She is alright. Her exams CAN be engaging if you put in your part. This means print out the lectures before hand (she *mostly* does a good job at getting them up the night before, or at the very least, a few hours before lecture). Ask questions, no matter how stupid they sound. The key is to build a positive learning relationship. It only helps you. Her exams are, to be brief, a disaster. I couldn't comprehend a lot of the format but if you can dissect the question underneath, it's pretty simple and straightforward. She encourages you to integrate knowledge between concepts, instead of just memorizing. This is great for some people, and horrendous for others. Go to her review sessions; again, helpful if you ask questions. She's a nice woman, and truly loves this class. Labs are an integral part of this course, and were sometimes fun. The weekly lab reports were a pain in the ass though. Hope you get Dan for a TA. He's pretty strict on grading, but he's consistent and fair. It only takes a lab or two to figure out what he wants. He can be nice, too!

AWFUL professor. Her lectures are not understandable, her powerpoints are awful (too much information, all diagrams, no notes!), she literally faces the front of the room and mumbles for the ENTIRE 75 minute lecture, and her test questions are completely convoluted and not at all straightforward. Her questions are SO difficult to follow, and she does an awful job of teaching the course material. It's beyond me why a professor like this is assigned to teach such an integral course in the BSCI program.

Ok, she's not good or bad. She is seriously the MOST average teacher in UMCP. Her exams are really convoluted. Her exam questions are not straightforward. Yet, the answers are. For example: Normal Question: What is the color of corn? Answer: Yellow Heven Sze Question: What is the(circle one: color/size) of (circle one: corn/tomato) Answer: ????????? what the eff She is a nice lady though. And she knows her material...good enough.
