Alright, so this teacher heard that she was labeled as "easy" so to toughen up the course she speeds through the lectures and makes the midterm 80% book material. She does not highlight or expand on anything from the book so you have no idea what to study (except everything) and makes a vague study guide for the midterm. Why even go to class? Because if you miss more than one then you drop a letter grade. This isnt difficult material, she just is terrible at teaching it. Befriend her, annoy her, and good luck

Alright, so don't get me wrong, this professor is such a sweet lady and is very entertaining to have a class with. I love her personal experience stories and she is excellent about breaking up a two hour class period with movies, guest speakers, and powerpoints. BUT, when it comes to the midterm.... our entire class was unprepared. She gave us a study guide which pretty much said to study all of the chapters covered(A TON of information) and was extremely vague. The test was at least if not more 80% of the book's information which we do not discuss in depth during class period ironically. The class average was a 74..... Maybe she'll change her ways, maybe she'll curve the midterm. Who knows. All I know is this "seemingly easy" class turned out to be one of my most frustrating because no matter what I do, I am unsure to how I will meet her standards. So to summarize, sweet lady but be prepared for uncertainty which (at least for me) adds to stress level.

What the guy/gal below said. Amen. I too took this class and have long since graduated from Poly, but I was cruising Poly Ratings for a kick and thought that I should pipe in and let you know how much of a joke this prof is.
