Don't get on her bad side and don't get up in class to blow your nose even if you really have to because she will NOT let you go. Let me repeat. SHE WILL NOT LET YOU GO. It's ridiculous! Also mention the ravens, it will probably get her off task, so if you have any last minute homework, you can get it done! CITE YOUR SOURCES CAREFULLY! She will probably accuse you of plagiarizing!! Grades matter, and you don't really have to pay attention, as long as you can memorize well. Memorization is key in her class. Her class doesn't really matter to me, or it didn't. READ IN BETWEEN THE LINES. This lady likes to point out details on tests. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT SHE ALMOST NEVER GIVES IT OUT. Also, this lady has a strong bias towards things, so if you want to be bold, go for it. But I was never bold enough to bite back. She favors students. It was a very hostile environment. Favoritism is not how you treat students. I think what makes a good teacher is respecting others, even if you don't like them, or in power. She didn't treat me like a dog, but there was definitely a bias. Always have an answer ready. She will like to cold call. Her classroom is cold. Bring a jacket. Her plants are usually dying. Maybe you could water her plants. She loves her plants. She has this blueberry colored hydroflask and she leaves it sometimes on random desks so make sure to give it back to her. ALSO one last thing. Just be smart and watch out. Was not really my favorite teacher, but you will survive.
