Prof. Rumbley is a great teacher. She explains things in way so you understand and on a younger person level. As long as you do the 10 Journal entries and art project, you will certainley get an A. Also she gives notes that are exactly(don't worry there like 5 sentences) on the test so that's one of the reasons to go to class & test are EASY

Very smart and helpful in the class. Makes class fun and not too boring. But she does relate a lot to sex, and I mean a lot, I am a guy and she had me blushing a couple of times, but it kind of breaks up the time in class and you laugh at it. If you come to class every day, study a little before the tests, and do the journal entry’s, and project, easy A.
