Comment:

Terrific professor! She was very clear in class and helpful. She makes time for her students- she emails back really fast. She likes a lot of detail on her exam and MC is tough, but if you study the material it's not that bad- you should have to think logically- it's law school. I'd take her again if I had the chance!

Comment:

Ditto with the last posts. Her exam appeared straightforward and I thought I got out of the exam doing very well, but when I got the grades and saw how it was graded, my jaw dropped. I tried to appeal. There was a section I had in the bluebook that she completely missed grading. Cooley student magistrates pride themselves on denying appeals.

Comment:

I studied hard for her exam, paid attention in her class, practiced her old exams but yet got a "C" on her exam. She will slaughter you on the exam and is an extremely hard grader. Uses the curve system which was set very low due to the fact she is a hard grader and only a few points between the letter grades. I would not take her again!

Wonderful women and loved her personality. She laid everything out perfectly. Would review the first 15 to 1/2 hr of class. Suprisingly got an A on the exam. I freaked out at 1st b/c there was alot of people and things going on in the fact pattern. Just practice old exams and make sure to understand the problems she does in class.

Comment:

The information is easy, but the grade distribution is a joke (an inconsistent spread and is only a few points). This class is a prime example of the CURVE AT COOLEY (even though administration SWEARS there is not one).

Comment:

Take another prof. Class is a stressful experience. She is very condescending and does not respect her students. If you don't answer fast enough or with the answer she is looking for, she will humiliate you. Don't dare come in late, have your phone ring, or not flip to a case fast enough...

Loved her and her teaching style. She laid it out for you. But she does grade hard. Have to "outline dump" on exam to get all the points. Talk about everything, even if it seems obvious.

Teaches like a high school teacher, not a law professor, in fact she used to be one and should go back to teaching high school. Exam was poorly drafted.

Beware!!! Like another poster stated, Very motherly, nice, and easy-going. Class material seems very easy thoughout the term. BUT -- watch out, total weed out class, very sneaky exam. Too many C's and C-'s for a class that can be self taught by reading books at Wal-Mart for a couple hours.Come On...
