I'm taking her right now at Willow. We've had 2 tests and I got an 87 and an 89, reason being that most of the test is on her lecture/notes with some randomness from the book that I just seem to miss, but that's my fault. Her class is easy but she spews her opinion like fact and that bothers me. She has called other peoples ideas "stupid".

Dr. Wallace is the best professor I have ever had. She had a great impact on my college experience and life in general. She truly cares about her students in and out of the classroom. She will go above and beyond for you, her classes are truly the type where you get what you give. I found myself excited to show up to her class.

I'm not sure this professor is literate. If you submit a paper she may tell you it is missing something that is clearly included. It didn't impact my grade personally but I've seen it done to others. She really is a terrible teacher with no attention to detail.

I learned all of the concepts in high school, but for some reason I didn't do well on her tests. All of the tests have 50 true or false questions, which is very annoying. Also didn't have much to do with the lectures, so it didn't make sense why I had to go to class. She at least gave a HUGE extra credit opportunity worth up to 100 points.

This was a very easy class, consists of 3 exams and a final. Gives 2 assignments per week, as long as you complete the weekly assignments posted, you will pass the class.

The class overall wasn't necessarily hard, but Professor Wallace makes some things difficult. First her canvas is a complete mess with previous years assignments.Her lectures have almost nothing to do with the exams so theres not a big incentive to go to class. Some of the things she says might rub people the wrong way in a political sense/

Please do yourself a favor and take someone else for this class. She is extremely unhelpful when you go to office hours and she has a very condescending attitude. She gives you 50 minutes to answer 55 q's on tests and 5 of those q's have 10 matching q's within them so it's basically 100 q's in 50 minutes. Beyond ridiculous for an exam.
