I had fun taking this class. Flannigan expects you to do all the work, and if you do you will be fine. The tests are on exactly what you learn in class and if you apply yourself you should do great and get an A! I even had fun doing the access project we had to do at the end. She is excellent!

Tedious. Spends more time on insignificant topics and rushes through difficult concepts. She is way to interested in telling you about herself and her 'success' stories. Gives so much homework - little time to digest concepts. If you can't follow what she is doing in class hands on... to bad. Very tedious. Treats students like children.
