So kind and values learning over testing. Went over topics again she thought we didn't fully understand. Offers ways to makeup missed exam questions. Super kind, office hours are unique and have a lot of learning activities. Highlights varied speakers who give info about getting into their various careers/fields. Really cares about her students

Everyday I wish more and more I could take another class with Dr. James. She encompasses everything that the future of education should strive for. She truly cares for making sure her students are understanding the material. Everything is presented clearly and complicated concepts are broken down. She took us tide-pooling and I will never forget!

Super caring/accessible professor. (was a new professor this year). Tests are based on lecture material, discussion section, end-of-week quizzes, preview questions (just watch lectures (are recorded) to get an A) Really good at explaining material/helping you understand, breaks material further down during office hours. AN ABSOLUTE GODSEND!!!

My favorite professor here thus far. Lectures are engaging and you can tell she is passionate about what she teaches. Accessible outside of class if you need her. The tests are straightforward and fair, and there is a greater emphasis on learning rather than test taking. I cannot speak highly enough of her, take her class!
