I pity the poor woman. When she cracks jokes, they aren't that funny and the students just stare at her. That being said, the class was pretty easy (AP Macro in high school was harder), and I got a good grade with minimal effort.

She's a very good professor. Material is boring at times, but only if you don't get any sleep the night before. Grading was a little ridiculous and unfair, I thought. My grade was dropped a level because of attendance, which she takes a total of 5 times.

She's funny, VERY boring sleepy class. Tests are very hard if you don't study the right way, but you get 3x5 index cards for all of them, and if you study you can do very well. Class project isnt as overwhelming as it seems

If you can take this class with another professor do so. She is boring and tries to make the exams as hard as she possibly can. The mean this past semester was between a 50 and 60 on each quiz or exam.

Class was hard, the project is the only thing that will save your grade. Exams are so difficult!

Reasonably difficult, especially the exams. I did learn a lot, some of which I've actually used in other classes.

She's a nice person and kind of funny at times; material is boring; didn't always think she explained things as well as she could have

dottie is very sarcastic, but if she likes you, things are good for you

Makes class interesting, sometimes hard to follow because she's a little goofy. Degrades herself and talks about beer too much but other than that, not a bad teacher.

She reminds me of a high school teacher. I expected more than I should have after hearing bad things about her. The class isn't bad, but she doesn't have the knowledge/enthusiasm of most profs.

Smart person, decent professor. Displays expertise, but not enthusiasm for the material she is teaching.
