CollegeVery passionate professor, but she is disorganized with lectures. Each slideshow was about 50-80 pages long. There is so much information thrown at you at once. The textbooks are supposed to explain things more in depth, however they do not really coincide with all lecture material. I recommend going to office hours and reviewing lectures!
She's a great lecturer and really wants students to succeed. If you have any homework questions make sure to go to office hours for clarification. If you're interested in SLP make sure to take her! This class was homework (50%) and attendance (20%) heavy with only a final (30%) - no midterm or paper. Very nice teacher!
She's really helpful, but she taught a lot of extra things we didn't really need to know. We sped through IPA in the first two weeks. Then we were learning gestural scores and anatomy. Other classes are normally IPA based, so just have prior knowledge of the IPA chart and gestural scores and maybe you'll be okay
