Great Professor, is actually in the field so it makes it that much better. She tells you exactly what to study for finals, but they ARE tricky so you need to understand concepts instead of just memorizing definitions. Funny stories, very nice person ... I'd def recommend her.

Very nice and helpful instructor. Her lectures are fun and participative and you actually retain the info long after the class is over. Some chapters are harder than others and the paper guidelines were vague to me (later realized: so much freedom with it, seriously it was great) but overall I'd say she's one of the best professors at the school.

One of the best professors I have ever had. Her humor is the stupid but funny kind. Her scenarios you will never forgot, which is good because you will see them on the test. Test are fairly easy if you study. She doesn't hand back test but will go over yours with you if you ask. She's always there to help and she tells many stories about herself.

Even without heavy studying I managed to get As and Bs on them. However, this was because I read all the chapters needed. So, PLEASE READ! If you do this, an A in the class is almost guaranteed.
