Write down EVERYTHING she says. Even if you think it's not important Be prepared for her to give attitude. Ask lots of question because she isn't good at explaining Small Projects are worth a lot in the class She isn't good at preparing you for future exams Keep all of your notes

As I was in school she regularly gave unwanted knowledge about her life. She also made fun of foreign student's names. Most of the time her comments were embarrassing to the students. She was not very caring and always seemed to be in a rush. Her lectures in the class were not engaging and she often got upset when a student didn't know the answer to the question of a new topic she was supposed to be teaching. While on online learning things got better, but didn't significantly improve. She is not good at answering emails or questions within respectable time frame. She also required a lot of work to be done. Finally, her disorganization skills had prevented us from properly succeeding in the final exams. I would not recommend it.
