Took her for family/intimate relationships (sociology elective) Loved how she formatted the class. This class involved a presentation, two tests, and a reflective "unpaper." She really aims to help her students succeed. She's the most caring BSU professor I've ever met. However, most of her classes are night courses, so the price will be higher.

This is an amazing lady!! Taken most of her classes at this point, don't need textbooks for her classes as everything you need for tests will be in your notes. Makes it very clear what will be on tests, and if you miss a test she's very open to letting you make it up during her other classes even on campus of the other schools she teaches at.
