If you don't read the chapters, then you won't do well on the midterm or exam but she'll give you chances to improve your grade. You're allowed to redo papers that you do bad on.

This class was a fun class that was interesting. Ms. Marmorato is very down to earth and does her best to help her students. The class requires participation and the use of online homework,which arent too hard, but you have to remember on your own to check and see when things are due. She is a tough grader with papers so work hard on them!GoodLuck
