Overwhealming professor. I suggest if you take her do not take anymore classes or don't go to work. Too many projects, and she's just so vein, you don't even know where to start from. I asked her to help me one day, but i never got any help from her. Her projects are way too confusing.

Wasted so much time on a single project instead of really studying the core material. If you have real world problems that come up, like medical issues, dont expect any sympathy or willingness to work with you. She doesnt do things the way the book does, and you loose points if you follow the book.

Judith is great. She DOES explain things well and is always willing to go over things as many times as you need. People only say bad things about her because her class is work intensive, and they're lazy. If you come to class, do the work, and ask for help you'll get at least a B. The tests are hard but she'll help if you ask her.

Judith is the devil walking among us. She is probably the most overkill prof i have ever had. She makes everything 10x more difficult then it needs to be, and thinks she is doing a great job - meanwhile people hate her class and the way she teaches. She obviously doesn't know how students ACTUALLY learn and refuses to give anyone a break.

Judith has a very scattered way of teaching. In lectures her examples are all over the board and her course packet was formatted in such a way that it was impossible to follow. If you prefer a structured class, she isn't the professor for you. The final exam is much different from the 1st exam and much more difficult. Be prepared to teach yourself.

She uses an online tool when you submit your notes on canvas to check for plagiarism. I used my own words and examples (even numbers) but gave me a high score for plagiarism. I assume the only things I "plagiarized" were just using the vocabulary words in the book, but i had to put those words there to at least indicate what Im talking about.

The material itself is easy but understanding Judith's lecture was hard. She goes back and forth through things. I had no knowledge beforehand, so most of the time I was a bit confused about what she was saying. The "notes" are more like questions to see if you read the book and understand the material. The class is okay, just a lot of self-study.
