Comment:

History of Landscape Architecture is a ton of work! But if you show up to class, you get both attendance and the opportunity to take notes which counts as a solid 50-ish% of your overall grade. She also gives the option for a take home or in-class exam. I suggest doing both as they're relatively easy if you've studied. She is also really helpful.

Comment:

She needs to be more in control and composed. Erupts easily and is volatile with mood swings. Not very clear on what she is trying to say or comment, can be very confusing for students especially with regard to project or assignment feedback.

Comment:

Talk about patronizing! I do not share my classmate’s opinion of the Professor. She has a great deal of experience and knowledge in the subject of Growth Management, from a developer's perspective, environmentalist and an academic. She’s realistic, thoughtful and committed to effective land-use planning. Plus, she’s nice and easy to talk to.

Comment:

This woman can't teach. She barely seemed that familiar with the subject matter and half the time the students in the class (all grad students) new more about specific topics than she did. Plus she's patronizing and trots around the room like she's some sort of nobel laureat
