Most personable professor i've ever had. Very easy to talk to. I only wish the labs where a bit more involved, which I believe she is in process of correcting. She doesn't lecture. I hate lectures, but I wish short lectures where given prior to each lab to explain how what we are doing in the lab would apply in a real world scenario.

The class is easy but apparently the final exam is hard. As of April 5, 2016, no one has passed her final exam (the highest grade was a 59 before she curved the grades). To pass the final exam, students must read the chapters, answer the questions for each chapter, and watch her online lectures because it will all be on the final exam.
