Comment:

Took this class as a requisite. It was either this or psych. Should have took psych... I have never called asleep during a class during my whole school career until I took this class. Her tests are extremely ambiguous - TA's have to run around like monkeys to clarify... can be really condescending and snooty. Avoid this class if you can

Comment:

The class material isn't any more challenging than any other intro course. Tests often include a few ambiguous questions, which can get annoying. For a class that incorporates videos of cute babies, it's surprisingly boring. She's not a bad instructor, but I wouldn't take this class for the purpose of having a fun elective class.

Comment:

Class is beyond boring and she only reads from a sheet. You can get a good grade from paying attention (very tough) in lecture AND doing study guides. don't read the textbook until you do the study guides, it'll be pointless

Comment:

iClicker attendance is 5% of grade. Her Powerpoint slides are nearly useless, and she just spits out a bunch of info in lecture that you're supposed to memorize. She really wants to punish people who don't attend. Study guides for prelims and final are VERY helpful. Guarantees you at least a B.

Comment:

she's awful! she reads straight from a script during lecture and seems to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. lecture material is totally unorganized. i only go to class for the clicker points. i relied on takenote for the class and the study guides that she posts on blackboard

Class is extremely easy. She will give you a study guide before the exams. Answer the questions on the study guide, pay attention in lecture and you will have an easy A

She's pretty easy and really nice. Here's a hint: Just know the concept sheets she gives out before every test from top to bottom, and you are gauranteed an A, or at least a B. You don't really have to go to class because most of what she teaches is straight fromt the text book. Just two prelims and a final. no papers. :-)

Comment:

You can easily make an A in this class without ever attending a single lecture. The professor is great, always smiling, and always willing to help, and the HD classes become more interesting in the upper levels. However, for the intro courses, do yourself a favor: stay home, buy take note, and know everything off of the review sheets they post.

Comment:

This prof is very nice and i hear her upper level classes are good. however it is quite obvious that she has no interest in actually teaching hd115. it is an intro class and she just sits there at the front of the room and talks and talks and talks. the whole class loses interest after 15 mins or so...unless theres another video.

Comment:

i'm sure she's a really nice lady but her hd 115 class is so useless. just stay home and read the textbook and memorize all the articles she brings up in class and that's all you need to do well in this class
