She is sort of like one of those "professor mom" type of people, but that is most definitely not a bad thing! She is very funny, very easy to get a long with, and very easy to learn from; that is, if you pay attention. I never studied and I go

Very nice teacher overall, talks way too much about herself and her daughters. Hard to listen to. Talks way too much and is extremely proud of what she has accomplished in her life. Needs to talk more about getting through college and not herself so much. Overall an ok teacher.

If you are interested on taking a Personal Development class I would definitely recommend Julie Brown. She is the sweetest person and really cares about her students. If you are studying abroad she really loves learning about the lives of out of the state students. The mid-term is really easy is just a powerpoint on yourself. Take her class!
