Uses easy-to-follow Powerpoints to teach. Tends to drag on a lot but it gives you times to copy down the slides. She uses study guides where you fill in the blank, they are very helpful. She also has study guides for the exams that have all the questions you need to know for the exam. If you pay attention and study, you should do well.

Just show up and take notes. Have a buddy you sit by take them in case you miss class. Print out the lecture guides posted online. She does want you to succeed. Its possible to get over 100% on exams if you study. It's hard to get research credits if you are under 18. Only use the book for the few homework assignments online. Would take again.

READ AND ABIDE THE SYLLABUS. Sciartelli makes it the easiest class with simple exams, participate in studies or write papers on them, and online homework you can google the quizlet answers to. Thats all the grading material and she gives an abundance of extra credit so you can get an A with Cs on exams. However, she is VERY annoying in class.

Dr. S is an amazing professor, she really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I took her online and her lectures were pretty straightforward, open note exams, drops lowest exam score, offers extra credit. If you watch the lectures and fill in the study guides the class will be an easy A.

She does assign homework through the online book but not hard at all. Also you have three independent reading chapters worth 30pts and one paper worth 30pts. She drops an exam

I missed a week of class due to the death of a loved one. She insisted that I see her, and she was very rude and seemed to only want to argue with me and confronted me about something completely irrelevant. She didn't help me catch up. Long and boring lectures. She makes snarky remarks at her students. Don't know why there are so many good reviews.

This was my second time with this professor. I think she is a good professor, but you need to make sure you are studying to be able to succeed in this class. There are five exams, and she drops the lowest of the unit exams; the final is cumulative. There are also homework assignments. To help with the exams, you get a two-sided cheat sheet.
