All you have to do to get a decent grade in the class is read the chapters once through and go to class, and if thats to hard for you then you're just lazy. Even though she seems like she's yelling she is just trying to make sure you understand it. Loud voice but keeps you awake and interested.

I think that fall 2006 was the first time she had taught this class, so it was at first extremely confusing, but she later gave notes, study guides, and practice problems, which helped A LOT!

If you haven't noticed yet it's a senior class, which means either come focused/prepared or ready to learn since it is intense material already. She has a great attitude towards learning, but somewhat condescending towards students in general. She's more of an instructor than a professor.

Prof Hampton is AMAZING!! I took her in summer A- The class is fast paced but if you keep up with the reading and try to do the hmk without using the hints it will def help when you go to class or watch the lecture. Go to her for help! She's eager to help if she sees your really trying Its a tough class but she can help make it easier to understand

This class was very hard and she is not an easy grader. Participation is CRUCIAL in this class and she literally counts EVERY time you raise your hand in class. There are no curves and she really doesn't care about you or your grade. She is very intimidating when you speak up because she attacks you and makes you feel and look stupid. Ridiculous!

Love/hate thing with her, as everyone else does. Teaching style is Q&A - not very effective and her "notes" are illegible scribbles. Tests weren't 'terrible' - but didn't seem concerned that two years in a row people averaged a 58% on test 2. She seems like a good person, but she's not a teacher for everyone - and certainly not for me.

Hampton is extremely hostile, complaining when no one participates, yet scolding any questions asked. She cares more about formatting than correct answers, and will give you 0s if you fail to label things to her liking. She makes an already complicated subject much harder than it has to be. Definitely the worst professor I've had at UCF, so far.
