she is so amazing, take her, take as many classes from her as possible, her 201 tests are harder than her 239 tests, but there is so much extra credit that the tests don't impact your grade too much, and the extra credit isn't too difficult because she hates big papers ;)

She is really great. She has a lot of material covered, but never makes you feel overwhelmed. She gives good review papers, and her quizzes are also great for review. She gives tons of extra credit, as another poster mentioned, which takes most of the stress out of taking midterms or final.
