She is the BEST teacher ever. She makes her class fun and time goes by quickly, so it doesn't fell like you have been there for hours. She understands the mentallity of the students she knows we get tired and sometimes sick of school; therefore, she is never going to over load you with a lot of work.

If you want an easy A get her. If you want to learn go somewhere else. She is unorganized, all over the place, has ADD. You can't ask her a question or she looses her train of thought and gets upset (she calls it being in the zone). Makes up her own meanings to universal terms and definitions. She is nice but if you need help good luck tracking her
