CollegeHillary is all over the place man. We got a 10% curve on this final because she couldn't write the test properly. The first half of the class was not taught by her and was great. She ruined the second half, horrible slides, mid lectures, horrible final. Still a super easy class though.
Lectures are impossible to follow and unorganized. quiz questions are poorly constricted (and tricky) and often ask about material we don't cover nearly enough
Great lecturer, super caring and passionate researcher. Very knowledgeable about many science topics and accessible outside class if you just shoot her an email. Hillary will make you work to earn the grade you want but you will learn a lot in turn. If you are able to put in the time take her class!
She talks insanely fast and goes through slides too fast! So it's hard to retain any information. She always asks if anyone has any questions and actually answers the questions. She responds to emails almost instantly and is happy to help. She's very passionate about birds & will make you read either one or both ( 2nd extra credit) books on birds.
