Comment:

Really, really bad at teaching. She doesn't really know most of the material and just reads off of the power points, or sometimes just off of the top google result for a given concept (this actually happened). Her tests are hard, not because of the material, but because of the vague wording of the questions. She doesn't answer questions either.

Comment:

Took her condensed course - semester in 5 -6 weeks. DON'T DO THIS. She was unclear on assignment criteria and on concepts. Last minute assignments given (day before). Reads off PPT's and seldom gives further examples of concepts. Taught myself most concepts. Did not answer my questions clearly.

Comment:

For anyone who says that you cannot get an A in this class, you are totally wrong! I did. This class is definitely a lot of work, and it is not for anyone who wants an "easy A" but let me tell you this... you will actually learn how to do research and in the end you will have had a great experience. Study hard and put your best foot forward.

This class is NOT EASY!! Tons and tons of work, she is not an easy grader. Impossible to get an A- 96% is an A in her class. Nonstop work, three really hard exams, and a cumulative final. Easy to get anything less than an A in the class. she is very nice and helpful, and you learn a lot,

Comment:

Professor seemed very nice person. However, her lecture is extremely boring because basically she just reads out from her powerpoint which mostly copied from the textbook. Need 95% class average if you want A. Also, her powerpoint is too busy and hard to read. I don't know how she could teach this way so many years.

Comment:

This class was very overwhelming and intimidating at first look. However I admit that I learned a lot from it. If you want an easy A take another class if you want to actually learn and work for your A take this one. Stay on top of your assignments and seek assistance when you need it, not last minute, and you'll be fine. I would take her again.

Great professor! If you don't want to read and not show up, this isn't your class. She is funny, sweet and always willing to help. Her office hours are perfect if you need help. Not an easy class, but a great class if you like research. You can learn a lot from this class, if you put effort into it. She is an amazing life mentor, amazing person.

Comment:

My history with 321 is not great, this was my retake of it, and I'm glad I got Dr. Grant the second time. The text she uses is great, it breaks down super difficult concepts into easy terms. Her lectures mirror the book. Assignments: one learns so much from doing them. She is very helpful and truly cares about her students' progress in the course.

Comment:

Lectures are all power point that are online to print. 2 exams, 1 interview project,1 presentation, 15 group tasks, attendance is taken everyday (easy 50 points!) If you do well on everything else your exam grades won't affect your grade much because trust me the exams are difficult. Grant is a wonderful lady though.

Comment:

Wonderful teacher, very open to students and very approachable (unlike other professors). She will always take a moment to help if you don't come to her last minute (right before the assignment is due). She has been an exceptional teacher, and although her class is not easy, she does a great job at preparing you for advanced courses.

Sheila is a wonderful teacher. She is caring and informative. Her tests are a little hard from what I remember (I was in her class over 2 yrs ago). But if you go to her for advise she will help you as much as she can. She is still using one of my assignments as a sample movie presentation. :)

Everything is doable. Study the notes, learn the material, and she is an excellent professor. Very clear and encourages participation. The tests are a bit difficult though so pay attention.

Comment:

I got a B in her class. So It is possible. But the experience throughout the semester is horrible. She won't help u out if u have questions, she expects u to know everything or to find out everything on ur own. LAB HORRIBLE WE HAD TO SIT THERE FOR 3 HOURS JUST STARING AT EACH OTHER. VERY UNORGANIZED, SHE NEVER HAD ANYTHING PREPARED. She will defini

Comment:

This professor can be very rude. She takes her bad mood out on students. No idea how to teach subject matter. Just reads from power point and has been known to snap at students or make them feel stupid if they need additional help. NOT RECOMMENDED!

Comment:

One of the worst professors i have ever had. Class consists of professor reading directly from the power point which she claims to be her own, but is actually provided from the book. Her power point presentations are written by the book and she just reads the slides word for word. Simply a horrifying class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS W/ THIS PROF

Comment:

Not recommended. Insults intelligence by reading straight from PP. Rushes thru lecture, if doesn't have time to finish still responsible. Test questions can be confusing. Not impossible to pass but teacher has high expectations. Teaches only from 7th edition, school offers 8th edition. Doesn't care about quality of teaching or editing own notes.
