CollegeShe gives about 5% of extra credit out so that's a huge plus ik a few people who got over 100% in this class. Big. impacts are buying the textbook, 2 research papers (Quant & Qual), and 2 attempt online quizzes. Lecture isn't too important to attend very skippableThere are in-class assignments but you can just do them at home. Quant paper is hard
The most un-organized class I've ever taken. My entire quarter was consumed by the workload from this class. The professor does not answer emails, is incredibly unclear with directions, and expects students to know how to use excel with no explanation. The TA's try their best, but this class is a complete mess. Her course is absolutely terrible.
Professor has a THICK accent and a quiet voice. I had to drop out of her class because I got a concussion and she refused to work with me or grant any extensions, despite my documentation of the incident and doctors note. All of my other professors were helpful, given that it was a medical emergency. She just said "No." and that was it.
Idk why this professor has so many bad reviews but I found her to be great. Do the reading before class so you're ready for lecture. The info she uses in lecture is what you should have read the day before. Attendance is mandatory! ATTEND SECTION, the TAs are extremely helpful. 2 quizzes per week (open book) & 2 discussions. 2 final projects.
This professor is a big failure in her teaching!! She does not teach us anything and I wish I was never a part of her class. Very hard in lectures, never understood anything of anything!! Pure BS!!! I hope that you all will never take this professor again. Be prepared to fail and for lots of vaguely written discussions. She does not help at all!
Do not take this class, for good and for the rest of your life!!! You will never learn anything from this professor. She barely teaches us anything, the quizzes are super hard to pass with a good score, the discussions are very hard based on nonsense! If you want to fail her class, good luck. Never easy to pass her class! She is terrible and bad!!!
