She was very clear on how the class was laid out. Very nice, Great personality. Gives practice quizzes before every test that are very helpful and leads you in the right direction of what to study. Very upbeat, fun interesting class. Gives optional extra credit that makes it almost impossible to not get an A. Lecture notes are online, just print em

Wants only success for her students, and will go out of her way to try and make that possible. She would even post videos on blackboard, the main key points to each chapter, and you could just go to BB, watch the vid over what you missed & learn the NEED-TO-KNOWS.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mrs. Kopecky, she is an amazing professor. 3

This class was fun and low stress. The concepts are easy to learn. She doesn't penalize you for attendance but it's easier to just go to lecture than pick through her online notes and the textbook. She is very nice, gives extra credit. You don't have to do a project if you test well. The wording on the multiple choice test can be a bit ambiguous.

Her tests are based almost entirely on the lectures, with one or two textbook questions thrown in. She will always answer questions and simplifies the material so that's it's very easy to understand. Extra credit for every test from bonus questions and for attending the next lecture. You have to try to fail.

She is super nice! Ive got B from her class because my English is my second language. I would have a C but I asked for to do extra work to get a B. So I wrote 5 pages of the essay, first draft was bad, then I fix it so I got 95 of that. She is willing to help individuals and stayed after class to talk to you.

I throughly enjoyed this class. The bulk of material you need is in lectures. Attendance is optional but if you miss, you miss A LOT of information and she only goes over what will be on the test. ALSO there is no homework ONLY tests. If you have trouble understanding something, she's great at explaining and helping you understand it better.
