Great teacher! Make sure you go to class bc she does iClicker questions. She curves the iClicker questions if your are average or above, doesn't curve the tests but takes "bad" questions out, has EC on test. The online hw is an easy A+. She makes sure everyone understands everything before continuing. Take her! (some iClicker questions are on test)

She was decent but not nearly my favorite. She leaves statements open and expects you to fill in the rest, but doesn't give you long to figure out what she wants or enough context. She got frustrated if the class didn't respond. She talks really fast, but repeats things several times. Lots of memorization of terms is needed in this class.

Attend class because she explains what to focus more upon for exams. If you don't understand something, ask her, and she usually goes over it for the class from a different perspective.

Decent professor. The material in the class is intense, but that's not really her fault. To do well on the exams (which aren't easy) be sure to take note of what she EMPHASIZES. If you follow what SHE SAYS and are able to apply it- you'll be set.

She is an amazing professor, I had her for A&P. Yes, the class it's hard, but she tries her best at making it easier. 30% of your grade its basically given to you if you just show up to class, and do the homework (which is graded by completion and not correctness) She is really sweet and caring, and I never felt scared to ask questions in class.

The one and only way to get a good grade is by going to every class and writing down literally everything she says bc you dont really get any type of study guide.

Her accent is difficult to understand and you HAVE to watch her lectures. They are usually long and dry, and that's all she tests on. The homework is almost useless. This is usually a pretty easy course, but she makes it hard. Ex: Her study guides say to focus on...*drum roll* EVERY section of each chapter, as if that's useful. Take someone else.

Her online class requires you to install proctoring software on your computer. Proctoring software has already been under fire by many colleges but I guess she doesn't get the memo.
