Comment:
Also had Dr.Howard for 103 as well. She is amazing! She teaches with enthusiasm and has hilarious hand gestures that will keep you from falling asleep. She makes you interested in the material rather than trying to pound it in your head. Received an A in 104 and a B+ in 103. Does not take attendance every class but she will occasionally.

Dr. Howard is so easy over the summer. She's really accessible and has a ton of time for extra help. Tests are easy and you basically know what's going to be on them. Definitely the way to get this course done.

Do not take this course over the summer. Although she was very nice, she was unclear and did not use class time wisely. The tests are worded in confusing ways, so you really need to study for this class.

In order to get an A you can not treat this as a pushover. Great class, I loved it. I took notes and always went to review sessions. People that complain about her just aren't serious students or they are Politics or Drama majors.

Dr. Howard is by far one one of my favorite professors at CUA. She's extremely helpful and animated, and her tests are pretty easy. Lots of EC too. Love the accent!

Dr. Howard is a really nice professor! The tests are pretty hard, but the review sessions are extremely helpful. Meeting with her helps too. She basically tells you what is going to be on the test.

Tests are impossible and she isn't straightforward about what's on them, but that seems to be by mistake. Great personality, very pretty. Love the accent, but she prefers boys over girls. If you take this class, be prepared to study hardcore!

This class is SUPERHARD! There is no text book so you must study from notes (if you mss a class you don't have that days worth of notes) and she randomly gives pop quizzes and takes attendance. She lectures all class and speaks very loudly and quickly. She gives study guides for the tests but the information isn't always the same. They're super har

Dr. Howard's class is not easy!!! Be prepared to take lots of notes and even though the tests are multiple choice doesn't mean they are walks in the park. She does award for attendance and give extra credit though!!

She is HARD! Her tests are all MC but they are super hard. If you try to dispute with her and you're right, she still won't credit you. Do not take her unless you like big lecture style. The class due to intro level is always packed. She awards for attendance and will randomly call on students whenever she feels like it.

extremely energetic, with a great personality. Gives extra credit, pop quizzes that tend to be simple. Her tests can be tricky if you dont attend her review session. She is great though, suggested.

Hard tests but gain points by going to class. Will give random pop quizzes (is it raining today? type of questions) as a form of attendance. If your phone rings, you will be kicked out (which i think everyone should do). Very lively lectures and very helpful

Dr. Howard was one of my very favorite professors at CUA- and this from a psych major. She gives pop quizzes yes, but it's her form of attendance (things like, "What day is today" or easy questions even sometimes). She's lively and fun. And yes, she kicks you out if your cell phone rings- so just shut it OFF and stop complaining. A+ professor.

Dr. Howard gives you loads of opportunities to make up for lost points. She has easy to follow lectures, and is very energetic. Although she doesn't have a strict attendance policy, be sure to go to class because she gives pop quizzes often and most of the test material is streamlined in her lectures, which makes it much easier to study.

Class could be challenging; just make sure you show up and do your work! Her accent is hilarious and makes class enjoyable. Turn your cell phone off and don't talk or else she'll kick you out. No lie.
