Comment:

The professor was replaced halfway thru the year due to medical problems. She should have retired already, but the students also shouldn't complain so much.

Will put you to sleep everyday, not a demanding class which was good for the 1L year but she's a very nice lady just gets a little long winded sometimes but I'll take that any day over some of my other teachers I had.

Comment:

Being prepared for class was not demanding. However, I spent a lot of time using the Barbri torts materials. I rarely opened the casebook. Her test questions are very similar to the bar-style multi-state format. She may give an essay test, be sure to IRAC each issue separately.

Comment:

Be prepared to do a lot of studying on your own. She is a very smart lady and knows the material but her soft voice tends to put people to sleep. SHOW UP for class no matter how tempting it is to skip because she will deduct points for absenses. She is almost always late and by the time she takes roll you only have to endure a short time.

One of the worst professors ever. Late and is nto interested in the material. Very mean to students and expects them to know more than her on her exams.

Comment:

Speaks beautiful English but lacks clarity. The text is useless in gaining clarity. Get a BARBRI. Torts is relatively cut-and-dry, but she manages to make it confusing.

She hates teaching. Students get nothing from her class. She doesn't explain anything clearly. Her class is torture.

Comment:

I enjoyed her class, but many of the students hated her. Conflict has poisoned the well for her. She no longer enjoys teaching. But she is better by far than many of the profs here
