She gave us the worst candy she could find during in class groupwork - Coffee Crisp.

Avoid if possible

Avoid this professor if you care about your Gpa

Professor is not able to teach the material correctly, she speaks off the powerpoint slides directly and doesn't provide useful context during her lectures. she grades hard and her class was not an enjoyable class to attend. 70% of students stopped attending her lectures after 2 weeks

Was a hard marker, very textbook heavy and does not care about her students in any way. Avoid her if you can and if you can't good luck

Very boring prof, does not care about her students whatsoever. Very strict marking scheme and will pick on students to answer questions even if they do not know the answer. Avoid her at all costs, not sure how she has a job

Professor is extremely disrespectful.

Does not post lecture slides or in-class questions. Only posts her "lecture notes" (not very useful) and solutions to textbook questions. The course is very textbook content-heavy, and it gets covered (and tested) really quickly. Grading consisted of a 20% test (20 MCQs), 30% midterm (35 MCQs) and 50% final (15 MCQs, 2 problems, 1 case).

summer semester of 2023, she was a good prof. I took her lectures+posted notes as a guide to see what portion of chapter can be left out and what need to be focused on. However, I skipped almost a quarter of lectures near the end and still did fine using posted notes to guide me on what to study from textbook. Not very hard but reading heavy.

She was a very enthusiastic professor. Her exams were also fair. In order to be successful in her class you should review the textbook and complete the end of chapter questions. There are some reviews which states that she doesn't post slides, however this year she did the PPT's along with notes for each chapter which were really helpful.
