Does not answer emails. Information needed for assignments are not in the textbook. No matter how much you study you are not prepared for her exams. Took this class out of pure interest in the subject matter, and this class has completely turned me off.

Tests every other week, assignments due the weeks you don't have tests. Tests are multiple choice and ask you about the most random stuff of life. Everyone HATES her classes. STAY AWAY!!!

She does not make this class interesting. Uses language no one understands and assumes you know the material already. Uses an insane amount of maps and they do not make sense.

Do yourself a favour, and don't take this class. I'm a fairly good student, and her class totally messed up my GPA. She reads off her powerpoints which have 1000 words on each slide, her tests are really bad and her marking is really tough. Don't repeat the same mistake I did in taking her class...

She will generally give you the most ambiguous questions and the most ambiguous options to those questions possible. So basically if you study the most useless information in the textbook, you should be good. But she's very sweet and willing to help if you have questions.

in a first year class and i feel like i walked into advanced spaceship mechanics. the class is long her voice is well you wont like it. she will read off the power point, and her elaboration sounds like a recitation of advanced thesaurus. she is vague on what readings you need to do, so no one in the class has ever read the same pages of a book.

TERRIBLE! She missed two weeks of class and then gave us a test. She gives tests every two weeks or so. I only stayed in her class for the first test. It was terrible. Her lectures were boring. I couldn't leave fast enough.

Not terrible, but not good either. Her lectures have improved from simply reading off the powerpoint slides, but are still very boring. Lecture attendance is not mandatory - most people only show up the last hour for the test, or to hand assignments in. Course material is interesting, but would be more engaging with a different professor.

The class is pointless, yes its mandatory but I have personally not taken anything away from this class. Her teaching is unorganized, her voice is monotone and her quizzes are so easy that studying is not necessary. If you have the option not to take this class, don't take it. I feel like it was a waste of my time and money.

If you have an option to not take her class, do it. She's not a good teacher and her tests are so unreasonaable. She'll ask questions that have nothing to do with anything important. Explains things bad and she is incredibly rude. You have to teach yourself everything. and you never want to go to class but you have to bcas somethings due every week

Don't take this class, I promise you that you'll regret it. No one in this class likes her and we get nothing from it. Her lack of enthusiasm is depressing because she honestly doesn't care about teaching this course.

She's not helpful at all, her tests dont make sense most of the time and she is unenthusiastic. She doesn't seem like she wants to be there, why should you? Also she doesn't explain anything or seems to know anything offhand,she's always reading directly from the text and is confused by questions concerning the text.

Her tests are identical to the textbooks websites quizzes so just do those and you'll pass the course, no need to show up to class. Although she does randomly change them to screw with you. Do not expect to get help from her if you have questions. Might be from her power complex.

Very inconsistent! One test could be straight from the online questions, the next could be impossible!! One I got a 100% the next I got a 60% and etc. I love history, I love the book! BUT! This course is poorly designed, mostly because of the prof!! Do not recommend it to anybody!!

An interesting choice of class in that you can not show up to lectures and get perfect grades. not to mention she changed the test format with only 2 weeks to go and screwed everyone up for no reason and then complained to us about it. all the questions r from the text anyways so its not like you need her to show up even.

Her teaching technique is not very good. I loved the material (some more than others),but it's just that the way this prof teaches is really bad. Her tests were alright, though they can get really repetitive...

I've decided that the only way I'm passing this course is if I sleep with the prof. Or the gollum guy who supervises our tests. Wish me luck!
