make sure to ask questions about the homework before you leave class. When I was in this class, this teacher did not make the homework clear.

Our class was very behind schedule, due to the teacher's in organization. When in this class, make sure to stand up to the teacher if something wasn't posted, or you will get a terrible grade. I wish you the best of luck.

Going through this class was an extremely confusing time, where I had no idea what I had to turn in, how to turn it in, or when to turn it in. The class was also not very accommodating when we were taking tests or writing essays, as other students were always welcomed into the classroom by the teacher, which was very disruptive. The teacher was also disrespectful to the students, and teased students for not understanding directions. I had many questions in the class, but was too afraid of getting mocked, or her getting angry to ask them.
