Comment:

Loved her! She was so cute and made little jokes all the time. She loves her students and her work. She even brought us donuts the last day of class. Only thing I would change is the fact that we did not have a midterm, made me feel a little unprepared going into the final.

Comment:

Her expectations for a first year course are wayyyy too high. She expected publish worthy papers from us. Most of the time I had no idea what she expected from me other than that my writing had to be exceptional. Lectures are too helpful either, I didn't go to half the classes and easily passed. Will be expensive, too much crammed into semester.

Comment:

Horrible. Absolutely hated this class because of her. Do not ever take a 6 credit class with this prof. Her expectations for the midterm were completely ridiculous. She grades your opinion on the essays instead of your writing skill. If she disagrees with your opinion she will argue you and take marks off. HORRIBLE!

She is a good professor. She is a tough grader, although her feedback is helpful. She gives very clear lectures and loves when students participate. Very nice lady.

She is a good prof with good ideas, lectures do tend to get a little boring when you've been talking about the same thing for a week. Very clear when giving assignments and straight forward on exams

This Prof was AMAZING. She really seemed to know her stuff. She also seemed to really care about her students. In a class on 80+ she attempted to learn all of our names. The more you speak up the better your mark and interest in the class.

She is very nice but I found it hard to pay attention i class. Not too many assignments and only a few papers write. Not a bad class but not good either.

Wants us to dig the material but she is not so enthusiastic abot it either so why bother. She is nice enough but nice isn't what learning is all about. She isn't very prepared.

She is a wonderful prof! And as for the wooden shoes, if you didn't notice, she wears leg braces, so I'm pretty sure she doesn't have a choice, it's probably because of a health problem.
