2-4 days average response time to emails. Tests are too hard; 40 questions shown one at a time in 60 minutes, cannot be skipped and returned to. Required custom edition textbook; costs $70 more than the regular edition, adds no information relevant to assignments. Tests can only be made up during week before the final, in my case seven weeks later.

I think this teacher gets unnecessary hate. She gave my class two opportunities for extra credit. The lock down browser wasnt that intense. She responded to any questions I had within a day. Dont be afraid to take a class with this teacher. Shes not that bad. Make sure to read and study notes and youll do fine.

She does not provide additional help other than links to youtube videos and the textbook. The exams use the lockdown browser, which I honestly did not enjoy.
