Truly the best teacher I've had at Wolfson. She knows what she's saying and always backs it up with current facts. Really goes through the material and the only hw is on connect so no need for a textbook. She's likes telling stories and has great humor. If she's available definitely pick her over anyone else.

Hard to fail this class unless you do not show up. She gives you the exam review way before the test so you know what will be on the test instead of copying every slide. Homework is a must but it is easy just tedious. Exams are very simple multiple choice with extra credit questions at the end. Also drops lowest exam grade so you really can't fail.
