Bio of Inverts - Okay class, okay professor. Definitely knows what she's talking about, but wasn't the best at teaching it or making it interesting. Not the worst professor I've ever had, not the best.

Comment:

Lectures are not well structured or directed. For this reason, it's really hard to understand the material. Also does not do a good job of answering questions, even when asked point-blank. I had high hopes for this class and left very discouraged. Pretty much a waste of a block.

Comment:

I heard she was bad and took the class anyways, a mistake. I got quite a bit out of it but she is all over the map. your whole grade is 2 tests and if you want, one paper. She is very lenient on SOME things and very random. Her lectures are really hard to follow, she often changes thought midsentence. I would not take another class from her.

Very fun teacher in the field, but her lectures tend to skip around a lot and are hard to follow.
