This teacher is not too bad. Attendance is mostly mandatory although she does give you 5 allowable absences, which seems very fair to me. Book is mandatory and is used everyday.

She gets off topic a lot, shes a nice soul but her class is predominately her speaking a lot. There are 2 presentations and the notes are easy. For the most part, she doesnt really use D2L unless shes grading so keeping up with quizzes and notes are your job. Shes nice but a bit unorganized. Take her, but just have discipline.

Professor Brower is good at helping you understand things with her examples. Her only downfall is she isn't too organized so you're doing a lot of work at the last minute but everything is open from the beginning. 1 group presentation and 1 Individual. Group you're graded on your own part. Take her notes! It will be exactly the same on her exams.

I was not smart for taking her class during an 8 week period because she's amazing and I wish I would've had her for longer. She forces you to get involved in class so you become familiar with the topic.. and your classmates. I became so educated on current world issues while taking her class.
