Comment:

It may have been a painful class to sit through, but it was an easy B. Did not open the textbook all semester. Do not buy the books... you will not use them. If you show up and have a pulse, you can do well in her class.

Comment:

Worst professor ever. I am not interested in anything more than I am interested in Africa, and even I was bored beyond belief in her class. She is entirely vague, incohesive, and utterly bland to listen to. She is quite the droner. Get out if you can, and learn about Africa on your own, before she makes you not want to.

Comment:

Nice lady but completely out of tune with reality. Tries to talk about Africa all the time with no correlation to the actual class. If you go to EI your grade goes up at least one letter even if you don't fix anything. EASY A.

Comment:

Kind of nuts but a nice lady, she is understanding about academy life, but just is a little out of it so she makes deadlines without thinking about it. Class is like her, just a little off, tough to figure out exactly what is going on.

all you need to know is in the comment on 4-14-05, and seriously don't get her if you're an engineer

Comment:

She's not that bad if you make a decent effort. She loves blackboard and posts up everything she does in class on there. Easy B, and a few extra minutes studying (and like 2 EI sessions with her) will give you an A.

Decent class but awful teacher. Absolutely incoherent. Easy 'B' but nearly impossible 'A'. Very poor grader.

Comment:

Her presentations are incomprehensible, and her notes and assignmenst are ridiculously full of mistakes and often don't make sense. She's also prejudiced against non-Group 3 majors, so be wary.
