She's a student professor for Bennett Schwartz so the course was pretty much taught based off of his syllabus. 13 quizzes 20 questions in 20 minutes The quizzes were very tough She does drop the lowest 4 and there's a memory paper and extra credit I only passed because of her grade curve Wouldn't recommend unless you plan on reading all semester

This class was very tough. She is a student professor for Bennett Schwartz so all the quizzes and tests came from him. She doesn't communicate much with the students so you pretty much have to read and teach yourself. She does curve your grade at the end having to take a 20 question quiz in 20 mins was so nerve wrecking and caused me to fail a few

if you put in the effort you will get a lot out of both the subject matter and the interaction with the professor. She goes above and beyond in helping students with the course and with their future goals. She was very timely in responses and willing to answer questions. She also wrote awesome letters of recommendation for my grad school admissions

Professor Houston is a phenomenal professor. Yeah, she can take a bit to answer emails but she is beyond helpful and genuinely wants you to do well in the class. A lot of students complain about how you don't have a lot of time for the quizzes and this is true if you don't take the time to read and understand the chapter. Generous extra credit too!

U def have to work for grade and take great notes on experiments/results to pass 20 min tests but she's very fair, LOTS of extra credit, &3 out of 10 quizzes dropped.

She's nice outside of class. Real sweetie pie. Tried really hard to captivate the class with Star Wars and Pokemon stuff. But she barely came to class our semester; I can count on one hand how many times we had a full lecture. She gave good exam reviews though. Wouldn't take her again, but she's a cool person, really smart. Class is a breeze.

Dr. Houston is a phenomenal treasure of FIU. Her lectures are so memorable that it's easy to learn and digest the material within seconds. I have learned a lot in her consumer behavior course, which made me reflect and relate to the current events in real time, whether through trends and other forms of consumer psychology. Take her! Mad respect!

Such a great professor who actually tries to engage students, she's so nice and I highly recommend her. She barely gives any HW, literally just show up to class and listen. She's so funny and engaging in her lectures, take her if you can!

Very easy class. Just an essay to do every week which sounds bad but it rlly isn't. She's a lenient grader and responds to emails quickly. She also gives feedback showing interest in what u wrote. Her PowerPoint's were easy to understand and she was overall a very easy class. 10/10 recommend.
