The teacher sends out the notes but also sends out extensive review sheets so if you do the review you will do well in the tests.

Exams are very difficult and tricky multiple choice questions. lot of material to study (4 chapters. powerpoints each with over 60 slides to memorize)

Honestly amazing teacher that will do everything in her power to make her students succeed but that is only if you put in the work in yourself. Her classes involve a lot of information but she simplifies it so well, so the only thing I would say is study more than just the night before. Other then that, you will be more than better off in her class.

Tests are based on her notes/powerpoints. Her instructions for the group projects and term paper are straightforward. She’s pretty lenient and helpful. Do the work properly and enjoy your grades!

(W22) Good teacher. The class material itself is heavy, a lot of memorization. She recommends us to read the powerpoints and the notes, but personally, I found that it wasn't enough for the tests. The tests were very tricky, the multiple choice answers would be very similar to each other, so try and pay attention to each question. She is a strict grader when it comes to the presentations, grades could range from 60% to 75% (for a presentation that counts 30%). Make sure you attend the classes though, she takes attendance and it counts for participation (bonus points). You could also do the extra point assignments, which will help boost your grade by 1%. I would recommend her, but make sure to come prepared to her classes.

This teacher is wonderful. She is understanding and fair and really does her best to help you do well. She often gives bonus points too to increase your grade. I would take another one of her classes again

she is a good teacher overall because she makes jokes and talks about her past employment at Gillette. there is a good amount of writing but not that bad at all. this was written during covid.
