I've taken her twice, 240 and 213. Both classes were taught pretty much the same. She's an easy professor, with easy assignments. Gives review sheets for tests and is very clear on what is being asked of you. Can be very judgmental, and makes it known. Also makes it clear who she favors in class and who she doesn't. Participate and you'll be fine.

Regarding stats, as the professor mentions herself, they're never 100% accurate.
