She's really really really NICE! She's easy, too. She lets us use as many notes as we want on our exam. You have 2 exams, a research paper, and a final. She's very funny, intelligent, and laid back.

This class will be easy if you prepare ahead of time for test. Download her materials, type up your own notes and have them ready for (4) online test. She gives 3-5 hours for each test 50 to 100 questions, that will be easy IF YOU PREPARED. You will not find answers online. She drops lowest test score. Paper is easy min 600 word. Highly recommend!

Took her online class for History 2. She has 4 tests drops the lowest and an essay. The exams because they're only available for 3 days before they get shut down, she's not lenient either, I recommend having a planner to keep up with the due dates because I missed the time frame of one exam by a couple hours and she wouldn't let me take it late.

Prof. Sutter's class wasn't very enjoyable because her lectures seemed to drag. She wasn't very engaging, but most of her tests were easy to pass. We're usually given three attempts over the span of three days online. If I skipped class, I'd still receive the same test score because her PPTs are what you should reference, not her lectures.
