Student reviews

Great at teaching! Really wants you to learn and loves to teach. Grades were determined only by essays on both the midterms and the quizzes, but she was pretty liberal with the grading. Super nice and her lectures are not too too boring.ASNS1101 2012-03-25 19:39:22 +0000 UTC
Had her for Chinese civilization, barely make it to the class. Wrote a research paper. Got a A from the class. Easiest class ever in NEUHIS101 2011-04-04 16:07:43 +0000 UTC
Took her for Chinese Civ in Her Eyes. Great class and a really sweet lady. There is ALOT of readings but I learned so much. If the class does the readings and can talk about them, then she will not give a test/exam. Really fair professor and really nice! I look forward to another class with her!HIST1507 2009-04-20 14:14:08 +0000 UTC
Had her for World History. She is clearly intelligent, but the class was a joke. All the quizes are on material from the textbook, so her lectures are just kind of pointless. the quizes are tough because they are so short that if you miss one question, you are screwed. exams are essays. easyHIST110 2009-04-03 09:42:16 +0000 UTC
