The test only grade for answers without any process consideration. Lectures and Tests are not in the same level. The Lectures are easy, the tests are hard because time-limited and long questions.
She was an okay lecturer, but her lectures and tests are almost exactly like Feldwinn. No partial credit on free response exams, which is frustrating. However, ALEKS is a big part of grade and I ended up getting 44 extra credit points from iclicker. Nice professor, bad exams.
Very generous extra credit, fun lectures, and she seems like an incredibly sweet person. She doesn't give any partial credit on the tests which can be annoying but they are all manageable. Occasionally she won't be able to answer questions in lecture but she is always sure to find and share the answer as quickly as possible.
