Comment:
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!! Had to fight for my grade because we never got any grades. We all went from Fs to Bs by the end of the semester after complaining to the dean. She hates morning classes and reminded us everyday. Told us we did not need the textbook then changed her mind halfway through. DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TO!!!

Not the class to take if you are just trying to fulfill a Government Requirement easily. That being interested it was a three hour night class that was always lively and interesting. Class work isn't hard if you put the required effort in.

Comment:
I enjoyed her lectures a great deal - she had a great sense of humor. That said, she lost several of my assignments. I kept asking for them and nothing was returned until the end of the semester when I recieved the ONLY "B" I ever got! She had a tendencey to be condescending at times - not open to other thoughts/ideas.

Comment:
She doesn't allow students to fully explain their reasoning before shutting them down. Her comments are dismissive and unfair. She is not careful in her explanations which causes confusion. This confusion reduces class participation and then she scolds everyone.

Comment:
She is a hard teacher but very fair. I had her for an evening course and the class was very interactive. She can be strict but very personable. I learned a lot from her and recommend her to any adult student looking to go back.She makes you think and that is what a professor needs to do.If she taught non-law classes, I would take them in a heartbea

She is a nice person but bad teacher! She does not give back test and then she screws you in the end and gives you a grade that makes no sense! I have to fight her for my A- I received because she gave me a B- out of no where! Even on her test she ask you for one thing and when she grades them she will take off point for stuff she did not ask for!

This lady is one mean teacher. She tells you to stick to the facts when reading questions but then she throws her own two sense in when she grades them.

Comment:
Definitely knows what she's talking about, is an adjunct faculty member/attorney as her regular job. Makes the class difficult, uses actual bar exam questions on her tests. Definitely read the book even though it is boring, because you won't understand a word of the lecture otherwise. Very hard to get an A.

HORRIBLE. Her lectures are useless. I think she forgot that this was an INTRO class. On the tests, she uses actual bar exam questions. She says that when she looks over the test, it is hard even for her. DONT TAKE HER AS A TEACHER.
