expected when learning a new language. She gives a lot of extra credit to make up for low grades. Dedicate to this class and you will get an A!!
Prof. Diraviam manner of teaching is so wonderful and refreshing!! Shes patient and supportive, but really knows how to motivate her students. Shes great at building confidence and keeping lessons fun and engaging through a variety of activities that improve conversation, writing, and reading Italian.
Professor Domenica Diraviam is an excellent teacher and really cares for her students. Personally, Italian is not an easy language; but she does help you and gives SO MANY chances for extra credit! Her class is fun!
Professor Diraviam has been a great language teacher. She makes sure her students are learning by making us all participate in each class which is perfect because what better way to learn and understand than to express ourselves in the new language with the help of the professor. I will be taking her Italian 2 course next semester and I am excited!
Professor Domenica Diraviam is an amazing, knowledgeable, caring, and Inspiring. She opens your mind to learning about a different culture.
She is an amazing teacher, very caring, very nice, and extraordinarily helpful. I took the class because I needed a language class, but I would love to take her class again. She is a wonderful professor. If her class has availability definitely take her class, you will not regret it I promise. Probably best and nicest teacher at BC
Professor Diraviam is one of the best Broward College professors I've had. She is very funny, caring, and understanding when it comes to her students' grades, participation, and success in her class. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, and it is quite to hard to fail her course. Would recommend anyone to take her!
it's blended so everything you do is online - She is very nice and will help you with any questions you have, she will work with you but you have to ask first, don't expect to take a lot of notes in class but keep up with the online work - you can fall behind very quickly
She gives homework and practices, she is patient, and gives a lot of extra credit. She is respectful, if you want to learn and pass with an A show up to class and participate. It is a fun class you learn a lot, and if you love the Italian language, not so hard for a 4 credits class. You won't regret it. You will be able to learn if you study.
My instructor is amazing. She is very understanding and patient with her students. Although she requires a lot of studying, she does make the coursework easy to understand. I really enjoy attending her class. I highly reccommend taking her!
Professor Diraviam has to be one of my favorite professors I have met. She is extremely caring and is willing to make sure you will succeed not only in her class but in life in general.

Teacher Domenica is amazing! I recommend her for anyone who wants to learn a language from scratch
Very caring
Prof. Domenica is fantastic. When I started this course I felt a little overwhelmed but she reassured me and finds great ways for students to practice Italian in class. The homework can seem like a lot but if you plan ahead you will get great practice instead of stressing about exams. She is amazing at teaching material and is very caring.
I enjoy this class, learning a new language is not easy, but the professor assures she understands your needs to help each individual at their unique pace. The class is helpful as we work with partners and get to practice the Italian language. The professor is understanding and loves what she does, she is a great motivator.
Domenica gives a lot of homework and practice, she is patient, and gives a lot of extra credit. , definitely to pass with an A you must show up to class, and participate. It is a fun class you will learn a lot, and if you love the Italian language, she is the teacher for you. You won't regret it. You will be able to learn if you study.
Very knowledgable professor. Engaging and fun class. Student interaction for better learning a new language.
Domenica is a lovely professor! As soon as you walk into her classroom she is always positive and cheerful. Furthermore, she always makes it safe and comfortable to ask any questions and is very pleasant. Also, she offers many extra credit opportunities and the homework/class work are average and simple if you pay attention. Highly recommended!
Professor knows the Italian language at higher level, I will take Italian 3 if there were a class. You need time to do all the assignments, almost everyday one is due. So you must comply and commit to this class and you will be graded fairly.
Domenica is a very caring Professsor! She made learning the language super fun and i loved every second of her class. She loves to have the students involved which really helps in the long run. She is a fantastic professor, she always made it so that we understood the language! I highly recommend taking this course!
Professor Domenica really knows what she is doing and if you are interested in learning Italian, you will do it in this class
Amazing class!
Amazing class!!
Excellent professor. She is so caring.
Professor Diraviam class is actually really good. You will actually learn Italian. It is homework heavy but as long as you stay on top of it in D2L you will do fine. She is very approachable and nice. There is no way to fail this class, unless you just do not do the work. You can always ask her for extra help and there is a ton of extra credit.
Great Teacher, cant wait to return for Italian 2 next semester
This professor would take your opinion and would help you through your learning in a really good way
Very good professor, would definitely take it again attendance is mandatory, but some classes are online.
Professor Diraviam is inspiring with her passion for foreign languages and teaching. All students participate in her class activities, and have their questions answered in person or through D2L. Great feedback, fast grader, and many opportunities for extra credit. I highly recommend her!
Professor Diraviam is someone who truly cares about her students and what she teaches. Her class is very engaging and has plenty of extra credit opportunities. There is quite a bit of homework, but it definitely helps with learning a new language. I would definitely take her class again.
Professor Diraviam is a fair grader. When it comes to lectures, she is punctual and starts class on time so get there early. But overall I had a fun time with her class. She engages with the class in activities and sends reminders of when there is a discussion due or homework. Would recommend it to anyone trying to take Italian.
Professora Domenica is one of best! The class was fun and she made learning a new language easy. There are no exams, but a lot of homework so stay on top of due dates. Also, she provides multiple extra credit opportunities which are extremely helpful.
This class was tough for someone learning their first language from scratch (not including their mother tongue). You're on such a time crunch, it's intimidating if you are slacking. You'll start to get left behind if you're not on top of your work.
Professor Diraviam cares so much about her students. She provides many extra credit opportunities and grades things fairly. Normally have two to four assignments per week, so the workload is not insane. I highly recommend taking her course if you are looking into taking Italian.
HIGHLY recommended. She is passionate, knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. This class was in person and I always looked forward to going to class. You won't regret taking her course, she is amazing!
For the future students of the class, if you can help it do not stop studying not even for a day. Communication is vital in the class along with taking notes. Don't be afraid to ask classmates for notes. Italian is simple, but challenging and that's why it is interesting. I would recommend Professor Domenica %100.
Domenica Diraviam is a great professor. Her lectures are very engaging and you are likely to learn a lot of Italian. I would love to have her again.
Great professor very helpful. Would recommend 10/10.
Professor Diraviam offers many opportunities to improve your grade with extra credits which also adds to the learning process, and provides a good feedback. She encourages everyone to participate in class, creating a friendly environment in the classroom.
Proffessor Diraviam is one of the very few teachers at Broward that actually care about their students, inside the classroom and outside. I have taken both Italian I & II classes with Proffessor Diraviam. If you pay attention, do the assignments, participate there is no way to fail this class. Plus she gives ton of extra credit & there are NO test!
Domenica is a teacher who I would like others to be like. she always tries to help whoever requests it responsibly according to each need. An outgoing teacher, she makes classes fun and, at the same time, makes learning easier. Always use different tools so that our knowledge is more accessible. I always recommend her because she is amazing.
PROFESSOR DOMENICA IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS EVER. SHE CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS AND THEIR GRADES. HER LECTURES ARE AMANZING AND FUN SHE GIVES A LOT OF EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES. DEFINETELY 100% RECOMMENDED.
awesome teacher
I really liked learning from her
Great professor! She is really cool and the clases are awesome
Professor Diraviam is very nice and helping, so glad I took her class, I will be taking Italian II.
She gives a lot of homework since the class takes only two months but they are easy if you pay attention, and the discussions are significant for your grade.
Beginning Italian 1 Blended, which is an easy class.
She was a very good professor that listened to the students, and overall the course is easy if you attend and and participate.
There's a normal amount of homework. To succeed, you need to study and take time to learn. It is a new language after all. Mrs. Domenica is one of the loveliest teachers I have ever encountered. Believe it or not, I took her last year and unfortunately failed due to working and studying full-time. I chose to take it again, and I am so glad I did.
Absolutely wonderful professor. Genuinely cares and, so long as you do your part, you will learn!
Professor Diraviam really cares about students and periodically sends a note of appreciation to students who are very committed or passionate. I fell like I learned a lot because I could meet with her and go over homework. It was the best scenario for an online language class.
She is so caring in the face of inconvenience. Very understanding professor that knows what she's talking about.
Professor Domenica is one of the best Italian instructors I've had. The class has a normal workload, but attending and participating is key to success. I used Unstuck AI and found it very helpful for studying and preparing.
Italian one was more difficult than Italian two but overall professor Diraviam is great and I would highly recommend. Lots exams in Italian one but none in Italian two. Her course work can seem intimidating but isn't so bad. Easy to reach out to and offers lots of extra credit. Take her class!!
I took Italian 1 with Dr. Diraviam, she's great. She's very nice and easy to get along to. She's enthusiastic and friendly. She is a tough grader but gives good feedback. She puts you to work with another student to make videos. Any questions or concerns you can email and she responds promptly. I will be taken her again for Italian 2.
Professor Diraviam is a kind and helpful Italian teacher. She explains things clearly and is always patient with her students. She makes learning Italian fun and gives good examples that help you understand the language and culture better. If you ever need help, he's always willing to take the time to explain. I appreciated how encouraging she was.
She is a good teacher and pretty easy grader, if you do the work on your own and put in effort. She is very understanding and lenient with fixing mistakes. I took her for Italian 1 and I am taking her again for Italian 2.
great professor! lots of extra credit opportunities that can save your grade. no group projects, but you will have to do paired video assignments with another classmate. definitely would take this course again :)
This professor was understanding and communicative, look out for due dates obviously, participation and group assignments are important for your grade, but it is simple if you read the textbook online. Overall, this professor is great, I recommend taking her class.
She is a great professor and makes everything about learning a new language a little easier. I loved getting her feedback to help me learn!
Professor Diraviam is an outstanding language instructor. Her lessons are clear, and she is always willing to help! There are no proctored exams, there is a lot of homework assignments via Connect, there are several discussion post assignments and you will be required to do multiple paired video assignments with a classmate. Take this professor!
Professor Domenica Diraviam made ITA1120 an engaging and rewarding experience. Her passion for Italian, clear teaching style, and supportive approach helped build my confidence and understanding of the language. She created a positive learning environment and made the material accessible through interactive and culturally rich lessons.
The professor demonstrates strong professional abilities through her clear teaching style and effective communication of the material. She is very willing to work with her students and genuinely wants us to retain not only the language but also the cultural background and mannerisms, as if preparing for a trip to Italy. She is truly great.
She's a good teacher! She's pretty easy going and genuinely one of the easiest online classes. If I put in a little more effort in some of my class work I would have a better grade just was busy with work and juggling school at the same time full time.
I took this professor for both ITA1120 & ITA1121. One of my favorite professors thus far as an online student. Professor Diraviam was helpful, easy to communicate with, and considerate. She responded in a timely manner to emails, provided clear instructions, offer extra credit, and gave valuable feedback. I would choose her again and again.
She is the best italian teacher to learn for from a professional level and beginning level take her
She's has been a pretty good teacher and easy going as well. This has been one of the easier online classes I have taken, especially during the summer session.
The professor doesn't give feedback at all. If you want to take this course be prepare to learn by yourself. If you really want to learn italian I would recommend you to skip this class and just buy a book and do it yourself. She didn't teach anything, no feedback, takes forever to respond to email, Oh, the book used is McGraw Hill
Great Professor, Class was easy just have to do assignments .
Would take again.
Very sweet professor, responds to questions and emails in a timely manner. Assignments, quizzes, and videos are fair
She is very reasonable and considerate. My level of success in this class came mostly from my time dedicated to it. You can absolutely get a good grade on this class and there are plenty of extra credit opportunities. You just need to use all the tools provided. Truly feel it to be hard to fail this class.
This is my second time in her class. She makes all material as simple and straight forward as possible.
