She is a very in-your-face kind of a teacher.She expects you to read your syllabus everyday and will not remind you of what is due or when the next test is. She makes you feel very uneasy and intimidated BUT her tests are easy if you study,I got an A and I didn't have to take the final.Take her at your own risk!

She is beyond rude. Don't ask questions, she won't answer them and will make you feel stupid! To me she even seemed ****.

She does not practice what she teaches. She assumes a lot about students and why they do or don't do things. I found her a little ****. You can get an A in her class if you: show up, do what she says and AVOID ever talking to her or asking her questions for she knows nothing beyond what her PowerPoint says. She's rude and stuck up So you can drop the class, ignore her, or avoid the class altogether. If you can help talking a better professor, then you should. Choose wisely.
