She's strict on attendance and will call you out. If you sleep, text or anything like that you're kicked out. Classes are kind of interesting and you can get at least a B if you study and complete the study guide. She's helful to go to for individual help and reviewing the info. It's not a bad class. No homework or textbooks needed.

She loves what she teaches and genuinely makes it interesting. There's no textbook and the attendance policy is mandatory. No homework at all, only 3 tests. It sounds scary but if you show up, take notes, and stay on her good side by not sleeping, texting, talking etc, then its a piece of cake. I recommend both her and the class.

For a religion major/minor, she is a fantastic teacher and you will learn so much from taking her class. If you are taking her for a gen ed, you will hate her. She lays expectations in the beginning and doesn't tolerate any disruptions. Very tough on grading papers and rarely referenced the textbook. Very knowledgable of subject.

Do Not Take, this class is interesting, but unless you incredibly smart, its a really hard class, the test are unclear, and she is very strict about phones and tardiness to class, which was not a big deal, but not having a book as it was nice for money, but not because the notes are not always the best to study and have a good backround on the info

I hated this class, this teacher totally sucked the fun out of it. I was very interested in the subject and she obviously knew a lot about it but made me hate being in that class. If you are extremely smart you may find this class easy, but for the average student taking it as an elective it can be very difficult.
