Class is very boring- reads handwritten notes from overhead (which are TYPED up on Bb).She is not very confident.Class is easy, just do hw (15 definitions a week, dont copy from def in back of book),tests were a joke...graded together as a class.Dont take if you want to learn.easy class can go 1x wk
Pretty easy class...But so boring! Plus, I think she only owns two outfits!
Dreadfully boring. Dreadfully unhelpful. In summary, dreadful.
this woman is probably the most horrible teacher i had in my life. her lectures are so unclear you just only need to print out the notes. but what is good about her is that she doesn't take attendance.
This is another teacher that I think people are much too hard on. I would agree that she was not confident and that her style of lecture could use some work but there is some actual knowledge to be gained by listening to this women. Not a class for slackers or the unmotivated but those who want to put forth the effort will get something out of it
very nice lady. can be unclear sometimes but she is willing to help you. tests are easy.

I think she's a sweet teacher, and good for labs. Her classes are filled with a bunch of kids that don't want to be there, and it makes the class painful. She's an okay teacher, but she gets a little confusing at times.
i thought this class was kind of hard until i realized you could have your book in your lap for tests and pass scantrons. so if you're against cheating, i suggest dont take dr. macgibbon. but if you're looking for an A in a science, go for it. she's really nice, very quiet and easy to convince that you DID turn in that homework assignment from 3 weeks ago :)
Poor Dr. Macgibbon... I always felt so bad for her. Students can be so disrespectful. If you are going to take her, yes you will get an A, no you don't have to go to class (but you MUST go to lab), and yes you can talk to your friends during tests and quizzes. But atleast have the decency not to make fun of her. Afterall, you'd all be ****ing if you didn't get A's, which you do, so lighten up a little. Atleast you dont have to go to class and then notes are always online for you.
Dr.MacGibbon is a great teacher, she's very intelligent and knows her subject well, she curves, and she counts your best exams twice, labs are a breeze, just show up to lecture, look over your notes, and you'll be fine, did I mention she's a sweetheart?
People need to give this lady a break. The material is boring, but she is not a bad teacher. No one ever goes to class, but if you go and listen you will learn. Tests and quizzes are extremely easy if you just read and look at the outlines.
The only problem you may have in this class will be caused by yourself. Lecture outlines are given ahead of time enabling focused reading and studying. Students are very disrespectful to Dr. Macgibbon. Talking in class, cheating, unappretiative of her knowledge. A respectful student will not have any trouble succeeding.
This class is very boring. She makes the material much harder than it has to be. The tests and quizzes are hard but the lab is easy and she grades on a curve.
Good teacher a little air headed very easy to cheat on all test and quizzes
Okay. I loved this professor. She has her quirks and a strong Australian accent, but she is an amazingly intelligent lady and I learned ALOT in her class. She has a very regimented syllabus, but if you care at all about educating yourself, you'll study, do well, and get an A. Go to the labs and the final review. I can't emphasize that enough.
what most everyone else said. she also curves a lot on her tests and one of them is dropped....i had a low D in percentage but with the curve it became a mid B. you dont ahve to go to class but it will make the tests and quizes easier just by listening.
hard course in general but i feel she makes it even more difficult. the problem is she is the only physics professor who teaches it so you HAVE to take her if you're a physics major. dont worry about taking notes its right out of the book
MacGibbon is very intelligent, almost to intelligent to teach a lower lvl course. Often no one goes to class and wonders why they do poorly on the tests. I havn't gotton my final grade, but the class has a large curve...pretty sure I got a good grade. Lab is often fun if you are interested at all in science. I heard that Albright is easier...
Earth science is a boring subject at best, but Jane made it so much harder than it had to be. she will cram the ENTIRE book into the semester, which makes for a lot of studying right before tests and quizzes. tests are on about 8 chapters, quizzes are on 4-5. but she grades on a curve and the labs are easy. lecture attendance sheets occasionally
horrible, horrible, horrible teacher. She doesnt teach!! at all!! she basically shows up and scribbles on the board for an hour and then we leave. Her lectures are so bad that i stopped going to class, i only show up to take a test or a quiz because theres no point.
Macgibbon seems to mean well, but she does not know how to relay the information to the students. It is so hard to pay attention in the class that I stopped going. All you need to do is the homework, and show up for tests and quizzes. Granted the material is hard, but it is possible to get an A without attending the class bc the teacher is so bad
DO NOT TAKE HER. She is one of the worst teachers I have ever had when it comes to lectures. She does teach it so that you can understand.
I dont want to be mean about it,but she IS the worst professor I have ever had. Yes she is intelligent and if you have the strength to listen through the wawawawa lectures, then yes you may learn something. However I survived because Albright was my lab teacher...take him and not Macgibbon. I dont care what sacrifice you have to make,dont take her
If you take her for Phy2049 than she is a pretty good teacher. She has a good homework and grading policy..if you take her for earth science..of course she is going to be boring...who takes earth science because they absolutely love the class?...she's a good physics teacher...also...calc/phyII is going to be hard no mater what teacher you have..
Mrs. MacGibbon is a very sweet lady, and she does all she can to help her students achieve the grade they deserve. She makes Earth Science a little harder than I thought it would be because she's so intelligent, but a good amount of studying will get anyone through the class. Curves are VERY generous and it is easy to "help yourself" during tests!
MacGibbon's Earth Science class is one of the easiest courses I have ever taken! As long as you keep up with the homework and print and read the chapter outlines, it is really easy to pass her course. To get an A though, you do have to take some notes and attend the lectures which are only 50-55 minutes versus over an hour, so it's not bad.
As a person she is very nice. As a teacher she is flat out awful. She lectures from from her notecards. Even when the notecards are right in front her she will still make major mistakes. If attendance wasn't mandatory I'd say going to class is pointless. In my opinion you'll learn tons more if you read the book.
She is the worst teacher I have had in my life! Her grading scale varies to accomodate the grades that come, and A can go as low as the mid 60's, I thought this was great at first but now I realize that it is pretty sad. She contradicts herself constantly, and she always goes over time. Just do the problems in the book and you'll understand.
This class is not for slackers, and she isn't the best teacher in the world. She lectures for the whole period and contradicts herself a lot. Quizzes are simple just go over notes. Tests are a little harder, so go over notes, HW, chapters, and quizzes.She also gives LOTS of partial credit fir really simple things.
She is the sweetiest person ever!! Such a good teacher..lab was super fun and easy
Professor Macgibbon is a really nice person. Her class is fairly challenging. She takes attendance and it's a whole lot easier if you print out the chapter outlines. Homework is pretty easy it just gets boring. The lab is a lot easier because of the quizzes. The tests are kinda hard...read the books, take notes and listen to the lecture
I think she is such a great person. She is reasonable, and understanding and very nice. The material is tough, but she grades verrry easily. Go to every lab. Attendance in lecture counts too. Overall, she's a great professor. I loved her
Dr. from Cambridge, super smart but dont take this class. she tries to fit the whole book in, very hard to pay attention to her talking. She would teach us chapters that we would be tested on at the end of class, we learned new stuff on the day of the final! save your self a headache and avoid this class
I never have ANY idea of what she is talking about. It's partially because of her accent which is a cross between Australian and British. Paying attention during her lecture is almost impossible because she rarely ever makes sense. She also wears the exact same outfit everyday without fail.
Nice lady, bad teacher. Strong accent. Doesn't give a study guide. One test is on 8 chapters. Doesn't give u enough time to copy down the power point. Tests u on things that were not in the power point or in the book. Quizzes you on material she taught the same day. Keeps talking even though class is over. Take Dr. Albright instead, he's awesome.
Holy Crap she is a fast talker... She does one chapter of the book a class and the tests are on about 7-9 chapters, depending on how many she gets through on the projected test date. She's nice. i thouhgt she was funny... for non-funny reasons. Attend class and Lab, things will be okay. If you have experience in earth science, you will def. be ok
Quite possibly the worst teacher I have ever had. Words cannot describe how bad she is. She is a waste of oxygen. She reminds me of Mary Poppins. She lives in Texas, works for NASA, but yet teaches at UNF. Something is strange about that.
She wears the same white skirt and either pink or blue shirt everyday! she is very difficult to understand and if you ask her a question she has difficulty understanding you. her grading is very easy but her tests are a bit difficult i thought they would be easy but they werent!
she really does know her stuff. shes passionate about her feild, these are the best teachers to learn from.
You have to get used to her awkward British accent, however, she is a great teacher and she posts up her powerpoints online for you to bring to class & write notes on. Tests are easy as long as you know the notes. You kind of have to have prior experience with earth science to fully understand everything.
she talks at a really high pitch and has a british accent.. you cover 24 chapters in this class, 3 tests, 8 chapters each.. she sucks, talks way to fast and covers a chapter a day if not more..you need to pay attention to her to get a good grade.. i skipped or tuned her out everyday and just read the book and got a B+
She does in fact wear the same white skirt and a pink or green shirt everyday, but she's just quirky. Her grading scale is hilarious. An 80 is an A-! Therefore it is pretty easy to pass with a good grade. She isn't very clear and her tests were so-so. Because of the grading scale, I'd reccommend her.
She's a good teacher. Just come to class and take notes. Her tests come from the lectures.
She is always behind where she should be and rushes through the notes covering over a chapter in one 50min lecture. Each test is 8 chapters of material and is very in depth. She is not fun at all and wears the same white skirt and orange shirt every day. She never lets class out on time either and continues to lecture 10 min. after.
very hard teacher. doesn't explain clearly. Mr. Albright is a much better choice. MacGibbon gives hard tests and doesnt teach you anything.
Grading Scale is very helpfuly! I didnt know what I was learning most of the semester and was barely averaging a C on my exams and ended up with a B+. Terribly boring class. Study the provided outlines and you will be fine. BRING YOUR LAPTOP...or you will die of boredom. If you want an A your going to have to read the book.
uses a sign in sheet at lecture but i still never go so she doesn't care much about attendance. lab with her is easy to BS just be nice to her and act like you're trying. shes way too overqualified to be at unf. im glad i took her i have a high B right now
Very Smart lady but bad teacher! starts tests late and the makes information very boring. I dont recommend taking her.
had her for esc2000Lab. shes a reeeally nice lady. but very boring and softspoken.her lab class isnt so bad tho. just go 2 class n show her ur doing work. she's incredibly smart too. i swear she should work for NASA or something. she explains things well so dont be afraid 2 ask for help. n she likes wen ppl have a sense of humor about earthscience.
She's intelligent but does not explain or teach well. She covers at least 6 chapters per test & expects you to know EVERYTHING in the chapters, which are dense. I found this class to be frustrating because of her teaching style. She's condescending when you ask a question and lectures can go on past class time. Don't expect to get out on time.
The course material gets harder after drop/add! Tests and quizzes are multiple choice and are relatively difficult. However, the grading is: 55 to pass and 83 for an A. And 30 of those are easy points: online homework and some other stuff. Attendance taken almost every day. She is moderately clear when she teaches, but students tend to talk a lot.
Her lectures are long and monotonous and she does teach past class time. Her tests cover 6 chapters at a time and are extremely dense. She does heavily curve the tests, but even so, the average in the class is fairly low. I took Professor Albrigh for Lab, and he's magnificent. If it weren't for him I may not have passed the class.
This lady is the devil. She extends her lectures past class time. There were 5 tests, all with about 30 questions. The tests are very hard even if you read the book, notes, and outlines. Takes attendance about every class. I would avoid her if possible.
avoid this teacher like the plague. class is so boring & attendance is mandatory. in my class she caught 38 students cheating & matched up everyones scantron. she has a bunch of free time on her hands. holds you till the last minute of class to go over lectures that no one pays attention to. hard tests even if you study.
Not a good teacher. Way over qualified for the job. Her lectures are very boring. This is probably one of the worst classes i've taken at UNF. She is absurdly obsessed with catching cheaters and will spend a lot of her free time coming up with ways people cheat in her class. She does give chances to improve your grade. Bring a computer to class!
shes just awful. avoid her and take albright, he's a great teacher and she isn't.
There's a problem with the way she zooms through the material without being concerned if students are following or paying attention. Nice lady though. Challenging exams, but generous curve -- you can still earn a C if you make a 55. Take this class if you don't mind self-teaching. That's how I survived. This is not impossible to get through.
This lady is in her own world. attendance sheet is used. HW is easy but tests are difficult. She does give a curve but without few would even pass the class.
Easy class. Horrible professor. Late 5-15 minutes everyday, but then expects you to stay beyond her allocated time. Wasteful with her time. Students usually leave after signing attendance.
I enjoy her lectures. I guess it helps if you have at least a mild interest in the subject. She does go through the material a little too fast. She arrives a little late but never goes beyond the allocated time, contrary to what others have stated.
She focuses more on attendance then on making sure the students understand the material. 95% of the time is late, and out of 16 weeks two times a week classes, only one class ended on time, every other class has surpassed the allocated time slice. Avoid if possible!!!
DO NOT TAKE THIS WOMAN! She is horrible! Very hard to concentrate on material. She has a British accent and rambles on after class is over. The midterm exams consist of 40 questions from 7 chapters! The final is only 60 questions and comes from the entire semester. If it was not for the curve, I would have gotten a low C or D.
She is extremely intellegent. You can learn a lot if you have any interest in the class. It really is not that hard, the tests cover about 7-8 ch's but they are very easy if you study a little bit. Other reviews make her sound awful, but I would recommend her and actually didn't mind the class other than her obsession with attendance.
Don't take this teacher. Exams cover large chunks of the book, but most questions come from the homework. B on the first exam but my homework really killed me, If I had done homework more might have had a high B. Still she's hard to follow, hard to understand. Try to avoid if possible.
She does know the material very well but can not explant that clearly to the students. Lectures always run over, I did better on a test that i did not study for. Final is over 20 chapters. very hard test. The answers to ch 12 hw would be on the slides to ch 14. this happend many times. please do not take her. please dont do it.
she does not know how to convey the material to the students. lectures always run over , final over 20 chapters. the answers to some ch 12 HW would be on ch 14 slides , this happend multiple times, thats why i did bad on hw. Test are very hard over 7-8 ch. she does not tell you what is important. it is a general course. do not take her !!!!
Easy grader and you can convince her of anything. She lectures for a while before lab and she doesn't make a lot of sense but you can get an A if you just follow the lab manual.
This was a gen ed course and it was hard! only 2 exams and a cummulative final. Tons of homework, each assignment is about 40 questions and they are hard. Got about an 80 average on the homework. It was impossible to ever get a 100. Lots of answers to questions aren't even in the book or on google. Big assignment due at end. Boring lectures!!!
If you sign up for her class, you will regret it. Seriously avoid her at all costs! She covers WAY too much information to retain and does not teach well! when it comes to attendance, if you miss more than 3 days you get 10 points deducted from your final grade. Also, the exams are ridiculous, even if you study
DO NOT TAKE HER! Worse teacher I have ever had. No matter what the situation is do not take her. She is so boring, so hard to concentrate in class. Does not put grades on blackboard, attendance is mandatory, and she does not work with you. Worse teacher ever.
Punch yourself in the fae if you signed up for her class. Her exams are worse then child birth, the homework is ridiculous and she is too smart. She is obsessed with attendance and isnt willing to work with you. She got upset when i got strep throat! Made my first semester TERRIBLE!
Don't take her. You will regret it. The attendance is mandatory. she flies through the lectures in class, and it's impossible to learn anything from her.
best part about this class is that an 80 and above is an A. Don't get excited yet. She's dead boring, her lectures are insufferable and mandatory. Who takes attendance in a lecture?! Not a fan, don't take her. She's too smart to teach a gen ed course. Tests are all homework questions though if you do take the class
She has a thick Australian accent and she put me sleep most of the time.
I took Basic Astronomy and it is HARD. I don't understand her lectures and she has mandatory attendance which she doesn't even take half the semester. I learn mostly from the book and online HW but the exam questions seem based off of her lectures. No study guide either, which helps since Astronomy has a lot of material to study.
I don't understand why students don't like the way Dr. MacGibbon teaches her classes. She tells you that her tests will be based off the lecture notes, so study them! She assigns homework and extends time if needed. Her tests are not hard if one reviews. The Mastering Astronomy homework isn't bad either. I'd take her again.
SO boring. She is a terrible teacher. Wed a sub the second week of the semester and I know more from him than an entire semester with macgibbon. trust me DONT TAKE
THE WORST TEACHER/PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER TAKEN IN MY LIFE! She is very intelligent, but has no idea how to relate it students. You will learn nothing. The only thing you will learn is how to cram information and plug them in onto tests. You will retain nothing. Absolutely awful. Avoid at all costs. You will regret taking her. DO NOT TAKE HER BAD BAD
The Physics I Lab is long and some of the labs are boring, but Dr. MacGibbon will review before each lab. There is a quiz at the beginning, but she will leave the formulas needed on the board and allow you to take as much time as you need. You can also ask her questions about the quiz if you don't understand it.
She is terrible at relating info to students. This class is abhorrently boring and the mandatory attendance policy is foolish for college students. We are adults not kiddies! There is so much homework. Use your allotted 3 absences and do something fun for that time period. In class, listen to music or watch a movie on. Nothing new learned.
Dr. MacGibbon lectures by shutting off all the lights except for the ones aimed directly at your eyes. She rambles on about random things not pertinent to the chapter and her lectures are not helpful to attend but they are mandatory. Her tests and homework assignments are not so bad if you study, but expect to do the learning yourself.
The class is easy all exams are based off of the online homeworks you have to do. If you study the homeworks for the exam you'll do fine. The class is boring in general no matter what prof you have. She lectures the whole class but if you don't understand or aren't paying attention it's fine because she posts all the in-class powerpoints online.
Dr MacGibbon is very smart maybe too smart to relate to students that are not on her level. Her lectures are almost all off the powerpoint took notes just to stay awake. Dostudy homework assignments that is what is on the test. Also she requires a photo assignment easy to do. 3 exams over the material all easy if you put in a little effort & study
Get ready for boring lectures. She takes attendance almost every class, but waits till the end so people cannot sign in and leave. She will clarify if needed, but in general you need to be able to study on your own for the tests.
If you want to keep your sanity and not loose sleep over the thought of every test do not take MacGibbon. Her lectures are mandatory and all she does it read word for word off the powerpoint (which are posted on Blackboard), so there is no point in going. Tests are like a different language compared to homework and what is taught in class.
She's a brilliant teacher and patient with her students. It just takes a lot to stay awake during class
Teacher is not only boring and ridiculously crude, but she also will not answer any of your questions via email. And if something you ask her is in the syllabus or she slipped it in during her boring senseless talk she'll call you out in front of the class as if everyone is an expert on her course. Wouldn't ever take her class again.
I would not take this class! Her lectures are long and boring and impossible to pay attention. She gives a lot of homework so be ready to spend hours on astronomy. Outside of class she is not helpful and does not provide study guides for tests and tells you to use the book to study. Get the book because you will be teaching yourself.
she gives you the most basic examples and not many at that, it's all from the book.
Brilliant woman, absolutely horrendous physics teacher. Her tests and homework are extremely difficult. Does not do any practice problems in class. Her lectures consist of her thinking out loud and writing random stuff on the board. Have to teach yourself everything. Hands down the WORST professor I've ever had. Avoid at all costs
Knows the material, cannot teach it.
Very smart professor who knows the material and is very nice, but horrible lecturer. Very unorganized and scatterbrained. Gives few examples so you are always left guessing what will be on on the exam. Do not recommend at all, unfortunately.
I was naive when reading these posts about avoiding this professor and I should have stayed away. This lady talks to herself for lecture and does no examples in class but expects you to know how to do the math. She can't teach and her tests are out to get you. More than half the tests are a few Multiple Choice with 8 options and no partial credit
Horrible. No, no, no. MacGibbon is an extremely bright and kind woman, knows the material like the back of her hand, but cannot relay the information well at all. She is a classic case of a scatterbrain and expects you to already be familiar with the material and field she is an expert in. If you don't, she belittles you. Beware!
MacGibbon seems to be knowledgeable on the subject, but does a horrible job at giving examples in order to reinforce the concepts. She expects students to be as knowledgeable as she is in the subject, which is absurd, considering us, students have never taken the class before. Highly would not recommend, but she is the only prof. for PHY 1041 #rip
Horrible. Shes knowledgeable on the material but only goes over concepts. Many people learn on how to apply those concepts by using examples & she doesnt do that. You have to get extra help outside of the class in order to understand some of whats going on in the class. Shes the only professor so good luck if you really need this for your major!
This professor is very knowledgeable in this subject. But she does not know how to properly convey that information to the students. All lectures are conceptual therefore no examples will be given in class. Tests are hard and you need to learn the material outside of class through tutoring and recitation sessions, some tests are based on sessions.
Seriously, if you can avoid her, do. I won't insult her intelligence; she's very smart. She's just scatterbrained and doesn't communicate her subject matter very well. She either spends way too much time on basic stuff or skates over complicated math. She is nice though, and will help you if you need it.
Although I love a good accent... hers is quite hard to interpret. Lecture for lab is about an hour and half and the look on everyones faces is of complete confusion. She does not explain the earth science topics in a way that we understand. Very scatterbrained and talks under her breath so you can not understand at all! And she says caveat, what?
She is very caring and very knowledgeable on the subject. She is understanding and will do her best to help. However she doesn't seem to know how to convey the material over to students properly. Grades are heavily dependent on tests however the material taught in class is almost completely different from the tests. Good luck!
I took her in summer to meet the Gen Ed lab requirement. She grades the labs based on participation, so as long as you turn something in you pretty much get a 100. Quiz in class every week of the material, she drops the lowest two. She lectures for over half the class, but other than that it was a chill, but boring, class.
Prof. MacGibbon was pretty cool. The class was somewhat difficult, but overall, it felt pretty fair with the material that was taught and then on the exams. She was really nice and cared about her students success.
Honestly DO NOT TAKE HER. I think right now she is the only physics 2 professor but she is so unprofessional and disorganized. We never know when anything is due because she changes the dates for everything. She does not follow the syllabus at all and her tests barely make sense. She does not explain things well and gets distracted during class.
The worst professor I have ever had. She once taught a lesson and told us she would go over how to find the angle later, and then proceeded to give us a quiz on how to find the angle. Gives five minutes on quizzes, expects you to know everything. You think you are failing until the end because of how her grading system is set up. Horrible.
i'm begging you, do not take physics 2 with this professor. i wish I had taken this course at fscj. this is hands down the worst professor I've ever had by FAR!!! she rambles to herself constantly and honestly is terrible at explaining things clearly. I've never had a class frustrate me so much. our first exam wasn't until the 11th week. what???
she is absolutely horrible at teaching. She mumbles 24/7 and im positive she forgets that shes teaching a class sometimes. Nothing she says makes sense and she dumps so much homework on you. UNF is doing us so dirty by making her the only teacher available for physics 2. Don't ever take her class unless you have no other choice. Good luck.
This Professor is the absolute worst at teaching and caring about her students. Impossible to get ahold of outside of class. Spends more time trying to catch people cheating than actually teaching the class. Just look at the scores on this site and ISQ. She not be teaching at all. She gave us our third exam and our final 3 days apart... Just run!!
Took her for physics 2 online. My only memory of her is the sound of her voice coming from her zoom profile picture which was a picture of the beach. Must turn the camera on for exams but she never had her camera on once. We would spend 20 minutes on a tangent and then run over every class. Worksheets were the only things that prepared me for tests
Don't take MacGibbon unless you absolutely have to. Lectures are 99% conceptual material and you never go over any actual problems. Each hw takes 4+ hours to complete, and is nothing like her exams.
Nice person, horrible teacher. Shes really scatterbrained and starts each class with thirty minutes of repeated announcements and tangents. Does give good feedback on tests but even with the looong homeworks and the quizzes, she based your letter grade purely on your test scores. Cant pass without SI (I didnt go but thats what I heard).
MacGibbon is easily one of the smartest profs. I have ever had, however, she does not know how to convey the information. She arrived late on exam days, gave INSANE amounts of homework, and did not end class when class was supposed to end. She is all over the place to say the least, with assignments due the same day she announces them.
the lecture doesn't make sense and doesn't give correct answers for, mastering so if you get the first part wrong cannot do the rest of it. talks quietly, doesn't put grades on canvas keeps it in her own personal gradebook.
Professor MacGibbon was the most accessible Professor ever. She went above and beyond to help me with my lab class. She is so caring and truly wants students to succeed. Professor MacGibbon spent so much time answering my questions, even nights and weekends. If you are struggling in her class, all you need to do is reach out to her.
Professor Macgibbon is unable to teach and assigns way too much homework. The lectures don't correlate with the homework, and the homework doesn't help with the exams. I walk out of class more confused than when I walked in. Avoid this professor if you can.
MacGibbon is the worst professor at UNF. She is at this time the only PHY 1 professor. She is inspirational because she inspires me to want to end it all in the middle of class. I heard she is retiring so thankfully the next generation will not have to be subjected to her malice. I cannot overstate how poorly she teaches and grades her class.
The class was easy, but I had many issues with my project partners, and she really didn't care. Her lectures are also unbearable. Would not recommend.
