TONS OF EXTRA CREDIT! Some of the material is tough to master but Lori makes it easy to understand. I loved going to class and I find Lori's lectures to be interesting but the class is lecture heavy.

I have had Lori for 130 and am currently in her 230 class. She is the reason as to why I have changed my major to SLP. She is super passionate about what she does, and has a happy-go-lucky personality. She cares very much about her students, and loves what she does! She makes it fun with how much she loves everything we talk about in her class.

Lori is one of the nicest profs I've had at CMU. This class fulfilled a UP for me, so I only took it because I heard it was an easy A, which it was! The class is lecture heavy, with weakly assignments to be submitted, but besides that, it should be a breeze. Lori also give a ton of extra credit, so you really have to TRY to fail... Would recommend.

I love Lori! She is an amazing professor. She honestly has so much experience in the field. I feel like I learned more hearing stories about what she did than the class itself. CDO 230 is basically an over view of the mayor and she did and amazing job at teaching it! I would take any class if she taught it!

Lori is an amazing professor. Her lectures are extremely clear and very interesting. The exams are very much like the lectures and powerpoints. I would not recommend getting the textbook because we don't need it, everything you need will be in the notes and powerpoints. I would totally recommend taking this class.

Lori is the best professor I've had at CMU so far! She works part time at the Midland hospital & part time at CMU & she has all kinds of stories. Her exams are easy if you study your notes. Make sure you show up to classes that are expected to have low attendance (days before breaks, St. Patty's) because she gives out extra credit for showing up.

Amazing, beautiful, and intelligent. All words said too often, yet never enough in the context of one woman: Lori. Super smart and very encouraging, I would recommend this and any class taught by her because she makes things very easy to understand and uses real world examples like films to aid in class.

Love Lori! Best in the CDO field in my opinion. She is so passionate about her profession and it comes off in class. I have her at 8am, but she lightens my morning! Cheesy, but seriously. She's so helpful and move at a steady pace. Study HARD and USE THE TEXTBOOK (learned that the hard way) It will start out hard, but get a little easier.

Lori is the BEST professor CMU has. Wonderful teacher. Breaks things up so they are easy to understand and really goes above and beyond to help you learn the material. She really wants her students to do well, and her personal stories make the class a little more interesting. She's the best!

This class is pretty easy, but very easy to get distracted by her good looks and the way she flirts without even knowing it.

She is very good with teaching the subject and will always help out when needed, on the plus side, she is very attractive and is kind of flirtatious to go along with it,makes the class a little more enjoyable!
