This is my first year in school in a long time so coming back during a pandemic was really scary. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to have Mrs. V as my first professor at Lone-star. She definitely made me feel more secure about taking online classes and made me feel welcome to the school environment. She is a very caring professor.

She cares about her students and answers questions/emails. Easy homework and doesn't give much homework ( gives a lot of extra credit). Everything is due Sunday at 11:30 p.m, so you have all week to-do 1 or 2 assignments. Professor Van cares that you learn about LSC resources and your path to the career you want.

I loved Professor V's class. It was such a nice course to take, and she should definitely be your top choice when applying for your EDUC classes! She is also a very understanding professor and is extremely kind. She is open to helping you whenever you need, but the assignments are overall very easy to understand and do.

I love her videos that prepped us for the up coming assignment for the week. The class was fairly easy, as long as you do the work. Professor V is very understanding as well as encouraging!

If I could I would rate this class with zero difficulties! The easiest A I've ever had, it might seem like a lot at first, but trust me guys if you plan it out evenly you can get it done with no stress; sometimes it's even enough to complete all in one day. She's very quick to respond to emails which is getting rarer these days.

I got a 99.5 in this class and the work is group interactive when in the classroom. You also go to the computer lab often and do work. Most of the work is in-class and if you don't finish it's like due at midnight. And don't miss attendance or till make your grade change LETTERS. Btw your table group is who you do group projects with.
