There is not enough information available about Unit quizzes and other exams in this class. Basically we are a given a book and told to go and figure out everything on our own in a four week class. There are no quizzes at the end of each chapter but instead Unit quiz after each unit. On top of that no practice materials available.

In her online class, she does little to no communication with her students and does no teaching herself. Her tests have very specific facts that are not always mentioned. Takes unnecessary points of when getting a minor mistake on problem sets. Takes points off of something that she didn't state beforehand. You don't learn much in her online class.

HORRIBLE! Basically a self-taught course and prof. isnt helpful. Hours of textbook reading a day. Quizzes every week, so very little time to read and study. This would not be a problem if READING THE TEXTBOOK AND STUDYING ACTUALLY HELPED! No matter how hard you try, still hard to pass. Wouldnt recommend if you want to actually learn something.

Took her class last summer, hated it. Long boring lectures and can be rude. Goes on long tangents about random things. Tests do not correspond to some of the things she says. Tells you to buy the textbook but only half of what you read is on tests. Tests can include things not in lecture or textbooks. Grade is made up of tests and attendance.

I'll focus on 3 areas. first, I didn't like how the lass was completely online, but there was not even one zoom meeting where we could talk to her. Secondly, in the tests and quizzes some questions you wouldn't know if you just read the textbook. She was also passive aggressive in her emails. This was my first college class, so maybe this is norma

Professor Zandvliet is super understanding and a great lecturer. I will be honest, I don't use my textbook, but that is because her teaching in class is sufficient. As long as you take notes you will be fine on the tests. She gives four assignments and four tests, so it's not stressful for her students. She is a super considerate grader.

She doesn't reference the book almost at all, but lectures on concepts from the book and she modifies them to her teaching style. The book helps a lot in the class.

Most uncompromising teacher ever. Grades work with minimal feedback, & even then a good portion of it is input by test software. Throws textbook at you; occasional reminder about due dates. Quizzes are 35 minutes for 30 questions, to analyze data & compute (random little facts from book interspersed), w/ no references/pointers on what to focus on.

Took this class for the 16-week semester. The professor doesn't really communicate that much with the students. You are pretty much left to fend for yourself. The first week, the professor emails everyone about the deadlines, then, they end up ghosting everyone and you are supposed to look at the syllabus for due dates. Found that out 3 weeks in.
