Here are a few tips:1.First of all, when you have in class writings, just see how fast you can write because it doesn't matter, she will rewrite it for you anyways, don't waste your time. 2.Second, be sure not to make eye-contact with her, if you do, she'll never stop.3.Don't laugh, she's not funny.

Professor's attitude was far from charming. She's a bit like a corporation with about 100 rules which she will repeat and reiterate for the first 3 classes. We ended up doing a lot of group "projects", which were fillers and could have been solo! My love for english got me a good grade, and I feel bad for anyone not good at writing. Pass on this!

First day of class she seemed like she would be a good professor but as the semester went on you come to find out she is far from good. She has a million rules which in my opinion i think are stupid and she has no compassion for any one. You can be dying and let her know about it and she will still TAKE OFF point of your average. Don't take her.
