Comment:

This class is so weird I get C's on all the tests but somehow I have a 97 in the class. You have to take a million online quizzes that she doesn't teach you about, and she doesn't know how to explain anything. If you ask her a question she just mumble something no one understands. You also have to write a paper on global warming, which sucks.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS. She is so hard and does not explain well. She makes you take onlines quizzes for homework without teaching the material so we all fail. Then she teaches it the next day, reopens the quiz for a retake, and then assigns another quiz that we fail and retake. She also wears really weird clothes and laughswhen things aren't funny

Comment:

She is very disorganized. She loses papers. Unfortunately she is the only one who teaches the course. Lectures are a waste of time as well. I did very well in this class and received an A, but I was not always sure of where I stood in the class. She will never email you back. She excepts a lot out of her students with little guidance.

Comment:

Tests are ridiculously hard . . . she is very unorganized and her lectures don't help at all on the quiz! The teaching sudents lab was one of the most unorganized and ridiculous things I have ever done! She seems smart and understands science like and expert . . . but expects you to as well!

Comment:

Her tests are IMPOSSIBLE. She let's you have a cheat sheet, but they never helped me no matter how much stuff I crammed onto them. Some advice: keep track of your own grade...she's SO unorganized. Also, don't expect an email back from her anytime soon.

This class has a lot of stupid expenses. $150 dollars to get the book, lab manual, and "infrared transmitter"! I would recommend taking science from Butte, this class is ridiculously over priced!

Comment:

She is not that great but the lab manual she put together is incredibly helpful. It makes a difficult subject as easy and clear as possible. You don't have to go to lecture either so the lab manual is all you need.

i'm not gonna lie, her class was hard, but she prepared the manual so well that you really just need to study it. yes the moon project sucked, but she is so accomodating that the class isn't as bad as some may think.

Lots of slides for lecture that was not helpful. At labs at times we were placed into it with no background information. The test are impossible, but we are allowed a page cheat sheet (a lot of time it does not help).

Comment:

She's ok. Her first test was impossibe, but if you write down all of the quiz questions and answers you get about half of the test. Also, just attend a few SI sessions because she goes through a million slides that you have to know.

Comment:

She is the worst teacher I have ever had, her Tests are impossible to pass and her lectures are very boring. She shows 50 slides and expects you to memorize them all. I advise anyone to take another teacher for this class. You will do yourself a favor.
