She started the year off by saying attendance is not necessary so I missed a few classes. She then threatened to kick me out of the class for not being there. What really frustrated me was the fact that she did not ask or seem to care why I was missing classes. As a professor she is more of a combatant than a resource.

You have to be organized and make sure you know what's going on. She isn't very clear about what you do and don't need to get done. She gives a lot of homework.

Not a good teacher. Junius is often disorganized and hard to understand in lecture, and how much you learn is entirely dependent on your interest in the subject. That said, if you put forth a moderate effort you'll do well just 1. Get the textbook and read each chapter thoroughly and 2. Go to class.

I feel she knows the subject matter but I'm not sure that she knows how to teach. We spent over a month on introductory chapters because she did not want to "move too fast" and we had 6 chapters to cover. I would not recommend taking a class if she is teaching it, you will not learn well if you need further explanations.

Professor Junius was probably the worst professor I have ever had. She was rude to students when they asked for help, and never helped those that were struggling. She spent the entire class doing one or two problems by herself on the board while we just sat there and watched. I would never recommend taking her as a professor for this course.

She then works the problem out with all of us, but midway through class she'll realize she made a mistake from the beginning. A middle school math teacher could do her job better. 0/5 stars.
