Dr. Kay could care less whether you do well or not. She lets you take your tests at home tells you its closed book closed note then grades on a curve.

Very good teacher.Passionate about what she is teaching, attendance not required,but you miss valuable info by NOT attending lectures. Tests are some what hard, homework is done online and you're able to redo it until you get 100%, tests can be done at home and are timed at an hour or taken in testing center w/unlimited time. Highly recommend her.

It's a fun class to attend, but the lectures don't necessarily equate to what's on the test. She uses the textbook's tests and often doesn't cover in class what shows up on the tests. If you study the textbook you'll do much better than if you study any of the notes she gives you.

This was by far the best summer online class I have ever taken! Her missed item review assignments really help if you did not do great on a test. You can also do homework over and over till you have 100%. Just know that you have until the deadline for those assignments and you cannot retake them after. She was very reachable via email as well!

Prof. Kay is fine as an instructor and a person. She explains the course material very well, and is willing to help students outside of class. However, very little of what she teaches in class is actually on the test. The textbook is therefore essential if you want to pass. There are five tests, with accompanying homework assignments.

This is my second class from Professor Kay. I love how she organizes her classes online. They are clear cut and you can get an A if you follow and work. I love that she offers lectures online, this is a huge stumbling block to online classes. I feel like regular classes have an advantage with that. She wants you to succeed.

She lets you take the homework quizzes until you get 100% . And she also offers a missed item review so you can get extra points for questions missed on exams. Overall amazing class!

There were five tests and she allows you to do the homework assignments as many times as you want in order to get 100%. She offers extra credit by doing a missed items review.

You can just read the book, watch the lectures for help, or study using her infinite-retake assignments as practice tests (same test bank on exams!) Missed item reviews on exams are awesome too!
