Comment:

She's a good person, just not a good teacher. She's very knowledgeable in the subject, but teaching it seems to be something she's not great at.

Comment:

She was very weird. For the most part she is pretty nice but in my class if you were more than 5 minutes late she would not let you in. We was very unorganized. What we did in class did not match up with the syllabus very well. Not too hard to get a good grade just be sure to study the chapters before quizzes.

Comment:

I will NEVER take her again. If you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you'll get on her bad side. She ended up losing one of my assignments she turned in and have me an F for it. She wouldn't even let me print it off again for her. She's scatterbrained. She doesn't give clear instructions. You'll end up with most classes cancelled.

Read the syllabus the day it is given to know when assignments are. She will not mention it in class. Read the chapters assigned and it should be easy to rack up some good grades early on.

She is very strict on her classroom rules like no getting up during a two hour class to use the restroom, and sometimes you have to just not pay attention to her or she could get annoying.

Comment:

She is overly enthusiastic about her course work. A passive aggressive teacher, and she wants you to be overly specific on quizzes and if you're not she deducts points.

Comment:

She gives lots of quizzes which you DEFINITELY have to read the book to know the answers to. Same with the plays. She's kind of quirky on her good days, but after the first couple weeks, I wasn't as fond of her. The class isn't very hard, but she struck me as slightly condescending

Comment:

She is very enthusiastic and goofy, but can be very serious when it comes to the material. She follows the syllabus and gives a quiz over the reading almost every class. Overall, the class is pretty easy if you show up and do your work. I can understand how she wouldn't be someone's cup of tea, but I liked her goofy, fun personality.

Comment:

She is very funny and very loud, so you never are bored in class. She gives out a lot of quizzes but only the top 4 quizzes are recorded. There is only one play review which she grades pretty hard. The midterm and final are not that hard as long as you take notes in her lectures and know everything on her study guide. Super easy!

Comment:

Her class is very easy. she requires you to read chapters in the book & take quizzes on them which are easy if you read. weird voices during class. she follows the syllabus exactly. she only counts the 4 highest quiz on final grade. her review grading is odd & hard to get an A on. sometimes you have to tune her out & not listen. easy grade tho.

Comment:

She is hilarious! She uses accents to keep her lectures interesting, and she tries to engage us! Our midterm study guide had every term on it, and the test followed it exactly. She gives extra credit for being an usher at the show. She is so passionate, but may not be the most organized. Strict attendance policy! Fun teacher!

Comment:

Refrain from taking her class! I had a 4.0 until i took this class. She gives quizes everyday and then goes over the material after the test. She makes you attend a play and the write a review about the play. I have never recieved anything less than a B in any writing assignment but she gave me a 60%! I should have taken ART!!!

Comment:

Her class was very easy passed with a B and never studied for anything. Requires you to go to 2 plays and write reviews. Easy class but not a very organized professor. Her office is a huge mess and was 20 minutes late to our final!

She is crazy! Talks in random voices and goes to the extreme to get your attention. Gives lots of opportunities to get extra credit.

Comment:

She is either on one side of the fence or the other. She doesnt really clarify what she wants. When we had the play review if it wasnt positive it was a bad grade. You can do fine if you study and pay careful attention. Be prepared to study to make good grades.
