Mary's nice enough, but I was a little disappointed in her class. With a subject that has so much potential, she really makes it boring and slow. Mary quotes the text book way too often, no outside info. Kind of an annoying person, and just a little egotistical. If given the choice I wouldn't take her class again.

Very easy class. Although incredibly female-view oriented.

Mary is such a sweet lady. She is very interesting and funny. I think it's impossible not to like her. Class is fairly easy.
