I was fooled by the ratings so I'm speaking out so you do not have to be. Impossible tests that don't align with her lectures, over hyper and brags about what a good teacher she is when she's only the more popular one because all others are somehow even worse options.

Don't be fooled by these reviews you have been warned. I don't know why these are so high other than the other econ chocies are somehow worse but i would take one of them over this one. She lectures nonstop on stuff that won't be on the exams, too lazy to create her own materials and uses mindtap, which is why nothing aligns. Take someone ELSE.

Took her because of her ratings but they can't be for real. She's the most incompetent professor I have had to date and more like a community college prof with her nannying style of teaching and incessant yapping. They're all so bad at this school so good luck.

Horrible. Run now before its too late. Mea is all over the place in her lectures, they make no sense, and nothing on the tests does she cover. She refuses to help when students have questions by acting like she didn't understand the question, is severely opinionated, angry towards students. Blames students for "not studying" if they ask a question.

The worst experience of my life, totally unflexible and reads her notes to you, that's the class. She grades so badly that she has to offer extra credit to get us to pass and it's all literally lecture from her poorly read notes. I don't know how she has such high ratings but it is not because she can teach. STAY AWAY FROM HER.

Naw skip her, this was not a good course nor professor and I took her based on her rating. Doesn't teach what she tests on, uses trick questions, makes the tests harder if any of us actually do well, painfully unclear when students ask for clarification Lowest grade of semester and by far. Stay away and take someone else. Consider yourself warned

WAAAAYYY too much work for the payout, confusing, nonsensical lectures that aren't connected to what you get graded on and she does not connect concepts during class and leaves us all confused. Did not provide any feedback so you don't know how to do better and irritatingly disorganized course. Strongly do not recommend taking her for anything.

If you ask for help she just confuses you more and tells you to do online exercises. Lack of clear instructions and material, gets extremely offended if you make any suggestion at all, cannot take any suggestions for improvement at all. When lecturing makes constant mistakes, provides incorrect info repeatedly. Avoid this professor do not take.

Delivers an unrelenting barrage of opinion that has nothing to do with her exams, which you will do poorly on like i did. Lowest grade I ever received was in this course and she is extremely aversive to criticism, clearly, and constantly contradicts herself leaving us all confused. Take literally anyone else but her.

This class ruined my 4.0. Tests make up nearly all of your grade and her lectures do not help in preparing for them. Notes are littered with unnecessary details that won't be on the test and are completely unorganized. Be prepared to teach yourself and spend a lot of time reading the textbook. I took her because of what I read below & regret it.

Worst class I had to date, by far lowest grade I received after two years of classes taken here. She does not teach at all, uses textbook materials rather than creating her own so they never line up with her "lectures" and neither will her tests, very opinionated on topics she should be mentioning in class and, highly defensive to criticism

She was a super confusing teacher who constantly contradicted herself, tests were a lot harder then they needed to be, homework is online and she makes us do that in class instead of actually teaching, the work in class won't match the tests which will mess up your grade like it did mine, overall just really really bad course that hurt my gpa

Painfully unclear when in her emails and directions when asked for clarification, like she didn't even bother to hear or read what you were asking, runs through lectures that never show up on the tests, lowest grade of last semester and by far. Stay away and take someone else, you've been warned.

Class time is totally wasted and she forced you to be there, her tests will absolutely decimated your gpa but she does it in a sneaky way so you are too far along to drop. There are no good options here but she somehow makes it the worse with her smiling and clapping like a gd seal as she does it. I regret fighting to take her, advice: Wheaton

Terrible.

Absolute worst. If you get her switch out as soon as possible. good luck to whoever is in her class.

Her exams are a tough because she basically makes the questions up, they are not over materials she teaches and you learn nothing in class that will help. There is no alignment between course material and exams, she is obsessed with her reputation on here more than she is with her teaching ability. Used to be easier but now just as hard as tania.

She does nothing but lecture on unrelated materials that will have nothing to do with her exams, and you will not do well on them becuase you have no idea what to study for. Lowest grade I ever received from her class. She is also extremely defensive to criticism on here and clearly tries to spin damage control, also onstantly contradicts herself.

She is a very unskilled lecturer, does not teach to the test, leaves students confused as she is inconsistent and defensive when you ask questions in class, She prides herself on being one of the best teachers of the department and school yet is among the worst i have ever had as you learn nothing in class and have to teach yourself everything.

This professor used to be good but she is no longer and is to be as avoided as the other unnamed one, there is one remaining decent mac/mic prof and you are not looking at her profile, take ew if you want someone who is a skilled professor at teaching the material and has fair exams. This woman ruined my entire semester.

She is an inaccessible professor who doesn't do her job teaching us the things we need to know to be successful. Tests have gotten ridiculously impossible and make no sense with trick questions you've never seen before, prof hostile to questions. If you hate yourself, take this professor.

DO NOT TAKE HER!! I heard that she was a really easy teacher but that's not true. Her tests are impossible and the cheat sheets won't even help you. All the information on her slides are not even on the tests. Her lectures are so boring and she just reads off the slides while no one pays attention. This class was my lowest grade of my entire life.

DO NOT BE FOOLED. She is a terrible professor and and so is her course, entirely made up of textbook resources that she doesn't even teach.

Among all the professors I've had, this one stands out as the absolute worst.

Everything you may have heard about her being the "easier" or "better" one is absolutely BS. She has changed and apparently in order to grade more evenly to the other sections. The difference is that at least the other sections have a professor who actually tries rather than standing there reading off the slides and no one can even bear to get thru

Worst professor of my life, lowest grade of my life, worst course experience i can't believe we pay for this. Cannot teach for the life of her, the most boring lectures read from her prefabricated slides, then you test on entirely unrelated prefabricated questions she takes from Mindtap A+ test prep but never taught.

Her sycophants need to stop lying about her because they whole reason we are in this position having signed up for her class is because we believed the good reviews. We were wrong. Stay away from this one if you even value your GPA, SHE IS THE WORST.

Stay AWAY, at least the other teach while she apes a performance through reading slides alone. She is horrible and I can't warn you hard enough to STAY AWAY. Then, after the most lackluster performance in teaching, she starts up with the "nice" act and rains extra credit so you don't hurt her teaching evals, all she cares about.

Her grading? Totally subjective! You could know all the material she teaches and still end up with a lousy B. I'm used to straight A's, but thanks to her, my GPA's taking a nosedive.

This class is an absolute disaster, It's the worst I've ever taken. After two years, I got my lowest grade. The teacher doesn't even bother to teach, just regurgitates textbook stuff that doesn't match her lectures or tests. And if you dare criticize her, she gets defensive real quick.

She contradicts herself left and right, her tests are ridiculously hard, and she expects us to do online homework in class instead of actually teaching us anything. Nothing lines up, and it's a miracle if you come out of this course with a decent grade. My GPA took a hit because of her, and I'm still bitter about it.

She rushes through lectures that don't even show up on the tests, and guess what? I got my lowest grade ever last semester. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of her class. Seriously, I wish someone had warned me but I believed what other people had said about her being the better option. SHE IS NOT THE GOOD OPTION.

She puts on this fake nice act, but its all a facade. I mean the average test scores speak for themselves - they're abysmal. And just when you're about to give her a bad evaluation, she suddenly offers extra credit to save her own skin. It's manipulative and sickening.

She's worthless in lecture, doesn't teach anything useful and just reads straight from the slides, seems unprepared daily about what she is going to say, then expects us to be sudden economists on the exam. My biggest regret, don't make the same mistake.

You're here because you heard this was the professor to take for micro/macro. You heard wrong, things have changed. Take a look around since you're already here. All the recent reviews are what you will experience: random unrelated teaching, tests of no taught content, sarcastic clapping to distract you from your poor performance and evaluations.

Refuses to actual teach a real course despite the majority of her students doing poorly. Instead relies on crap textbook resources she stands there and reads literally verbatim to us every day in the most boring way possible, then uses crap tests she copies from the book but specifically those not covered. Horrible.

There is no point in coming to class because she doesn't teach what is going to be on the test, but she militantly enforces attendance even though most of us are upperclassman. I do not understand how she received the "good" professor reputation as I have found her lazy in her teaching but maybe it is because all the others are just that bad.

The master of gaslighting, fails to teach what is on the exams, then pretends to not understand why we all don't do well on them.

She is the worst. Now, at the end and after finals, we are entering her reverse-the-villain-arc where she unprofessionally, unreliably, unpredictably increases grades at the very end so you don't poorly review her. You know what would be even better? Teaching the material so we can reliably EARN our grades. The pain and nonsense of not knowing.

Instructor is incredibly difficult to deal with and a stressful experience. No class plan, no interest in hearing other opinions, and no set method for grading.

Unsupportive and unreliable, a detriment to students' learning. You will stress all semester not knowing your grade until it is randomly bestowed upon you. Makes no sense. Avoid this class if possible.

Worst course experience I have had at SMU with a bad professor who randomly assigns grades with the wind. Find someone who can teach or else take your chances not know what grade you will end up with.

Did not enjoy this course at all, forces you to be in class but doesn't bother teaching the material you need to know. Acts like she knows the topics until you question her when she gets very defensive and can't answer your questions. Not a good teacher and I notice that when she has a ton of bad comments, there are a pile of sudden good comments.

Look I think she is a nice person but does not do a good job at teaching. She does not teach what is on the exam so everyone is blindsided by them and does poorly. Then, to save her own skin so don't poorly review her (she watches these constantly), she hands out all these bonus points and final curve. Went from a B- to a B+ overnight but stressful

If youre reading this and wondering if you can take this class and put in a decent amount of effort and thus do decent in the class, you are wrong.

Worst teacher I have had at SMU. Tests are impossible, no matter how much you study. Very pointless class, makes it unnecessarily difficult then tries to deify herself by curving everyone's final grade an insane amount so you don't complain. Worked for a while but now that we all know, we are pissed that we don't just have a good teacher instead.

Professor is rude beyond belief. She is overly strict to a degree that is entirely unnecessary and does not aid students in the way that a professor should. She also shows very little respect for her students. Grades are by whim and whimsy depending on how much you are likely to complain, so complain a lot if you get stuck with her.

She is not a good teacher and does not even try to help you learn what you will be tested on. She curves your grade at the end but you study the whole semester for no reason.

Cannot teach for the life of her, most boring lectures read from her prefabricated slides, then you test on entirely unrelated prefabricated questions she takes from Mindtap A+ test prep but never taught.

Ms. Ahlberg was hands-down the rudest, least available, least helpful, and worst profs I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Do not take any classes with her. Our class averages for exams were all below -60%. Wish I could give a 0.

Test heavy. Lectures awful and useless, confusing with no clear outline and an hour of her just reading slides. The tests are just ridiculous. The class only gets more infuriating further down the semester. Good luck if you get stuck with her.

By far one of the most difficult classes I have taken. Study for hours and never got higher then B on the exams, usually Cs. There are only a few exams and attendance is mandatory. Its all lectures so you attempt to pay attention only to find that nothing in lecture will be on the exam. Terrible professor, terrible class.

She changes her mind quite often throughout the semester. And while she will respond to your questions, she does not give clear responses.When we do well on tests she makes the next test completely impossible to do well on. None of her information from lectures will be on the exams.

Professor just regurgitates stuff that doesn't match her lectures or tests. And she gets defensive real quick if you question her about her approach and how it differs from the texts. Tests come from a bank of about 300 questions or so but none of them are on what she taught because she draws them from the text bank rather than lectures

Professor lacks basic communication skills. Can't explain concepts clearly. Doesn't answer questions, brushes off concerns. Makes learning unbearable.

very scattered lectures, and is very difficult to follow in class because she often uses vague words to explain concepts. Her tests often pick out very slight details on the slides and are difficultly worded. It is definitely possible to do well on the tests but be prepared to memorize a ton of irrelevent facts.

Run the other way. Lecture style was disengaging and felt wasteful. She tends to foster discussion on material that matters the least when exams come around. Really not a fan, grading seems fair and reading isn't useful, if you don't care about the material it might be a tough semester. Save yourself the pain and don't take her classes.

Covers the basics but you have to do so much work on your own to understand her inane endless ramblings, demeanor is horribly off-putting, and she uses a stiff sense of humor that is rude and inappropriately targeted toward students.

Avoid at all costs though none of your options are good here. She makes the hardest tests to make sure no one is cheating and forgets about the fact that we are here to learn and need good grades to enter cox.

Obsessed with attendance but definitely not her own teaching.

More obsessed with attendance and cheating than running a good fair course. Terrible teacher, terrible experience, any other option is better, take it from me as I have had both now.

Horrible and militant about attendance for no reason as coming to class does no good. NOTHING on the tests is covered, drop now now before its too late, she is confusing in her directions and changes her mind all the time about the syllabus, and she refuses to listed to student feedback when we explain how to better organize the course.

Boring lectures that have nothing to do with her tests, useless topics, class not worth your time or money, she doesn't teach, doesn't know how, completely pointless of a class, find another course to take if you care about your GPA at all or need to get into b-school. Worse than the other option.

It doesn't matter how much you study tests are impossible.. Trick questions she never went over, no cheat sheet will help because its on material never covered so it won't be on your cheat sheet obviously, unnecessarily difficult then tries to save her ratings by curving everyone's final grade an insane amount so you don't complain. We're done.

If you want to take a class where you are completely on your own for studying and still ruin your GPA then look no further you have found her.

Mea doesn't teach the material at all. Lectures are worthless, and she skips crucial topics. Tests are ridiculously hard and not reflective of the lectures. The attendance policy is draconian, skip her if possible or you will regret it/.

Mea's teaching is useless and non-existent. She reads off slides without explaining anything. Her tests are extremely difficult and don't cover material discussed in class, so your cheat sheet won't help at all. Attendance is strictly enforces with no leniency even for legitimate and serious health issues.

This professor was the worst. Mea doesn't teach, just yaps endlessly. Her tests are impossible with questions that have nothing to do with what little she covers in class. The attendance policy is absurdly strict. She's completely unreasonable and unhelpful. Hope you don't have a death in the family as attending funerals is unexcused on test days.

Horrible experience, heavy lecture class, all she does is blab nonstop excessively about her opinions which never show up on tests and she doesn't seem to know anything about the actual topics in the book which ARE on tests, completely unorganized and refuses to acknowledge student suggestions or feedback on how to improve content, gets defensive.

Mea is the worst. She doesn't teach, just lets the online book do everything for her then gives absurdly hard tests, and has a ridiculous attendance policy. Shes unorganized and her lectures are pointless and unrelated to the exmas so there is no reason to attend yet there is also forced attendance. She's a terrible instructor if you need to learn.

Literaly taught nothing that was going to be on the test then forced you to be there anyhow. Worthless is a kind word for this whole course and professor.

Very scattered lectures unrelated to the material she tests on, is very difficult to follow in class, tests often pick out very slight details on the slides and are difficultly worded. It is definitely possible to do well on the tests but be prepared to memorize a ton of irrelevant facts that she never teaches

Plays the same games she does in 1311/12 with ridiculous exams then extra credit at the end to save her rmp page and student evaluation. Truth is that we are all aware now and letting everyone, including ahlberg, know. She makes sure she gets the right number of As through trickery and falsehoods, take someone else where you have a shot at learning

She goes very fast during lecture & is then annoyed when she has to go back a slide. Constantly irritated if you don't go along with her antics in class.When people asked her for help she kept repeating the same thing over and over. Talks ab how smart she is and uses every chance to brag about herself.I have never seen a worst teacher in my life.

This was hands-down the absolute worst course I have ever taken, and she was hands-down the least helpful, and worst profs I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Do not take any classes with her. She yaps nonstop ab nothing to do with the class then her clapping antics try to distract you from her not doing her job. Wish I could give a 0.

DON'T take this class. She doesn't even make the tests, and if you don't do well on the first one, kiss your grade goodbye. Showed up for all of the lectures, studied, attended office hours, and still barely passed the class. She is the worst and the only person not saying so is her. Does these "clapping" antics as a way to distract you from the C.

She tries to distract you with all her antics like the flying pig in San Marcos, meanwhile creating tests that have no bearing with lectures cause she uses old stock material since she doesn't put any effort in on her own. Then, tries to regain our sympathy with false curves toward the end so we don't bomb her evals, while still bombing our grades.

Am a 4.0 student and I have never gotten grades like these even looking it up and you find your answers are correct and marked wrong. She spends more time trying to be "cute" with her mannerisms and demeanor than she does teaching, then tries to distract you with her clapping bit, meanwhile slams your gpa at the end after evaluations close, trust.

Tons of drama with limited instruction. To succeed you must teach yourself everything in the book or you will not succeed. She does not teach anything on the exam, does her song and dance to distract us from this fact, while also forcing attendance compliance when that time could otherwise be used to self-teaching. Needs to go and NOW. Hate her sm

I was able to handle econ so I figured I would give this a try, well I could never have been more wrong. I have never dropped a course at SMU before until I took her, hands down STAY AWAY. The tests are ridiculous and she then offers all curving at the end so you don't bomb her ratings and evaluations. Don't fall for it.

Has a really bad attitude about teaching and toward students. I asked why she couldn't make test questions herself rather than using a test bank and she pounded her fists down on the table angrily and said she has many priorities. Guess teaching isn't one of them, maybe she's here for research, but just avoid her lest your GPA suffers.

Do not take this professor. Really interesting material but he does a very poor job of teaching it. Tests are inconsistent with lecture material and he is incredibly hard to meet with outside of class.

She tries to be cool and cute but instead comes off as desperate to be liked by undergrads when she should be spending that time teaching like the adult she is. None of the econ profs are any good though so good luck with that.

She does an awful job of instructing and never holds office hours. You are expected to teach yourself everything as what she talks about has nothing to do with the exams. Then she prances about trying to be funny all semester long, bestowing extra credit at the end just so you don't bomb her teaching evaluations with the truth. Useless lectures.

Because she does not make her own test, the material given on an exam is much more different than what we learn in class. The professor will often provide examples for problems which are not viewed on the tests.

Forces you to attend the most nauseating lectures known to man, and never lets you out early. The "cheat sheet" is useless cause the exams are all from a bank she never teaches, then she whips out all the extra credit as instructor evaluations are being completed so you don't bomb her, then your GPA tanks. That's the course experience. Run.

Forces us to come to class when there

Do not take Mea's class. She doesn't teach, and her tests are ridiculously tough. The attendance policy is unfairly strict. She's disorganized and often unprepared. If you value your GPA and sanity, stay far away from her courses.

Mandatory attendance in this day and age when we're paying 90k/yr is ridiculous, especially if, as a professor, you utterly refuse to teach anything that is going to be in the exam. Either we self-teach and get the freedom necessary to do so or you do your gd job. Can't have it both ways MiA.

She lectures non-stop, with a focus on trying to be cute and clever and liked by students a quarter of her age. Clearly, she does not teach so be prepared for her lecture to be an unorganized mess and chaotic with no point and nothing on the exam to be spoken of.

Reads her notes to you, that's the class. She grades so badly that she has to offer extra credit to get us to pass and tests are all vocab literally written word-for-word from her texts. Just write everything she reads down and get someone who already took her to help with quizzes/exams.

There is no point being in class and nobody pays attention, which is even more distracting as she has no classroom management with her being so people-pleasing. Self study the book then do al the extra credit. That's the only combination that makes As in her class. Better, take Li.

She was a bad teacher this past semester and I was so disappointed as I thought she was supposed to the better one. Regret not taking another Professor.

The problem with Mia is that she's all a façade. She fails to teach the subject in terms of what will be on the exams, wastes our time with her clapping/rallying antics trying to distract us from our grades so we still "like" her, then bombs the scores at the end so she can meet the department requirements. At least TJ is up front ab being a...

Lecture was unbelievably boring and irrelevant...There is no point in attending bc they have nothing to do with her tests but you are FORCED to attend or else no one would. She is insufferable. I wish I'd never taken this class because it needlessly brought my GPA down even though I worked hard.

WAAAAYYY too much work for an intro course and she is insanely confusing w nonsensical lectures that aren't connected to what you get graded on and she does not connect concepts during class and leaves us all confused. Autogrades so you don't get actual feedback on how to do better. Strongly do not recommend taking her for anything.

I never thought I would post a review until I had the displeasure of taking this professor. Lectures are nearly incomprehensible. There is original work but rather materials from supplemental books materials, meaning she literally does NOTHING but parrot back pre-made garbage. Test averages were consistently abysmal. Avoid at all cost.

Being better than ther other crappy options ain't quite the compliment. She never stops talking and it's so annoying. Cheat sheets no help because she doesn't teach what's in the exam so you have to put the whole book on them which is impossible. Extra credit is built into the course to make her the “good guy” at end of semester. This is known.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER. None of her lectures match up with anything on tests, I just relied on the book, and even when doing that, the tests still had nothing to do with what she told us to read. Won't provide notes if absent, even excused, her tests blindside you and then she tries to get back in your good graces so you don't poorly review her.

Watch out comments are disappearing again cause she's more obsessed with her reputation than her teaching. Can't teach worth jack s and your grade will suffer for it. Nothing on the exams line up to her lectures and she baseless accuses people of cheating

This professor is all the wrong. Fake nice only to lure you in then slams you at the end enjoying your suffering when you can't get into cox bc of her one grade. Sporadic teaching, impossible exams that don't match, and horrible, painful lecture ALL DAY that you're forced to attend.

The workload, overly harsh grading, and utter lack of teaching quality was completely inappropriate for a class she doesn't even seem competent to teach. Absolutely miserable experience.

She is not only the worst teacher I have ever had, she treats us like we're in fifth grade with required attendance even though her classes and lectures are completely worthless and will cover literally nothing on her exams. She also uses pre-fab materials from the book publisher, which is inconsistent with her dated lectures, is why we all fail.

An objectively terrible professor.

Avoid Prof. Mea's class if you can. She doesn't teach the material, and her tests are unreasonably difficult. The attendance policy is strict and unfair, totally unreasonable as if we're children she is babysitting over. She's unorganized and unapproachable. It's been a terrible experience. Grades do not align with effort or intellect

Lectures make no sense, a lot of ranting and repetitive. Went to office hours to get feedback but at the end its useless she is no help at all. Expects you to read for a class that is an elective, completely not reasonable.

I can understand the complaints. As an upperclassman, she lacks talent in teaching and spends her effort in trying to be amusing, which is not what we're here for. instead of using performative clapping, yapping, just TEACH THE SUBJECT. She does not teach what you will be tested over. Grades suffer.

This was a super confusing teacher, she contradicted herself very very often, tests were a lot harder than they should have been, homework is worthless and not related to tests, tests are your entire grade, insane about attendance, obsessed with bits and performances to be "cutesy" rather than actually teach. Sad.

She uses bad publisher materials to test from, teaches stuff that must come from before so nothing matches and she literally does nothing but yap all day long. The grades are automated, the tests are textbook gen, hw too, this is the laziest teacher of all and she spends the bulk of her time dancing around trying to be popular among undergraduates

She will micromanage and give vague feedback that really doesn't help at all, the grading seems simple but she will find something to trick you with.I was one of her better students who actually engaged in her class and I still had to work too hard for my grade.Take another prof all the other prof. are so better (other than t) AVOID!!!.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! She is a bad lecturer, but is horrible when it comes to grading. PAINFUL attendance policy that doesn't allow for any unexcused absences. DOES NOT CURVE ANY GRADES in relation to the rest of the class. No one in my class got a perfect score on the midterm

She is not a good professor and is the only person saying she is. Not a good teacher doesn't make her own materials so you don't know what to study even with a cheet sheat which is what she loudly exclaims/points to. Better than tj but that doesn't make her good.

You hear different things and it's because she's the best of the worst possibilities. Doesn't teach well but tests are online so easy A with that and extra credit.

Worst teacher. Lectures are slow and horrible, teacher makes the class very boring, and no one wants to participate. Finished with a grade two letter grades below what I was supposed to receive and deserved and she refuses to round grades up from a .63 to the next grade which would completely change my grade. Do not take this teacher.

No good. She's more concerned about what people think of her and being "fun" in class than making tests that make ssence and match her lectures. Cheat sheets don't help when the material taught has nothing to do with the exams.

TESTS AND ATTENDANCE POLICIES ARE RIDICULOUS. You can't go back on tests for no reason at all and this shyte pmo. Do not take her and thank gd we have other options beyond tank tho I hear their bad to. F Econ.

sad sad sad

lectures and homework fail to align with the content of his tests, dismissive attitude towards questions doesn't respond to emails. Grading is harsh and includes material not adequately covered in class, making the learning experience unnecessarily challenging.

I've posted many times and don't know what's happened to them EVERY TIME. It's like she's severely reactive to criticism when she should be listening and learning. VERY poor quality teaching, never teaches anything related to the materials because she doesn't even write the test questions, she is obsessed with attendance and cheating, BAD BAD.

You will learn nothing from this course... 😭 ALL test ?s from MindTap, but her lectures and slides don't even align to the text, so you're wasting your time in the REQUIRED attendance course. HW easy, useless, not worth the small points, tests will ruin your grade but she slams you with extra credit at the end so you don't complain, 4 points.

She doesn't teach — just fills time. Tests are from a site she clearly doesn't review herself. Office hours feel like a social club for certain students. You'll pass if you ignore her and just study the software. Sad but true.

You literally have to teach yourself everything in this course. She doesn't write her own tests and then when we don't do well, she ponders why as if it's some world mystery. Laziest teacher ever, dumbs down her lectures like middle school bc that's all she's capable of knowing, then uses online test questions from a bank that she doesn't teach.

I am an A student all the way and this is the first class that I ever made anything below an A. HORRIBLE as a prof, ridiculously rude when you ask a question or are confused, leaves out all details that she purposely grades on, ALL her tests are premade from the publishers so nothing matches which is why you have to READ if you even hope to ace it.

Nightmare.

The topics aren't even hard except she doesn't know how to teach. We're paying $5k a semester for her to read slides and notes to us that aren't even going to be tested in AND WE HAVE TI ATTEND.

This class has made me extremely frustrated and upset on multiple occasions. She does not know what she is talking about, talks in circles, follows no schedule. She is stressful because she gave random tests that were incredibly specific. No grades are given until it is too late to do anything about them. If you are taking for a cc, avoid.

Oh my. I learned nothing from her lectures... 😭. Horrible horrible horrible 😂😂

I do not care for her.

Obsessed with attendance and not her own teaching. Bad bad badddd

This teacher does not explain anything well, and when you get to tests it is nothing like what you learned in class. She is extremely picky in her grading and doesnt tell you what she expects. The class average for the first test was probably a 70% highly dont reccomend.

Before this class I've never received a grade lower than 95. Just barely passed because she is such a terrible teacher. She also don't teach and grades based on her own OPINIONS. Do not take her.

Started hopeful, left wondering how this person is allowed to teach. No structure, no substance, just rambling and personal oversharing. I learned more from group chats than I ever did in class. Deeply disappointing.

Took her first semester freshmen year. Would advise against taking her, not because she is horrible but because she is a really poor teacher This class is my only B+ ever at SMU and haunts me till this day. I put in so much, went to all her office hours, and could not do well in this class bc she refuses to teach the test's concepts.

Lazy lazy lazy

Mea does not make fair attempts to actually teach the material, so you will be required to learn it on your own. Basically she just rambles about nothing that will be tested, meaning you have to do the reading yourself or memorize the test bank.

She is a low quality teacher and all she does is lecture about random concepts. Tests are from a test bank that is available online. If we could skip class to memorize the test bank that would be fine if she forces you to also be in class effectively wasting your time twice.

tries to hard to be cutesy and popular with her days of the week bit when she should be spending more time on understanding the material she is supposed to be presenting so that it is understandable, do not recommend

Mindtap does more work than she does

Her lectures are overwhelming, disorganized, and impossible to process. She doesn't care about students or their success. If you need an easy credit or enjoyable class, AVOID AT ALL COSTS! TERRIBLE!!!

She runs class like a strict high school, banning electronic notes and not allowing students to leave. Her lectures are overwhelming, disorganized, and impossible to process.

Total waste of a class. You're forced to show up for lectures that don't help with anything. She doesn't understand the subject and relies on the textbook program to handle it all. Definitely avoid if you want real instruction.

Her tests are very hard and she is very confusing. Her lectures make zero sense and you have to teach yourself the tire time hoping you get the right question on the online exam that she doesn't even write. She's lazy, confusing, and makes inappropriate jokes.

DO NOT TAKE HER.. I heard that she was a really easy teacher but that's not true. Her tests are impossible and the cheat sheets won't even help you. All the information on her slides are not even on the tests. Her lectures are so boring and she just reads off the slides while no one pays attention. This class was my lowest grade of my entire life.

She is no good. She relies on fake software to do everything for her because she's lazy, doesn't lecture because she doesn't understand it. Gives extra credit to make sure you onto drown her in bad reviews at the end. That's the entire class and it sucks.

Tests decide your entire fate plus the extra credit she throws in at the end to prevent you from bailing her on her evaluations. You can disguise bad teaching all you want with being cutesy but when you rely on software to do your job and can't explain basic concepts, you're a bad teacher.

Not a good professor relies on bits and trying to be pals with students rather than actually teach which is a problem bc it leaves your grade at risk. Tons of extra credit at the end but she does that so you don't complain on her evaluations that she forces you to take for more extra credit.

She constantly goes off topic and is not very familiar with the information she is teaching. If she doesn't like you or think you're trying hard enough, she won't help you for any reason.

She is very unorganized with due dates and makes guidelines very confusing for assignments. The tests and quizzes are pretty impossible no matter how much you study.

She is not a good teacher and while everyone knows it she's like slightly less worse than some of the others?

Mea is fooling no one with her end of semester extra credit palooza. She's upping scores now so we don't bomb her teaching evaluations and then slams us with the exam that will drop our scores. Shes manipulative teacher but the better of the lot & why we take her. I think I'd have preferred Tania after seeing my friends notes tho. She teaches.

Her being the "easier" or "better" one is absolutely BS. She is either just as hard or changed things up to grade more evenly to the other sections. The difference is that at least the other sections have a professor who actually teaches rather than reads slides that have absolutely nothing to do with exams. She substitutes extra credit for skill.

Don't expect this to be an easy class, test two average was under 50 for my class and I've yet to see everyone finish a test on time. This class is what you make of it if you show up everyday and go to gpt you'll probably do fine. She's manipulative tho with her extra cred and evals and fooling nobody.

Worst teacher I've ever had. Doesn't teach at all. You'll learn nothing in class. Very rude when you ask questions.
