I took Ms. Skipper after I had to drop another teacher at Chattahoochee Tech. Ms. Skipper is a GREAT teacher to take. Don't go in it thinking that your grade will be handed to you, because it WONT! Unlike other teachers, she answer's questions and relates the material to everyday life. Believe me, if you take her, you'll be doing yourself a FAVOR!
She's fun & keeps the classroom laid back & easy going. However, you will become a GERMAPHOBE when you leave there. LOL. She goes fast, but does ask if there are any questions. So, it's on you if you keep quiet. Extremely intelligent of the microbes. Total Enjoyment! Thanks Ms. Skipper!
She is very upfront about what she expects from her students, and if you pay attention and work hard you will do well. She is a great person to conversate with as well, very interesting. I will take her again for Microbiology. If you can get into her classes before they are full, do it!!
She is an awesome teacher and gets that everyone in class may be going to different fields so she make it relevant to your field/degree very knowledgeable and down to earth just dont get her timing wrong. Liked her teaching style not on a MS or PhD level like some other proffesors
Best teacher I've ever had! She's young, fun, and has a sense of humor when she's teaching. Pay attention in class and pre-read before class lecture. Complete all homework assignments! She uses half of the questions from the homework for the tests. You'll enjoy having her as a teacher! =)
she is a great teacher. very intelligent.. read the book & ask questions. try to read up on labs..take her!!! let's get it..
She is the best teacher I've had! Explains things so well, and is very helpful in getting you to understand concepts. I thought she was hilarious and very down to earth. You have to work for your grade, but she's very fair. Great class...really enjoyed it!
Ms Skipper is very knowledgeable, the only problem is that I believe all the good reviews have made her quite cocky. If you are ready to spoken to like a five year old, this is the class for you.
Mrs. Skipper is very bright as well as fair. She really wants you to pass the class. If help is needed you can stay after or come before class. She is very direct and will not just " give out grades". You will have to work very hard for everything. Any negative reviews on here mostly likely from students who didnt pass. Really good professor!
Miss Skipper is a good professor. She is very smart and will help you with school and personal things. She is very direct which can be mistaken as rude but this is college and not highschool. Make sure you read read read before and after class and ask questions. Also be prepared for quizes if you do not read or pay attention.
Ms. Skipper is young, funny, and makes class intresting. However, she is VERY hard!!! You will have to study alot to pass this class. She can be rude and snappy at times.I would recommend her but be aware that she is not an easy A.
As informed as Ms Skipper is, I will agree with earlier reviews. She has comlex issues, this is the first time that I have been let down by earlier reviews - she could have started well but boy, now, be prepared to be made to made feel like you are in kindergaten. Stress oh yes she will make you feel!
From the reviews i was thinking she was very good but after a couple weeks i realized she got issues and she is not helpful at all in the lab. She just sits and watch you also she never looks in your microscope to help. I DONOT RECOMMEND HER AT ALL!!
She is very rude and very very mean. She is too strict, I can't stand her. She gives 10 compulsory questions on short answers essay test. You must describe, explain, write in details. She is a no mercy prof. You can't ask for tests grade unless she is willing to release it. No helpful in the lab at all. I will never recommend her for even my enemy.
Had her for Microbio. No thanks! She was snotty and unhelpful. She would dock points for anything and everything. She really seemed to enjoy critizing people, being condescending, and watching people fail. Would not recommend her to anyone.
Amazing teacher, very helpful, puts things in perspective, explains things over and over until everyone understands, hard class, you earn your grade,take notes, go to class, talks fast but you can understand what she is saying since she puts them in normal words. She is so helpful and answers every question anyone has!!!
Ms. Skipper makes the material accessible in a way that you can understand. She can be inconsistent with what she tells you about what she expects & guidelines, but otherwise she will take the time to explain concepts in lecture & if you practice the short answer questions @ the end of each chapter you can do well on tests.
I just finished taking her and yes if you think she is going to be easy at all your in for a huge surprise. Don't ever ask for your grade and if you ever want to turn things in late don't bother asking she won't take late material. She does explain things well but does talk to class like its in kindergarten. Just make sure you study really hard
SHE WAS INTERESTING, FAIR, AND HELPFUL. SHE DOES NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK AT ALL! SHE TRIES TO HELP AS MUCH AS SHE CAN. SOME STUDENTS HAVE ISSUES WITH HER BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT CURVE AND SHE IS UPFRONT ABOUT WHAT SHE EXPECTS. IF YOU READ READ READ AND LISTEN TO HER DURING LECTURE YOU WILL BE GOOD! Y
This teacher is very strict. Imagine a class of 25-28 students, and more than half students dropped the class. A considerable teacher should be concerned and able to retain most of the students no matter what. She is mean, and will stress you out. Be ready to help yourself in lab.They that have ears, let them hear. Hope she read this and change.
Very happy I took her. If you study(a lot)you can earn an A. She is good at explaining more complicated topics such as gene expression on a very simple level so you can understand. She also would draw things out on the board. She is no nonsence though and this is not an easy class. Thanks, Ms. Skipper!
Ms. Skipper is good at taking intimidating topics and simplifying them so you can understand. As a previous poster said, she can be inconsistent with requirements and moody. Micro is a lot of info to process, but study hard and you'll get there.. Ms. Skipper is not flexible on deadlines, so be prepared!
Talks to you like a child, but expects you to answer like a doctor.. I doubt she could meet her own standards.. Micro is tough, but study a lot and don't bother Ms. Skipper and you'll be fine.. One good thing about her is she doesn't tolerate whining!!
She is a very good teacher. I read some of the comments students are sometimes unfair. Her mood has nothing the information. As long as can understand and take the test that is what matters. This is college not high school
do not take this class from her. she will not grade based on merit, but who she likes. she does not need to be a teacher at all. She gets an attitude with students. Essay questions are not graded fairly.
TERRIBLE. IF YOU TAKE HER, YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!
Ms. Skipper can simplify the material very well, and that reduces much of the stress from this course. Just read the chapters, and pay attention in class. She gives you lots of clues as to exam material. Very helpful, lively, and funny teacher. For me, this class is much easier than Anatomy II. Whew
Definitely a reasonable professor who knows her stuff. A little tough, but she always tells you exactly what's expected and is very willing to help if you just ask her. She expects students to converse with her during lecture, and you might pay dearly for it if you don't. Overall, she is direct, concise, and reasonable.
She doesn't grade essay questions fairly. She expects you to answer questions on material that was never discussed. She is not very active in lab.
OK teacher for lab, but usually not get involved in showing you how to do anything, plays with her phone during class. Does not grade exams consistently. She's mean to students. Don't take this class unless you want to ruin your GPA.
Ms.Skipper is very nice. Very pretty and young with an awesome sense of humor. however, she is a COLLEGE PROFESSOR. The work is NOT easy. You must TRY in her class and she is strict on material knowledge. Talk to her and get to know her, she's very nice but SHE DOES NOT ACCEPT LATE WORK OR SLACKERS!
Ms. Skipper is great! I drove all the way from Acworth to the Paulding campus to take her class & it was well worth it. She is very thorough & matter of fact about what she expects. She will not spoon feed her class but will engage them so you will actually learn. Very good about explaining material & even gives homework to help study for the exams
Professor Skipper is fair and fun. She will not babysit or sugarcoat anything or anyone. The class is interesting however it is a lot of work. You have to read and study to get an A. She does not curve but does give bonuses to help your grade. Some of the reviews on here are false because she helped in lab. She just won't do the work for you.
Good teacher. Hard but fair
Very hard class but if you study ask questions and read you will do fine
Fun class but too much info in one semester.
Ms. Skipper is extremely lazy and does not assist students in any way. There were a few times she seemed genuine in helping, but it felt like class was more of a fashion show for her than teaching. Not helpful and very lazy have to beg her to get up to help in lab. I would never take her if you want a good grade
given that we only had 4 students it was a great class. She was able to help each of individualy. She is very interesting and funny. Given that the course was only 8 weeks it was a ton of information in a short period of time. Overall professor Skipper is fun and fair.
I love ms skipper! Best biology teacher I've had so far. She is really funny and if you ask for help she will help you, but she does not give out grades, you have to earn it. Just read your book and do the homework and pay attention in class and you'll do fine.
Ms. Skipper is a very intelligent and interesting teacher and she will make you work for your grade. You must be very proactive throughout the course and always read your book.
Mrs.Skipper is incredible! You have to go to class, pay attention, take notes, study, ask questions, etc., BUT it is so worth it! She will clarify and go over anything if you dont understand. She is super friendly; I ended up staying after talking with her. Love her.
Professor Skipper is very thorough and fair. Expect a ton of work especially in lab. She will help if you don't understand. Most likely the bad reviews on here are from students who fail because overall she is a really good instructor who knows her stuff. I would recommend taking this class by itself if possible due to the amount of work.
God, where do I start with Ms. Skipper. I think I would just advise people to look at taking another class. She has her strong suits, but she also has weaknesses as an instructor. She's very likeable, but her teaching and grading can be very discouraging.
Class was wery interesting. Definitely informative.Ms Skipper is helpful if she sees you making an effort. Not a class for for slackers. Do not take during the summer, too much information to absorb in 8 weeks. Read, study daily and pay attention! Don't let the look fool you!! She is no joke, brilliant young lady!Definitely an asset to Chat Tech.
Ms. Skipper is not a bad teacher. He problem is she does not teach her class as a introductory class but as an intermediate class. Out of the 20 students who were in the class, 10 dropped because she goes through information extremely fast and if you are taking other classes you will not keep up. She's definitely snobby and sometimes rude.
This class was extremely challenging however I really enjoyed it. Mrs. Skipper by no means is easy but she will help you. She stayed over almost everyday to answer questions and give study tips. In lab be prepared to do more work than lecture. Overall I think my experience was good. She is a great professor but will make u earn every grade.
Very good instructor however there is a ton of material. I worked harder in lab than lecture. Fun class but should remove unknown project.
Interesting class. Professor Skipper is very knowledgeable instructor. Very informative and interesting to talk to. I almost didn't take the class im glad I did
she is awesome take her, she helps a lot. i really didn't put a lot of effort in this class but i still passed, she gave us a lot of opportunities during the semester if anyone didn't do good on a test. p.s she's cute
She's really cool, laid back and can dress. Truly knowledgeable on her stuff. Nothing gets pass her. Be prepared to read a lot & read before coming to classes, get prepared to do work!! You truly have to earn your grade here. She goes through lecture fast. Tests & quizzes in bio lecture are 80% of your grade. Take at your own risk.
She is a good teacher, but her voice sounds like three-quarters of a fish stick dipped in tartar sauce.
Microbiology is a really hard class. Ms Skipper is really good teacher, she always offers help, but she can be intimidating. If you take her class I suggest a voice recorder because she talks really fast, like auctioneer fast,also do the extra credit!!!! It boosted me a letter grade!
Ms. Skipper having a B on here doesn't surprise me. She is young, outgoing, and talkative. However, I wasn't a fan. She is clear, but fast thru lectures bc she is too busy talking about other things than Micro. Like herself. Her tests are fair, but get ready for a lot of self-teaching. A lot liked her, but I wasn't impressed. I'm a younger student.
She is intimidating, but I got a B in her lab class. If you want help, you basically have to convince her to come help you. She likes to give short answer quizzes, but her questions tend to be vague and slightly unclear. The quizzes are 40% of your grade and the lab notebook is 10%, do well on those and you will pass this class.
She's a good teacher. If you ask her for help she is willing to meet you outside of class time to help you. I would take her class again.
Amazing, one of the best instructors I've ever had.
Amazing instructor.
Ms. Skipper is an great professor. She is very helpful and easy to talk to. I made several appointments with her where she went over things I didn't understand and my exams. This class is not for slackers at all it is very difficult. You have to put in the work or you will fall. Take your time on the homework and do the extra credit . It's a must
She is awesome. She is super helpful if you ask for help. Pretty easy-going. Her lectures and labs are fun. She's easy to get along with no matter your personality. Tests and grading- completely fair. Extra credit is a possibility
Ms. Skipper is a great and very smart but she is tough this class is no joke be ready to study hard. She does give extra credit in the end. Make sure you do the homework like if it was a test because it can boost your grade a letter up. She loves teaching and very helpful she will stay after class to help you. Excellent teacher. Do not be LATE!
Ms. Skipper is an excellent professor. I would recommend anyone to take any of her courses. She breaks everything down to the where you can understand. She is very professional with her teaching and she is dedicated on getting her students to learn. She is serious with her teaching, so you must put in the work to get the grade that you want.
Do not take her class... She is not helpfull at all.
Test are very hard. My advice show up, do not engage. First test is homework heavy second test is not so do not just study the homework questions for the 2nd test. Very tricky
She is smart but that is all I will say. Being a teacher is a different story. She goes through information really fast. If you don't have a bases on science that being biology and anatomy than ur gonna have a bit of a struggle. Be prepared to hear stories irrelevant to class or life. ur going to be selftaught even though u pay to be taught by her
If you want to actually learn something and not just pass I would take this class. She's a tough grader but will go through the trouble of explaining things to you. I would recommend her to anyone who is majoring in Biology because you will learn alot from her. I respect her as a person. Would take again.
This is college. So you won't be spoon fed! The assigned reading isn't self teaching! Furthermore, I thought she was great! If I ever missed something she said she would gladly repeat. She's very knowledgeable and willing to help. Micro is a heavy course load so keeping up is a must!
I honestly don't know why people think she's such a bad professor. I absolutely LOVED her lectures, and even though we did have conversations aside from lecture, it helped me remember certain things about the lecture. Extra credit is possible, and a lot of the test questions come straight from the homework question. Taking her again for Bio1107!
Ms. Skipper is by far one of the best professor I've ever had in my college career. She is incredibly smart and insightful and I learned so much in her class. She made me truly enjoy microbiology, so much so that I would probably take it again. She makes you work for it, she's tough and doesn't play games, but she is totally worth taking!
What a great class. Taking her again this fall semester.
Loved this course. Sure, she talks fast and flies through lectures, but she also tells you to read ahead to keep up. Bio isn't an easy course, and it's A LOT of material, so it's a must to read ahead, like with most science courses. She makes course material fun and interesting, which helped a lot!
Dr Skipper is the best instructor so far in CTC. She can be intimidating but she is fair. She talks fast but she will repeat until you get it. What you learn in class that what you will see on her tests. Best advice is to record each class.
Ms. Skipper is by no means a bad professor, but if you choose to take a class with her in the summer, be prepared. Biology is a lot to take in, and in a condensed summer class, it is NOT easy. I struggled so much with summer BIOL 1111 that I had no choice but to withdraw. She also flies through lectures, so make sure you pay attention in class.
Professor Skipper is beyond amazing! If I had studied more, I could have gotten an A. The course is not an easy course however if you do these following things, you are guaranteed at least a B. Go to EVERY lecture and pay attention. Remember the homework answers. Take advantage of any extra credit opportunities that she offers. Don't cheat.
Pay attention in class and memorize your HW questions because some will pop up on the exam. Have to work for your grade by reading ahead, studying and understanding the concept.
I took her microbiology class over the summer with chem as well so I did not have an easy schedule but if you really want to do well and you study constantly, it will pay off. Study the homework questions, flashcards are your best friend, and make a group chat with study buddies! You can't get a better professor, she is THE BEST!! Love Ms. Skipper!
Lecture exams are 6 chapters deep, 50 question scantron only count for 70% of grade, Essay questions count for remaining 30% of grade. Essay question has to be answered in heavy detail. If Science isn't you're thing, this is not the class for you. She's hands off in her Lab. If you've never been in one, you will feel lost there.
Professor Skipper was one of my favorite professors ever! She is hilarious and makes a lot of jokes while getting work done. Pay attention to the homework questions because they show up on the test. I ended up getting an A in this class because I worked hard for it. She does grade tests heavy and has a very strict policy for homework, tests, etc.
She is nice and cares about her students, but the tests are hard. She gives additional credit on the test, but if you don't answer her short answers textbook style, You won't get all points.
Ms Skipper teaches Microbiology really well and her energy shows that she loves ! You may not like her testing criteria for the first exam or 2, but trust me-you will love her much more toward mid-semester. Her lab is great also! Hint- be sure you're actively hands on in the lab group assignments bc eventually, you will have to work solo.
One of the best professors I ever had. She is clearly passionate about her topic, and if you feel nervous or shy the first day of class, forget about it. You'll be friends with everyone within a few days. She's hilarious and engaging. You need to study intensely for the tests but it's worth it. Love Ms Skipper; would take her again in a heartbeat.
Love Ms. Skipper! She is a fantastic teacher!. She was a research microbiologist and worked at several large universities ,so she knows her subject material inside and out and it shows. Very funny and engaging but genuinely cares about her student's success AS LONG AS THEY ARE PUTTING IN THE EFFORT. Do your homework and study it- it's on the test!
Skipper is a great professor! She isn't there to hold your hand or be your friend. She is there to teach and she does it very well. Not the best at answering emails but follows her Syllabus so refer to it often. Tests run similar with homework assignments but are very hard. You can get an A, but you have to WORK for it. Highly reccomend this class.
She is the best instructor I have ever taken in Chattahoochee technical college. She is caring and always willing to help. Make sure you record her lectures and do the homework. They are really helpful. She is GREAT!!!
Don't get behind, start taking your notes for your test as soon as you start the material. Homework questions will appear on the test as well. she is amazing and makes me very proud. I loved her, Very tough though. She operates on the notion that we should be just as competitive as a traditional university student, not just 'tech' student.
Horrible teacher. Her test is NOTHING like the powerpoints or her lecture. Her test is ALL on quizlet, that is how I discovered towards the end of the semester. DONT take her class if its for credit and if biology is not your thing. I recommend you taking another bio teacher. I regret taking her and you will too.
I was so worried about taking micro, but Ms. Skipper made this subject painless and actually really fun to learn. This is not an easy course by any means. Study your HW before tests, READ THE TEXTBOOK. Shes funny, and wants you to succeed but is not going to hold your hand.
Take her, she is very amazing in both Lecture and Lab, she helps student to understand the material, she is very organized that means you also have to be organized, red the power points before coming to class, and study the homework before each test, be respectful because she is also very respectful I wish she teach A&P. I would take her again!
Skipper is caring & wants to see each student pass. Above all, she wants students to LEARN and PARTICIPATE. She enjoys what she does. Her knowledge is extensive and enjoys it more when class is participating (asking/answering ?'s) Follows the syllabus schedule. No test makeups. DO NOT WAIT to study, keep up in class & you will do well. Take her.
Those that don't like her want an easy A & upset they're not handed an A. Experienced first-hand! You must put in work. Put some effort into learning material. Don't wait to study. Read CH before class (or at least CH review). She's caring especially if she can tell you're trying. Gives good feedback/study tips. Participate in class. Recommended!
BIOL1111 LAB Lab was FUN and educational. Keep up with weekly assignments in Lab Book. Participate in Lab. Actually read Intros before the lab. Try to understand whats going on. It helps with TESTS! Tests are hard, but verbatim from intros and conclusions. TO STUDY read lab intros & your lab book post-lab work. Skipper actively helps in lab too!
The ABSOLUTE best college class I have ever taken. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. Record lectures, if she says it, it is ON THE TEST. You will hear her say it, and it is absolutely true. Be prepared for short answers on tests. She grades tough, but she gives you the tools to do well. You HAVE to study to get an A!
I had to drop this class because i was not doing well. I reach out to her to get some feedback but she never answer my emails. She was rude and didn't help me in lab. She expects you to know everything without teaching us how to do it. She had to many class that she can't even meet with each student. She was okay for lecture but not for lab.
DO NOT take Stephanie Skipper under any circumstances. If other classes are full just wait! She is not understanding under any circumstances, not even a pandemic we had. She will fail you and half the class without a second thought. If you care about your transcript and academic record, do not take her or waste your money! You have been warned.
I do not recommend Stephanie Skipper for Lecture or Lab! She does not have the compassion or work ethic to teach. I honestly believe she doesnt even like teaching anymore. She has too many students for one ,and can be very moody and argumentative for no reason. She should go back to working in a lab instead of teaching.
Do not take a class from this professor. Material on test is not covered in lecture, homework, or the book. Do not waste your time and money.
I took Professor Skipper during COVID-19 and in general, I would never take her again. The study guides are ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING LIKE the tests!!!! I studied so hard but the tests weren't the same, unfortunately, She doesn't respond to emails frequently. Wonderful teacher and sweet person but not in organization for online classes!
Professor Skipper is amazing. She is extremely helpful and makes sure she is accessible if you need any extra help. She truly cares about your success in the class, but you have to want it for yourself! This is NOT an easy A--you will have to put in the work. But it's worth it! Very interesting and rewarding if you put in the effort.
On at least 3 occasions she told the class that the grades we receive depend on her mood while grading them. After comparing tests she would mark things wrong for some of us and not for others. She seemed to revel in the "gotcha!!" parts of her class. Dope personality, but gets a weird power trip out of teaching and grading. Don't recommend.
Exams are 75% of your grade. That wouldn't be too bad if the study guides at least contained the information that would be on the exams, but for the most part, they don't. You can do well on all the homework but those exams will ruin your grade even if you study hard. Take someone else, save yourself the wasted effort.
All her exama are like speed test with alot of typing which does not make sense. please please she should not even be the last option. Wait for another semester. she will frustrate you.
UNPROFESSIONAL. Taking Skipper was big mistake. She is on a power trip. Not helpful at all. If this course is what's left, do yourself a favor and wait till the next semester.
She doesnt give any good study information. Test are nothing like the reviews. She has the exams worth most of your grades. She has nothing better to do than complain about simple things on your lock down browser recordings. Super heavy on the typing responses on the exams. She could care less about you or your needs. She just doesnt care.
Dr. Skipper is an amazing teacher. I had to retake micro and it was like night and day compared to my last micro teacher. There is homework due for each chapter. She has online chapter lectures as well as in person. She replaces the final grade with lowest test grade. She is a visual teacher and will ask if we understand and go back over info.
Skipper was amazing! She made the class interesting. Exams are both multiple choice and short answer. My advice is to do really well on the short answer portion of the test, study the lecture recordings because if she mentions something multiple times, its guaranteed to be on exam. Also practice the questions at the end of each chapter.
I took her for both lecture and Lab. Lab was definitely a little more challenging than lecture for me. My advice is to not miss a lab, stay on top of pre and post lab journal, take plenty of pics in Lab as this will help on quizzes and lab practical. Participate in group lab assignments because you are on your on for Unknown Project.
Ms. Skipper was wonderful! She is very knowledgeable and funny. The class is so laid back but you learn so much. She really made micro enjoyable and I would definitely take her again. It is a hard class but if you go to lecture she lays everything out in a clear manner. I highly recommend taking her for lecture and lab!!
she is not helpful at all. her grading is unfair. and she is always late to answer emails.
she is not helpful at all. her gradin is unfair, and always late to answer emails.
I don't recommend her for lab because she's not very helpful in lab, she's great in lecture though, if you do have her for lab and you have a learning disability you can still get your testing accommodations regardless of what she says. Just make sure you submit all quizzes and tests through the disability center 3 days prior.
She has a very rude attitude when you approach her with any question. She hardly helps her students out only when asked. Test are nothing compared to the study outlines or the practice questions on Blackboard. Her grading is ridiculous and I wouldn't recommend taking her if you're a student who tends to ask lots of questions and needs extra help.
Professor Skipper is very fair and makes the subject of Micro interesting. I would take her again. She has a great personality. This is not an easy A but if you work hard she wants to help you succeed.
This professor is rude and not willing to help,its a hard class already but she made it even harder.Take at your own risk
She may be tough, but she is amazing at teaching both lecture and lab. I recommend her highly. If you really want to learn the material, she's the one. I wish she was available this semester for bio 1111 at marietta.
Skipper is not for babies. She is super knowledgeable, AWESOME in lab, and a true microbiologist. She is dedicated to helping students but has no tolerance for slackers. If you looking for easy A stay away. You wanna learn and actually PASS in your program, take my girls class.
Prof Skipper's class is challenging, but she's willing to help if you put in the effort. The exams focus a lot on short answers, so make sure to review lecture recordings and practice the textbook questions. Unstuck study was a game-changer for my study prep.
I LOVED Professor Skipper. She's organized, clear with her expectations, and always willing to help students. She is hilarious and engaging. Plenty of times I was too tired to think about microbiology but her lectures were so entertaining I would end up listening anyways. She responds fast/ is easy to reach. Wants the best for her students.
Ms. Skipper is the best teacher ever. I was scared at first because I have always heard that Micro is hard but with her the class was easy. She explains both the lab and lecture so well that you understand everything right away. There are a lot to study for this class but she is always available to help her students. I recommend her 100/100.
Hands down, one of the best professors I've ever had! She truly cares about her students. Micro is no joke; it's challenging; but if you put in the effort, you'll do well in her class. I honestly wish I could take more classes with her. I have a learning disability, and she was always engaging and willing to help me understand things better.
