This professor is honestly so amazing ^-^ I'd most definitely take her again if possible. Not only are her lectures very informative and you can tell she has a passion for what she's talking about but she also makes the course fun. She has an adorable way of explaining things and exams are online and mostly based off her lecture notes. Easy & fun.

She is the nicest teacher I have ever met. Her lectures are long and heavy but she makes them really interesting and gives tons of examples. Her tests are take home exams and you usually have about a week to complete them. They are not really hard but require you to take 2-3 hours to answer the questions.

I genuinely adored this professor and always looked forward to her class. She's extremely kind and understanding. Whenever I would see her in the hallways, she would always take the time to say hi and ask me what class I was going to next. Her lectures were easy to follow & the work was always assigned online weekly and was pretty easy to complete.

I absolutely love Dr. Insua-Auais. She's very knowledgeable about what she is teaching, and the class is so engaging. She lectures, and we use the chat to chime in, and she just makes our questions flow into the lecture. There is no midterm or final, just weekly McGraw-Hill assignments, module exams, and discussions. I highly recommend!

NO LATE WORK! She does not allow any type of late work. I took her MWF, and she gave fridays off. That is why she doesnt allow late work she gives you the time on friday to get it done. Cams can be off. Shes very kind and funny, loved the class.

I took this professor for my Human Growth and Development course, and she's amazing! There is a lot of homework, but it's definitely easy and doable if you pace yourself. She's very understanding and she reminds us each week of what is upcoming! Exams are 40% of the grade, but she provides a very detailed study guide for each exam!

Great class just lots of homework and sometimes the correct answer is marked wrong on the hw but that's not her fault that's the books fault unfortunately. The hw book questions also asks really irrelevant and non important questions which is annoying tbh. But she is really kind and answers emails when you have any questions or concerns.
