Comment:

Her class is very intimidating at first, and she comes off as quite intimidating as well. Two essays and debates. And the essay prompts are quite complicated to comprehend at times. But if you pay close attention to what she wants in your essay and submit questions for the readings, every week, you should be good!

Its two weeks into the quarter and ready to drop. Frequently late to class and always yells. Class meets once a week and she seems completely un-interested in teaching.

This class was boring. She's leaving Irvine soon, anyway, and she's a pretty easy A.

Comment:

This class was not very useful. The professor DOES interrupt CONSTANTLY and she hardly did any work teaching whatsoever. You basically have to teach yourself- she did not seem to care at all.

She seems very knowledgeable, but is not an effective teacher. Constantly interrupts students and presentations. Never answers emails. However, she's a generally easy grader.

Comment:

Quite possibly the most disappointing class I've ever taken. I was really excited by the class title "Intro to International Relations". She successfully managed to suck all life out of the subjects and taught us absolutely nothing. Too much rea

Comment:

Goes through her notes too fast, doesn't give the students time to take notes. When she sees you take notes, she gets annoyed and says it's all in the book. 5 weeks and we've already been through a 400p book. lectures are 3 hours long! but 1 h is a video.
