She is an adorable professor! She makes things easiest for us, which is really helpful towards incoming freshmans to adjust from the high school to college transition. I got her for Education 1300 and the class was quite fun due to the interactive activities that we do. Our class was comprised of, quizzes, power points, and group activities. Yay!

As a veteran, I've dealt with my share of annoying/foolish people and instructors who pretend to know what they are talking about and dont care. Mrs. Van Alstine is different. She actually gives a damn about her students and works hard to make everyone pass. She will be honest with you and help you grow. Take her, you won't regret it.. I promise.

Professor V, is without a doubt one of the most open-minded educators I've ever had. She doesn't say you can't achieve something even if you put your mind to it. Instead, the sky is the limit in her eyes. In terms of my class, it was quite easy, however you must still work for your grade. This class isn't super easy or hard, so just take it!
